<br />
I don't really have a lot to say, well at least for the entire world to read...not that many people viewed this blog to begin with... I am just a man of few words, and am starting to really come to terms with keeping my life private.<br />
<br />
This blog will stay up, as long as it remains free to do so...but posting will come to an end. <br />
<br />
I have created a tumblr to post daily photographs and musical inspirations to...which you can follow either through my website: (<a href="http://www.mdominguezjr.com/">www.mdominguezjr.com</a> - Daily) or directly through tumblr (<a href="http://mdominguezjr.tumblr.com/">http://mdominguezjr.tumblr.com</a>)<br />
<br />
Also if you would like to keep in touch, send me a postcard... (if you put your own address on it you may get something special in return)<br />
<br />

Thank you.<br />

That kind of disappointment can be soul-crushing; it can change a person into someone they themselves don’t like, if they’re still even capable of seeing themselves clearly. The biggest challenge is to resist turning the hurt inward and creating permanent damage to your character, or turning it outward, creating harm to others. The biggest danger is that you won’t resist and thereby become a smaller person than you might have been." - <a href="http://www.terrain.org/interview/28/">Frank Gohlke</a></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00549315271904514157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545633900669113043.post-86020500833929642972012-04-11T13:02:00.001-04:002012-04-11T13:08:41.560-04:00Test Print.<div style="text-align: left;">

She asked some really awesome questions and it was a fun time (and by fun i mean nerve-wracking) putting together some halfway intelligble answers for her. If you have a minute or two to spare you should check it out here at the Revolver Blog: <a href="http://www.revolversf.com/blogs/news/">http://www.revolversf.com/blogs/news/</a><br />
<br />
And I suggest following her and that blog because she is a GREAT writer!<br />

Oh and this is a photo I took of her way back when...<br />

"I was at a loss with the subject luminance values, and I confess I was thinking about bracketing several exposures, when I suddenly realized that I knew the luminance of the moon – 250 c/ft2. Using the Exposure Formula, I placed this luminance on Zone VII; 60 c/ft2 therefore fell on Zone V, and the exposure with the filter factor o 3x was about 1 second at f/32 with ASA 64 film. I had no idea what the value of the foreground was, but I hoped it barely fell within the exposure scale. Not wanting to take chances, I indicated a water-bath development for the negative.<br />
<br />
Realizing as I released the shutter that I had an unusual photograph which deserved a duplicate negative, I swiftly reversed the film holder, but as I pulled the darkslide the sunlight passed from the white crosses; I was a few seconds too late!" - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansel_Adams">Ansel Adams</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00549315271904514157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545633900669113043.post-39412211083756510562012-02-15T10:23:00.000-05:002012-02-15T10:23:51.719-05:00Irises.via: <a href="http://fansinaflashbulb.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/ernst-hasss-flowers-portfolio/">fans in a flashbulb</a><br />

<br />
"the project is loosely structured around the themes of the Odyssey, presenting an epic story about journey and homecoming. For ten years Strauss installed her annual I-95 exhibition in South Philadelphia which she describes as an “epic narrative about the beauty and struggle of everyday life.” The Billboard Project represents another telling of that narrative"<br />
<br />
Billboard number 1, is located not only on the corner of where I live, it is also located on the corner where I first encountered a Zoe Strauss print back in 2002/2003. It was a photograph glued to a piece of wood and nailed to a pole on the corner of Passyunk and Reed. This photograph led me to more of her work, which led me to admiring her work, which led me to contacting her in regards to an internship, which she accepted, which led to a long friendship which continues to this day. <br />
<br />
Zoe has been not only a mentor and inspiration to me, she has been a great and generous friend. She is Philadelphia to me, her and her family have always welcomed me with open arms, and they've helped me to view Philadelphia as my second home.<br />
<br />
On a personal level, this photograph at this location. brings tears to my eyes. From a small photograph on a piece of wood nailed to a pole, to a giant billboard, a 10 year retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art....I could not be more proud of you Zoe!<br />

I have a great regard for certain notions of beauty even though to some it is an old fashioned idea. Some photographers think that by taking pictures of human misery, they are addressing a serious problem. I do not think that misery is more profound than happiness." - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Leiter">Saul Leiter</a><br />
