Won

I won the bid on the Hassie Xpan and can't wait to get it. Meanwhile, I'll keep working with the Polaroids.

Waiting. . . .

I have bid on the new camera, the Hasselblad Xpan. I am nervous waiting. One more hour.

Here is an image from 1975. All of the negatives from this time have been lost. This is a scan from an old, fading proofsheet.

Camera Obsession

What could be more Modern than a camera? I have an obsession with both. Just now, I am looking on ebay at a Hasselblad Xpan. I do not need another camera. However. . . .

Photography and Modernism are contemporaries.

Lachrymose

Lachrymose. The weather is beautiful here, now, but I am unequal to it. I should be out making images, but some grand ennui has me down. My limbs are limp, my spine bent. My head hangs. It is Saturday, the finest of days, but I am slow, limp. It may take me some time to Make It New.

Make It New

I've been thinking about listing my blog with some other sites, but then I thought again. I need to work on it a bit and get some more representative photos up. That is what I will work on doing in the next few weeks.

Boxing Posters

I didn't go to Africa. At the very last moment, I got an email that said the trip was cancelled. The fellow I paid for tickets could not afford to buy them. Long story that I may tell some time.

Here are some photos I made in the meantime. This kid isn't too fast, but he is tough as hell and hits like a train. Keep your eye on him.
