Not a Goodbye

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 09:48:27 GMT

For every heart beat of joy,
For every smile you drew on our faces,
For every word you taught us,
For the love you planted in our hearts,
For those and more,

We love you, we will always remember you, and will never say goodbye,

instead, we all say... see you soon...

I love you my father...

Yearning To Stay

As I look back, Yearning to stay.........
As I look back, Yet silently pushed away........
As I look back, Returning without answers you can only provide.........
As I look back, Returning with an ache in my heart I can not hide...........

As I look back, Silently I return yearning that you would invite me to stay..........

Sun, 18 Jul 2010 15:32:49 GMT

Now that I have access to darkroom facilities I took some of my digital negatives, the ones I used for my Cyanotype prints, and made lith prints from them.
I contact printed them onto Forte Polywarmtone Gloss RC paper [which I believe is no longer being made].
Without much testing I exposed them for 85 seconds under an enlarger, and developed them for about 6 minutes in the Freestyle A&B lith developer.
I am extremely happy with the results.

"Les visions du temps passé II" - Cyanotype

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 19:35:02 GMT

This was contact printed this afternoon from a digital negative. 6.5 minutes full sun exposure. Arches hot press, 140 lb watercolor paper.

I just am not able to scan this so it looks as good as the original, which is a little lighter in the 'white' areas, and I also like the blue in it better.

I previously posted a black & white version of this.

"Cyanotype Diptych"

Tue, 18 May 2010 16:40:44 GMT

Cyanotypes from digital negatives - Canon G10 originals. Each image is about 5x7 inches printed on Hot Press, Arches 140lb Watercolor Paper.

I am extremely happy with these since they are the first prints from two digital negatives I made last night.

[ I coated the paper this morning]

The sun was partially obscured by clouds at times, so I exposed them by inspection/guess.

Normally I expose my Cyanotypes between 3 and 4 minutes in the Florida sun, winter or summer.

For some reason these also scanned beautifully, and are extremely close to the originals. Normally I have real problems with the color and saturation.

wandering souls

Tue, 18 May 2010 03:53:34 GMT

Wandering souls is what we are
Searching near and searching far
Connecting with both present and past
Our wandering souls forever last
Comprehending neither time nor day
These wandering souls are here to stay
Knowing not what holds us here
Those wandering souls we love so dear
Sensing neither love nor pain
A wandering soul we shall remain

There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
Will you forgive me if I feel this way
Cuz we've just met - tell me that's OK
So take this feeling'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go"................

I have always liked pinhole photos, and often used very high speed film, for the grain effect. So, it seems only natural that I am also attracted to the digital 'noise' produced when photographing with a high iso setting.

I am sure it is not everybody's 'cup of tea.'

My last image of Jan

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 01:12:30 GMT

It was a wonderful day, wandering along the foreshore of Steveston with Jan and Sandy in June last year.

We had an understanding that we wouldn't take any photos of each other, but I snapped this without realising that Jan was in the shot.

I'm so glad I did.

I cropped it and added a graphic element. Once again something he probably wouldn't have done or approved of himself.

But I would be more than willing to hear his complaints about it.

You will be missed my friend.

I cannot begin to say how sad a day this is. To Jan, a funny, charming rascal. You were meant to come and stay with us up here in Sointula. It would have been fun. Now I guess, it will never be. You would have enjoyed walking along the beach at low tide. Lots of things to photograph. At least we got to hang out in Steveston for a day with you and Sandy. I am in shock.

No comments please.

A letter to Jan

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:04:59 GMT

Dear Jan:

You are a very rich man my dear friend. Rich with people's love, rich with how everyone you met or knew thinks of you, rich with the countless number of smiles you drew on faces of old and young, and rich with great feelings and characteristics of a very special person that forever will live in our hearts.

I don't dare say I miss you, yet… I still am trying to accept the fact… no tears will flow anymore, we will all continue to live and think great of you and what you did, because forever you will remain among all those that loved you. So rest assured my friend, we are feeling you, thinking of you, and will always love you.

You were quite a support when I tried to quit smoking more than a year ago. I am going to stop smoking for the next 24 hours and hopefully forever, in respect to you and all those that contributed to the wealth of love you deserve. I urge every smoker in PP to do the same.

May Allah be with all of us.

Yours sincerely,
Asaad

Today I feel very sad and heavy heart, by the unexpected news, Jan was one of the most charming and charismatic, free and creative, this little family.

I want to convey my deep sorrow, their families and loved ones, and the family of PP, for this irreparable loss.

I am sure that now you have started a new journey, and we're seeing from wherever you are:) ?.

Thanks for everything friend, do not forget.

Hoy me siento muy triste y con el corazón encogido, por la inesperada noticia; Jan era una de las personas más encantadoras y carismáticas, libres y creativas, de esta pequeña familia.

April 13, 2009 when I got the chance to visit Tanya's Room in Zamboanga Medical Center. Exactly
45 days had passed, Almondrae Rebollos is one of the kids I got the chance to know during that memorable visit. Through his eyes you can feel his pain but still he has the will to fight.

Since I started my Mission to help save kids with cancer, pledges came from my family, friends and even strangers willing to contribute in their own little way.

Yesterday, May 27, Dr. Cris Dalisay of Zamboanga Medical Center sent me this good news:

Almondrae just completed his induction chemotherapy (or elementary) and good news he is already considered in remission status (almost as if he doesn't have leukemia). He's now on his way to consolidation (another month-considered as high school) hopefully everything will turn out alright, and once he finishes this he's off to maintenance chemotherapy (or College) for three years.

To everyone who became part of this wonderful advocacy, Thank you so much!

My mission, our mission, definitely wouldn't stop here! Let us continue praying for the full recovery of Almondrae...

"Swuannee Dawn in blue II"

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:30:34 GMT

Cyanotype on Canson Rag, watercolor paper. {Contact print from digital neg. Original, 35mm Neopan 1600]

Just finished printing, developing and drying this one. The paper was still a little moist when I put it in the scanner.

"Suwannee Dawn in Blue"

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:40:24 GMT

Cyanotype on Arches 140 lb hp, watercolor paper.[digital neg. contact printed. Originally 35mm Neopan 1600]

I just developed and dried this one. I had been concerned that the negative was too contrasty and a lot of the highlights would be 'blown out.' Except for a couple of spots that did not happen, and I can live with those.

"blue veil"

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 08:26:47 GMT

Cyanotype on Arches Cover, cp - contact printed with digital negative.

This one worked pretty well too, although again I had thought the blue would 'contradict' the mood of the piece. It is a bit mottled since it is printed on cold pressed paper. I do think that for most of the time the smother surface of the hp papers works best, although I do like Arches cold pressed paper for a lot of my inkjet prints.

Original from 35mm Neopan 1600 neg.

"Blue Mirror"

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:59:45 GMT

Cyanotype contact printed from digital neg on Arches hp 140 lb watercolor paper.

Original Canon G10 & Photoshop layers/texture

When I picked this one for making a Cyanotype, I was convinced that it would not work well, but since I hope to do some VD Brown printing soon, I went ahead and made the digital negative, and was pleasantly surprised how well the image worked in Cyanotype

I was surprised by the '3dimensional' effect of the mirror texture, and also by the warm tones in the highlights..

[If you seen the original in my stream, I purposely did not flip the negative.]

...but spring will come again

Cyanotype contact printed from digital negative on Arches hp 90lb watercolor paper.

I think this one works better as a warm toned print. Think it is a candidate for a VanDyke brown print. I have not yet mixed up the chemistry for that process - hope to get around to it next week..
