Thanks for sharing that link about the pop-up newsletters, was a little eye opening and very useful! I love the term, definitely lots to think about now.
P.S This project looks amazing, looking forward to spending a lil more time with it
Ameena, my pleasure. I was thinking about you when I wrote the bit about newsletters as you have three under your name here on Substack and I'm thinking of starting a new one. I also have nascent ideas about doing posts for paid subscribers in between open ones...
I hope you could perhaps come to see this project during October. We are well overdue an in-person catchup.
What I love the most about this is how you’ve subverted the number one cardinal rule we learn in darkroom classes: “take care of your negatives!”
Many old schoolers might balk but your concept is embedded in our current reality and really makes us question what the role of photography and art will be going forward with the climate crisis.
Most importantly, the photos are beautiful! So often these days, people come up with a strong concept only to execute it haphazardly. I appreciate your dedication to craft and technique.
Thank you Gui, I really appreciate your analysis and kind comment. I will admit there was at least one person who openly winced every time I mentioned this project or the destroyed negative came up. But it was intrinsic to the project.
