Film all done. Now I have to start proofing.
Film all done. Now I have to start proofing.
Just beginning with proofs. Probably proofed 1/3 of the negatives today. To see the scenes almost all the way through the translation into Black and White prints is quite.....well, there just isn't an English word for the emotion.
All the technical camera stuff. The tripod. The image management. Balancing negative space. Worrying over the light. 100 sandwiches. 1000 miles. There they finally ARE. It's a great process.
Scanned from proofs.
Just applied for ANOTHER AIR. We'll see. This one is pretty short and rugged. Would be at the end of this summer.
About 1/4 of negatives left to proof.
Just to let you know, we are following
Following indeed! Just to let you know, Robert, from one Langham to another, this tread has been very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Holy smokes! Another Langham! We must be long-lost cousins!
Got emails out to couple of folks including the current AIR at Grand Canyon South Rim where I will be NEXT July. Puzzling to me that there isn't more communication between folks who have the same AIR slot. I could at least warn the next person about the spiders in the hogan, send them a little list of places they ought to visit, where to buy gas, how to get a bar or two of Verizon, what the Ravens like to eat, who makes coffee in the mornings, et. I realize that many artists are loners, but still...
You are about as social as artists get. For me it is a necessary chore as it is not in my nature. One reason I do AIRs is to get away from the constant demands of family, students and clients. All of whom I love and appreciate but they emotionally drain me and I need the alone time to recharge.

I've fought those same exact tendencies. Now lived long enough that I recognize myself in others so I treat myself with as much patience and tolerance as I can muster!
Not really about tendencies or patience or tolerance. I've never lacked patience or tolerance. That's why I have always been a good teacher-and been highly commended by students and admin at every institution I have ever taught at. Its about being an introvert. I am drained by people and get recharged by quality alone time. That's one of the reasons I love teaching in Santa Fe at SFUAD and the commute. I have a good solid hour of quality alone time before and after class.
