^^Ward ! if that was a dream, to dream of dead mice means you will overcome you present worries and misfortune. Avoid people whom you think will pull you down. Be resourceful and always think that life will always depend on how you make it. [c/o googlage] ...perhaps this applies to waking life, too ;) or: get a kitty and keep ur nike souls up high while ya sleeps. sry, these are prolly all repeats,, idk.

oh. whats that sound.....ccchhoke.

'master' (arguably): Robert Doisneau (April 14, 1912, Gentilly, Val-de-Marne – April 1, 1994[1]) was a French photographer. In the 1930s he used a Leica on the streets of Paris; together with Henri Cartier-Bresson he was a pioneer of photojournalism. official portfolio: http://www.robert-doisneau.com/fr/portfolio/

^eff yea ! what a fuckin gritty experience. you're right, even i didn't realize all that went down on the les,,, holy fuck. sometimes i feel so strange viewing so much of crazy history like that on the interwebs...its crazy but cool that we get to see it all documented in our nested, compressed digital worlds, browsers of decades of footage, lol, even if we weren't around yet to experience it... man! of course i know lots what about went down there in the 50s, etc. but not so much later except for perhaps filmmakers/artists/kids work that came out of there/influenced by the poverty/grime/apathy/ennui/chaos of the 70s/80s being there (jarmusch, lurie, basquiat, etc.,...im sure youve seen 'downtown 81'....)), mustve been so frenetic and insane,,, while the living conditions were horrid, theres certainly some kind of magic that occurred creatively, no doubt. i love how he says 'like being in an aquarium' i always feel like im underwater wandering cities with a camera....weird. ,,,,the self-portrait through the cracked glass = fucking phenomenal. christ. sweet dude on the medium 4mat landscapes ! since youre in australia, i imagine youve some pretty fantastic views! i know what you mean....dobrowner's stuff is so mesmerizing,,, i could get lost for hours listening to music and going thru all of his work. i feel like after staring @ his images ive been somwhere amazing,,,, haha. im lame & a sap. i knoes ;) are you gonna post your work on one of other threads? ...if so, cant wait to see how they turn out!

well shit. aires lookin sweet

heya da1ly, woa, totally didnt know about that girl from silence of the lambs. crazy! that mustve been insane to be in nyc during that time!! holy crap. yea, i love just about any era photos documenting nyc (other cities as well), especially different histories of evolving scenes in b&w. there used to be a hardcorish scene when i was in hs, i sorta new people and it was meshed in with rave kids,,, i wasnt so into it musically, tho,, but it was the like 3/4/5th 'local' gen recycled version,,, def not the blag flag era, heh. i wasnt even a fetus then ;) i can do the 5 pic thing,,,more is cool too, whatevs u likes.. mayor, ur selection is sweet ! harvey's are beautiful and airy and the textures, mood, and colors are really wonderful and natural and fresh. youre right, a beautiful life indeed. mustve been some adventure! yesss to cartier-bresson, sir! yay for the man with the balloons. i likes. ive a framed print/poster of his: la Rotonde, france 1970. daily inspiration. this one: oh, if we wanted to do some more of the 'masters', doisneau could be next,,, pretty well-known one, still great romantic classic, 'the kiss at the hotel de ville' is one of my favs. and cheers to severin ! i didnt even see who it was and i immediately recognized the one through the glass that looks like kafka/artaud! haha! i used to have a couple of accounts on an old art/lit sharing forum/community online thingy where he was in his earlier years (pre-army i think). i just had a look recently @ his website/new work-- he's improved so much! incredible! small, tiny internet world as well. o mans.

allo. thread = awesome rainyday work distraction,,,woo-ness. Mitch Dobrowner grew up in Bethpage on Long Island, NY. Worried about his son's lack of direction, his father got him an old Argus rangefinder camera to "fool around with. Dobrowner was hooked. He found the images of Ansel Adams and Minor White to be mesmerizing. He quit his job, left home and moved to the Southwest to be near the landscapes that he found so dear. But life got in the way for a while, after he married and had three children. He and his wife set up a design studio and he stopped taking pictures. Twenty years later, inspired by his wife and kids, he picked up the camera again and began photographing his Southwest surroundings. The artist describes his subject and his response to it this way: "The Earth is an ever changing eco-system. It's existed well before we were here and will hopefully be here well beyond the time we leave it. It's real, at times beautifully surreal, powerfully haunting and alive, all at the same time." "While photographing, the world gets quiet around me. Things seem simple again, and I obtain a respect and reverence for the world that is hard to communicate through words. I get into a 'zone' where time and space seem hard for me to measure. For me those moments are a combination of the exterior environment and my own interior state. Hopefully the images presented help communicate what I visualize during those times." ^^^^mono lake, ca...where scientists found arsenic based life.. so. haunting indeed. dobrowner is amazing. of course seein ansel adams in his work. so breathtaking & powerful & stunning & so many gorgeous tones, theres bunch more: http://www.contemporaryworks.net/artists/artist_imgs.php/1/6597/5 enjoy!

'nother... Sally Mann: Sally Mann was born in 1951 in Lexington, Virginia, where she continues to live and work. She received a BA from Hollins College in 1974, and an MA in writing from the same school in 1975. Her early series of photographs of her three children and husband resulted in a series called “Immediate Family.” In her recent series of landscapes of Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia, and Georgia, Mann has stated that she "wanted to go right into the heart of the deep dark South." Using damaged lenses and a camera that requires the artist to use her hand as a shutter, these photographs are marked by the scratches, light leaks, and shifts in focus that were part of the photographic process as it developed during the 19th century. ^so she is truly one of my favorite photographers... her work, even her stuff of children, is slightly disturbing in a not-so-typical way, imo, and certainly a sort of dark vitalist vein pulsating and creeping thru.... like the inextricable link between and reminder of life becoming death,decay...etc. each piece is like a painting with light/still images,,,

^hey, yea, i was gonna write i welled up a bit, knot/chicken bone in throat feelin, but then i was like, damn girl,, you're such a chick, heh. seriously tho, extremely moving photo essay...especially that last part w/ the text. its a funny thing how simple words+ images can create such affects. i dont know how padilla did it tho, working so intimately over such a long duration of time with a person and their life... i might grow to care too much and would be devastated how things turned out. ok. this is Markus Hartel (from the website) fine art street photography by Markus Hartel, New York Born in Germany, I developed my love for photography when I was a kid. My grandma used to give me her rangefinder camera to take family pictures [...] Coming to New York City in 2003 was a great inspiration and I started documenting every day people in the urban jungle with my camera – I would roam the streets for hours, longing for the next great photograph. ^i like how his work is sorta casual, ordinary moments...but when caught on film,,, seems magical. makes it seem almost like it's virtually impossible to frame a poor composition in nyc. its such a visually alive and rich city,, i might be goin there soon to visit my brother. hopefully ill have enough $$ before i leave to get a new camera(well, it's that or shoes ;) )

thats terribly heartbreaking. :( and thats way too young to go... theyve been one of my favorite groups since they began. youre right, their sound was really breaching into new terrain,,, damn. rest in peace gerard.

i just went thru padilla's 'the julie project' from the intro to end, again... absolutely extraordinary set,,, i feel like i just watched one of those films that leaves you with a strange & uneasy sense for days,,,crazyy.

^:( that is terrifying and terrible. really sad to hear... 'no sign of nato'... the information age makes some things so bizarre... your last words can be a tweet. thats amazing hetherington was in tumultuous regions of afghanistan, west africa, and now was in libya. utterly fearless.

hey da1lyoperations, glad u likes maciej duczynski :) i shoulda warned you that i posted most of her b&w collection... the rest of her website was mostly color landscapes, etc. yea, i likes the minimalist b&w world too...it is raw like u say, and if you ever actually get to be present in spaces like those in the photos,, it feels like, imo, youre bein swallowed by pure emptiness. so strange and eerie... scary to be where there is little human life around too, ha. effin ayyy! padilla is fucking fantastic! youre def right bout bein raw. holy shit. i luv how gut-wrenching real her work is... my favorite is her work in cuba...the movement and rhythm, aside from the subjects, is so natural and beautiful. her subject matter is unbelievable and the folks/places shes worked with/in are incredible and provocative....thx so much for sharing. ..& weird info...so...turns out, i know peeps @ the school shes gonna be teaching ! small, crazy world. oh, i like how sweet she is with color too...i <3 b&w but it seems, imo, easier to give dramatic contrast in b&w...sometimes i think it seems harder for someone to pull off color.... i think Palmer's post on Allard @ the beginning of this thread is a good example of brilliant photography in color film, imo.

@DetroitWard, i think youre onto somethin here-- i def notice even when im free-hand drawing, theres a kind of 'meditative' dissasociative space/zone/time warp you get into. for sure youre correct it might be healthy for the brain to chill out in similar states and not be so hyper-focused/'conscious' all of the time, tho, like you say once in a while...u prolly dont wanna disassociate all of your waking life... i know in 'normal' daily perception our eyes scan and receive information in small information/light bits, although your concentration/attention varies in degree and kind depending on your activity of course... the scanning part i think has a calming effect on the brain/mind. graffiti can have a lot of swift initial coordinated hand-eye-mind movements, so i wonder if this is what plays a part in down/up regulating certain neurochemicals, etc. even tho your mind state while painting might seem passive, i think it can be like a passive 'reception' which is actually in some situations, really conducive towards learning and forming new neural pathways. i think theyve shown in a lot of neurological studies the brain makes important/new synergizing/synaptical connections/communications best when it is relaxed...in fact, einstein used to take a break from his calculations when he got stuck and went and played his violin and came back to his work after 'recharged' and sometimes able to figure out something he couldn't before...cool, huh? well, heh, sorry if i seem daft...prolly nobody is really too interested in such things, lol ;) but, nonetheless, i think graffiti is really good for the mind, soothing and might even make ya smarter (of course, this all is purely speculative) ha...yad yada,,, i find lame stuff like this utterly fascinating. eh. :lol: anyway, really cool thread/discussion & thoughts.
