Today I woke at 3am and fell asleep at 5am. Roommate decided to have a slumber party. Where I live has no walls. Work at 9:30am. Crawled around inside a new temporary wall for awhile, talked to co workers, had a production meeting. Worried about getting in trouble from bosses. Bosses seem pleased for now. Still worried. Crawled around in wall some more. Crawled out, noted back pain, noted plasma I had installed IN wall needs switched, burned screen. Tried to switch. Found tripped electrical breaker, alerted facilities. Checked cleanliness of galleries, closed, locked, lights off. Boss wanted to talk, feared, worried. Boss wanted to have a drink and bullshit. Welcome beyond belief. Had Drink. Museum Nerd Out Session. Came home. 7:50 ish pm. The other boys turn for door tonight, don't have to go to the bar.... Fix loose memory in computer, stupid techs, restart, working. Deliberate getting a drink. Send ex-boyfriend email with a recently processed photo of him, looking handsome. Consider drinking more. Make blog post with recently processed image of that fourth of July nearly 4 summers ago on the other side of the country that rolls of films are still showing up from. Miss Heat, Summer, Humidity, Friends, Lovers, Loves, Brothers. Fields.<br />

Been a slacker again. Just dropped off some film the other day. Harder to drop off film when the spot isn't just around the corner anymore.<br />
Upgrade at job see's me in place of Sr. Preparator for an interim period after a shuffle in the dept. Learning lots of cool shit from friend/co-worker above me who has stepped up into his own interim set up. First steady work since before I moved to San Francisco, lasting at least until mid-July ish. Save that money. Make that money. Make more explosions.<br />
Buying things to fix Minolta. Miss her. There is much to be said for the size and aspect of medium format. However, there is something to be said for the portability and number of shots with 35mm. Especially when what you are attempting is to get some more immediacy in your life in regards to work. To get back into the groove. To get going. It's a lot easier when what you're carrying around doesn't weigh as much. and has its own light meter.John Foster Cartwrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12466835689422583806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864574420520482865.post-91370290114396876242012-04-04T20:30:00.004-04:002012-04-04T20:30:45.061-04:00OX<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">In the past I've posted portraits that I've made of friends passing through San Francisco. (<a href="http://jfcphoto.blogspot.com/2010/04/visitors-i.html" target="_blank">Visitor I</a>, <a href="http://jfcphoto.blogspot.com/2010/05/visitors-ii-et-iii.html" target="_blank">Visitors II & III</a>). I plan on continuing this, though I have kinda slacked on the past few. I admit. Although some of them have been doubles, or I just forgot. Regardless... This past December, my sister Molly came to visit. She hadn't been to the west coast since she was probably 10 or so for an ill fated wedding. Now she's an adult and made the trip no problem, despite having probably not flown since that previous west coast encounter. Not only was I proud of her for that, but was astounded by the dualities I noticed within her while she visited. We had moments of smart conversation, and moments of child like awe at getting to see amazing things together. We are viciously close, and getting to hang out here, in my new home, was some bit of amazing for the both of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />The trip was of course well documented between camera's, phones, film, digital, etc. But these are ones I have chosen. If I chose just one, to follow along in the Portraits of Visitors series, it would be the one on top. It fits the model the best. It's a good piece of bread on the other side of I and the meat and cheese of II and III. But if I chose to add some mayonnaise and wait for more bread, from some other visitor, I would probably select the one immediately following, because it breaks a bit from the rest of them. The others I am posting because I like them. And they are a good document. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The first image is of her sitting on top of Corona Heights, where I often take visitors for the walk ability and the view, though that was when it was very close to my old house. The image was taken while I made her sit with me for over an hour as I shot a video straight up to the sky, gathering footage for an upcoming video project. (please don't tell her that I ended up deciding I can't use the footage) It was a nice sort of zen out moment, as neither of us spoke the whole time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The lower images are from a drive down the coast we took with a friend. I wanted to just drive for awhile and let her see how the landscape/plants/environment is so different from what we were used to from the East Coast. It's something I've always taken note of with a fascination. We drove towards Santa Cruz, our driver holding a secret plan to ride a roller coaster before sunset. However, it was decided that if we kept going to the boardwalk, we would actually miss the sunset, and the drive back home (which follows the coast vs. the mountains which get you there) would be a waste in the dark. So we turned around and got on the 1. We drove for awhile admiring the flat fields stretching out to the great Pacific, and eventually pulled off. We stopped at a small little beach where Molly met the Pacific Ocean for the first time, and we watched the sunset. Soon we got back in the car, and headed home. All the while, Molly intensely staring out the window. Not missing a second of the colors in the sky and on the ocean as they changed hues, flowing like the waves, and slowly fading into their infinite black with the occasional blinking light.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Today I was supposed to do a little file / hard drive work and then spend the afteroon scanning and editing. However, I ran into some problems and unforseen loooooonnnngggggg file transfer times. Aye! So I spent the day instead looking into new music, learning about coding, flash, and similar things. All the while I was wrestling with hard drives. But since I set out to do photowork today I snuck this one off my back up drive and played with it for awhile. </span><br />

Open Camera, 2011<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Dear Everyone.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've missed you. Dearly. For awhile I was eeking along using a kind roommate's neg scanner, which eventually left when she did. And then life was really wild and crazy for awhile. I lost a dear dear friend. I lost my housing, as a result of the death and sketchy land lords / leases. But things are exploding. Can you tell? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">After working a grand amount, I'm now up and running at a new place. With artistic collaborators as ware-home-mates. Video projects are coming up like bum piss on my new street, which means often. And now, finally, I'm scanning away on my own, personal, negative scanner. Once again, I am a photographer with an output. Expect alot. I've been shooting, thought at times sparingly due to money, since I moved here and haven't had much output due to the cost of processing. But this makes it all better. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />

I've been shooting alot lately, since mid-july really. But I haven't had any money to process the film. Aye. It's an annoying world we live in. Because the subjects include:<br />-My Dad, Cousin, and Cousins bride doing Keg-Stands at said cousins wedding.<br />-Beautiful Sunny Park days.<br />-Drag Queens in the woods<br />-Old Gay Bar's in the Tenderloin<br />-etc etc etc.<br /><br />To see these photographs, please send an inquiry as to where you may send a cheque to.

This and working. And I suppose a fair amount of drinking. But more working and this. I feel like life is winding down after my whirlwind December/Christmas/New Years/Early January. I've had enough down time to start making my down time productive and enjoyable. I'm finishing a book I've probably been reading since...it's embarassing, so never mind. I'm excited to be done with it and use that fresh space in my guilty reading concious to re-read some of my photo history books. A friend is also loaning me the "Just Kids" Patti Smith book, which I'm sure I'll fly through given it's photo history connection. I also want to hit "Art & Fear" back up. I've been feeling like I could use a go at it again lately. I feel greatly unmotivated to produce work by the insanity of the MFA gallery scene here. It feels like unless you study under the darlings, the darlings will never let you in their galleries. Or, perhaps they might, but how the hell they are ever going to see your work to even think about it...? Why in your MFA crit. of course....! Sorry to end on a seemingly negative note. Here's better.

Though last year went out on quite an absurd note, as occurrences can sometimes be, this one seems off on a good foot. It seems full of kinetic energy.
