Wiley Words

In wileyland, only the name-droppers survive.

his main image goal is sharp detail... afterthoughts are size, and color, but based upon ? naive perception of possibles. he limits his subjects...taking the well worn mannerisms.
accuracy, veracity. consistency of retellings. the truth can be sharp, the lie is always fuzzy

Pathological lying or lying compulsively can also be a symptom of antisocial personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder. People with these personality disorders may lie to gain sympathy or social status, or to preserve a false sense of self.Nov 14, 2022

Why the claim to the unknown, the name-drop, the value assertions? And, how do they work so long among so many?

Claim to X because deep durable knowledge of X is gone.
Perception of expertise goes across entirety of community.
Why DWiley creates fiction of Eliot Porter’s machine shop skill — must be used to make dye transfers. What Eliot had was math / chemistry skill. He wasn't a machinist during the war; he was a clerk, a scheduler. His darkroom, and office showed his wood-shop skills. Desk. Enlarger stand. [https://webionaire.com/2021/07/17/eliot-porter-wars/ ]

he wants you to like him. he wants to control you; think him the expert; believe he has the answer. He craves being the head of the table.
But, like all bullies, he only has fun by diminishing you.
--thats where amateurs go to impress other amateurs
--types:
need to control, to belong, prove worth through mastery
early, limited success , derive meaning of life not found in real life.

Detail Expands the Lie

ways of the expert ..

Truth takes fewer words than a lie.

If you don’t know, you ask. Who answers — how they answer reveals much about them. What you accept reveals more about you. If you tolerate a liar, a buffoon, are you tolerant, or a buffoon? How is your visitor to know the difference. Isn’t it more likely that the quits vs. the stays are better aware.

What does every detail mean? In the case of response for evidence.

What are the foundations of question / answer forms; are they the W’s: who, where, when, etc. If someone says they are going to reveal, what is it that they are to reveal? When someone lays claim to history, a story used to convince you of some action you should take, what does it take for you to believe enough to follow that guidance?

A brief statement filled out with more words, while lacking checkable facts. These are what is stored on the forums. Claims made in self-defense, by those with low self-esteem.

more words.. I looked for something that might be considered a checkable fact.

— where: high-end, pricey, downtown San Francisco

— what: rare, very early photos

— what: lawsuit; bankruptcy

— when: the 80s

Expensive indeed. $7K per print would have been much more than the price at auction of established prints in 1985. Although, one of a kind…

What could have been in the storage bin to erase images (Ag, Plat, what) in six months. Wonder what those at RIT, CCP, or the Getty could tell us about image permanence and fiber-board outgassing speed of destruction?

And claim of authority, Friends of Photography.

Certainly a purchasing clerk from a hardware/door-store would have access to a customer list.

How much does an unnamed name-drop mean to you?

apparently, only enough to confirm your own opinion of the topic.

the elaboration was more words. even more claims without fundamentals of fact.

How much money would he(you) have to make processing orders to give up a print sale business, one where you sold at a “more pricey venue” than $7-8K per print? What does Truitt & White pay now?
