A Wandering Photographer

YouTube video by roadthroughnowhere Day 5 Redwoods: Moorman Grove Tangent

A video with a lot more thoughts tying together family, beauty and the fight against fascism: youtu.be/NALPa0ZcaPc

"Sentinels of Time in the Moorman Grove"

The ocean crashes a thousand feet below,
It's mist swirls and coats
all I now know.

Cont...

Sentinels here live and grow,
skyward a third of a thousand tall
Stand they do despite their scars.
Burned, cut or blow,
For the price we pay for cowardice
Is thrice that of bravery, they crow.
And those whom do fail and fall
With fertile love
To which this verdant world quickly flow.

Cont...

Above me is a sea of branches, sky, and, dreams;
I thank the world to hear not their screams.

Cont...

Surrounding me are the muffled prayers,
Of soldiers no one hears;
Fern, moss and green
provide my life with a screen;
Below their surface
pain does grow
Because fights with fascists
we are threatened to know.

Cont...

Below me soft hummus of earth,
Absorb the heavy foot falls I birth,
Stride I do through the Moorman Grove
An end to which a treasure trove:
A trail without end to know.

The ocean crashes a thousand feet below,
It's swirling mist touches all our souls,
and this is all I owe.

Emend.

Love it!

Natural Photo Paper Developers have potential to be designed for specific printing desires. My Hackberry Bark Developer is not a great general purpose developer, not good d-max. The softness of it with this overly contrasty negative worked! Left is bark, right is Aristadol. #analog #silvergelatin

I am so excited: I will be teaching a workshop on Natural Paper Developers at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center in Denver, CO on August 7 6-9pm! If you are interested head over to their website at cpacphoto.org/natural-pape.... @cpacphoto #analog #silvergelatin #darkroomphotography #cpacphoto

First pinhole photograph, self-portrait, 1998, 8"x10" Arista film #pinholephotography #film #photography #analogphotography

Grab a box, or a broken camera, like I did here. I tore out the broken shutter on this camera and replaced the lens with three pinholes to create this multiple exposure effect. Sometimes I feel I should get back to this camera. Cheers! #worldwidepinholeday #pinhole

"Clear Lake, Iowa" Happy Earth Day. Public restrooms help keep this world from being a sh!tty place! #photographyasart #fineart #earthday

Homage to Infrastructure: "Wray, Colorado", public restrooms are a cultures way of expressing empathy for every humans needs. When we care about each other we call evolve further farther and faster. When we create division we divide our potential growth. #photographyasart #photography #empathy #art

Love this!

Homage to Infrastructure: "Highway U.S. 89, Utah", public restrooms are a cultures way of expressing empathy for every humans needs. They alter our world to be more inclusive so I alter the photographs so all angles empathize with the natural order. #photographyasart #photography #empathy #art

FYI: He menas "boom" as implodes.

Homage to Infrastructure: "Durango, CO", public restrooms are a cultures way of expressing empathy for every humans need and should be celebrated as the height of a culture's strive for greatness. I add a complementary color surrounding the photo to give dynamic feel. #photographyasart #photography

Homage to Infrastructure: "Taos, NM", public restrooms are a cultures way of expressing empathy for every humans need and should be celebrated as the height of a culture's strive for greatness. I use Ps to arrange the distorted straight lines back to match x/y axis. #photographyasart #photography

"846": this portfolio's overriding message is: inequality anywhere hurts us everywhere. After George Floyd's murder I began taking photographs on paper with an exposure time of 8:46. During this time I worked to understand my white male privilege and I how I had failed to understand it in the past.

No matter where I go my white, male, privilege follows, inescapable, comforting. Unearned. Inequitable. 8:46 in the Year 20(19)20: “Grain Elevators”, June 16, 2020, captured on a 3A Autographic Kodak Special camera. #bwphoto #photography #fineartphoto #analogphoto #papernegative #KodakAutographics
