I am working out an edit based on request for a magazine in Mexico. They asked for this one. When I went to hunt for a file I realized that the version of it online comes from a tinyvices post on my work from 2004 or 2005. At the time the computer was a new and rare encounter for me and the file in circulation of this image (until now) came from a darkroom 8x10 work print that I scanned on some half crap Epson flatbed.
I dug out the neg and scanned it today. Looks more or less the same. Sort of. =. :) Minus what was most likely the result of a few beers at the Arts Club mid manic darkroom session. Dodge and burn “skills” evident and perhaps slightly drunk in the print scan. Definite minus that.
Despite the digital revolution things haven’t totally changed. Since dinner tonight I have been working on a bottle of wine while I sit in front of this monitor. Hour. After hour.
