the blues of the otherwise successful modern man, who goes out every night and dances alone in his head

i used to say that the 17ht of july must have had some cosmic meaning to it. on this date, i:
was drafted
moved out of my parents house
moved out of my house in Jerusalem
and a few other things happened on other years.
i guess this date doesnt really mean anything.

most likely the best frame i shot this year. too bad theres only a half of it.

good things happen when the threat of RISD MFA is lifted


Color services in needham, use some kind of standard dip and dunk film processor, in which the sheet film is loaded by clamping it on to a metal frame. the clamps leave a distinct 5 puncture hole mark on the negative. the last 2 times i processed film there, and one other time when i got the same service from panorama, all the negatives were damaged. the negatives were so uneven it was crazy, shifting from magenta to green across a single plate. a large area around where the clamps hold the negative have some kind of halo of different density and color. i dont understand, when serious photographers used to send in their plates, was it also like this? or is it because today, only stupid like me actually shoot sheet film, and hence can be treated like stupid poeple and given these results as normal?

trepidation




I cant think of anything i want to do less then to go to israel. it scares me. i am scared of being asked israeli style security questions that to any other israeli or ex israeli might sound perfectly normal, but for me would most likely mean a night in a detention center and deportation. i am scared of not being able to wittingly cope with the all quirks and plain stupid things that make israel and israelis what they are. i have a feeling this will be the last time i ever visit israel, if i am to judge by these pre visit anxieties. why would any person in their right mind, or even ones that are moderately insane put them selves through this nonsense?
i am sucker, like all the rest, and i paying the price for everything i ever did, and alot of other things i did not do, but am responsible for with my existence.
