I moved to Philadelphia in 2006, and before moving here took a lot of photographs of the people and places that made up my community. After relocating to the big city, I found myself unable to make the same kinds of images. I wasn't from Philadelphia, I didn't know how to approach those things I saw on the streets. Conscious of my outside perspective and my outsider status, I took my personal work to the studio. It was a good move for me, though my interest in street photography lives on. Now, I like to see how others are able to do it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Since living in Philly, there have been photographers here making big headlines for the work they've completed in the neighborhood. Most notably, the work of Zoe Strauss. Strauss is born and raised Philadelphia, so the work, in a way, seems right and just. That being said, I am always left wanting more when viewing Strauss work. Asking myself who are the people in the photographs, and more, are the hard-luck portraits made of them helpful or hurtful?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was turned onto Jeffrey Stockbridge, and his series Kensington Blues by a student of mine. Stockbridge works more like a Jim Goldberg, with his series chronicling those he comes across in the Kensington neighborhood via photographic works and interviews. Stockbridge talks to the people, he transcribes their stories, we are given more information. I enjoy the information. I enjoy hearing the individuals voice. It makes me feel less like I am taking from them as a viewing audience, makes me feel less like a voyeur. It feels more fair. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Being a photographer myself, I know what the camera can do, the potential for it to take away from its subject. It is an argument I have with myself and photographs at large, often. Stockbridge helped me to articulate the side of the argument I am on. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Plus, I live in a row home right down the street from many of his shots.; so there is that sensation - oh! look ma! We're on TV!. </div>

New Works by Tamsen Wojtanowski; March 2012 @ Napoleon</div>
<br />
Employing
the photographic medium to explore an abstract narrative, I work in the
studio to give my psyche form. Emotions become made of paper; dreams
evolve as constructed landscapes made from found materials; disparate
thoughts become one in the overlapping layers of collage. In this series
"imprint, Lost/Found -or- 'To make a long story short, I love you.'", I
work to find my way through a series of handmade "maps", which become
cyanotype prints made from cliche verre, and document my destinations
with a series of B&W photographs. </div>

One of the first classes I taught out of graduate school was a course called "Photo Process Workshop". In the course students learned a variety of alternative and experimental processes, including cynaotype, van dyke brown, cliche verre, modern tinype, book binding, appropriation, installation, ...the list goes on and on. Anyway, we all know what old photographic processes look like - they look <i>old.</i> I needed them to not look old, but new and exciting! to draw students in.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />I scoured the internet and was rewarded for my time with these beauties by Elin O'Hara Slavick - not only a contemporary artist, but cyanotypes with CONTENT! It was like dream come true. </div>

Cyanoytpes are made by contacting printing either negative or object, meaning you place what it is you want to capture right on top of the sensitized material and let the sun make your exposure. What you get in return in less a photograph of the image, as we understand photographs, and more of an X-Ray of the image, in this case an image called a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogram" target="_blank">Photogram</a>. A photogram simply meaning a photographic image made without a camera.</div>

Elin O'Hara Slavick created these cyanotypes at The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in 2008, using objects donated to the museum by A-Bomb survivors.<br />
<br />
As an individual some generations removed from this event, trying to wrap my head around the reality of the atomic bombing is tough. Rather than thinking about it as violence, carnage, heavy metal, and anger - as I tend to think about war - in the present, these cyanotypes deliver the heavier truth, war in the past tense. War as loss, as absence, as silence.<br />
<br />
While researching contemporary artists working with the cyanotype process, I also came across the work of <a href="http://robinhill.ucdavis.edu/professional/cyanotype/cyanotype.html" target="_blank">Robin Hill</a>, she says something very insightful about the process, saying "cyanotypes show the <i>potential</i> of an object." Right - so instead of seeing an object in a photograph in the same way we see an object in life, the light bouncing off of the objects surface, in the use of the cyanotype process, the contact print/photogram, we see the light that passes <i>through </i>the object. ...We see not what is, we see more, we see - the <i>potential</i>.<br />

I got interested in the Photographic Process, beyond photography itself, when I got interested in experimental and alternative ways of making photographic images. Thinking about what went into the process, what you could change in the process, what that shift would create - - - - how much more (or less) artistic control you may (or may not) have - - - fascinating. <br />

While in Japan, Slavick experimented with other alternative photographic processes as well. Below are examples of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frottage_%28art%29" target="_blank">frottages </a>(rubbings), Slavick made of different elements in the museum. Thinking again how to capture the reality of the A-Bomb, Slavick made rubbings of a bank floor (above) and a fir tree (below), then used the rubbings like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliche_verre" target="_blank">cliche verre</a> (handmade negatives) to make contact prints onto B&W silver gelatin paper. ...</div>

Bravo's floor tile took me to letterpress journals, to floating scarves, to books of frabric samples, takes me back to - floor tiles. <br />
<br />
I was lucky enough a few years back to study philosophy in Italy for a few weeks (what up Lacan!), even luckier was when it was all over I still had parts of my brain intact and a couple of extra weeks to do all those things of the body that philosophy seems to discredit (or at the very least ignore). Eating and sleeping my way across the Italian countryside, I got off a regional train on the side of the road outside of the coastal town of Amalfi, walked down seven hundred and fifty steep concrete steps, and when i finally reached the street below - looked up to see the biggest display of decorative tile I could ever imagine.</div>

If you love The Real housewives of New Jersey as much as I do, this might not seem too out of place, but believe me - this was something special. While I waited patiently at the bus stop to take me to the sea side (the other side) of the mountain, I thought to myself - back splash- geometric design or landscaoe?</div>

That musing on tile patterns didn't last long, as it turned out, while laying in the Mediterranean sun, I got pretty home sick. I didn't want any more caprese salads, and opted instead for a good ol'back home cheeseburger and chocolate milkshake. The only problem being that the only milkshake I could find was on the alcoholic drink menu, and I had to explain to a very confused waiter that I wanted it without the shot of Kaluha and no rum either. The cheeseburger was square instead of a circle and I could taste a hint of alcohol in the milkshake, both taking me away from the childhood memories I was trying to rest in. The saving grace of that meal: A man at a nearby table asks the waiter where his heart is. The waiter does not hesitate and places a hand on his chest, "here."<br />
<br />
JFK might not have been so glad to see me, filthy from an all night plane ride, but I couldn't wait to use the bathroom there and get back on good ol'back home Interstate - 95. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The inspiration for this post came from a few different directions. Last week The Sea celebrated a birthday. Let's just say I "put off" (read: kind of forgot) birthday shopping until way way late. Luckily beautiful girls make it easy to buy them beautiful things. The Sea loves the aesthetic of life. If The Sea could have one of everything in a simple repeating pattern and a vintage inspired modern color - I bet she would trade her pitbull's first born for the chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She would've loved a set of these letterpress journals from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/pistachiopress">Pistachio Press</a> pictured above, unlucky for her my only shopping options were by foot and Etsy ordering (and waiting for delivery) was out of the question.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So that was the first inspiration for today's post - the second:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been armpit and over head deep in the studio these days, contemplating my navel, your navel, the way I see things, the way you see things, and how these things might all be connected. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thinking about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatism">Automatism</a>, I thought about auto-blog-ism. By following the thin thread in my head, over the next week of posts, I will display this feat of human intellect and inqury, here, now, at The Mountain and The Sea. (Or perhaps it will be just another display of the new and the dazzling internet-inpsired ADD.) Either way, I think it will be fun.</div>

Notice the floor tile in <a href="http://www.manuelalvarezbravo.org/">Manuel Alvarez Bravo</a>'s photograph "Fallen Sheet", in our last post, beautiful repetitive geometric design - brings me to thinking about the addition of texture to pattern when skimming the notebook selection of Pistachio Press, takes me to the weight of these scarves, both physical and visual.<br />

<br /><div align="left">Last Wednesday's post on <a href="http://jonrafman.com/">Jon Rafman </a>got me thinking. Rafman, to remind you, collects images taken by the <a href="http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/">Google Street View </a>team and re purposes them as his own through the action of editing. His message is made his by those images which he chooses to include, and those images which he chooses to exclude. In this way you could consider images part of a universal visual language, ie. the same ways in which we choose existing words from the communal dictionary to create a thought that is uniquely ours - we choose images from a world of communal sight, to create a thought that is uniquely ours....right?</div>
<br /><div align="left">As a photographer, I <em>make </em>images. As a photographer, I <em>take </em>images. </div>
<br /><div align="left">"I think, therefore I am." To update Descartes, perhaps the statement should be, "I photograph, therefore I am."</div>
<br /><div align="left">The distinction of who is a photographer and who isn't these days seems a bit silly doesn't it?</div>
<br /><div align="left">So, I started thinking. Thinking about knowledge and the freedom of information, and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_unconscious">collective unconscious</a>, an idea proposed by psychiatrist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Jung">Carl Jung</a>. In his thesis Jung states, " <em>in addition to our immediate consciousness, which is of a thoroughly personal nature and which we believe to be the only empirical psyche, there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. This collective unconscious does not develop individually but is inherited. It consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes,</em>" Meaning, beyond those things we learn and experience, there are things that <strong>we. all. just. know.</strong> , regardless of our individual experiences.</div>
<br /><div align="left">Where am I going with this? , Here - When you are dealing with a medium as popular as photography it is hard to say what is -artist- and what is merely a function of being -human-. It is difficult to ascertain true authorship. </div>
<br /><div align="left">Which brings me, Here - back to today's <strong>Wednesday Work!</strong> There are many lovely blogs, websites, and projects out there started by individuals but whose ownership of can be claimed by many. </div>
<br /><div align="left">The first I would like to share with you today is a collection of images, constantly growing and continually curated by Philadelphia artist, Heather Veneziano. The images appear web-based and cross over large time frames, continents, and original intent. </div>

<br /><div align="left">The second project I would like to introduce today is of the same vein, but working the concept from the other side. <a href="http://www.takepicturedontsteal.com/">Take Picture Don't Steal</a>, and interactive photography project developed by UK-based art director Matt Greenwood, calls on the want of the passer-by. Greenwood places disposable cameras, affixed to street poles, with the simple instructions "Take Picture Don't Steal". Greenwood then collects the images and posts them to the TPDS website. With cameras in place in Miami, FL, NYC, Toronto, the UK, and other's popping up around Europe, a different kind of pictorial collective unconscious is growing. </div>

<br /><div align="left">And all of this not yet to mention Facebook or the growing number flickr/picassa/tumblr accounts! Writer and critic Susan <a href="http://www.susansontag.com/SusanSontag/index.shtml">Sontag</a> nailed it way back in 1977. In her collection of essays, <a href="http://www.susansontag.com/SusanSontag/books/onPhotography.shtml">On Photography</a>, Sontag surmised "<em>recently, photography has become almost as widely practiced amusement as sex and dancing</em>-" and to think, Sontag was merely referring to photography since the advent of roll film and the point and shoot! Now we've gone digital...
<br />What to do with all of these images?</div>
<br /><div align="left">The fate of the photograph - unclear - but to take one more Sontag quote out of context, another from <a href="http://www.susansontag.com/SusanSontag/books/onPhotography.shtml">On Photography</a>, <a href="http://www.susansontag.com/SusanSontag/index.shtml">Sontag</a> states "<em>the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it</em>."</div>
<br /><div align="left">Where do you find yourselves today, dear readers? On the side of the glass-half-empty or the glass-half-full? (I know - Oh so serious...)</div>
<br /><div align="left">Well<strong>, I am feeling optimistic</strong> and at the chance of invention,<span style="font-size:130%;"> I feel the exhilaration of inspiration</span>. </div>

<br /><div align="left">Lack of privacy never looked so good! </div>
<br /><div align="left">For this week's Wednesday Work we bring you <a href="http://jonrafman.com/">Jon Rafman</a>. An artist out of Montreal, Canada, Rafman uses <a href="http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/">Google Street View </a>as his image-capturing device (his camera). A concept which begs the question: what is a photographer? What is a photograph? As photographers, are we artists, or are were curators - editing a collection of images made by the world itself? (Or in this case <a href="http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/">Google Street View</a>.) I've seen a lot done with Google Image Search, and conversation about the future of photography and the integrity of the photographic image in light of the internet and digital photography, abounds - but I've never seen it like this!</div>
