it ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it …

One pill makes you popular … The other makes you crawl..

The vertigo project is about dye transfer and motion picture some thing a few of the weekend photographers pay heed to and certainly not those under the age of 40. The movie is from grandpa’s time..

The other project, the other pill ,the one that’s tough to swallow is based on an AI of an icon , and an iconic image. also from grandpa’s time ,but it has stronger weekend following … a following that drinks Starbucks not hills brothers coffee.. that Coffee can of Ansel’s 

Lesson: if you’re going to appropriate , or extend, do it using ancient revered tools ; maybe hand coated emulsions– some toning, but hard to notice — be careful in appropriation… being right is often wrong .

I wager that if you had done a hand colorized dye transfer it would’ve gone unnoticed ..or, included the Ansel Adams gift shop brigade a cut.

and whatever you do never make a Stained glass Version and treat it as though it were a church window; The altar burning coffee wicks..

it goes to show , you never can tell

The past you choose, the past you follow determines your  followers , your future.
