“I think good dreaming is what leads to good photographs.” Wayne Miller Today we had no shortage of dreamers starting with the picture above by Jim Staub. Jim discovered that images on media don't last forever esp when they're on old outdated film / negatives. The dreaming part in Jim's case was the realization that something good cam emerge from these old negatives that have otherwise turned to vinegar. Jim presented image he shot at night many years ago and beside each oneis what they have become with age. Jim entitled them "States of Existence" The first set is a frisbee net original on right and now on left The next set is of a "float fence"...original on right...now is on left The last set is a "Stucco Box" the original on the left...the now on the right Steve in his travels shot several images in Charleston WVA...some of which pointed out archetextual columns and several below of the city itself. We were lucky to have Jenna (Steve's daughter) with us today visiting from Detroit. Bill showed several images shot in Big Sur at the Henry Miller Library...entitled "The Wedding and Guests" Cyndi showed images shot with a borrowed macro lens and enjoyed her new found perspective Finally, Bill had opportunity to attend a group show at Mor York Gallery in which Sidne Hart (Kevin's wife) showed her art fabrics .Sidne allowed Bill to shoot several pieces and he converted the images to a set of composites below. Mor York Gallery is always a source of interesting visual collages. Bill could not resist the collage of things visualized below John made a last minute contribution image created through his iPhone We mentioned briefly the NY Times continuing commitment to photo-journalism...we should support their effort. Joe sent a link about their photo essay on Willet's Point a section of NYC. Here is the link
