Seriously, your work is much better than most of what I've seen published. There is no justice in the world.
If I had the social medias I would check out your instagram just to see more.
That kid and goat (kid and kid?) photo is a winner. More than worth the effort, I'd say.
Ah, Ned, do a book. Please. Even just a 'zine. On newsprint, even. And please include the kid & goat.
I will devote 2019 and 2020 to making things happen.
Iphone, at the Beach, earlier today.

Good luck-if you can just be patient and persistent then you're well on the way to making things happen.I will devote 2019 and 2020 to making things happen.

I really like that. I can't explain why, but it is appealing and I really like it.
I'll take 2.
For starters. And I hope that it'll include that last shot (just so I can ponder the Imponderable: why is that gent in the background caressing his belly? Why do I never see things like this?)
Try a little bit of flashing on the goat might help, but the goat is " good to go" as is.!!!Shot on tmax100. I had to burn 20x into the white fur, it was so blown.
Yes, tmax100 can ba hard to tame...View attachment 226888

Fresh from trying to edit a 1500-word essay on why you can't talk about art, and re-visiting this shot from time-to-time for a little over a month now, it is reinforced that while you cannot say what art is or how it does what it does, you can burble on lamely about some of the things in it.
Ah, composition/content. Those four interlocking triangles, arranged by size clockwise from lower right. That may not have been consciously deliberate, but it's not serendipity, not accident. I think it's the 'T' gene in play; innate, born talent - you see it, you know it without knowing it; it appears in the air over your head or as a silent command, and the shot gets made. The same ineffable factor in all your best photographs.
The pointing figure gives movement to the whole, to even the semi-static figures - the woman completes her glance down and small kick at the sand and the old gent anoints his belly and pate with swirls of propitiation and prayer and they are animate, and the animation invites or compels narrative because there is a story being told, but the viewer must complete the details for himself. Looking at this rich photo demands, compels participation. And that is one foot print, the spoor of art.
Or so it seems to me.
And now I will take a moment to post a super lousy scan of a freshly developed negative. I can’t wait to properly print this tri-x negative developed in Xtol 1:1.
Willy and Awty, thank youse.
Was a freshly dead dog, by the way. Run over by a car, and then shoveled away a few moments later.
