getting the ball rolling
Jan 4th, 2012 by admin

I thought, quite mistakenly, that I’d get back to making work soon after the arrival of our daughter. Instead, I’ve discovered its a process: combing through the backlog of unprinted work, grabbing minutes here and there to make scans, making plans for full days in the darkroom. I’ve finally wrapped my head around buying my paper in rolls (Fuji are you listening? Bring back Type Super C in sheets!) and am really ready to bring some new work to life and to make some large prints of some work that has only been work-printed. Here is a new one…

I’m also daydreaming about new projects and seriously considering buying a new used film camera. More on this as things “develop” pun fully intended.

Bob Shamis was kind enough to include me in his beautiful book, New York in Color.

I love the juxtaposition of my photograph with the classic Coney Island image by Marvin Newman!

In other news, big thanks to whomever nominated me for the Center Santa Fe Prize…I am honored and appreciative. Congratulations to winner Jessica Ingram!

Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl

I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the oceans roar
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl surfer girl

We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my woody I would take you everywhere I go
So I say from me to you
I will make your dreams come true
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl

I want to surf!

We are in the homestretch of waiting for baby’s arrival (6 weeks to go! more or less) and while I am looking forward to meeting this little person who literally lives inside of me, I have to admit mostly I have been thinking about going surfing again. Most likely this is because this is an experience I have plenty of knowledge of, whereas motherhood is a totally blank canvas for me. In my brain I know my water time will never be the same, but in my heart I just remember the feeling of bare arms slicing through water, feet on sticky wax, and the sensation of water curling over my head. I remember feeling weightless and free of the earth…
