I am doing a reorganization and slight move of the office. I created a nice cozy little room in the basement to serve as a work area and computer room. The rest of the basement is in shambles as I move things around. I'm dreading getting to the point where I run out of room and things will have to be given away or sent to the garbage...
In making this move, I find miscellaneous boxes, boxes of stuff, boxes of paper work, but most fun, boxes of prints. This image has always been one of my favorites, since the very moment I made a print. In fact, this could be the very print!
I've been taught well by my mentors, those I have met and have known, those that have inspired me through books and exhibitions. I love when I find a 20+ year old image that I could still put in my portfolio today. It makes me feel like I've had a sound foundation from my beginnings. I've kept my vision and just enjoyed the journey.
I think I drove a Pontiac Sunbird when I shot this. I was able to park less than a 100 yards from this spot and maybe put in a few quarters for the parking meter. I'm certain things have changed! I shot with Canon F-1N's and had a slew of fantastic lenses. Gabriella, I've remembered through out all these years. Some people just leave a lasting impression...
Scan of a Silver Gelatine Print
reprise: Upon having this print by my side for the past hour now, I've become mesmerized by it presence. I keep going back to the shoulder line, the wrinkles in the dress as the wind must have been blowing. I have just enough facial detail to bring back Gabriella's amazingly beautiful face in full force. I love how I can come back...
