Selling

 I did a little organizing to sell.  Cleaned out the shelf that had the prints, I need to make a system of organizing the prints.  Organizing that shit is important

I also want to work on some new prints.  Printing them for now. I've got a good supply of new work, at least done for now.  But I'm not as satisified with the scanning as I thought I'd be. For enlarging them.  I'm sure professionally, it would be done much better, but for what I've got now, including the limited knowledge, I'm going to try photographing the images, and printing them, to see if I can get better images.

I also started painting the stands.  At the end of the day, I'll have to sell  photographs for the moment.  I don't know if I can sell in this place or that.  I don't know if I'll get arrested.  But I'm going to have to not just sell in NYC.  I'll also have to sell in other places, closer to here.  Mt Kisko, Cross-whatever.  They've got a lot of high earning spots here.  I could set up at the train stations... 

I want to see what stock I have available.  Chapel of Ease, Chair on the front porch, Several of the quand memes... Get the business cards ready

So yeah, make a list of all the images, and how many I have.

In any case, right now I'm fucking with the quand memes

customized clocks

 I've found some sources for customized clocks.  This is what keeps going through my head for 'the fugitive night', which I keep changing the name of.

American flag

 I've been playing with an american flag in my mind.  As a theme for a quand meme piece.  it lends itself, as any country would, to this kind of portrayal.

As an early notion, I've would like for it to be transparent, or translucent one.

a passage.  Just looked up a synonym for journey, and found this word, passage.

other quand meme narratives

 I'm listening to madvillain, and it occurs to me that I don't have to be limited, in the scope or narrative of a quand meme, to nudes.  I can build a narrative off of random events.

In fact I was thinking of when he says, '500 just layin in the street.  Shit, I just wanted something to eat…'

Or something to that effect.

Using archival footage, not unlike moby or a rap producer uses samples. 

I suppose in this respect, the image of the boy and the horse can work, in 'while the night taper burns'

 However, I am trying to make perfect pieces.

Speaking of things, I need to work on my site.  

The thing about the boy and the horse, in while the night taper burns, is that the threshold. I like the idea of the outline, like the scrub away of the girl's shoulder i did for the soho girls,  back in 98 or whenever it was, but

sfumato

 I was browsing and came across a technique used by leonardo da vinci called sfumato. This should be, or else some approach similar could be used in 'the last night drive' where I'm trying to place the model in the event.  Her edges are giving me problems

Technique

The technique is a fine shading meant to produce a soft transition between colours and tones, in order to achieve a more believable image. It is most often used by making subtle gradations that do not include lines or borders, from areas of light to areas of dark. The technique was used not only to give an elusive and illusionistic rendering of the human face, but also to create rich atmospheric effects. Leonardo da Vinci described the technique as blending colours, without the use of lines or borders "in the manner of smoke"

also, aeriel perspective.  Anbother technique another technique he used in the mona lisa. is the setting of the horizon.  In the mona lisa, he placed it at eye level, which adds to the provocative nature

nightbloom faery

 Going to do some more work from this branch.  I like the sky, the foam and the sparkles.  I need a bit more work on the girl.  Want to surround the image in waves
