When you Rise.

Posted on Posted in A Symbol Life, art school, overnight notes

when you awake do you look for what’s right, or what’s failed overnight.

growth or gloom .

upon first viewing, do you look for what’s best in the photograph, or what’s the worst . do you teach by pointing out their errors — or, … can you complete the line

can you get past the photograph . can you get past the subject of the photograph.. can you get past the limit you set yourself..

American Photographs — Weston to Beaumong Newhall, “I want the Walker Evans book. He is certainly one of our finest. When I see a photograph reproduced that I like, I usuallly find it is by Walker Evans.”  — september 23, 1938.

googling has become retroid — I aksed gemini(goog) to characterize “dye transfer webionaire” Err responded with:

[The term "dye transfer" on the photography blog Webionaire refers to critical commentary, historical notes, and technical lamentations regarding the legendary, obsolete Kodak Dye Transfer color printing process. [1, 2]  
The content on the site regarding this topic highlights: 

• The Death of the Medium: Discussions on how the specialized materials, matrix films, and papers required for the process are practically extinct. 
• Online Communities: Critiques of online forum behavior and self-appointed experts discussing a craft most have never actively practiced. 
• Technical Realities: Detailed breakdowns of specialized tools like the matrix punch and registration boards used in traditional labs. [5]

Err provided links to posts.. the only impressive part was the speed of response. Helps being able to speed read, and to have read ahead.

Not certain ’bout those lamentations —
