electrical pasta

From time to time, "progress" requires change in the technical parts of a home or business.  I recall great (and sometimes justified) trauma while working for the state and city when computers systems or software changed.  There have been massive improvements made, but change stirs that limbo feeling in most, leaving one just a bit unsettled until normalcy returns. Thus, this email will be quick and dirty while a technician changes and updates our internet service, another part of spring cleaning.  The phoebes, broad-tailed and black chinned hummingbirds, and the blue birds will really feel it as we poke around in their nesting areas.

So here's to all the men and women out in the field who enable us to use some of the wonderful technology available these days!  Below is a photograph I took while capturing many of the individuals who built the Farmington Public Library between roughly 2003 and 2005.  Fred Cessna has an amazing face!  For the majority of the project, I used a Mamiya 1 3/4 x 2 1/4 format camera loaded with Ilford 400 HP5 Plus black and white film.  This image was scanned from a print I made on Ilford paper.

Also this week, I want to mention a wonderful workshop that will be offered in Taos by an incredible artist of many media, Gail Goodwin.  Check the Great Stuff This Week sidebar for information.

until next Monday,
