You must have tons of pics we haven't seen.
Love this one and the post below.
You'll get another cam soon.


My cell died. We're in the same boat right now. I have to take it as a challenge.

Keep posting. :)

Nice one, as always.

jozee: not tons, but mabye a few hundred. however, i would not inflict all of these on webpix. i will try to keep getting images to webpix to a standard that i think it [all of you] deserves.

thank you, madam.

oh no. you do have backup cells do you not?

heather: are you sure you want it back? [thank you]


judith: it was shot, as i always shoot, in color. even when i see something in B+W i do not use the in camera effects. retaining color allows me to make better b+W conversions and provides documentation of the actual state of the stage.

the b+w conversion in this case was surely not arbitrary though. doing so integrated the scene in a way that was apt for the subject.

brock: thank you. note, too, the frames here and my fetish for them.

[here i have cut and paste some old babble:]
look! it is art* !
something hanging up
which is framed!
i suppose this piece is the perfect example
of how art kind of disintegrates for me.
how can one distinguish this
from a painting hanging at the gallery?
how does one do it?
i try and
i cannot.
this means i
feel surrounded
by art at all times.

so when someone tries to
single something out,
a photo i might have taken
or a drawing, i am itchy
at there insistence that
THIS is art. i think:
well maybe MAYBE but
NOT
if you seek to
make some kind of
distinction.

There is obviously an irony here.
these strange pieces, this one here
of the shirt, seems to be aesthetically
pleasing somehow. but what i wish to
emphasize is NOT the image at all. No.
What i wish to emphasize is the
scene itself. That which i saw. These pieces are my attempt at pointing out the frames that exist outside of what one conventionally refers to as art.

Yes, I want it back, and thanks for hang-drying it for me. You know I don't like when the dryer shrinks up my shirts, turning them into half-shirts...not heather's style.

nor are half shirts my style.
[pauses for the horrifying image my words just conjured]
heh.

oh i see now why the tiny man moving the gears of the machine forced my body to shoot this so darkened. this way the dark shirt resembles a keyhole..
perfect!

hypothetically speaking...if one were to want your opinion on a photo...how would this ONE get a photo to you?

BTW, I ...uhh, I did not have drinks without you at 3, however-I am here and ready to rock and roll whenever-I pulled u up to show the husband how damn-cute you are...this is another site I may not be able to find again.

I just imagined you in a half shirt and got quite a giggle out of that.
