This Journal is Like an Annual UpdateI don't know if anyone out there knows who he is, but Utah Phillips died this month. I feel his absence in the world. If you're not familiar with him, look his stories up on iMeem.com or iTunes. He had a podcast as well, and Ani DiFranco published a few albums accompanying him.
Well, I'd like to know what you're doing, out there in the wide wide world. So please be sure to tell me.
Myself, running my studio. Got an H3Dii to work with and a pile of other gear. Shooting pretty ridiculous volumes of product. It's very strange to have a regular paycheck, rather than doing the "waiting for work" thing. I've been researching color almost constantly, and feel that I am beginning to get a base level of expertise in the subject. The physics of light has been a study of mine for years, so combining that with the mechanics of color transformations and colorimetry is pretty exciting. I'm hoping to publish at least a white paper on the subject.
Shooting a lot of film now, again. Built a wetlab to work out of, rather than renting a space or beg-borrowing from a university. I had forgotten how wonderful the film process is; it is so organic and tactile, a great contrast to the antiseptic quality of digital processing.
I have become more aware, as my world begins to age, that the universe is beautiful.
Do stop by and say hello.

I've been working in an ad-design department for the last 7 months learning all that I could about how to improve my photography to suit commercial applications and get in serious InDesign tutorials from the pros while I was at it. That wound up last week, just one week after I bought the new Nikon D3, which is nothing compared to the new 'Blad you just acquired but a far cry better now that it is full frame and has a decent dynamic range.
I've only had one bite at bookings since exiting that contract over the weekend and I hope it will lead to more magazine work. So I am hoping to land in the "regular paycheck" side of things quickly to fund another upgrade to medium format.
I hope all of your non stop work hasn't dampened any of your love of the craft.

I'm producing a great lot less of work, and I've been accepted to 'one of the greatest art schools in Canada' (NSCAD) with a huge scholarship. A good chunk of my portfolio was made of knitted stuff; knitting being something I took up recently. It's a big irony..
I've been spending my year getting healthy, and now I'm organizing my move to Halifax. I've also abandoned dA, and I pop in once a while.

Sometimes terrifying, even horrifying, but always, always beautiful through appropriately tuned eyes.
We'd talked about 365 and images some time ago. If you're interested in resuming that discussion let me know.

dA is for the literary arts, too.
Glad to hear that you're doing well. We'll have to chat more. There is much to discuss.

Good to hear from you, as always.
