Interesting article in the local news today.

John sometimes I look at my own work and think that maybe I've got that percentage beat...by about (more like at least) .99%!

wasn't a slight towards anyone in particular, but most photography is as earth shattering as watching grass grow but it floats the maker's boat, and that's all that really counts, isn't it ?

there's gonna be a giant dumpster fire when im gone, but im enjoying myself like you ..

Whats next, smearing peanut butter on them?

Did you look at the "boat launch developed negatives" that were drying on a string in the sun? If you noticed carefully, most of them were solid clear or black before she did anything to them... not exactly anything creative.

I've noted over the decades, that that is how many artists work; somehow they seem to create something from nothing.

Has to be heaps better than peanut butter, after all a peanut is not a nut and it isn't a butter.

using a salt water bath to remove random bits of emulsion from a negative that has no image on it... is not photogrpahy nor is it creativity.


And if you read up about the mighty peanut, youd realize your trespassing into rather bad political ideology with that peanut comment.

I’d love to see some of your photographs …do have a website or link to a host. I don’t care film. digital large or minimalist format .. or will it blow your cover?

He’s not going to do that. He’d be exposing himself to backlash. You can’t troll a group once people know who you are.

If it's spelled "analogue" it must really be artsy.

Hey...I'd love to watch grass grow - it would be fascinating I think...maybe even earth shattering!

[Drew Wiley]

Watch grass grow, then have to mow - it's that time of year again.

Developing film in the field is pretty hardcore (not to mention voluntarily wrestling with a Mamiya C330). I have to admire her grit and originality. Some of the images are strange and compelling, to me at least.

Sydney Harbour water certainly brings something to the process that I never considered-- seeing as how many of us here expend so much time and effort trying to keep things clean and under control. Time and the atmosphere are going to degrade our pictures eventually no matter what we do, so why not embrace the corrosion and see where it takes you. Not recommended when working for a client, however.

Appreciate the heads-up, Marc!
