In The Moment

Being on vacation is always double edge sword.  I love the going away part but the getting out of town and (worse) the getting back in the swing of things is a killer.  It was a great time away with E and the kids, time to let the hair down, I take my fun seriously.

I also had fun working on being present and aware… its amazing how many times I go somewhere only to realize I’m not there, busy in the past or the future.  When you at Disney, there is so much to see if your looking.   Its one of the fun parts of photography, aware of my surroundings then using the camera to record how I see it.  Now, to plow through the all the images, here a few

 

Ready, Set, Attack!!!! Cyborg Mickynaughts away.  The digital wrist band that tracks you through the park combined with the finger prints scanner required to enter the park is a little disturbing.

Now to refocus.  I hope to have my wet plate gear and chems up and running by the end of next month.  A lot of work to put it together, but Im excited to start making some images with the process.  Other projects in the works, hope to share as they develop… no pun intended.

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture!) is spontaneous. – Aaron Siskind, 1955
