Clearly it has been some time since I originally shot these photos. These are from a trip to see Laurel when she was working in NYC for a week. Staying in Chelsea was close proximity to the High Line and voila, here was are. These are taken with the Holga on Portra 400 film.
In other news, I dreamt I was talking to Gordon Stettenius from Candela Gallery about learning wet plate process. In the dream I was telling Gordon about my discovery of the work of Stephen Berkman . So impressed was I that it seemed a good idea to learn this process. Now, in real life I've always felt it would be way too hard, complicated, messy. But in the dream, I told myself it's just like anything else to learn. In fact, I started getting ideas of what kinds of images I'd like to make.
Will I take a class in wet plate? I don't know. But what I'm delighted by is actually dreaming about photography and art making. Normally my dreams are way non sensical (not that there's anything wrong with that), or overly emotional, or super frustrating (you know, trying to dial a phone number and never getting it right). So, I consider this encouraging.
