Guess who can roll over?

He can do it! But he doesn't really like being on his tummy, yet.

Thought I had figured out the right file format for uploading videos to blogger, but I've forgotten. Will figure it out again! Just like rolling over, trial and error.

Here is a link to the video on my new youTube page. Or maybe the video will show up right here!

Upcoming projects/ "Our Lives, Our Space"

Professor Sealing Cheng's work with women in Seoul, Korea, will be on display soon in the Jewett Art Center, Sculpture Court area. A photo-voice project where the women photographed their home life, work and local culture, the images are colorful and compelling. We printed 40 and will be installing the exhibit this week. The images are titled, "In front of my house," and "A lady's room."

Neville Brothers play Boris Color Lab (aka House of Blues)

Last week, the Neville Brothers and Dr. John played at the House of Blues in Boston. Located on Landsdowne Street across from the Green Monster, I felt a bit nostalgic and rather old. Same location as my first photo job in Boston. The bathrooms are probably where the black and white darkroom was! We saw the Neville's play in Sander's Theatre in the early '80s. We were all a lot younger then!

Finally feel like I am on leave!

Walking with Emiliano to Central Square for lunch today was so lovely. Got several errands done, saw lots of people of all stripes, the weather was great...so nice!! Not being behind the desk and cooped up at Wellesley made me very happy. Classes have started and I'm not thinking about transfer credit too much. It is a luxury to get paid to learn some new tricks and to think about making new work.

New things I'm learning...the latest version of Image Print, a RIP for the printer. I can add some text, but of course, it won't do the thing I want it to do easily. Oh, well. I'll figure it out. At least I think I can make a template for positioning the image and text so I won't have to do that 40 times as I print an exhibit.


BACKYARD: 2002 - 2009
I printed a number of images for a faculty exhibit at Wellesley in the Jewett Art Gallery.  Still prefer the gelatin prints for b/w, but was able to get decent prints fairly quickly. And I can reprint very easily!
 

Got some good hints about scanning 4x5 negs from Steve Milanowski. We visited Steve and Peg and kids at Lake George.

Long time, no posting!

Wish there was a way to post from my iPod when I am online. I'll figure it out some day. Busy learning my way around VueScan and ImagePrint...imageprint was working just fine until today when I really needed it to work well. Trying to get prints done for a faculty show by Friday morning. Color is not coming out correctly or predictably. Nor is the b/w printing well...too contrasty compared to the file before it is imported into imageprint. But I did get good advice about the Epson printer from the area rep so that I know how to adjust the printing gap for different papers. Erik was here for a brief visit to see all of us. Dylan had a birthday. And the Neville Brothers came to the House of Blues. We are all 30 years older than the last time I saw them! And the HoB is in the old Boris Color Lab building...where Cathy and I worked in the basement darkroom!
