This, is the big bang, the end of reality as it is known and the beginning of something beautiful. An explosion of light and sound to create a new universe, a slur of space dust and dead stars and a celestial glow that halos every head.
This is it.
I am afraid and I am liberated and I am alive and I am awake and at 6 o'clock this morning I remembered what it all meant to me, this is my world, my work, what I create and display, it's my perspective, my mindset, what I see when I open my eyes in the morning,
this is everything.
And I am not scared of showing it to you and I am not going to dwindle away like a dead star, only here because my light left millions of years ago, I will exist in full, like a raging nebula threatening but never reaching the peak of its existence.
I will continue to grow and thrive and be.
And I will change, I swear that I will, always for the better.
Thank you for following on my tail as I soared through space like a comet, smacking meteors and planets on my way to this point in history, meeting my end, another space rock, my end and my beginning.
When I sat in the car with Cody on the way out this morning I said I wasn't sure what to write here, and he said I didn't need to write anything except,
"I'm done."
So here we are, I am a new galaxy, a young mess of planets sprawled out across a deep black,
a metamorphosis.
sooc :)

I'm still discovering old prints in my basement.
OK, what is this? While sitting across from this "mix of stuff" I realized it was an interesting juxtaposition of the old, the new, and some of the tools used. In the foreground an old print of an old friend sits. She happens to be painting her mailbox at the time, and the time was mid 1970's. A b/w 8x10 print I shot on a Minolta SRT102 on Kodak Tri-X film which I had processed and printed in a darkroom I had built in my basement.
Off in the distance, "the new," a new b/w image matted and framed, and awaiting to be wrapped up and given as a gift. That one shot on the Nikon you see on the right.
The tools in the middle, an old Canon 50D, and still very useable, and many of the photos of mine seen here on Flickr were shot with it. Mounted on it is one of Canon's best L lenses, their 24-105, F/4 lens. To the right of that sits our Nikon D850, an absolute joy of a camera, and on it sits our go-to 24-70 F/2.8 Nikon lens.
As I sat and looked at all this I thought it be an interesting time machine of a shot, nothing special maybe, but interesting to me. This shot was done on an iPhone.
Snow scenes.
I'm really excited about these pictures. I saw these markings out in the field all by themselves, with no tracks around them. Weird! What could that have been? My best guess was that a large bird (maybe a Hawk) dropped down out of the sky and got a mouse.
After I got home I searched on images of bird wing prints in the snow and this is what they look like.
Neat!
Looks like in this one, it took several shots for the bird to get the mouse.

Toyo 45G View Camera Fujinion A 240/9. Ilford FP4+ 125 rated at ASA 64. 1/125 sec F16.
Speedlight in softbox with inner baffle removed - full power, camera right. White V-flat on left.
Developed in Ilfosol-3 for 5:30 (N+1.)
Contact printed on Ilford MG Fiber paper with Ilford MG developer. 16 sec exposure with dodging of the orchid petals and burning of the upper right corner (to remove the softbox flap that was in the frame...)
Toned in selenium 1:40 dilution for seven minutes.
The initial versions were very flat and appeared underexposed. After several iterations, I achieved denser negatives by rating the film a full-stop slower, and extending the developing time to lift the whites. I also pulled back on the selenium toning.
After accounting for the bellows factor, I was at F16, which was a more open aperture than I wanted - I was maxed-out on my lighting. I tried to compensate for the shallow DOF by utilizing swing in the front standard to bring the three orchid flowers into focus - I think I achieved partial success...
Overall, I think that I could have used another stop of light. I am still finding it somewhat difficult to account for the print "dry down."
This is all new to me, and I am having a lot of fun. The next step may be to try the silver chloride paper that I recently bought - this will entail a lot of testing, since the paper is much slower than the typical "enlarger" paper that I have been using.
Autumn is here...

“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
― William Wordsworth, I Wander'd Lonely as a Cloud
At the present time it is not so easy to inspire the little ones to read. Luckily, it succeeds again and again. Nice is that our daily newspaper has a special part extra for the kids.
Mono-printed resist and discharge dyed silk - 63cm x 63cm
This is one of several pieces that have been created through a series of processes designed to help me 'get out of my own way' with work aligned more to feelings and moods which arise as marks are made. Spontaneous responses backed up with confident experimentation.
I didn't care too much for this piece in it's earlier stages as the mono-printed ink was heavy and lacked the dynamic textures that had been created on the other pieces, but later, as the work developed, the darkness became a core feature in itself.
As with all abstract work, interpretations are personal to the viewer.
