Friend Tom Consilvio killed himself in 1991.
No one has told me he left an explanation.
I create my own.
With respect due to you and others.
Tom's suicide, a crucial bonding with his beloved teenage son Amos.
Amos had terminal cancer.
Tom hung himself so Amos would find him.
"Amos, I love you so much. 
I know you will understand. 
I take my own life to honor you and yours.  
To prove my love in this dramatic  form.
To acknowledge your courage facing your own death.  
To join you in this adventure.
To set the natural order of father before son.
And knowing you will show your brother and others how to live and die.
Amos, I love us as father and son."

A friend wants to help docent partner get more:
What I advised my BHS art picture kids, 
"If you want to diddle in the dark . . .
Otherwise, when looking and wanting to see-feel-think stuff: 
Best to start with 'facts' - what is actually there?!
Do it over again  until fuller.  
You do get to decide if it's worth it or no!"

Subject: You got me in a fun hurting place DH! + worst 'exposure' ever! 
I'm a 99% guy who wants the 1%er's $$$ to do test prints +++ then I'd decide all this!
But then you'd be a 99% guy who couldn't afford my gallery prices  
we'd be unconnected   + me a fool!
!Love this   rather exhilarating  actually.
Much of our fun depends on viewing distance and print size!
Attached are two files.  Look and try to imagine
Here are a few choice paths and we could dig up cool s'mores ... more befuddling!?
#1- This tweaked version of my original file (which was little league underexposed)
       will not show much 'noise' in the shadow areas  which will show as black 
       but you lose the 'open' quality in areas, ie: women and men - balcony ...
#2- This other tweaked version will show some 'noise' in the dark areas and overall
       but will show more 'information' in some featured areas.         
#ASize n distance matters ... a 15x15 r smaller #1 viewed closer up 
makes for having some cake and eating size.   
Viewing a 20x20 #2 from further away negates the 'noise' of choosing this more 'info' #2 picture.
#?- How'd you even find this sukker    there are others...?!
#!- "Fuck you Bill!   Got a horse ta ride outta here on?!"
Dave does whatever...     
Os me
