Speaking of the Blues and Mississippi Delta…Thought you might enjoy this site/project called American Diversity Project …(http://www.americandiversityproject.org/2007/multimedia)
Last year, the group spent a week in the Delta area making a collective documentary. Every year we try and capture the heart and soul of a different rural area.

saludos!

i’ll be 49 on june 1st and i feel just as youthful as i did when i was a teenager!
i really think it has everything to do with having a positive outlook – an EXUBERANCE for life. whatever age i may be, i would never let that stop me for one second in pursuing whatever passion might ignite in me. age is really just a state of mind, yes?

i read a quote from a photographer (can’t recall who) and he said, “the older i get, the more innocent i get.” and that’s exactly how i feel. i become MORE childlike as time passes. Life is miraculous to me.

on a side-note, did you receive my enthusiastic reply to your suggested assignment for me? i’ll be free of school in one month (mid-june) and will be ready and oh-so-willing to tackle your assignment with gusto!

katia

oh, and will you be showing any of my work at look3? (wish i could be there!!) if you need anything in higher-res, let me know.

iamkatia@gmail.com

be well you..

the reason your name and a “/” are still there is probably because you haven’t included a “http://” at the beginning of your website address (in your TypeKey account)

Michael is correct if you’re NOT using TypeKey or TypePad… then there is no http:// necessary (but even so, it should not break anything if you do).

maybe check if you did or did not include the “http://”… that’ll most likely be the culprit here…

hope this helps

On this page underneath “post a comment” there is a place for your name then email address then URL…in the URL space what do you have?

Mine is simply http://www.michaelkircher.com. No http:// or anything else. It takes you right to my web page. Doesn’t go to a Typepad page of any kind.

That is what in in the profile, For some reason the link is putting my name and a / in front.

If anyone has any ideas why, please let me know.

No hard critique for you, also you did not tell us what you were after when you went to Morocco, and did not tell us where you think you failed. I do not think it’s about missing this or that shot, reading you, and I sense that your disappointment is not just about that trip.

And I don’t say that we should exchange pats in the back with hard critique, just relate to what you are really saying.

I’d be surprised if all of us do not have doubts and self-questionning about what we do. And should! So… We can relate ;-)

Off and running with BUS STOP may be an overstatement :):)… Let’s say that I am trying to establish some contacts/ links for the other two proposals (Boxing and Somalia Refugees) and it will take me a bit more time to get these stories going…so, I started with the easy one… Bus stop is indeed such an easy topic to at least get started….One place where you can easily stop for one hour during the week-end, or break from work…..Difficulty will be to do something that does not all look the same stuff at the end (this is how it looks a bit right now so I will need some creativity here to do different views and get different interesting characters into the story or, more likely I will stop and will move on to one of the other 2 ideas… Currently, half of the pictures are hot from the press (one hour shooting this week-end) and the others are somewhat older and were shot few months ago… If David likes the idea of such an essay in a single confined space, I might carry on although my guess is that he may want something more diverse…Having attended a workshop with him, I would guess that he would rather pick a single shot in this location and then do something somewhere else so that it is not too repititive..Anyway, just having fun really to see what I could do with this….

PETE,

Thanks for your kind comments and I am glad you have enjoyed the site. I guess professional or NOT, we are all going after getting a few interesting images…I happen to not do this for a living….By the way, I tried to connect to your own site and it would not allow it. You may want to check your link.

Cheers, Eric

i’m experiencing difficulties attaining sharpness with this lens and the attachment ? any advice out there for clarity ? i never used a range finder before and to my knowledge you focus primarily by lining up the ghost images..

I just spent a good deal of time on your site.

In your “About Me” section you state “Clearly I am NOT a professional photographer….”

I would like to say that in my opinion, THAT IS CRAP.

I don’t think the definition of a professional photographer is dependent on the photographer earning a living from their work, or photography being their “Job”.

You are talented, and there is a lot of wonderful work on your site. I think by any other professional photographer’s measure, you would most definitely be considered a professional.

Nice work, and I love the bus stop images.

The older I get (still a young 41), the less I feel encumbered by my age.

It’s partly psychological: with successful experiences comes increased self confidence. I know how I learn, I know how I tend to solve problems, and I know my work ethic. I know that if I believe in an idea, I can make it happen. I didn’t always feel that way.

It’s partly practical: with time, comes some freedoms. I am essentially my own boss. If I’ve found that elusive inspiration, I can work all night if I want to. If I want to spend some of my “spare time” playing bass in a jazz group or expanding my photographic skills, I know if and when I can or cannot do it. Sometimes I’ll just do it anyway.

That is, as long as my wife approves, of course…

happy happy birthday man! hope the mosquitoes keep on stinging and finding lot of youngness and LIFE :))))

i have the same feeling developing negs as you describe… just had it today as a matter of fact…. went to a play the day before yesterday… a bunch of young actors playing important stuff incredibly intensely… well it seemed that way to me at least…. it SWEPT me… so i went up to them after the show and asked if i could do some pics before the next show…

…i mean, even WHILE i was doing the portraits of them preparing for their next performance i could FEEL the intensity through the lens, the electricity, the story that was going to be told… and i was so happy i captured that with ten portraits…. and then today i develop AND IT’S NOT THERE… where is it… i wonder if it’s me looking at my own images…

…it’s like it always needs a lot of time… time as in getting my head cleared for a while… detaching myself and then re-attaching…

and DESPITE ALL THAT i get up every morning acheing to make more and more

and more

and enjoying every second of it…

so i’m a happy camper after all :))

maybe we should all have an EMPTY camera without any TRI-X in it… and taking the best memories you can imagine…

peace
anton

you are all ready off and running with Bus Stop? This is new new, right?

thank you..Working ‘method’..these are people I don’t know, but it only takes a moment to get close..and there is something special in not knowing someone, but intuiting the common ground..like you say..the humanity..we are all one, it’s right there, it’s just a matter of openness/trust and connection. Maybe it comes down to being able to read who is willing to collaborate for a moment in time..which is all that most of these are, I shoot very little film/spend very little time with an individual. It becomes something different when you know ‘things’ or ‘facts’ about someone..what they do, what they think..that’s the stuff that can start to create the appearance of division, that then has to be worked through to come back to the place of oneness where we started..
