Deja Vu III – We Are The World

3D Jazz Project Promo Session – Feb. 2019 – Cary Ballet Conservatory

Long, long ago, I was the resident Field Tech at NASA’s Glenn Research Center (nee Lewis Research Center) for the long gone, Digital Equipment Corporation.

Pretty sure the Scientists & Engineers & Techs I worked with, would approve.

The background image is NASA’s. The foreground is mine.

The photograph is all of us.

Deja Vu II

The latest version of these prints shipped from my lab today. So did the Nielsen Profile 13 Float Frames that will mount & place them on my apt. wall.

I saw a Herb Ritts Exhibit at Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, Oct. , 2016. Stuff you can’t make up – a 5 minute walk from our apt. in Marais.

Dry mounted prints on standouts in float frames. No glass or mattes. Nothing to get between the viewer and photograph. Meme chose.

The Windows In Studio A #1

Cary Ballet Professional Training Program – ADC Preview – 26 Jan 2022

I am well and comfortably retired and my work still resonates in my heart.

I know that I will show and write about photographs I made by the light of the “Windows In Studio A”. Like all things, it has, like me since changed. As has the young dancer shown here. Who I admired and found to be a perceptive and thoughtful assistant in studio sessions. Some images stay in memory.

The Muse Provides

Cary Ballet Company “Space & Tech Rehearsal” at Cary Arts Center – 12/12/12

I’ve read about Muses. It was serendipity that made this image. Later, looking at the days work, this stunned me. And had no idea why. And realized while I thought I knew what I was doing, didn’t. So I spent the summer learning. And ten years trying to get it right. I owe her. A lot. In about a year, I’ll have a web site & book that explains. The title of both is above.

A Walk In The Park

Okay, a Nature Preserve. Where I went 16 years ago to practice and learn how to make photographs with the gear I had. Same as I did today with some new to me gear.

And try out ideas that I had no idea of the result. Knowing that a Digital Negative was just the beginning. Plus a good sweaty workout on about a mile of forest trail, humping 25 lbs of gear. A very good day.
