I am a person who likes contrast in all thing in life.It took me years to understand life is not “black and white”.At least most my pictures are.
Sometimes “bleaching” out half a face with levels and light adds to the expression.
From the same roll as last time – Adi is the easiest person to shoot from my very limited experience.
Life is good. The only hard thing is University – but I will get on top of that.
I’ve been offered a Polaris sd100 for 90$ and since I need a new lightmeter I might take it – if I like the testdrive. I only own one camera with a light meter now so I depend on it indoors and at night.
I think this picture is best viewed fullsize.
The film was shot during this session and developed recently. I love developing film months after it was shot.It is a much better way to evaluate the pictures.
I have some undeveloped film from 6 months ago or so.
in my head at least.
today I am going to see Auktyon among other things. Possibly do a little street shooting. Going to be a busy day.
I understood today that it is stupid to expect recognition of my photographic vision by all,when only a small group of people bears me as a person.That is a relief.I just need someone to remind that to me every time I start to get whiny.
The Bahai Gardens in Haifa are so groomed that the word roccoco comes to mind. They seem so unnatural it is a bit frightening.
Kodak announced a new version of tmax 400.Nice.
Life is strange. Often I feel happy in the morning and sad in the evening. I have nothing to complain about but yet I am not happy. I feel I dont know where I am heading. I think one of the things that drive me is photography – but where am I going with it? An exhibition or a book would attract no one,I will never make money of it in a way I would enjoy it and yet I don’t see myself not taking pictures.
That what plays in my head:
I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Seriously – guess what is it – I’ll send you a nice Jupiter – 8 lens.
