Emailing with Dan in Norway:

I read you Dan  Thanks

Gut says  "research sites that Sell online"   at least to exhaust our pipedream.

There may be sites that make sense to You.

Instagram seems like daily-boppers  not guys wit 99$.  What da i kno?

I believe You should try the contemporary places.  You are contemporary.

Follow the peeps wer they go Dan. You're a devil of a man ... 

I think Instagram is a place.

I don't have one either Bill.

Everyone (meaning 3+ people) tells me I need one. 

A place for people to quickly follow, look, comment  and fave. 

We're not following the people where they go.

Follow the peeps wer they go Dan. You're a devil of a man.  Burning sand +

Flickr is probably better for 'real'(?) connections!  Groups and stuff.

Yes Dan!​  Go Contemp!  Go Comrades!  

I'd like ta go full-frame  Hasselblad  NikonD?   some EOS.  

I need me something that'll micro  Hassel do that?

Better focus on college loan payments!

​¡ ! Go fun n games​  fer sanity  and a life worth sharing.

​Bill here    You there​    Covering the comrade world ...

Dear People.
Perspective:
Of course all lives matter, which is sadly, historically, irrelevant because
BLACK LIVES DO NOT MATTER IN OUR WORLD.
Ergo "BLACK LIVES MATTER" because they haven't and they don't.
Tragically, sadly, practically, street-wise - only white lives matter - so far.
Effective clue: I am not profiled + + + + +
Myths-Structures of class - white 'race' superiority - economics have plagued the world for centuries.
THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE OTHER.
Nasty murderous shit flows-on...
Intentionally or Not and promulgated by media-individuals-groups-church-state-tech-capitalism-art-'history' + + +
And by the beside-the-point: ALL LIVES MATTER.
THEY DON'T.
ALL LIVES MATTER lacks perspective-confuses folks-Disrespects The Black Experience +++ and rationalizes more evil acts.
Effective clue:
Can you stand in front of any black person and tell her that all lives matter.
When all lives are actually equal - perhaps all lives will actually matter.
Os, Bill

There'll never be enough hugs for You  Thanks  Os  Bill 

Tryin' to help Dan in Norway - self-teaching teacher   9 teens for folk-school class:

Your own relationship to Control-issues  Safety-issues  Health-issues   Art-issues +

Balance-Tension between Being Themselves & Being Directed-Facilitated-Taught-Lead+  & Group stuff

TENSIONS  Yin-Yang  re: Picture-Ingredients  Aesthetics  Personal-Interpersonal  Psychological +++

What can/should be Group oriented   and what Individual ?

Invent projects/assignments that facilitate these

Invent projects for 1,  2s,  3s,  whole group

Sometimes you tell them what it's about   expected   if you know  and want to tell

Sometimes your 'goals' are not concrete  or even understood   you will all find out what happens later 

Make sure they understand that they already have the quality-ingredients for valuable-poignant  visual+++ communication in their 'souls'   right now
They should understand you expect PERSONAL expressions  'solutions'  PICTURES   writing

They can evolve their tools  within themselves   and w/the techs you'll work with

If they choose to try others' 'styles'  that's hella productive way to evolve

I would have them carry a sketch-notes book   draw and write daily  their own style   looking-out   looking-in  share or not?  You see them

Drawing within a rectangle will facilitate picture framing & cropping ++++++

Writing will facilitate all kinds o' shit n' beauty

I would assign projects in the 'styles' of photographers that You love  and hate     ok, don't understand
= Evolution is going to be their business ...

I would assign 'themes' that are historically universal:  face  body  landscape 'nature'  still-life  animals  psycho-interior  surreal +++

You will evolve curriculum as you experience what's happening  for you and them

Present stuff that you love  or are curious enough about:  Include world wide art cultural historical +++

Each has a computer  so: you can see stuff together or projected 

You don't have to be an 'expert' to share what inspires you   is amazing to you

They should be invited to share what they find amazing  troubling  relevant +++

Your plans for year end Show  and individual BOOK  are crucial for Them  parents   you & the program

​This may not be crucial at all  Dan    white boy go, "HA HA"​

Os  Bill    +: 

Having an  "Overview"  &  "Lesson Plans"  actually allows for more freedom to evolve as you go

And   it reduces stress   you can always create stress if that's your thing   living on some edges is more fun

You don't want them falling down mountains     acting wanna-be in nyc   sexing w/o condoms in paris

Hey   are you protected from lawsuits if shit happens      do you hug kids in Norge

Have them sketch some historic art works   the Scream   Mona Lisa    Winged Victory   a chosen Winogrand +

Write a poem or blurb to accompany 

Choose a piece of Freud to read & discuss     Szarkowski

They can photograph stuff that 'feels' like their favorite music   their interior world  their parents' relationships  
immigration     drugs    hangin' out    their Norway   their future

How do we have fun  and pleasure    be sad   joke    love  anger  sex  alienation  together  different   ++

You'll be havin' some trips Dan  Lykkelig reiser og eventyr    

Easy fer meg   her i meg behagelig pensjonering barnestol

Funny fun for me Dan (stuff related to sales) but  I'm no under-covers  buried-jewels guy

Since 1970 Reese-Palley  John-Bill-MoMA  Fraenkel  Fischer  website  flickr  fb  bla bla  museums  shows

Me   some   family n friends  might just be way off on the my-picture-poignancy thing

​===​============

Hunting with my camera   me  I'm thinking:  
What might this look like as a picture?
I have always thought this . . .

... vey lucky me ...

Ahaaaa  it's been a year since I did my bad
For the record of mini-fiascos with bright-lining:

In May 2015 I dumbassedly pushed the wrong button
And disappeared all my picture files from Lightroom 5

I believed I was just tidyingup   emptyingout doodoo

I began salvage-adventure  after anguish

Found stuff in my Mac & hard-drive

Went to Wai and his indy M.A.C. Berkeley team   

Came home with 3,751 files  - in various states

XsOs! (as usual)

Half were 'real'  usable files  and half were 'facades'

I only realize which pictures I lost when they show up in some other context

After 7 months of editing and tweaking   over n over ...

I uploaded 900+ pictures to Flickr

And Nick & I redid my website pictures

I am so lucky   I was forced to edit  over n over n over ...

Thank The Spirits  

Os  Bill
