Now let’s get down to business.. Anyone here shot 4x5 of 200 sleepy Prep School Seniors outdoors in March ? Explosives being wired deeper under the earth’s surface than Titanic rests below the surface of the Atlantic ? Non ? Shot 2,500 images, constantly moving indoor 65f & outdoor 110f Dubai + TimeLapse & Broadcast Video & in choppers, boats ie salt sands & sanitary kitchens .. No ? And at 6 AM next day - present Selects at Breakfast with end Client & Agency - then repeat with different locations etc etc etc.. HDR ? How about getting that equipment through Special Services & Customs and clearing out the Departure Security Zone when a size large Tarantula abandons your carry on full of LaCie Rugged Drives ? Or talking your way out of why you set off Explosives Alarms in Atlanta due to residue your diddybag picked up when you put it down on the dirt outside a giant Chemical ‘Cracker’ tower being scaled with micro explosives ? How’s your HDR doing ?
My ‘point’ ? Sometimes mebbe be grateful ‘for what you have - not what you wish you had’ - some fleeting nuance or ‘previsioneering’ a la grey scale . You think there’s a grey scale when you’re the shooter in the mosh & Red Hot Chili Peppers come out with only tube socks on their dicks .. and your chest cavity & body organs are turning to mush ?
Yesterday I posted two images via Notes - clues to an astonishing body of work by Moises Levy at moiseslevy.com & those clues received a Grand Total of 3 Likes & 1 Restack.. After 1/2 century of shooting, printing.. etc etc.. got to say I’m blown away dispirited - is this simply a ‘structural or dysfunctional issue here’ - a failure of ‘algorithmics’ ?
In summary... a failure in many things, the least of which is algorithmics. Ponder that people willing submit themselves to significant portions of their day to tik-tok or however it's spelled. In "A clockwork orange" weren't restraints required to subject the test subject to the same sort of mindless random media?
.. way overdue for revisiting Clockwork Orange.. as well as re-read of Animal Farm & 1984 not to mention Fahrenheit (haha 2024’ & Brave New World & also The Manchurian Candidate.. Am less & less inclined these dayz to ‘cut people some slack’ for ‘Binary Thinking’ as if there’s any actual ‘thinking’ involved
