chronicling the journey of these images, here with test strips. the night photo is easy to manage, the other two need more contrast then tests as ghost images before settling on their final form. i’m doing this in real time, as a way to show the fits and starts required to bring new work to life.

lights on, with a follow up tour…

posting from the darkroom today, showing how i set up to process sheet film, which is identical for each format from 4x5 to 16x20-inch sheets.

next saturday is the medium festival of photography in san diego… a free event that has more ways to engage with creative photography than one i’ve attended, much less heard about. it’s how we do “awesome”. the pie was just sweetened with a raffle—mark you calendar and plan to join us on 3/22!

what an inspiring read… i love seeing the work of new generations of artists, but this takes the cake. hard to imagine i might miss the exhibition 😕

the simple joy of touching kumeyaay pottery in the desert. those finger impressions from a hand made object never cease to give me feelings of awe… like shaking hands with someone a few hundred years old.

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

Feb 5 – Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller (1877–1968)
A sculptor ahead of her time, Fuller created works on Black struggle and liberation decades before the Harlem Renaissance. Her 1913 sculpture Ethiopia Awakening depicted the birth of Black consciousness. #BlackWomenInArt

chatting w @buzzysullivan.bsky.social recently about a new piece… 16x20 palladium paper negative and 10 - 4x5 platinum prints shot on film. two 600 mile trips and three weeks in the darkroom. tough to beat.
