i have been suggesting recently that it might be easier for discussion here if all comments came under Dialogue…this seems to be the right time to give it a try….as with all things, it is timing, timing and timing….
when i read Laura El Tantawy’s comment under the Chiara Tocci “selected single”, it seemed perhaps this was the right time to publish her essay “Fervent Spirits” which has been “sitting on my desk” now for awhile….i have closed comments directly under her essay , but i am wishing that it works for all of you to simply comment on Laura’s essay right here, and comment on the two singles by Chiara Tocci and Stephen Burrows in the context of a “whole”….after all, they seem quite related….
certainly history and the results of history play into everything we do and all that we believe to be true….truth is the mantra of journalists, but i think we can see clearly that there are many ways to unlock our minds and our vision and to accept the myriad of styles and juxtapositions a photographer might employ to get to the meat of history via the present….
we are bombarded daily with news…”breaking news”…pretty hard to keep up….television does not give us much time to think things through despite the incredible advantage of being in the NOW…however, our “stills”craft does allow for reflection….this is not to take away at all from those who devote their lives to bringing us daily knowledge of world events….journalists pay with their own blood almost everyday in this pursuit..but, here we have something else…a certain poignancy of “behind the scenes”…..the results of history, the effects of politics and , of course, religious context always (against it’s own will ) becomes embroiled in both…
my questions for you are simple…..does “news” affect the way you think about history or do you prefer written “think pieces” to help you shape your thoughts?? is photography just in it’s infancy as a language and can it editorialize the way words do?? do photographs which exist only because of their historical context help us coalesce our collective conscience and “sensitize” us to help us move into a new day???
I have just written a comment and it disappeared…

No! Absolutely nothing…
No! I regret nothing
Neither the good that I’ve done nor the bad
All this is much the same to me!
No! Absolutely nothing…
No! I regret nothing…
It is paid, swept away, forgotten
I don’t care about the past!

My sorrows, my pleasures
I need them no more!
Swept away the love affairs
With their tremors
Swept away forever
I leave with nothing …
No! Absolutely nothing…
No! I regret nothing

Anton is going on the adventure of his life….but he is not leaving us all alone here with only me to try to handle the tech stuff (i am a disaster at tech)..in the last three months he and i have managed to almost never be in the same country at the same time…so, technology rules!!! Anton rules!! i am still developing film….
now now now…you referred to “kibbutz”…the nickname of my apartment building….our BURN building….coincidence????
hmmmmmmm……

sorry

Mr.Harvey,
I hope that at least,my baby Anton got a decent paycheck before he left your “kibbutz” place…
BUT,I have to admit something here…
I don’t know you or any of you people, I have never met you or anyone else.I have seen your works, your burb books ,I have visited galleries and I buy lots of books …which I give them to friends …which that means I got no books , or no?
Let’s be serious though. I love the word “kibbutz” because it gives me a full taste in my mouth!!
Please, everyone try to say Mpompota or kebab or moustalevria or laxanontolmadakia or patatokeftedes …
How does it fell…A!!! Now we are talking:)))
P.S PLease,don’t distract me 12 hours left

WHAT ELSE DO WE WANT…Are you dunno??
F^%$K WE GOT OUZO TOO!!!LOT”S OF OUZO!!!!
the truth is that, as of april 1st, Civilian will finally reveal herself/himself…and as the moments scattered like broken teeth across a linoleum floor, Civilian gets more erradic….awaiting the deadline, that apocolyptic deadline that seems to me startling all the photographers of the world at the moment (Skinner would have been salivating), as the EPG approaches like a Black Sun…

Sorry Plato ,
I was distracting them.From now on they will be more focused .
Civilian Done Enough For Now:
I just nodded when i read your job orders for Katie (a name i always loved and few ever called me..*soft*). Ok, i will try. Yeah, me and Panos, our potty mouths..i don’t talk like that in real life, i just think like that. Too much soap washing my mouth out at the hands of my Irish mom who i hope shall only ever cry in happiness.
You know, i just gotta say this..no, i never just have to say this, i always have to say more than anyone wants/needs to hear..for a time, i was only ‘here’ when i was here at all. With you and Gracie. During the late night Burn Edition. Skeleton crew we were too. Often it was only me cuz Gracie and you were zzzzzzzz. And i would scan negs and read both of your musical posts, trading vowels and sounds, like little bird chirps in the tree, making the kind of sense only you and she could understand. But it was a low time for me and the sounds you traded gave me solace. So now you are off to the bathroom, swapping ouzo for toilet paper (read paycheck)..ok, ok, i promise to try to live up to your expectations though i have my doubts. And you, no weepy words from me, just standing here in the doorway, one hand lifted, open palm facing the 24k Greek sunlight, not even waving, just nodding..till we meet again, dear one..for it shall happen. Travel safe and wisely. Invest yourself completely in whatever you do. Keep buying/giving books. Think of us as we shall think of you and be ohhhhh so Civil and Happy.
And yes, haha, Panos and i well, we will never be editors..loose cannons yes, editors no. We are moreover the bane of editors. The anti-editor. The un-editor. The editor not. But Panos far, far outclasses me with his explosive brilliance..pow-pow..positively takes the breath away. Bless that man’s spontaneous whiplash.
i won’t be here later when the sand will have run out so i am saying my toodle-oo now.
In Spanish (at least here in CR), we don’t say adios. It’s too permanent. We say Hasta Luego.
so hasta luego, mi querido Civilian

Kathleen
thank you for the fuller story..you tell it perfectly, and I can feel your dad when he sees your mom for the first time and gets off the bus..
I don’t follow why my reaction to your mom and Helen’s work is surprising..I rarely hear of anyone being so touched by photographs, but Helen gave your mom something real. The thought that my work could do the same is fairly profound, and it is an encouraging possibility to be able to touch someone that way through photography. I agree to you that it is important that we record what is in front of us for the next generation to the best of our ability, but this isn’t why the rise to be a photographer stirs in me. I have always felt the pull between art for art’s sake and art for a more clearly defined ’cause’..and my ‘semi-tortured’ status comes from that..in that I question the import of what I am doing at times if it isn’t linked to some greater good. Solution seems fairly straight forward, I just need to make it happen.
TO MY KAT-NO CRY-ANYMORE…
I will definitely gonna upgrade your room to a junior suite (Greece)
You KATIE FONSECA have earned this BUT …

“I myself always want more friends. I love smiles. Many smiles produce no feeling of satisfaction, and sometimes they can even create suspicion or fear, can?t they?
But a genuine smile really gives us a feeling of freshness and is, I believe, unique to human beings. If these are the smiles we want, then we ourselves must create the reasons for them to appear…
If you have a sincere and open heart, you naturally feel self- worth and confidence, and there is no need to be fearful of others…
I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness.”

just think…we get to be roommates in the land of Civil Ians. cool. i get the window side..but you get the TV remote. Fair?
kat~
savoring the possibility….
you can have the window side… katie-cakes
you can have the remote too.
as long as i have all the sink.
do you want me to bring you a pair of … earplugs?
Hey Gracie..
sure is quiet around here now, huh? funny how music playing so softly in the background can fill an entire room while its sudden absence seems to suck the the very oxygen out of the air.
earplugs, chica? heh…better a ball gag i think :)
tiniest pictures, teentsiest words the slightest whisper..
all are missed..
yur bff
kat~
i´m here.. chatting on skype with subrajit… connections spin away from this place sometimes..
civilian is on a promise to return.. i hope so very much..
katie-cakes and david b,
dontcha think civilian is taking a damned long time in the bathroom?
might he need pills for that?
hmmm, wondering if hes needin’ internet connections…
to order some from canada…
sure is quiet around here
*moonlit tumbleweed moves in screen-left, out of screen-right*
‘kathleen.. is that you?
gracie.. it’s so dark in here..’
civilian is still around i think.. he’s either going to quietly rejoin in another name or leap out of a dark corner shoting BOO with a broad grin just when we least expect it…
he’s only just met TOR CAPA AS Erichthonios, and has left the poor baby at a loss for words..

Daid B and Gracie
Gracie, yer a funnykins fer sure..i was too busy missing Civilian to remember he was just going to the bathroom. Internet connections, pills, haha, you really made me laugh right out loud this morning and what a gray and sullen morning it is too. The air does not move in the garden, the leaves do not tremble, the palm fronds are silent, they do not bow low and scrape one another, tropical petals bright as a Jackson Pollack palette sag listlessly. Nothing drops to the ground with one last sigh of relief, despair or surrender. The only thing moving are the fat bottomed joggers who plod heavily by, hunched into the chill stillness as if shouldering a very big burden. Or the man who walks, his chin tucked into his chest, massive biceps pumping heavy free weights up and down. i fear for his rotator cuffs. Like he needs bigger arms. For what? To push a pencil across a government desk while daydreaming about the chica in the next cubicle? Do you think she even notices those biceps? Does he even notice Pollack´s petals? Both unlikely.
Civilian, since you are not here to get my daily cuppa cuppa fresh air, inhaled straight from your cheerful, gentle, sometimes tinged with a classic Greek melancholy delivery and always served up with grace and flair and sometimes spiced with a lil snatch of song, then i give you a Costa Rican morning tableau. Can you see it from way-way-waaaaay-over-there?
David B, if he promised then he will return. It is so nice of you to voice your esperanza, sending a wee vibration into the ether that he might pick up, and Gracie, he/she is right now smiling in his/her/mutant ninja peaceful slumber as he (too lazy to include all possible gender) watches the curly blond head of Leontoin bobbing in and out of the essays and featured photos, imparting her subtle observations and gentle encouragement to one and all.
i am off, much to do, and it´s all good.
may ALL have a wonderful day or evening..wherever you happen to be.

You posted as i was writing..you are now Special-D to me. Anyone who calls Civilian a friend is a friend of mine. And yer funny too..BOO..i like that thought, my little inner child hands are clapping in glee.

Funny, I would have bet she was a Magnum photographer, maybe because I saw her NY pictures at the HCB gallery last spring. In any case, I think Helen Levitt was close to many photographers heart on BURN. Here was and is someone we can always learn from, looking at her pictures.

good news……….
just published………… 10 minutes ago…..
literally…..
new book …….. about Tony…… “Jim Morrison” & the Doors……
or should i say “PEACE FROG”????????

congrats, Panos!!
Mike P..
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
:))))!
Panos
Congratulations, how exciting! You are a working m-f-c-k-r! Looks like this was fun to shoot..you do so well with mind-boggling slighting conditions! Oh yeah, the first concert i ever went to was Jim Morrison and the Doors in Asbury Park, NJ. I was standing at the light on this very hot end of summer day. It was Labor Day weekend. i was 17. i was shielding my eyes from the sun, trying to see when the light turned green. The Convention Center was behind me. An already very old building on the boardwalk. I had just spent the previous two hours sneaking in and wandering these dilapidated dressing rooms and had found a lot of very old Life magazine issues..it was a very spooky place..anyway, there i was at the light and this limo pulled up right in front of me..”Doors” written in very large letters on the side. The windows were black. But for that moment i stood right next to him..seperated by a little bit of sheet metal and tinted glass from my idol.
Two days ago VP Joe Biden passed me as i sat in a traffic jam in CR. It was the same kind of moment for me, just an eon or so later.
Makes one stop and think and smile at the passage of time and the changes. What matters in the long run, what burns like a comet and fades into dust.
Congratulations on your book, Panos
*respectful nod*
Civilian..
(wo)man(mutant ninja), you’re a sight for sore eyes. I know, i know. i promised to make this a better Kibbutz but when you left the (hot) air just kinda went out of me. I will try harder.
Special-D, LOL…no not my bra size or a special potion..it was a play on the sound of Specialty but guess it didn’t translate well. Still, i like David D’s poetic and comic qualities. He combines them well, don’t you think? And he’s also magnanimous..so he’s still special-d to me.
miss you muchissiissimo..hope my key doesn’t rust when you water your geraniums..geez..my eloquence has long since departed. Suffice it to say i hope you’re well and all that happy stuff. Thanks for stopping by. There’s nobody like you.
