5 Churches Homework

[Curt]

I'm constantly cleaning cleaning cleaning, doing the dishes and more dishes, I was feeling demoted in life and mentioned the house work to my Dentist, he said doing the dishes was one of his jobs at home. I thought if my Dentist has to do the dishes then why complain. It's been better now.

On the Tonopah workshop I flew to Las Vegas and literally decided on the camera the night before. I hope to do better this time. The weather is changing so much around here the darkroom either needs some heat or some air conditioning. When it moderates a little I'm back in there but if it doesn't I'll pull the night shift when it's cool.

Not sure if Per or any of you saw this yet: http://www.aspaceforfaith.com

Kind of timely in a sense considering you're photographing New Mexico houses of worship.

Sure wish I could join you ...

The camera was never in question for me but the lens selection was actually what i meant would be desided on the night before. Wide angles i think will be primary for me but need to have a little of everything which is a problem when flying to NM.
I was thinking about driving which would make it so much easier since i could bring much more gear but in the end i think it is healthy not to have to much.

JPL,Thats my thoughts also,The more lens and camera's the more decisions that have to be made .No matter how much you take its never enough,so decided on less and just walk a little more.

There's nothing like flying to help cut down on the excess.

hi mark

if you want to understand piet mondrian
look up theosophy. his post-representational paintings
were all based on theosophy, right angles, primary colors, right angles
purity truth and harmony. he was very involved in the de stijl movement
( think bauhaus but dutch ) ... and like many of the art movements
from the years around ww1 it was a reaction to the state of the political-world
and a revolt against the old art-world.
the religious movement he was active in ( theosophy ) is still around today.

Neoplasticism is his creation and painting became a "devotional" experience.


Knowing the Tenets is essential to understanding his art.

•Coloration must be in the primary colors of red, blue and yellow or the noncolors of black, gray and white.
•Surfaces must rectangular planes or prisms.
•Aesthetic balance must be achieved and this is done through the use of opposition.
•Compositional elements must be straight lines or rectangular areas.
•Symmetry is to be avoided.
•Balance and rhythm are enhanced by relationships of proportion and location.
