Prisons (suite) tentatives d'autoportraits (2017 / 2018 retouches finales 2020 / 2021)
Bracketing d'exposition fusionné avec Photomatix et re-traité localement avec DXO PhotoLab
le résultat de la superposition de photos -avec le logiciel "Photomatix"- est volontairement sous-exposé pour permettre le travail -dans "DXO PhotoLab"- de (ce que j’assimile à des) glacis, par des "points de contrôle", cercles de masques en dégradés radiaux, dans lesquels peuvent être inclus différents effets, j’utilise principalement les mesures d’exposition, pour remodeler l’image à ma guise -et, surtout : "La figure existe déjà dans le bloc de marbre" affirmait Michel ange , "il suffit de savoir l'en détacher"
Le cadre est le même que celui de la première série (2011/2012), celui d’un mur de mon atelier qui continue à raconter son vécu (clous, vis, fissures et graffitis -qui en deviennent la peau de l'image, ses cicatrices, rides et grains de beauté). Mais là où la première série était cadrée en "portrait" (en pied -l’appareil photo étant à la même distance du mur dans les 2 séries), la 2ème l’est en "paysage" et comprend sur la gauche une porte, et sur la droite, une fenêtre.
Au fil de tirages (sans compression, j’utilise le .tif pour cette série) j’ai éliminé ou réduit la présence de la porte et de la fenêtre, privilégiant le(s) personnage(s) situé(s) plus ou moins au centre gauche du cadre. J’ai beaucoup utilisé la "gomme" de DXO qui permet, selon sa dimension, l’espace couvert et l’endroit du clic de départ, des variations dans la duplication de parties de l’image.
La trame, boyaux, lianes, paysages, sont mes sculptures en papier toilette dont j’ai varié les positions dans le cadre, au fil des photos, et dont la fusion permet ces ouvertures sur d’autres contrées
Mon corps, que mon corps, nu, mais dont les parties qui peuvent être censurées sont enlevées (castrées) -ce ne sont pas les seuls sévices que (dans la seule représentation de l’aléatoire des fusions d’images et du travail de dévoilement que j’y fais) je me fais subir.
Une amie -que l’on retrouve dans certaines photos- a bien voulue me servir de "modèle" pour illustrer cette autre geôle qu’est la projection dans "l’autre" et les systèmes qui s’installent pour perpétuer des prédéterminismes.
Pour la 1ère série, j’avais écrit : "Ma prison c'est aussi mon corps, ma maison, ma vision du monde et l'espace entre la naissance et la mort

Cadre serré, enfermé de ma condition, comment contredire le destin ?
Un coin d’appart, un drap sur le sol, un rideau à la fenêtre, parfois d’anciens modelages en pq, et le corps.
Demain cinquante ans.
Raws de sous-exposés à surexposés, fusionnés pour une image ouverte à la transformation de ses lumières, de ses couleurs et de ses contrastes, jusque dans les traitements locaux les plus fins.
Je presse le sujet pour en sortir les jus les plus profonds, et pourtant, il parvient toujours à m’échapper…
Parti de Muybridge et Marey j’ai rencontré toute l’histoire de l’image, du taureau de Lascaux au bœuf écorché, crucifié ou autre compotier, de l’odalisque à la Vénus en fleur offerte, à toute l’histoire de la vanité…
Aujourd’hui cinquante ans."

Aujourd’hui, sur les photos de la nouvelle série, j’ai 56 ans (2017), mais je suis en route, après des centaines de possibilités d’images, après des milliers d’heures de travail, vers les 60 ans (2022).
Je rencontre Rubens, Rembrandt, Vermeer, le Caravage, Georges de la Tour, beaucoup Turner, je rencontre Van Gogh, Pissaro, Monet et Renoir mais aussi des fresques antiques, des visages de Francis Bacon, des textures de jeux vidéos ou encore des affiches de films d’horreur
Et ce n'est pas fini, je continue à rencontrer les Alpes de Courbet, le romantisme de Caspar David Friedrich, de Camille Corot, de Jean-Baptiste Millet, les courbes de François Boucher et les envolées de Fragonard, la théâtralité d’Antoine Watteau...
Je rencontre la jungle, la forêt en feu, la tempête, les fonds sous-marin, les montagnes sous les nuages, les égouts, des monstres, des êtres originels, etc.
Les gilets jaunes m’ont permis (et continuent !) une fenêtre thérapeutique par rapport à ce travail qui devenait, fin 2018, très dépressif, et finalement laissé en suspend. Alors j’ai pu revenir à la vie dans la lutte collective pour le bien commun, sans cesser d’expérimenter -bien sûr- les formes d’expression utilisées pour transmettre l’expérience : vidéo / montage.
Je reviens, depuis plus d'un an, à ce travail d'autoportrait avec plus de recul, même s'il reste désespéré

Bessy is the quality control inspector at City Bakery and this birthday cake passes inspection.
Before electronics, the most reliable boiler/generator controls were operated by compressed air.
Scattered throughout the country, older power plants are being abandoned for more efficient or sustainable sources of electricity. Some still stand as a tribute to those who sacrificed and worked so hard there to assure the community had reliable energy to power their lives. These views are of a ~50 year old plant closed about 2 years ago.

Playing around with my recently acquired Lensbaby Composer. I thought this was an interesting way to show the focus/bokeh control!
Most of the members of the Model Engineering Club in Detroit MI were machinists, tool and die makers, and engineers who worked in the automotive industry in the area. The Detroit News sponsored the club and one of the requirements was that all members must build their own boats and engines to qualify for competition.
Florent Socall designed and built this unique 30cc, 4-cycle, air-cooled over head valve engine to power his model boats. It has a cast aluminum crankcase, gear box, and head with a machined steel cylinder. It burns gasoline on spark ignition and supports an oil tank for internal lubrication; the rockers and valves must be lubricated manually before operation.
An item of interest is the photographic timer mounted to the crankcase and linked to the carburetor. Releasing a tether boat at full throttle often resulted in cavitation and no speed. Mr. Socall modified the timer to hold the throttle on idle and when he released the boat he simultaneously tripped the timer which steadily increased the throttle from idle to full throttle within 5 seconds, thus preventing the possibility of cavitation.

For these images I shot a roll of Fujifilm Superia 400 through my Pentax P3, then re spooled the film back into my Konica Pop.
The staged, Pentax shots were done to give a clear and focused background image, where as the candid Konica shots were done to add a sense of unorganised chaos to the top image.

Commentary.
Snow-topped peak.
Ragged arêtes radiating along and down to a, now, wooded, former glacial valley.
A corridor to the western seaboard, first reached only five miles west of here, at Loch Duich and Shiel Bridge.
The “Old Road” through the glen used this bridge,
Eas nan-Arm and linked west to east via Glens Shiel, Moriston and Mor (Great Glen).
At this point in the Glen a battle took place in 1719 between
Government Forces and an alliance of Jacobite Rebels and Spanish soldiers.
The former prevailed. The Spanish sided with the Jacobites
because Spain was yet again at war with England at the time.
Under command of a Jacobite, George Keith, a garrison of Spanish soldiers had seized Eilean Donan Castle, nearby.
Subsequently, five Government ships attacked and regained control of Eilean Donan, after considerable cannon damage had been suffered.
The sequence of “Munros” north and south of this glen is mesmerising, culminating in the shapely peaks known as the “Five Sisters of Kintail.”
A “fairy-tale” setting that is absolutely for real.

This is still part of the International Woodworkers Association building. Cat food is left here, perhaps in hopes that it attracts enough cats to keep the resident rodent population under control.

The control room at Methil is awsomely complete. I could have spent hours in here.
Its quite cramped and unfortunalty it was also pitch black inside which makes photos difficult to say the least! It looks kind of plain with the beige panels and they seemed to reflect the light in horrible ways spoiling most of my photos... Its not as nice as Pyestock green or Battersea gold thats for sure but never the less a very interesting place..

Part of the 'stayput' range but this top just keeps the hands out of mishchief. The heavy voluminous triple-layered "Nopeep" hood allows easy breathing but when zipped closed provides a lovely silk lined darkness.
WATERS EAST OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA (March 22, 2017) U.S. Navy and Republic of Korea Navy ships steam in formation during exercise Foal Eagle. The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is on a regularly scheduled Western Pacific deployment as part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet-led initiative to extend the command and control functions of U.S. 3rd Fleet. U.S Navy aircraft carrier strike groups have patrolled the Indo-Asia-Pacific regularly and routinely for more than 70 years. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Z.A.

While wandering around Atlanta prior to Imaging USA, I came across this scene. By themselves, the bollards did not strike me as uncommon; with the accompanying "bollard control signal(s)," however, the scene was a bit more interesting and the varied height of the signals was icing on the cake. Obviously, this throughway (note the bollards in the background) is to be taken very seriously!
