Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night

greetings from brooklyn,



Hi everyone, this is my first official post to kick-start a new journey with Objectifs and Objectifs Residency & Lab for Photography and Film 2006! words can't really begin to describe how grateful and excited I am to be granted this wonderful opportunity - to join the many talented and reknowned individuals at Objectifs and those who are committed to bringing new forces and new talents together, new encounters, and above all creative collaboration!



It's late, or rather, early. About 5:44am Eastern Standard Time. I had the day off from work yesterday and today is going to be another day of rest and freedom. Most of yesterday was spent photoshopping for about 5 solid hours in the afternoon with Bach on repeat for the entire session (i think i listened 'Air on a G string' about 30 times...he's perfect for an intense session of cloning and stamping i swear). At some point i felt a pang of hunger and looked up from the computer screen out the window -- a mix of spring and summer has finally arrived here in New York and suddenly the world was alive and green again. and at 6am, quite blue as well.



so let a lesson be learned: if one is to obsessively shoot off rolls of 35mm film with reckless abandonment, one must also be wise enough to avoid pile-ups of negs that need to be batch scanned and systematically organized in one sitting due to the fact that rarely is there ever an available scanner when one needs it most. otherwise it's loads of coffee and insomnia for you.

I have yet to learn this lesson. I'm also in dire need of some new hardware.
