And thanks again to everyone for their consideration and comments.

Have the comments and views posted here changed your perspective and how you will document this Brooklyn Carnival in the future?

Nice work, nice lights! Instinctive and spontaneous!
Obviously burning!

It wasn’t so much a bar room brawl, more the start of handbags at dawn, but it was dragging away from Michael’s good work and discussing that too much, I felt. And it did seem to be just a misunderstanding over nothing.

Panos i I was always under the (perhaps quite mistaken) impression that the 420 was all about blunts? That’s probably why you didn’t know the L term. Yup. ;-)

i did not know what an “L” was…or rather i had never heard that term..hmmmmmm…..and after a quick scan of comments i see no attacks..so did i miss a good bar room brawl or something? damn….

Burnblogfan, although I think it’s fair to question the accuracy of the content of your post about burn publishing proclivities, I see nothing wrong with your having made those observations, nor the manner in which you made them, and can see how you thought they were relevant to my essay. As far as I’m concerned (which is not far, I am not on staff), you are welcome to your anonymousness as long as you don’t use it to post personal attacks, which you haven’t and you don’t seem like the type who would. To me you seem thoughtful and well-educated about photography. I appreciate your consideration of my work, and I hope you stick around and continue commenting.

If Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-… That’s all, folks, thanks again. It’s been fun.

I would agree with Framers Intent… you should stay and come out of the cupboard, but anyway that´s up to you isn’t it…
However I’ve got the feeling the expression “Cut your nose to spite your face”, suits you to a T.
Bye

And if you and Imants do feel the need to keep beefing, maybe at least move it to a dialogue thread instead?

An “L” – so called for the pattern of the papers prior to rolling. (DAH & ‘crew’ – delete this if unsavoury for this site…please…no offence, I understand, hence my sly comment previously) An “L” is a doobie, a dutchie, a spliff, a draw, a joint, a rolled up smoke of herb.

I’ve not been anything but cool, and have responded to Imants prodding with nothing but restraint.

so consider me chilled… but… what is an “L?”

bbf out

While not wanting to step into the fray here, can I ask the both of you to cool it? This seems a little overblown, and is certainly a distraction from MW’s work, which is what we should rightly be discussing in this thread. Both of you seem (to me) to be a little disrespectful to him in getting into it here.

IMANTS – I don’t think burnblogfan meant it as an insult, and DAH took it graciously and in good humour earlier in this thread. I think it was meant as something of a compliment, however nuanced in phrasing.

BURNBLOGFAN – I think Imants has a point. As internet communities go, this one is tiny (and perhaps the better for it, at least, it grows slowly but strongly, firmly, and that’s good). We’re all friends here, in the sense that Burnians generally know where/how to find other Burnians. Either through having discussed and swapped details and personal info, or through linking to e.g. our websites. I feel a bit slack on this point, as I am currently attempting (and failing quite spectacularly at) building my own website. But, as a commercial ‘tog, I’m guessing that you have one. Would it really hurt to post a link to it, and let people see your work? We’re all here to help each other. Aint no one gonna rag on your work just for being “commercial” (and the older I get, the less I know what that means…).

Anyway, is there any chance we could all swallow an olive branch? Or smoke a chill pill? Or at least share an L? ;-) Peace, guys. One luv.
