    The workshop – is one Paradigm shift after another. It doesn’t just reshape your work, but your whole way of seeing and thinking. :) David and his guest speakers are absolutely amazing. Their brutal critiques offer no comfort to poor choices and mistakes. Therefore as a human being FEAR kicks in. Fear of failing, fear of not growing, fear of being upset, fear of waisting your time, fear of waisting David’s time, fear of DAVID’S next critique!!! So the only option is to change and do better and work that eye!

    Love that shot of David and screen behind, Patricia. If we did not see the perennial DAH glasses standing on the scalp, in the shadow, we’d think he’s about to get bled by Nosferatu the Vampire. That hand on the screen…. shades of Murnau…. So spooky!

    NosferaDAH….:-)))

    wow..reading Justin, Erica, Patricia..etc..phew..makes me wanna dive under my chair and get away from all that madness..i can’t even imagine..i also like the idea of frames pinned to the wall..at first i didn’t but yeah, it’s good. No offense Gordon, but the day one of my prints gets put into a leatherette frame, just take a backhoe to my camera closet and pound all that metal, plastic and glass into dust.

    The show? i still wish with all my heart and soul that i could have been there.

    Thanks all who brought back pics and reports..

    DAH..i am so impressed.

    goodnight all..

    ALL…

    i will give a full report soonest on how we will keep the prints going and move this show around if we so decide…for the moment, i suggest we just leave the show up…i have several appointments from potential buyers…i think we can create smaller appointment based gatherings to help make these prints have a life of their own…i think we have sold three prints so far…2 out of the 3 from our Burn audience..

    cheers, david

    It would be great to have these photos from “burn photographers” (hey, there’s a nice catch phrase) online so that those of us who can’t get to New York could have a chance to buy some of their prints.

    +1 to what Jim says, above.

    The sun is finally out here in the bluegrass…perhaps photos of horses and people to be had…

    Good light,
    all.

    JIM…ALL

    of course, we will do this…just give me a couple of days “recovery time” please…i do not want to sound trite nor congratulatory, but the event was absolutely organic and historic in nature….quite beyond my imagination actually….i think you would have enjoyed it Jim…our space here is now permanently transformed assuming we can keep the space…we are right on the edge between total disaster and launching forward significantly…my favorite place to be!!

    cheers, david

    Kathleen, you have such a way with words m’dear.(laughing)

    Actually, little leatherette folios look like book covers, just an elegant and portable way to display a small formal portrait of your kids instead of a thumbtack into your mantle.

    I was not at all suggesting Burn gallery prints be displayed in leatherette, although a few of those Fulsom shots posted here earlier might benefit from the leather look.

    Just making a point about percieved value. I make my living selling prints and know that my clients would never pay the kind of prices I charge if they came into the studio and saw prints thumbtacked to the walls.
    Presentation is important assuming the intention is to make a sale.

    GORDON L,

    I am a Civilian…everyday consumer…
    I want to believe that I am closer to the organic side…
    hmmm…but oime,oime…presentation is important …
    BURNIANS …any ideas ???

    P.S and yes, KATIE,KATHLEEN,STREET FIGHTER, SWORD TONGUE…what a writer…
    to LOVE for…!!!

    Appreciate your perspective but must echo others who agreed it felt just right. In fact I recall Martin Parr’s prints thumbtacked (or some such) uunmatted unframed on the walls of a gallery during LOOK3 in C’ville…and each was going for up to $6000 apiece.

    Tom…
    just saw your comment from yesterday… I completely understand the last part… it’s a bit weird for me too…

    All…
    (off topic but…)

    I went to Athens for a few days during the Greek parliamentary elections that took place on October 4th and I just finished editing and uploading a sequence which is something like a visual blog entry—kind of a road trip take really—about the whole thing… Hope you like it…

    http://www.tzalavras.com/Greek_Elections_2009/index.html

    For a title I chose the translation of a cynical but to the point poster “…they will remember all about you in 4 years, sucker…”

    Oh, by the way, while editing I was listening to The New Yorker’s fiction podcasts:

    http://www.newyorker.com/online/podcasts/fiction

    if you haven’t found them yet, they’re the perfect company for scanning, editing, etc…
    (that is, *next* to the complete Pink Floyd discography :)))

    Man this place has gone crazy, I don’t read emails foe a couple of days and wham bam I am overloaded with unread burn comments, Burn is going ballistic it’s going to turn into a full time job keeping up with all the posts here.

    I guess the showing went well which has added to the comments.

    Well done to all involved for creating such a great place.

    cheers

    aitken, I hear you, man, it’s exactly the same for me :-)
    I think i spend most of my time on burn just trying to catch up with all the comments, after checking out the featured essays…it’s c r a z y and so beautiful!
    by the way, looks like you guys had a blast and definitely it all makes me want to be there next time, or asap anyway! Too bad i’m “just” a few hundred miles (and a few hundreds euros) away from there, but it’s great to know you can be somehow part of the “burn-experience” just by being online and feeling like a small part of this community. Like an ant witnessing an avalanche, in the most possible positive meaning :-)
    Patricia, Jason, thanks for sharing your pictures!!

    BURNIANS, ALL,

    even me the Civilian got lost …

    there is no AVALON …no more
    I see an avalanche instead.
    Francesco now is in awe
    and Aitken Loves …
    the BURNing flow…
