Every so often I get the urge to return back to my origins in photography, which also means returning to the work of William Eggleston, someone I greatly admire and whose work is difficult to imitate.
Designing a homage for this great photographer is not easy either, so can we do it together?
If you draw an imaginary centerline either vertically or horizontally through many of his photographs, chances are you'd find elements that cause tension along these centerlines, either pushing or pulling the viewer in /out of the frame. It is a long these centerlines that you find yourself in a kind of vertiginous state. Critics have called it kind of terrifying place but it simply is tension caused by the push and pull--- a familiar concept in the field of painting, which Eggleston spent his college years studying.
It is within these tension-filled areas that one also chances upon a haiku moment. In this respect I find that Eggleston communicates most effectively onto the photographic print the most intimate of viewfinder moments.
His photographs are gems of this particular aspect.
So why is it so hard to imitate? I think one reason is that it can be difficult to find an Eggleston moment without resorting to using a long lens which has its own characteristics. Eggleston however skillfully uses close to a 50mm prime lens. This is like Tiger Woods driving with a No. 2 iron, not a very forgiving choice indeed.
And should you have the good fortune to find an Eggleston moment in your viewfinder, then you have to contend with the fact that he also factors in color, further complicating and compacting his composition.
I find traces of his style resonant in Vivian Maier and Gary Winogrand, although Eggleston is not as obsessive; he chooses to print. For this sole reason, I chose not to fit his homage with a viewfinder experience, which I would do without hesitation for the other two photographers.
For unexplained reasons I find him to be photographically related to the writer Ernest Hemingway. Perhaps it is a certain style that's difficult to imitate and yet also a style with a certain kind of straightforwardness, simplicity and purity.
My design: a black leather alligator valise containing a horse racing set for its vintage pleasures and charm.
Inside the miniature horses are driven by a Victrola-like mechanism. A silver flask of bourbon and race forms are provided. On the side of the enclosure is a small chute-like metal ashtray and a hidden drawer of cigarettes.

La Maison et Musée d’Ernest Hemingway à Key West :
Ernest Hemingway a débarqué à Key West (au printemps 1928) avec sa deuxième femme Pauline, sur les conseils de John Dos Passos, autre membre de ce que l'on a appelé la "Génération perdue" (artistes et écrivains américains expatriés à Paris dans les années 1920). En déambulant dans les rues, on peut presque imaginer le style de vie de ce monstre sacré dans les années 1930, du temps d’un autre Key West, celui des parties de pêche, de la prohibition, des cargaisons pirates pour Cuba et de la tempête du siècle de 1935.
Après deux saisons passées à Key West, l’oncle de Pauline acheta, pour le jeune couple, la maison de Whitehead Street, pour 8000 dollars en 1931. La maison en pierre, de style franco-espagnol en vogue à la Nouvelle-Orléans, a été construite en 1851 par Asa Tift (architecte dans la marine et chasseur de trésors dans les épaves). Le domaine étant le deuxième point de sol le plus élevé de l'île de Key West, le calcaire à partir duquel la maison est construite a été excavé directement du sol sous la structure et taillé à la main, grâce à une main-d’œuvre constituée d’esclaves. L'électricité a été ajoutée vers 1899 et la plomberie vers 1944, lorsque Key West a reçu l'eau courante de Florida City. Avant cela, il fallait utiliser l'eau de pluie collectée dans deux réservoirs, l'un entre la maison principale et la remise et l'autre sur le toit de la maison principale.
La villa est à étage et entourée de balcons, avec des portes-fenêtres et de grands volets. La maison de Key West est composée de peu de pièces (mais relativement grandes). A l'abandon depuis 1889 le couple entrepris de grandes rénovations. Les Hemingway l'ont décorée de meubles venus d'Europe (notamment des antiquités espagnoles du XVIIIe siècle), de trophées rapportés de leurs safaris en Afrique ou de leurs parties de chasse dans l'Ouest américain. La collection de lustres a remplacé tous les anciens ventilateurs de plafond. Comme Ernest était également amateur d'art, vous pouvez voir une vue de l'église Saint-Paul peinte par l'artiste local Eugene Otto (sur le mur du fond du salon) et une grande lithographie montre Gregorio Fuentes (cuisinier et compagnon sur le bateau de pêche de Papa Pilar pendant plus de 20 ans). Dans la pièce en face du salon, il y a une chaise Cardinal en cuir rouge (près de la porte) qui aurait été utilisé comme accessoire dans la production de Broadway de La cinquième colonne. Dans cette atmosphère si particulière, un air de « Belle époque » plane dans l’air. Pour les fans de l’écrivain, on retrouve son fauteuil fétiche, d’anciennes photos personnelles de ses voyages autour du globe, et bien sûr sa machine à écrire Royal.
Ernest Hemingway landed in Key West (in the spring of 1928) with his second wife Pauline, on the advice of John Dos Passos, another member of the so-called "Lost Generation" (American artists and writers expatriated in Paris in the 1920s). Walking through the streets, you can almost imagine the lifestyle of this sacred monster in the 1930s, in the days of another Key West, that of fishing trips, prohibition, pirate cargo for Cuba and the storm of the century of 1935.
After two seasons in Key West, Pauline's uncle bought the Whitehead Street house for the young couple for $ 8,000 in 1931. The French-Spanish stone house in vogue in New Orleans, was built in 1851 by Asa Tift (architect in the navy and treasure hunter in wrecks). The estate being the second highest point of soil on the island of Key West, the limestone from which the house is built was excavated directly from the ground under the structure and cut by hand, using a hand work made up of slaves. Electricity was added around 1899 and plumbing around 1944, when Key West received running water from Florida City. Before that, rainwater collected in two tanks had to be used, one between the main house and the shed and the other on the roof of the main house.
The villa is upstairs and surrounded by balconies, with patio doors and large shutters. The house in Key West is made up of few rooms (but relatively large). Abandoned since 1889, the couple undertook major renovations. The Hemingways decorated it with furniture from Europe (notably Spanish antiquities from the 18th century), trophies brought back from their safaris in Africa or from their hunting trips in the American West. The chandelier collection has replaced all the old ceiling fans. As Ernest was also an art lover, you can see a view of the Saint Paul Church painted by local artist Eugene Otto (on the back wall of the living room) and a large lithograph shows Gregorio Fuentes (cook and companion on Papa Pilar's fishing boat for more than 20 years). In the room opposite the living room, there is a Cardinal chair in red leather (near the door) which would have been used as an accessory in the Broadway production of The Fifth Column. In this very special atmosphere, an air of "Belle Epoque" hangs in the air. For fans of the writer, there is his favorite chair, old personal photos from his travels around the globe, and of course his Royal typewriter.
Finca Vigía was the home of Ernest Hemingway in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba, and now houses a museum.
Hemingway lived in the house from mid 1939 to 1960, renting it at first, and then buying it in December 1940 after he married his third wife Martha Gellhorn. Hemingway paid $12,500 for the property. The property was located for Hemingway by Gellhorn, who had come to Cuba to be with Hemingway but decided she did not want to live in the small room he rented at the Hotel Ambos Mundos. The Finca at the time consisted of 15 acres (61,000 m2) with a farmhouse.
It was at Finca Vigía that he wrote much of For Whom the Bell Tolls (a novel of the Spanish Civil War which Hemingway had covered as a journalist with Gellhorn in the late 1930s—the novel was started at the Ambos Mundos, and some was also written in Idaho). Hemingway would later buy the property out of some of the first royalties from the book, published in 1940.
When Hemingway and Gellhorn were divorced in 1945, Hemingway kept Finca Vigia and lived there during the winters with his last wife, Mary Welsh Hemingway.
At the Finca, Hemingway also wrote The Old Man and the Sea (1951) about a fisherman who worked the waters off Havana.

On March 20, 2006, seven years ago yesterday, I posted my first piece on flickr. I still remember the frustration and rejection because my "photo" was not an actual photograph, but a shot of some art work! Thank goodness they've loosened up about that! At the time I couldn't understand why they were touting groups, some of which contained specific art, but for some reason I was hauled off to the penalty box for awhile until it got all straightened out.
I'm working on an item which I may submit to a quilting magazine with a "lettering" theme. I love going into my archives and giving new life to old images. This typewriter was created by my husband for our website and remains there to this day. However I have altered it here and am not sure how it is going to end up on my final piece. Stay tuned . . . and thanks for your patience in waiting for me to reply and visit. I won't make the deadline if I don't stay focused.
Today I thought I had broken my machine when I tried to do some embroidery with the wrong pressure foot . . . oops . . .
“There is nothing to writing.
All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”

Well, I'm not "bleeding" from typing, but I have pricked my finger a number of times
on sewing needles!

This is the City Park Grill in Petoskey, Michigan, which Ernest Hemingway frequented in the 1920's when his family had a summer home on nearby Walloon Lake. His "Nick Adams" stories were set in northwestern Michigan and he may have come up with plots while bellying up to this bar.

48. The skiff was shaking with the destruction the other shark was doing to the fish, and the Old Man let go the sheet so that the skiff would swing broadside and bring the shark out from under. When he saw the shark he leaned over the side and punched at him.
Rue du Cardinal-Lemoine. From January 1922 to August 1923 Ernest Hemingway lived here, at number 74, with his wife, Hadley, and son, nicknamed Bumby.
Rue de l'Odéon. This is where Sylvia Beach’s famous bookshop and lending library, Shakespeare and Company, was located. Many ex-pat writers (the Lost Generation), including Ernest Hemingway, frequented here. It was also here that Beach published James Joyce’s controversial book, “Ulysses.” Unfortunately, now it is just boring………..to think of the history that was once there!
One of a "side" trips in Florida - Key West and Hemingway's House. Very interesting museum plus a part of James Bond's :"Licence to Kill" movie from 1989. Picture taken in April 2006.
This was taken at the finals of the Ernest "Papa" Hemingway lookalike contest at Sloppy Joe's Bar in Key West. The Papa in the center, Tom Grizzard, was the 2008 winner. This was a tough shot because I couldn't get near the stage, and the bar was standing room only, so my view was blocked by a throng of people. So I put my camera on a tripod (a GorillaPod), set the self-timer, pressed the shutter button and held up the tripod as high as I could, and hoped that nobody bumped into me as the shutter clicked. Whew! I used a Canon S1 IS point-and-shoot, which has a tilting LCD panel, so I could see what I was aiming at.

The Sun Also Rises in Katherine! Of course in my Naturalist Travels I am sometimes - how could it be otherwise for an historian of idea - overcome by Dark Contemplations about the relative worth of Nature and Culture.
Idyllic Nature, a Natural Paradise? here in Katherine where the river literally swarms with crocodiles? where sweet, horticulturalist plants are not in evidence except in people's yards? I walk in really Rough Nature and there's even rougher further 'out'. The kind of nature that has terrible floods like the one that swept away much of Katherine in the wake - literally - of Cyclone Les in 1998. But here 'culture', too, has wreaked havoc. One look on the streets - or better maybe 'roads' because this place is more of a 'township' than a town - of Katherine will show the utter devastation of the Jawogon and Dagomen native peoples due to "western" proclivities. Another look will bring back memories of the British shipping out the dregs of civilisation to this colony in thet nineteenth century..
No, I can't say I come down on Ernest Hemingway's side in his The Sun Also Rises (1926). Nature is no 'pastoral paradise'; neither has city life or 'culture' much redemption.
The hearts and measured actions of people, maybe?
Whatever... I was spellbound this morning by this magnificient Sunrise.
Look at the nature of this Sunset and you can also see the culture of modern electricity and telecommunications...

39. The Old Man felt faint and sick and he could not see well. But he cleared the harpoon line and let it run slowly through his raw hands and, when he could see, he saw the fish was on his back with his silver belly up. The shaft of the harpoon was projecting at an angle from the fish’s shoulder and the sea was discolouring with the red of the blood from his heart.

36. The fish was coming in on his circle now calm and beautiful looking and only his great tail moving. The Old Man pulled on him all that he could to bring him closer. For just a moment the fish turned a little on his side. Then he straightened himself and began another circle.

Finca Vigia is located in the small, working-class town of San Francisco de Paula. The Cuban people have always respected famous writer's choice to live in a modest town, amongst the people he fished with.
Built in 1886 by a Spanish Architect Miguel Pascual y Baguer, Finca Vigia was purchased by Hemingway in 1940 for a cost of $12,500.
There, Hemingway wrote two of his most celebrated novels: For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea. A Movable Feast was written there as well.

At the Finca, Hemingway also wrote The Old Man and the Sea (1951) about a fisherman who worked the waters off Havana.
