I've been around, just... not here... 'til now.
I love film and grain
how rapid fix curls up
my nose hairs and
burns in cracked cuticles
kitchen sink processing and
the anticipation of a great find in
a still wet roll pulled freshly off
the reel
an affair for more than 35 years
occasionally I'll stray to pixel but
film is a lifetime
self contained storage
pixel I found can be lost with
the crash of a hard drive
I had a phone conversation with my best childhood friend the other day. as kids, blood brothers, cut our hands, made the pact and the whole works. actually by revealing that I should have all my hairs plucked out one by one by geckos. if I were a little school girl, in todays speak I guess he'd be my bff... anyway, I'd like to quote him:
"Oh, man, I was on your flickr site looking at your work. I knew you were good but this was great. I kept looking and looking, didn't realize you had such great work. Then I noticed it wasn't yours."

Every so often I *need* to wander through Michael's flickr stream. Not only for the sheer joy of looking at his wonderful photographs, but because I also admire his talent for building cameras. The thought, planning and detail involved in his work is astounding. Michael is a truly unique artist.
