I'm nervously getting myself ready for another solo trip to NYC tomorrow. I'll be working with Jody Ake in Brooklyn to hone my wet plate photo skills for a day. Otherwise--I'm footloose. Five days in New York. Well situated above mid-town on the East Side. Dinner with Q at Holy Basil tomorrow night. The rest to wander and explore. I'll keep you informed.
I write in solitude, of course, which makes me feel rather solipsistic. Whenever I get a hint that this blog exists in the world outside, I am shocked. Yesterday, the blog got a big bump. I discovered that something I had written a while back was reprinted on another blog. I don't mind at all, but as I say, it is surprising to me to find that what I do really exists elsewhere. It was fun to read what I had written though I wanted to edit it there and then.
But I am hoping to exist elsewhere, or at least that my work will. I am beginning to send some things out for consideration. I've never asked a woman out because I can't stand rejection, so we'll see what happens here.
If you have any suggestions for my trip, let me know quickly. I leave early in the morning.
The only suggestion I have for your trip is for YOU to bring LOTS of money. We'll need it...

Watch out NYC...
ReplyDeleteThe advice is Micke Berg's from his book "Fotograferna" (2006)
ReplyDeleteHe says: Send your script to 10 publishers. I you don't get a single positive response, print the book yourself.
Suggestion: Take ME with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, just soak it all in so you can come back, write about it and we can live vicariously through your experiences.
And have fun!
