If you are a person who likes to be the center of attention, I have two suggestions when getting photographed: (1) do not pose with a young child, and (2) do not pose with a cute dog. I guarantee that either of these two will blow you off and steal your show. Hence I may be making a big mistake in composing the picture above.
Nina Leen shot this fawn-and-white whippet in 1964. The dog became a superstar in Great Britain. To my eyes, the photo has that classic portrait feel that I thought would be a cool background for my classic Mamiya-6. Initially the vertical photo above was going to be my tribute to the Mamiya-6 but I ended using Bill Beall's Busted as a background photo just because it looked better on screen. www.flickr.com/photos/juznobsrvr/16039560356/
In doing Icons behind the Lens series, I realized that the horizontal or landscape format worked better when displayed on the screen of a computer. My dilemma is that horizontal formats do not work well in books as opposed to vertical or portrait format. I'm still trying to figure out a way for the audience to appreciate looking at photos in both a book form and the web. Sometimes, the square format is the compromising solution. But this would mean cropping the picture since I'm using an SLR with a 2x3 format. I think that would be a waste of pixels.

My friend Linda, a visual artist, had just gotten a new apartment and we hadn't met in a while so it was the perfect opportunity to do a little photo session.

Best half a dollar I ever spent today. Yea, today... I'm wondering what it was that got me through. The phone hasn't rung for a long time now. When is she going to call? Forget it. Who am I fooling? It's been a week. No, it's longer than that. I could use another drink.

Just before Russell made his way back to the Cecil Hotel, he double checked his note to make sure he'd crossed his t's and dotted his i's. It was then he'd notice there were no t's or i's in "goodbye cruel world." He replaced the note with a ticket and returned to the Cecil. To this day he sits near the dusty black dial phone and awaits her call.

Folklore?
Think of it. What would your definition be? Jean-François offers an interesting one.
Here’s how I met him.
After the first show I saw at the Mémoire and racines festival, I noted some people I crossed around the grounds were wearing black caps with the word Folklore embroidered in white. I was a bit perplexed – was this some branded souvenir of the festival?
After I had lunch, I brought my tray to the recycling station. There was a young woman stationed behind the bins explaining the procedures. The festival goes a lot long way to be green: virtually everything on my tray went into the compost bin including the plates and cutlery that was made of biodegradable cereal based material. She happened to have one of these caps on her head. I noticed there was a number written above Folklore and asked her what the concept was. She pointed to a table being me and said “Go see Jean-François, the man with the small suitcase. He’ll tell you all about them and can sell you one too.”
Jean-François told me that all he initially wanted to do was find a cool cap. He looked around but could not resolve to buy one simply because he liked the logo or the color if he knew nothing about the brand. He decided to have one made to his liking. Being at once a set caller, a dancer and a visual artist, he thought the word folklore needed a boost more badly than the word art as it is often used in a depreciative way today. I checked in some on-line dictionaries and always found both negative and objective descriptions. This one’s from Merriam-Webster: “An often unsupported notion, story, or saying that is widely circulated”.
His personal description is that Folklore is a name for “The science of the people”. It is not tied to a single culture and is alive and evolving. This conception of the phenomenon is reflected in both is set calling and visual art practices.
When he showed-up with his new headgear at the festival a couple of years ago, he was immediately asked, the same way I did, what the caps stood for. People wanted to wear them once they had heard his explanation. He initially simply sold them at the same cost he had paid for his first one but has since managed to get some quantity discounts. He now sells them in 4 models. Each is individually numbered. He currently has about 800 sold and is well known at the festival as a performer and as the man with the Folklore caps.
I bought one too in appreciation of his efforts to promote folk culture. I then shot his portrait in the middle of the grounds with the tent named “Danse danse” in the background. It houses the workshops and the traditional dance evenings.
I’m sure Jean-François must have spent a lot more time promoting his notion of living heritage over the week-end.
If you can handle a bit of French, go to his caller web site. If you click “documentaire” you’ll hear him explain he wanted to do break dancing when he was young but now would not change place with Céline Dion when he’s on a traditional music stage. calleur.ca/
Folklore?
Pensez-y. Quelle en serait votre définition? Cet homme en offre une intéressante.
Voici comment je l'ai rencontré.
Après le premier spectacle que j’ai vu au Festival Mémoire et racines, j’ai noté que certaines personnes que je croisais sur le terrain portaient des casquettes noires avec le mot Folklore brodé en blanc. J'étais un peu perplexe - était-ce une marque de souvenir du festival?
Après avoir fini mon lunch, j’ai apporté mon plateau au poste de recyclage. Il y avait une jeune femme expliquant les procédures postée derrière les bacs. Le festival fait un effort pour être vert: presque tout sur mon plateau est allé dans le bac à compost, y compris les assiettes et les couverts qui étaient faits d’une matière biodégradable à base de céréales. Elle aussi avait une de ces casquettes sur la tête. J’ai alors remarqué qu'il y avait un numéro écrit au-dessus de Folklore et lui ai demandé quel était le concept. Elle désigna simplement une table derrière moi et me dit "Allez voir Jean-François, l’homme avec la petite valise. Il vous racontera tout sur les casquettes et pourra aussi vous en vendre une ».
Jean-François m'a expliqué que tout ce qu'il souhaitait initialement faire était de se trouver une casquette cool. Il en chercha une un moment mais ne pouvait pas se résoudre à en acheter une simplement parce qu'il en aimait le logo ou la couleur s'il ne savait rien au sujet de la marque. Il a donc décidé de s’en faire fabriquer une à son goût. Étant à la fois un calleur de set-carrés, un danseur et un artiste visuel, il considérait que le mot folklore avait beaucoup plus besoin d'un coup de pouce que le mot art, étant souvent utilisé de manière dépréciative aujourd'hui. J’ai regardé dans quelques dictionnaires en ligne. J’y ai toujours trouvé à la fois des descriptions négatives et positives. J’ai par exemple relevé dans linternaute.com « Fait pittoresque mais qui n'est pas sérieux. »
Sa description personnelle est que le folklore est le nom de «la science du peuple". Le mot n’est pas lié à une culture unique et reflète des phénomènes vivants et en constante évolution. Cette conception se reflète à la fois dans ces activité de calleur et en art visuel.
Quand, il y a quelques années, il s’est pointé au festival avec son nouveau couvre-chef, des gens lui ont immédiatement demandé, de la même façon que je l'ai fait, ce que sa casquette représentait. Ils voulaient en porter une aussi lorsqu'ils avaient entendu son point de vue. Il en a d'abord vendu quelques-unes au même prix qu'il avait payé pour sa première. Depuis, il a réussi à obtenir des rabais de quantité et il en vend maintenant en 4 modèles. Chacune est numérotée individuellement. Il en a vendu environ 800 à date et est bien connu au festival à la fois comme performeur et comme l'homme aux casquettes Folklore.
Je lui en ai moi aussi acheté une aussi en soutien à par solidarité avec ses efforts pour promouvoir la culture populaire. J’ai ensuite fait son portrait au milieu du terrain avec la tente appelée "Danse danse" en arrière-plan. Elle abrite les ateliers et les soirées de danse traditionnelle.
Je suis sûr que Jean-François a dû passer beaucoup plus de temps à discuter de sa notion de patrimoine vivant pendant toute la fin de semaine.
Vous pouvez vous rendre à son site Web de Calleur. Cliquez sur "documentaire" et vous l’entendrez expliquer qu'il voulait faire du break dancing quand il était jeune, mais maintenant ne souhaiterait pas changer de place avec Céline Dion quand il est sur une scène de musique traditionnelle.
