Hello C.S. . I am very happy to hear you.
So my life is change. Her name Lusy. I life in the old house in the
center of my city and bought Bronica SOa and chemical for film... try
to be film photographer.
I write to you more tommorow. You can use photo and tell you story

I don't like the photo. Or maybe I just don't like that it isn't Kate. But I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteIt feels too much like a pimp shot to me. I think it could have had a more Manet/Olympia feel -- a more head on assault with her eyes if she didn't have the tilted-head-trying- to -be -smoldery thing going on and the pose.
The poetry is missing from this one for me. And I can see she has it inside her.
But really? What the fuck do I know...
On the positive side (I know in doing a critical review I should have began with the positive), I see the Golden Mean that seems to curl out from her belly-button to her nipples spiraling to his.
"So my life is change. Her name is Lusy.."
There is such a void in that statement for me.
It could be youth, I suppose. I don't feel pain here and perhaps at my age, I like a twinge of pain with my art.
Anyway, Sasha is a brilliant star in the sky and mostly I am in love with what he has done. I hope this doesn't seem too critical or cruel.
Wow, that is a hell of a series!
ReplyDeleteYou're writing - especially about the freak show - is superb. I never use that word :-)
Ahhh youth....
ReplyDeleteI am curious to see his life with Lucy.
She is bold.
I suppose if it isn't a "wounding" in the art, I go for unadulterated joy (which also even twinges with a bit of pain doesn't it? )

I've been very bad today and have not worked at all but rather mucked about photos and poems for hours. I must admit to feeling slightly confused about the purpose of blog things. It feels like they want to be interactive but at the same time I feel like maybe they want to be just quiet places people go.
I do however know that blog is now a legit Scrabble word. But other blog etiquette still feels slippery to me.
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI suppose that people write blogs for the same reason anyone writes. They want to make a record of some sort. The author can control the interactive part by moderating the comments or shutting off that function completely. In the main, blogs are a cheaper form of self-publishing, something that is the embarrassing little secret that people don't comment on so much.
So don't worry. At least here. This isn't The New Yorker.
Nikon,
ReplyDeleteI grew up with a generation that wore that moniker willingly.

Tammy,
ReplyDeleteYup. Youth. Some have it and some don't. What a universe.
