The Librarian
Archive – Photographs by members of the Kansas City Society for Contemporary Photography – Potter Gallery, Missouri Western State University, October 1-26.
This photograph goes waaay back in my archive. Seventh Grade, 1974 Valley Center Jr. High, Valley Center, Kansas. I would have been 12 or 13, and becoming obsessed by photography. I remember taking this photograph, but when I look at it now, I feel as if I’m somewhat omnisciently looking at another person’s work. I know this photographer, I know where he is going, I understand him.
He shot up a lot of film during this time and the photos are not half bad for a Jr. High kid. But occasionally, he will (I think) just nail one. These images are where my omniscience fails me. Where did this come from? Did he get this one because he was always hammering away and got lucky? Was he actually paying attention as he idly flipped through the art books in the library? This is where I lose the connection and make the connection. Today, I have a much better idea of what’s going on with my work, but the occasional “where did this come from???” still happens.

The Hanging
It’s a strange feeling to watch people line out your work on tables while they talk about how it will be grouped and sequenced on the gallery walls.

Using Paper Negatives
Lee Decker came home for the traditional Thanksgiving MST3K Marathon. Before he could get away, I managed to get a couple photographs of him with the old 8×10 camera using a paper negative instead of film.

Shooting With Film and Digital Side by Side
Side by side windowlight portraits done with a Nikon D800 Digital camera and a Nikon F2 Film camera. I’ll be posting a number of these and I’m not going to say which is which. The film is Kodak Portra 160. The lens is a Nikon 105mm f/1.4 shot wide open. This isn’t meant to be rigorous comparison or even a film vs digital. It’s just something I did for fun.
