i 've decided to include some digital photos to balance out the mood of this photoblog.
just look at it and accept it for what it is and nothing more. whoa, now i just
might get tempted to include some photos of r/c cars or even stuff that motorhead friends
send me. nah. i'll still stick to the original deal. i'm still working on the closure of this
photoblog so i can move on with newer stuff, like maybe cooking. the wife and i, loves
rachel ray on the "food network" channel. so i won't keep my dedicated viewers (and i know there are a few) hanging, i've got plenty of "onyx" negs that needs to be edited, like m.l.o. and the "grupo de gago", dukie flyswater of the "haunted garage" and other favorite "regular" subjects that i've photographed while living above the cafe.
feel free to always pay a visit.

Dated interesting article I've come across from a photohistory book, thought of sharing.
The New York Times
March 6, 1923
Steichen, one of the first masters of pictorial photography, made it quite clear when he
thought that movement was over.
No progess has been made in photography since the daguerreotype, Eduard (sic) J. Steichen,
widely known photographer and a former colonel in the photographic section of the A.E.F., said
last night. He called the soft focus lens "the most pernicious influence in the pictorial world,"
and bitterly criticized "the movement in fuzziness" now vogue among supposedly artistic
photographers. He spoke at a meeting of the Pictorial Photographers of America, at their
exhibition at the Art center, 63 [or 65?] East Fifty-sixth Street.
According to Mr. Steichen, since photography is an objective art, a photographer is supposed
to take things as they are, without injecting his personality into the picture. In the days of the
daguerreotype so many difficulties surrounded camera artists, he said, that they were satisfied
to get any kind of an exact reproduction. Mr. Steichen urged a return to the sharp pictures and
praised "the meticulous accuracy of the camera."
"I don't care about making photography an art," said Mr. Steichen. "I want to make good photographs. I'd like to know who first got it in his head that dreaminess and mist is art.
Take things as they are; take good photographs and the ART WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF."
