Image transfer on watercolor paper done using Citrasolv cleaner. It's very addictive making these little transfers.

I’m a registered nurse.
In 2009 I had to go to Texas to be with my father who had been admitted to one or our nations ‘esteemed’ health care facilities. It was not a nursing home, this was a hospital. He died eventually, having never been able to get the hell away from the hospital. I could only enforce handwashing so many times by his nurses and CNA’s that worked with him. He was immunocompromised from his medicines and they were lazy. (honestly, I know the difference between lazy and busy-keep in mind that I’m a nurse). They finally gave him an infection that killed him. That was the final cause of death, but also listed on the death certificate was malnutrition. I took this and wrote it back then, but it seems like the whole episode should be revisited from time to time.
Feel free to check out the set ‘Goodbye America’ as well as the set about Texas. The whole dying process was recorded there in Texas-as well as some attempts (bad ones) of mine to get some artistic shots…couldn’t focus on them very well...
My father couldn’t use his right arm due to a previous fracture (created when they removed the tumor that had been in the bone for 5 years and had gone undiagnosed-the doctor never looked at the xrays he had ordered)
He could not sit up without assistance due to weakness and malnutrition. See where this table is in relationship to where he is? His meal is on that table.
Probably a good thing because at least 12 times during my time in Texas they served him food that is forbidden for dialysis patients (yes, food that could have killed him). Everyone including the case manager and charge nurse just giggled when I asked them ‘WHY?’ They rolled their eyes and said, ‘Oh, we go around and around with dietary all the time’. I said again, “Why?” They had no answer. Attempts to go up the chain of command in the hospital were equally as futile and infuriating.
I wondered when I initially got to Texas how he gotten so skinny…I wondered why he was so weak. He wasn’t in the hospital that long before I got there and he was able care for himself completely prior to admission. I wondered why the nurses hadn’t told me he was back on dialysis in my frequent phone converations with them. I wondered why they had failed to mention that he was curled in a fetal position covered with scabies and non verbal…(this was the state I found him in when I arrived-at the time of the above photo he had improved slightly and I had treated him myself several times for the scabies)
Also on that table: his dentures, glasses, and phone and call light. (about two weeks later they completely lost his dentures and said it was ‘impossible’ to have a dentist come fit him and make a new pair. They also lost his glasses and hearing aids.)
How long before you would go crazy? How long before you’d die? How long would you be able to fight for yourself despite being ill and trying to ‘heal'? Why should I feel terrible because I couldn’t stay at the hospital 24-7? Aren’t they responsible for ANYTHING? (Actually they forced me to leave during the night times.)
He had great insurance. His bills are paid. And there were a LOT of them. Staggering amounts of money were thrown into this miserable team of idiots that was meant to help him improve. Healthcare has officially now become wealthcare.
I will never have anything elective done in this country. I will go overseas again and again. (I had a hip replacement a year after my father died-in India…and I had an amazingly good outcome AND experience and it cost less than a fifth of what they would have tried to bill me here in this ‘land of the free’.)
If I ever end up a victim of health care, I hope to die quickly before they can steal my dignity and slowly and inhumanely snuff out MY fire.

Finally i am finished with this painting. the heat had me movin slow so it took longer then expected to finished this piece but here it is, hot off the easel. Now its waiting to dry so that i can sign it and apply varnish to it. Once i am all done with that i will take up-close, high quality detail pictures of it.
...with this painting i documented my creation process step by step and put it into a set.
I wrote a blog chronicalling the creative process with this painting from the first rough sketch to the last brush stroke. read about it here: lucidrose.blogspot.com/
New camera...new software...new birds for spring! So many ways to work with a picture to try capturing the emotion of the moment. Challenging with trying to learn everything at once. I have yet to be satisfied with my results....but practice makes perfect and I have no problem with practicing :)
this is my first successful kallitype print. it was my third or fourth attempt, and i was getting frustrated. but i've switched printers, switched paper, switched developer and processing formulas, and finally got it working!
at first i thought this was going to be another bust, because my test strips were turning out wrong. i'd been using the sun for my cyanotype and previous kallitype experiments, but the sun wasn't cooperating yesterday...even in southern california, we sometimes get clouds. but i'd bought a blacklight at a garage sale a few weeks ago, for the purpose of processing prints at night. well it works...but it took over two hours to expose this print properly! by the time i'd gotten it down, it was late last night...i set my alarm for 1am, woke up and developed the print, then back to bed.
print is 7.25 x 7.25 inches (18.4 cm), on Rising Stonehenge paper. Ilford FP4+ film (120 format), taken with Zeiss Ikon Nettar camera. since this was basically a test, i didn't tone the print.
prints available here.
Working on a new music video project. It is probably going to change a bit over the next couple weeks so I want to keep an eye on the screen grabs that I like. I plan on showing it at FiTC on April 22nd. I will write a post about it after the project gets a little closer to completion.
Again, the main point of interest is that there will be no post-production. The entire thing is code driven. Every beat is manually input like in the Solar (Goldfrapp) video I posted a couple weeks back. Every single high-hat hit, every snare, every bass, the vocals, the guitar arpeggio... all of it was manually input. Took about 6 hours to input the data for the whole 5 minutes and 15 seconds of song. Maybe when musicians start releasing multiple tracks per song with isolated instruments, things will get a lot easier.

Week #2 Square and Processing
Examples of different processing results. Depending on your experience, these can be done manually or with reset actions in image processing software (I use Photoshop).
(top left) Cross processing uses layers, contrast and variations in color balance to give a "yellowish green" hue to the image. You can do it manually, but Photoshop has an action (macro) that is simple and quick. I've used it on anything from landscapes to portraits in the past.
(bottom left) High Dynamic Range was processed using Photomatrix, a popular and proven application available online. Some cameras have in-built HDR options. Again, it can be used on a wide range of images and the intensity can be dialed up or down. Some HDR images are quite stunning but processing can also be over cooked (an HDR term!). Flickr is full with different results and it's up to personal taste what you prefer.
(top right) Black and white/Mono can be achieved by using fast and easy single click "GreyScale" or you can manipulate the histogram to isolate color bands and keep tighter control over the result. Curves can be also applied to control contrast.
(bottom right) Orton processing is a controlled blurring or softening of the image achieved by combining 3 layers in Photoshop. Again, it comes to personal taste to apply Orton to images. It can be applied over the whole image or used to soften different areas.
Enjoy...and good luck with your processing.
