Back from California, earthquakes, wildfires, and more. I don't know why anyone ever wants to go home. There is nothing but trouble there. Today, I return to work. I have bills to pay. Home is a horror show, I think, compared to the freedom of the road. Money, however. . . . I learned to make collodion images. Here is my first tintype. It is of the fellow who taught me. I'll link him later.
But I have no time now. I must prepare for the daily beating.
Good to see you back. I have missed you. We always have to work for somebody else instead of doing what we really want to do.
ReplyDeleteLike collodion images. That's very interresting! Lately I have seen some nice collodion work by Jody Ake. I don't think there is anyone teaching that technique here in Sweden.
By the way I like the bullet hole in the guy's pants. Seems to have been a rough time in California.
Thanks, Jan.
ReplyDeleteI have seen Ake's work and like it. There are several others, and I am certain my own will be derivative for a while.
The boy lives in Oakland which IS a rough place. I wanted to photograph the neighbors, but he didn't want anything to do with that.
Now I have to think of something to say for today's entry.
