A week later --->>> How in-my-pea-brain did i keep this picture that long? ... OUT !

Dan Skjæveland sent me the MoMA Atget today!
Vikings connect  Lucky me

Partially-surviving the G-ma/ma  must have been full-time stuff for the small n vulnerable

Perfect compare   the Nathan n Francis jr:  simplistic-head-style-specs:    

Nathan  You got the academic  memory-reading-research-articulation-writing +
My mom  sister  wife Nancy and Esther = that 'brain-style'

Duke got the 'what's happening here'   get me to a pole wit dogs  sailing  tennis   ?fatherhood?   I'm outta here . . .

He was very often rather nasty    all his insecurities & funk were visited on/in my head    Edie's also    

Respected Edie's pol works & survival tech n grit  & occasional loans!   'dad' = lost

I finally could not be more grateful  (close ones do suffer my neuroses)  ie w/o them/that  I could not love the:

Moses & I  et al  are some kinda hybrids  small-western-academic-ingredients hands-on naive here-n-now dudes?

I very enjoy being here-n-now  self-sucked into avoiding my major picture editing thing   going on since June
when I funkily-Mac-button-pressed WRONG &  lost every fuckin' picture-file

to be salvaged over 3 mos of combo efforts with 'pros'   better than moi
 and now editing and tweaking from 3700  'down' to 800 'perfected' files

= website makeover   & flickr redo   

Like my 'childhood'   LUCKY FUCK UP  ?!  i needed this to kick lazy-pink-entitled-ass into real-edit-gear    
So Grateful

Be Well Joe   Bill

Kitaj did a semester at UCBerkeley in'67-'68, 
i was doing a masters in painting 
looking at my paintings for a seminar he says, 
"These are the best pictures I've seen out here (west coast), 
but ya know Bill, the heroics of these were done by Kandinsky and Mondrian." 
It still took me 2 yrs to stop, get a camera, self-learn & go...

I do a Flickr gallery.
Out of millions of Flickr pictures it's impossible to know and find all of what's out-there. 
It is often inspiring and humbling to find-see so many quite-fine-to-wonderful pictures! 
In a few places on the planet my pictures get valued by chance-luck ... 
But we miss most of the beauties out-there!
Os with luck-chance for all of us, Bill

I am believing there are so many images and pictures in our world,
it's making our creating and discerning real funky adventures.

Sad.  Sadness everywhere.
Os Bill.

1973 MOMA show  A.D. Coleman    Luckily after years I was just handed this review - knew it existed - but not how red bloody exciting. Doctor Coleman speaks truths to and for many: "... Now, if I were a photographer myself, I would be deeply Insulted by this show. I would be insulted that an institution so prestigious and powerful as the Museum of Modern Art would present, as photographically exemplary, a collection of random snapshots by someone who has not even established enough craft competence to make his disregard of craft standards a significant esthetic choice..."

More insight on Greece (from 2011).  Needs reading. (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/a-christmas-message-from-americas-rich-20111222)

"Just look at how banks like Chase behaved in Greece, for example.

Having seen how well interest-rate swaps worked for Jefferson County, Alabama, Chase “helped” countries like Greece and Italy mask their debt problems for years by selling a similar series of swaps to those governments. The bank then turned around and worked with banks like Goldman, Sachs (who were also major purveyors of those swap deals) to create a thing called the iTraxx SovX Western Europe index, which allowed investors to bet against Greek debt.

In other words, banks like Chase and Goldman knowingly larded up the nation of Greece with a crippling future debt burden, then turned around and helped the world bet against Greek debt.

Does a citizen of Greece do that deal? Forget that: does a human being do that deal?

Operations like the Greek swap/short index maneuver were easy money for banks like Goldman and Chase – hell, it’s a no-lose play, like cutting a car’s brake lines and then betting on the driver to crash – but they helped create the monstrous European debt problem that this very minute is threatening to send the entire world economy into collapse, which would result in who knows what horrors. At minimum, millions might lose their jobs and benefits and homes. Millions more will be ruined financially.But why should Chase and Goldman care what happens to those people? Do they have any skin in that game?Of course not. We’re talking about banks that not only didn’t warn the citizens of Greece about their future debt disaster, they actively traded on that information, to make money for themselves.People like Dimon, and Schwarzman, and John Paulson, and all of the rest of them who think the “imbeciles” on the streets are simply full of reasonless class anger, they don’t get it. Nobody hates them for being successful. And not that this needs repeating, but nobody even minds that they are rich.

What makes people furious is that they have stopped being citizens."

GREECE     good luck for all of us.

Σας ευχαριστούμε ΣΥΡΙΖΑ και του ελληνικού λαού!
Συγγνώμη ίσως λυπηρό - αλλά είμαι gonna έχει ένα κομμάτι της ελπίδας για λίγα λεπτά!
Και δείτε τι αυτές οι μαλάκες ευρώ κάνει τι; κάνει μια Κούβα από ΕΛΛΆΔΑ.
ΑΓΑΠΗ Bill.

THANK YOU GREECE! ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ΕΛΛΆΔΑ!

Dear Monet

Last night  I wrote you a note rationalizing my status as absentee-grampa 

'Accidentally' erased the draft this am    hmmmnn  psych

I want you to know I am aware

It makes sense to me    as far as I can think     it is me  and with others

Experiencing your beautiful new f​amily  w/f​riends network of support and care is 'relieving'   happy-stuff   

I hope I don't cause you all grief  sadness  alienation  +

I know I love You Nick Romy Esther Moses Nancy

I'm a natural outsider  trucker   small regrets   iswhatitis   amwhatIam   not selfpittying   i whine a little    damnLucky

You are a wonderful daughter-person  Monet   a wonderful mother  partner 

I believe that if You follow Your 'gut'   You will seldom be 'wrong'     I know stuff!

Love  Dad

Add: 

Nancy's place in our saga​ has been very difficult for her  for me  for Nancy-me  You-Nancy  

36 years   Camille's business always came first

and

Whatever the stories   I felt humiliated for myself and Nancy at the hospital  

being the last to be invited to Romy's birth    thin skin li'lbilly?    Os  D​

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.         

#A- Size 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
