Blogs Are Dead
yep. As a vehicle carrying you to fame; not dead for why they began. Awareness of your world. They started as a “log” — journal based commitment. First, a homepage before the net was “e” and “ramp” … WEBLOG, the word arose in 1997; prior to that written pages were widespread with links to other pages. Some people were gathering those links into categories. We long to shorten words: chop off the…

Index Prints
The idea print. Collecting visuals. Stages of the darkroom process. Beyond the wild guess. Looking more than once, while looking at more than one. Building the comparative response. This index is from the librarians, not the linguists. /’ that it contains so much contradictory information that a verbal message is needed to fix its meaning ‘/ The key point of this post is using “jigs” as aid to…

Sun Dye Service
From my prior post: “CVI, Color Vision Imaging laboratory, Manhattan, 1981. Guy Stricherz (b. 1948) graduated from western Washington University in 1974. He went to New York city in 1977 to work for Frank Tartaro who was one of a dozen masterful printers. Even at that time the process was falling out of use. It had peaked by 1980. Irene Malli (b. 1964) graduated from Cooper Union; after…

Morning Arrow
… finding acolytes… deriving this question: why is it that we denigrate those who question our knowledge? Particularly found amongst innovation experts, teachers of business development laying claim to complete, rigorous knowledge of economics, certainly with regard superior to those amateur economist participating in an economy without PhD skills.

Another Write Off
Third time on the topic of secret knowledge. Also, the limitation you set as an excuse. Most people don’t achieve a skill because they continue diluting their effort. Instead of achieving a first skill, they attempt the final skill. Knowledge expires with inaction. DYE TRANSFER INVITED EXPLORATION. REWARDED THE ADVENTURER. When the duplicators of photgraphy arrived, dye died. Why not there?…

It's not Rock Science
how those things come to be so. Become so, so, so complicated. And making the new by asking new, or anew. Why can’t minerals think? Theory based practice… meaning that thinking and looking are source material to the making. The “electronic village” [McLuhan]. information is suspect. Evidence, not proof. Something presented not given. The owner of the channel, the wall, the palace of exchange…

Some References: Theory
books from the theory shelf. Would be considered as starting places in a course approaching the image making process. These are theory texts. Use these to build out a vocabulary.
