ALL MY PHOTOS ARE NOW ON SALE!


I've talked about going back at old photos, re-editing them...but I swear, it's a blast. Sitting on this one for a decade, this edit is so much better than I'd left it, way back when. It was slightly blown-out, back then I didn't know how to restore a photo's highlights, or that I could play with the saturation a bit, rather than rely on color temp...the edit I had sitting on my computer, so much was lost to the shadows, put those back...I guess I understand why George Lucas went and put better special effects into the original Star Wars films, I get it, I see photos of mine come up here on Flickr, I do wish I could re-edit a bunch, but it's memory as much as a discrete piece of art, a reminder of where my skills were at the time.

If I'd already posted this, I'd have felt the urge, but would've left it.

Fortunately, I didn't, so I didn't!

Her name is Mrs. Nghien. She is 95 years old and lives in Nam Dinh, north Vietnam. She is retired now, but worked for many years as a silk spinner. She took raw silk fibers and spun them into spools of yarn to supply the local silk textile factories. On a humid afternoon we visited her humble abode, and she brought out her antiquated silk spinning wheel and went right to work. Her hands deftly plucking the silk fibers like she was playing a musical instrument, and then her eyes turned glassy as she spun the wheels. Perhaps as the wheels turned her mind went back in time to a day many decades ago when she was a young woman making her livelihood creating spools of silk yarn. How many times have the wheels of time turned since then? What happened to all those years?

“...time was not passing...it was turning in a circle...”
― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
