i was just cruising around the old interweb and came across Absntr's site....I have to say I am amazed by his pictures...and have recently become my desktop background...it seems to me that there must be a direct corellation between riding fixed and being talented and artistic. I just wanted to throw it out there at how impressed i was by Absntr's work....keep it up
BTW How many other photodogs do we have in here. I can admit to being one myself, however amature I never take of without my camera...

I have been inspired by his work for a while. He does great design work as well.

I design microchips.
That's not very artistic... I can play my trumpet pretty loudly, though, that's artistic, right?

I used to take pictures, but I moved to LA and lost all my friends.

giving an artistic shoutout to WeedEater, great graphic design. I can understand why your clients would want to continue doing business with you after you move to Portland, Oregon.

Did you ever make a print based on the one photo of mine?
I am a photographer, and a rather obsessed one at that. My sh*t can be found here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidrmunson/).
I also dig Naz's work and check it regularly.

Yes, i just found a decentish print (sold one, kept one, gave 2 away as gifts and the rest were off register) and was just telling Josh that i want your address to mail you a print. PM me.
Also, i really like your sawmill worker photo (among others).
I'm interested in doing a series of paintings of blue collar workers. Go out, photograph them and paint them.
**** ya.

yes... the spheres are nice
i love that the colors in a lot off her photos are really creamy (said like smush "its creaaaaammmmyyy)
nice to see so many "voices" out there. I believe if we ever needed to put an army together, we could load up buses of drunk raiders fans! I do believe we, as 2d capture anthropologists, we are collectively capable of changing the world. power to the people.

The last one is Pshoped. They aren't KKK though, they are Catholic Brotherhoods in Southern Spain. They predate the KKK by a few hundred years, the outfits where used for protection during the times of plague.

count me in on a print exchange as well, i've enjoyed looking at people's work on linked sites...thanks! i was thinking of making a similar post, but for whatever reason hadn't done so...
may i up the ante??
i own a brick and mortar art gallery, and although shows are booked through mid spring, perhaps we could have a juried group show from BF contributors in late spring/early summer. its a small, contemporary gallery in new mexico called bivouac artspace. if you click here (http://bivouacartspace.org) you can see a temporary home page while i'm workin' out the bugs for a proper site. more info? interested? PM me or attach some image files to an e-mail at the address noted at the gallery splash page.
if you come with work, we will indeed roll!!!!
oh yeah, TimeZer0 - you should check out David Levinthal's work if you are unfamiliar with it...
both using toys as well as polaroid (although a 20x24 not a SX-70)
and FugaziDave you might check out Nathan Lyons, especially "Riding First Class on the Titanic", seems you would appreciate his sensibility, humor, and the tonal range of his prints...
anyone else for a print exchange? speak now... photographs, non-silver, screenprinting, whatever.

I'm an amateur photog also.. I've had a couple photos published, but I certainly don't make a living from it. And I've yet to be part of a show of any sort.
Any more flickrites on here? I just added two of you to my contacts..
Here's my page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wes/
Not much in the last few months except photos from my time in Europe this Spring/Summer. I've been shooting my Holga lately but haven't gotten any of the film processed yet.

I point lights at things for money. I retired my aesthetic sense a few years ago, when I realized I wasn't using it.

love absenter's site, just checked it out again
the tragically beautiful (http://www.absenter.org/2005/06/02/tragically_beautiful/) photo is my favorite
I don't even know the right terminology to describe his aesthetic, but it's perfect
great with colors as well
(naz, please consider cinematography someday--seriously)
