yup.
the photographs are being edited in B&W for a couple of reasons.
firstly - the mac is coughing it's lungs up, proverbially, with the number of snaps i am asking it to open.. it's too, too slow to work in colour right now.
secondly - i want to choose the best photos for this book..
eventually some will be chosen for good colours and perhaps not make sense in black and white - so i will try not to post any of those from now on.. they do however remain in the folder and in 'the edit' as it moves along.
in black and white i'm finding it so much easier to see whats going on .. and to see again what i saw when i clicked is important, as memory does escape me occasionally.
lastly a word about the quality of the scans.
all the work is shot on film - some dating back to 1997 - and at the time i began submitting scans to magazines both my equipment and knowledge was basic.
all work will be rescanned once narrowed down - the ones shown here are very low-res and in some cases extremely poorly scanned in the first place.
i did not begin to submit j-pegs until 2000 - 2001, since magazines i contributed to did not have the facilities to recieve them. this work is only in neg form.. for now.
and so.
i am getting there.. on a journey now to fulfill a great ambition.. perhaps even greater than traveling to photograph people in the first place.
a book is a four letter word and i'm sure before this process is over i'll be saying a lot more four letter words.
just to reiterate - this is not a final edit nor a sequential edit even.. it's random photos pulled from my digital files of work drawn from around 1/4 of the total work i have.
as soon as my negatives arrive in norway there will be many, many more photographs.. some real corkers actually.. that is when party politics and the police get drawn into the shenanigans.. house-parties, protest & why the scene was forced indoors and the clubs became 'super'..
thanks for visiting and please enjoy the work with eyes wide open.
also - feel free to comment if you have a mind to.. whatever your perspective it is welcome.
