I may be dormant for long periods and then explode for hours... but I pay heed to nothing but my own creations for the most part.

After spending years here, on and off... I have met, retained or lost good virtual friends.

The psychology of this place sometimes really messes with my head, but that may be only a self actualized feeling.

Despite the new fee's and lack of "print" account features, even after paying for the "pro" features years back... I am staying...

Although... dormant I may lie.

School is back in session so I must pay heed to it... otherwise I will loose my ability to gain Financial Aid back and better my future.

Much love to all

Dan

How can peace be brought when we are tied in a knot?

Oh tell me what lives when we have forgot

That we are all one

Now here in this mess that we have solely wrought.

I want to be able to gracefully design my journal but time
does not
allow me to. Or is it perseverance.

But alas... I have only normal things going on.

Graphic Design Associates Degree in the process.
Relationship crap.
Time.
Computer problems.
Always something that has to be done.
Going to work to early in the morning when the night time is when I create the best and am tired or stay up and feel like crap the next day.
Control or lack there of.
So
Everything else seems to fall into place whether it is one side of the wall or the other. Eventually.

Maybe I will share some Design Fundamentals projects... maybe I will not. Depends on time and energy.

So. Nothing profound to say.

Much care to all.

I feel a whirlwind about to emerge.

If there are those even still wondering... "where is he and what is he doing...?"

Voice your concerns for in a week I will be back full force.

My business here is taking a push to roll the stone across low ground. I grunt and bear many difficult situations. I yell within myself of frustrations and wonder when it ("it" can be defined in many ways) is going to happen - all while I tread uphill or choose to push bolder rock (the ambitious goals that load me) to the next groove I have dug in the ground to hold it. I have no help but my own. I get help, but only know there are more grooves when I get such said help. ((SCREAM)).

So there you have it, abstract and unknown to you.

I go off to start the race to my goals. They never end... but to find a happy moment would be a pleasure to hear from those who still read me.

I am currently in a space of thoughts that do not compute.

Gathering info... and moving forward.

This situation that I am in is not stable... but I am being abstract on purpose.

Hope to visit more often but I am hearing that DA is not as good as it used to be... virtual sociological issues that are common these days. Online infancy and adolescence. Pre teen mentality. There a muture ones but so far between the oft lost individuals who have no idea of the implications of their words, we get lost in temporary distractions.

I digress...

And here I am... early in the morn like I used to be.

Four more weeks and I will move to Madison WI and aquire High Speed Internet. For those of you who dont know... I have been mostly mute because of dial up and loading anything on Dev Art. Again, I will YELL FORTH that DIAL UP SUCKS! Stating the obvious.

Blinds reflecting light and slightly open...
Eyes... lids half open...

There is a calm amongst all of this noise.
An awakening.

I enjoy thinking again.

School has commenced. Econ. Accelerated class.

Stress that I enjoy.

Hope all bodes well for those whom I have not spoke to here.

Days are getting cold again. Lit up a fire in the fireplace and it was warm and cozy.

Life is always a roller coaster for me. I want it to stop for a second to smell the roses... before it all passes me by.

I cant stop worrying. But yet when I do it is such beauty.

It bothers me but it is my own fault.
I cannot wait till I explode with creativity.
Do you know of what I speak?

I have so many things to do that time seems a hidden treasure. What time I have I may end up staying up late but then know that the next day I will be tired so I am somewhat weak in mind and body and the day not full. Yet my soul doth shine.

I have so many things I want to do...

I think and hope come late August into September...

Things start...

Has anyone read Fernando Pessoa? I find this author intriguing to say the least. This Man has heteronyms: not one pseudonym but many. He writes in a style that may almost fit in a journal. It may be more his organizational skills in real life that reflects a journal style. Many characters this man portrays as if it where he...

What has been the catalyst, is mostly the black and white print quality. Which in turn makes me wonder of the color print quality as well. Color seems ok... but can it be better? Perhaps it is just me... the black and white photographs ended up having a purple/violet hue to them.

I may be back.

I may not.

We shall see.

I am pleased to say that DA handled the situation with my prints excellently. It appears that the print error was an isolated incident. They sent me all new prints. Wonderful service. I will continue to use DA.

Before I step any further in the completion of my series "Of Noise and Film Grain", I need your help in deciding if I should replace the following photos. The completion being to display the pictures on walls.

The idea behind the whole series is to convey a feeling of depth within the film grain or noise. I cant explain yet exactly as to why the grain sparks interest in me. A feeling just warms up inside me thinking of the picture and how its going to turn out before the picture is captured and then the reward of seeing it. Its almost as if it is the lure of the antitheses to the super sharp digital (and even some film) pictures. A softening yet roughness in its own way that captures my inner eye to certain beauty. A true black and white picture. But, we can define that statement in many ways...

What I am asking of you: Please look at the compostitions when and if you have time. Tell me if these compositions just dont fit in accordance to the rest. No holds bared. I wont be offended in any way and want to know your opinions. Set aside your kindness if need be. Criticize!


The first in the series... Im not so sure about the grain... compostion... eh...


Second... to cliche... or even... amateur?


Third... blah?

The other pictures in the series (#4-9 as seen on my DA gallery) seem good to me, but if you would think differently, please let me know. I am open)

Thanks for any help. I am going to attempt to display these locally ... its kinda big for me... because I have never done nor tried that before. Any help is appreciated while I delve into this new territory. Im kinda nervous/anxious and cautious.

Much Peace in your endeavors.

I have finished my series "Of Noise and Film Grain". My words fall empty and discouraged. For one passion of mine,
the depths of Black and White photography, fall prey to a minute space on a website...

SO I say, they will be walled.. either to my abode or hopefully a shop of some sort to display amongst the populace.

Update- 12/15/04 -
I have so little time. The holidays are driving me nuts.

I will be submiting 4 of 20 from my series "Of Noise and Film Grain" hopefully tonight, for I will be gone starting tomorrow and back late on Sunday evening. I cant promise any response from me right away so I apologize in advance. Not that I will have that many comments anyhow (the people that do; thank you so much for taking the time and sharing your comments- I will get back to you in time).

Much love and care. Hope all is well...

--Only got to one submission... to tired---

--------------------------------------

It is amazing... but I have been inspired by a slight flaming here on DA on a recent submission of mine. All after I had deleted my submissions out of frustration, and started fresh, do I get a snide remark that changed my outlook on things. I will not say who or what... but that I am thankfull to have stumbled upon this inspiration.

It will all be film grain. Grain grain grain. And the spaces inbetween. We over appreciate such digitized images (pictures taken by digital cameras, specificaly) and may be somewhat spoiled by the ever so candy like cleanliness of modern picture technologies that we loose site to what is "real" and analog/chemical. By no means am I saying that digital is awful or does not have a place. It is very much a beautiful and useful thing. Nor am I a film snob. I dont know half as much as some of you do, but I do learn as the days go by, and everytime I open a book or pick someones mind.

My goal is to have at least 20 11x14 prints made and hung locally. Something I have been meaning to do for a long time and its about time. I have not decided if I will marry both film and digital process (scanning). We shall see. Im not sure if any developer around here has an enlarger or not... but that would be the prefered way.

For now, enjoy the noise...

"The Silence" series I just submited was, to me... marginal in quality. I just didnt have the exposures down right for the Infrared film... maybe its just that I need to adjust to the new filter? The shots are heavily underexposed (which I usuly like somewhat underexposed... but these where extreme)... Im not even sure I should keep them posted... try and try again I suppose...

I shot a roll of infra red Today. Will probably not have it in my hands for a week or so... should prove interesting... I actually wasted an exposure on myself as well...

trees... and mood lighting from the clouds. faint back... into the light....

I have finally purchased the correct filter (Cokin a007 89B) for IR, so it should be better than the pictures that I have taken with the regular Red R2 filter. Albeit those turned out ok... but I had to underexpose them more than usual.

Other interesting things should come soon as well. Cant say what yet... but it is here...

From a silent October midnight
a porchview of lamp lit windows
trailing smoke
(I kiss the crisp air)
and alas the illusion of loneliness arrives as my friend

The leaves they rain from the trees
and utter stories like falling footsteps
and once again I hear the silent song
Trail beyond their color'd death

I am here again, in melencholy
and feel the burn of ignorance uninformed
it keeps me warm for the chill does not penetrate

I go on and lay weary down to sleep
and dream not of many things but
singularities

PROBLM SOLVED

I have received the answers

Basic prints is in Beta Testing. Hence the problems.... so... the solution: get a print account.

I plan on getting a print account very soon.

I have submited my first prints... and both where rejected. I uploaded both pictures at the resolution of 7200 x 4800 which has, as far as I understand it, a ratio of 1.5:1. I included a 1/4" border for bleed.... no luck... tried twice. I cant think of what I am doing wrong... the only thing I can think of is that ...

(Basic) Devprints is just not working right.

So... im just looking for some answers and maybe some of you that have the "10%" deal though regular membership may be able to assist me.

Maybe after all, my pictures and everything that I have learned really are not that good. Im not really looking for reassurance but just plain honesty. I dont care how harsh because I want to know... should I really persue photography more?

Much love to all! ]]> ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1851345/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1851345/ Sun, 15 Feb 2004 18:22:54 PST READING: Shakespeare, Alls Well That Ends Well. II.iii.1-6
listening to: Celtic music on the radio (chieftans at the moment... I wannnt!)

Ever read just a paragraph of something and have to put the book down?

Lafeu: "They say miracles are past, and we have our philosophical persons to make modern and familiar things supernatural and causeless. Hence is it that we make trifles of terrors, ensconcing ourselves into seemimg knowledge when we should sumit ourselves to an unknown fear."

Strange how Shakespeare (1564-1616) can translate so far into the future which is now our present. ]]> ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1825776/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1825776/ Tue, 10 Feb 2004 22:21:54 PST ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1820868/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1820868/ Mon, 09 Feb 2004 22:43:59 PST
This goes to show how far behind I am (or...lazy...or lacking the time... or surfing DA too much). I am going to submit some pics that are from last month (thats not bad, considering I have piles of film that has not even been scanned yet from years ago). The digital cam that I borrow from work sometimes takes over and I neglect scanning in my slides...

I like the ease and instant gratification of the Canon D60 or any dig. cam. for that matter but unless one is going to spend $6500-$15000 us dollars on a medium format 11-22 megapixel cam, I still like film--the best for its smooth quality and roundlike resolution. 6 megapixel just dosnt cut it to the edge... but I will sacrifice for convenience.

SO dont mind me while I pontificate and submit some 0's and 1's in an artly fashion. ]]> ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1805058/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1805058/ Fri, 06 Feb 2004 18:01:10 PST ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1801255/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1801255/ Thu, 05 Feb 2004 22:28:44 PST ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1785016/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1785016/ Mon, 02 Feb 2004 19:55:13 PST ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1709305/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1709305/ Mon, 19 Jan 2004 21:39:28 PST
Like sitting in the middle of the road.

Cross legged.

I can see the double yellow lines through my legs.

I can hear the cars rushing by.

There you go, and you, and you, and you...

Another day... ]]> ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1698746/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1698746/ Sun, 18 Jan 2004 02:12:46 PST and again I shall predict that
the sun doth rise before I may close my eyes.

My look had fallen upon her beauty
and she was a breath away from me.
No touch but hands and a gentle shake.

I had danced the night away
we inched closer by the way
but left I was on the floor "alone".

Again I take this heavey heart
again, to my bed alone.

I do not ache for the primal move
but more a throbe for the warmth of touch.

Oh my dear, yes another lament.
How... oh how and why... ]]> ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1692769/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1692769/ Fri, 16 Jan 2004 22:14:30 PST ~quixoticsage http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1686228/ http://quixoticsage.deviantart.com/journal/1686228/ Thu, 15 Jan 2004 17:12:17 PST One cannot find Zen
by looking for it.

Zen Does not exist in the mind
but in an absence of the mind.


It is dark sometimes
Light other times
Heavy
lite
Loud
Quite
silence is only one answer
but is there really any answers?


-
Just random thoughts and reflections. I know I may have heard this somewhere before? Perhaps from the subconscious energy flow. Yo.
