OT: Ok. Enough of you have expressed interest /curiosity...
about my photography, that it occurs to me, there are some photos
"out there", one of which I can think of off the top of my head, which
you can see without it "tracing back to me." That is, the page it is
on isn't identified as my page, as in "www.johndweatherly.com"
I have located one photo, a contest winner, that is on a page you
can look at. I don't have 100 photos out there on public pages, but I
have a few.
I am not putting a lot of stuff out there until I can figure out a
way to turn the photos that are online into $$$.
But, if some of you are curious about my photography (which I've
discussed in here MANY times),
you can now look at one of my better photos from a few years back.
Go to:
http://www.photolaureates.org
There will be a tab called "Search Photographers"
click on it.
You will be taken to a page where you will fill out a "search
request" form. No doubt, most / all of you have filled out "search
criteria".
Fill in my name, "John Weatherly"
Fill in my zip code (so you know that the John Weatherly listed is me
in Seattle.)
98104
If you're wondering, I used the zip code of an old address, the
building in the photo.
You'll likely land on a blank page, with just my first name on the
far left of the page, "John."
Click on "John", and the photo will appear.
It DID win an award, and it does represent some of my best work.
If I don't see hundreds of altered, butchered copies of the photo all
over the web in the next month, I may consider showing you more of my
work.
However, I have no desire to post photos that I haven't sold and have
some of you "mass-circulate" them and have them end up not marketable.
Behave, and you MAY get to see some more.
However, I am showing this photo because I've had a lot of very
positive feedback from people who've seen it. Residents of that
building have been VERY appreciative.
I hope some of you will enjoy it.
I REALLY am "me" with a camera in my hands.
For many years (decades), I wondered what I'd end up doing with my
life. Everything I touched-- aside from writing-- felt "odd."
Writing was difficult because-- in the pre-"PC" years-- writing was
difficult.
I'm not the first writer to say that writing with a typewriter was a
"royal pain in the butt."
When I picked up my first PROFESSIONAL 35mm, it was a true "bonding"
experience. I got my first roll of film back, and all I wanted was to
shoot more pictures.
By the time I started college, I already had a substantial
portfolio, and my teachers told me I had a gift.
I figured out that art was my world, not "science", not "math".
Art. Creating out of nothing.
I hope you enjoy.
Ugly comments will be ignored.

Thanks for the comments!
I try very hard to not "correct" my photography. I do my
"correcting" when I'm behind the camera.
I've been out with friends, girlfriends, wives, classmates, fellow
professional photographers, and a few students I've taught, and they
typically complain that I take so long to take my pictures. I may
pause several minutes between shots while I move here to there, back,
crouch, stand on a park bench, lean against a wall, duck behind
something. When I like what I see-- I mean, I REALLY LIKE what I
see-- I take my photo.
When they see the results of my "studying" the scene, I generally
get, "WOW! Now I see why it took you like 5 minutes to take that
picture!"
I do my "correcting" BEFORE I push the shutter release.
My professors and instructors used to comment about how LITTLE time
I took in the darkroom (we were required to use the campus darkroom
for all school work; that enabled the instructor to "pay us a visit"
so he could correct our dark room work as well as our camera work)
and what dazzling results I got.
I explained to the instructors and professors, "That's because I """
do my work""" behind the camera!"
One thing I learned from the great Ansel Adams was to do the HARD
work behind the camera, NOT in the dark room.
All I need to do now is figure out some of the photo editing
software.
In the meantime, I simply devote more time BEHIND the CAMERA, and I
let the camera "speak for me."
As for using an adjustable bellows camera, I never cared for
"manipulating" images that way.
If you know what you're doing, you don't need such "trickery."
But I'm glad you're such a pro that you can make such good comments!
And, who is "Freddy Kruger?"

So where's the apology. You merely "explained."
That's all that was necessary. Truthfully, with the names you called
me, you were lucky to get that.
"That was "" all that was necessary"" "in whose opinion?
As for "name-calling", you just changed the subject AGAIN, from YOU
(the guilty party), back to me.
You admitted your "mistake." That's to your credit. But, I see, you
still find it IMPOSSIBLE to apologize.
Impossible. There's no pride in YOU!
And, as for name-calling, you've done a bit of that yourself
(narcissist, liar, etc)
And I haven't called you a single thing you haven't deserved.
You also made NO comment about my apologies over the remarks about
your father.
You DEMAND apologies, but you never give any!
It's as if you think you'd literally curl up and DIE, turn to dust,
and cease to exist if you
apologized.
My, aren't you full of yourself!
And... damage done!
What "damage"?
smirk. I wouldn't expect you to get it. You have all the
sensitivity-- all the honesty-- of a bull in a china shop.
And-- you HAVE very deliberately archived any number of my posts. Why
would I believe you did something "different" this time?
Maybe because when I do intentionally archive your posts I always
write "ARCHIVED". Did I do that this time, John?
smirk.
Where's the apology?
And, then, there's the point that you actually didn't apologize.
I have nothing to apologize for.
Um.... yes, you do. You did something that harmed me.
And, I notice, for all the rhetoric, you didn't apologize.
I think if you live to be 1,000 years old, you will never apologize.
Here ya go, John: "I'm sorry".
Feel better now? Are ya happy?
|
WOW! Thank you! "It's ok."
Was that so difficult?
Even a gifted surgeon, working with all his tools and all his
skills, loses a patient occasionally.
Through no fault of his own, but merely because "it wasn't meant to
be."
He's done nothing wrong. He and his team of 10 professionals devoted
some 20 hours to the best surgery humans can perform, but the patient
died under the knife.
He'll still greet the family, probably hug the wife, probably hug
the mother.. and say, "we did our best. It simply wasn't enough!
I'm sorry!"
No "FAULT." No blame. But "I wish that hadn't happened! I'm TRULY
sorry."
And your "I'm sorry" would have really meant something, if you'd
just MEANT it.
But thanks for typing the words.
Perhaps, in time, that'll come more naturally.
You get a B+ for effort.
Question is: Do YOU feel better?
I also note you made NO comment on the photo.

The photo is okay. The lines of the building are interesting, but
personally, I found no real interest there. If there had been more of
a contrast of the plants and the pot beside the dull colors of the
building the picture might have been more engaging. As it is, it's
kind of unengaging.
|
Well, perhaps that's because it's a fairly "local interest"
photograph. The people who live there who have seen that particular
window ledge with those flowers in it (it's the ONLY window ledge in
the building that generates ANY color without being totally
"trashed."), have said, "Wow!" You got it, and you made it
INTERESTING."
And, I think you PERHAPS (no accusation intended), missed MY point.
Which was a study of lines, surfaces, and colors.
Whether the colors of the plants were BRILLIANT or not (it wasn't
ENHANCED), the plants had COLOR and FORM. As opposed to the building,
which was a very DRAB mix of almost NO color and lines.
I was contrasting several things. God/ man (plant vs building) I
was contrasting lines (man-made) vs shape (God-made)

Congrats with studying with Josef. I studied with Ansel Adams in
the 70s. I'm sure he was at least as prominent as Josef.
And (no argument, just a friendly difference of opinion) just because
a photographer is prominent doesn't mean you'll appreciate his work.
As for "the concept wasn't completely realized", actually, it was. I
had a concept. I studed the subject. I finally took the picture (I
took half a dozen pictures to get the precise angle I wanted, the time
of day I wanted).
I got precisely what I intended. "Concept realized."
I actually did a series based on that window ledge garden. I only
presented ONE of the series to the group.
I would go into much greater detail, but-- we're not exactly on the
best of terms, and-- I'm saving the detail for my autobio.

Hmmm...I guess you didn't learn *that* from "the great Ansel Adams"...
Adams used a 4x5 bellows view camera, John.

Oh, boy! Here we go yet again!
I studied under Ansel. I learned some things. Absolutely. That
doesn't mean I intend to become a clone of Ansel Adams. He did some
things I really like. One of his photos took me YEARS to figure out,
"How the HECK did Ansel do that?"
But I didn't / and I don't "LOVE everything" he ever took a picture
of.
And I know he used a 4 X 5, among other cameras he used.
He actually built at least one of his cameras.
I don't build cameras. |

I explained to the instructors and professors, "That's because I """
do my work""" behind the camera!"
i'm sure they were portfolio!
One thing I learned from the great Ansel Adams was to do the HARD
work behind the camera, NOT in the dark room.
lol haha
All I need to do now is figure out some of the photo editing
software.
johnw i have an extra photoshop 6.something that is new and never
registered complete in the box, make me an offer!

I don't know how you'd get it to me. I am not going to send you my
address.
But, I have an idea. My offer is: bend over, and I'll tell you
where to stick it.
If you were being all that nice, you'd give it to me.
smirk.
And then comment about THAT for the next 10 years or so.

I like the way you didn't correct for the parallaxes allowing everything

and lost that Freddy Kruger mystique. Well done John.
Thanks for the comments!
I try very hard to not "correct" my photography. I do my
"correcting" when I'm behind the camera.
do you know what an adjustable bellow on a camera is used for?

I've been out with friends,
you misspelt acquaintances. lol
girlfriends, wives, classmates, fellow
professional photographers, and a few students I've taught, and they
typically complain that *I talk too much*.
I corrected above in bold and also below
I may pause several minutes between shots while I *talk too much before taking a another*
I'm sure that is so, you'd never vaunt your pals!
When they see the results of my "studying" the scene, I generally
get, "WOW! Now I see why it took you like 5 minutes to take that
picture!"
WOW, that's nice that you get all them wows.
I do my "correcting" BEFORE I push the shutter release.
I would hope that's not your whole portfolio nice as it is!
My professors and instructors used to comment about how LITTLE time
I took in the darkroom (we were required to use the campus darkroom
for all school work; that enabled the instructor to "pay us a visit"
so he could correct our dark room work as well as our camera work)
and what dazzling results I got.

OT: Ok. Enough of you have expressed interest /curiosity...
about my photography, that it occurs to me, there are some photos
"out there", one of which I can think of off the top of my head, which
you can see without it "tracing back to me." That is, the page it is
on isn't identified as my page, as in "www.johndweatherly.com"
I have located one photo, a contest winner, that is on a page you
can look at. I don't have 100 photos out there on public pages, but I
have a few.
I am not putting a lot of stuff out there until I can figure out a
way to turn the photos that are online into $$$.
But, if some of you are curious about my photography (which I've
discussed in here MANY times),
you can now look at one of my better photos from a few years back.
Go to:
http://www.photolaureates.org
There will be a tab called "Search Photographers"
click on it.
You will be taken to a page where you will fill out a "search
request" form. No doubt, most / all of you have filled out "search
criteria".
Fill in my name, "John Weatherly"
Fill in my zip code (so you know that the John Weatherly listed is me
in Seattle.)
98104
If you're wondering, I used the zip code of an old address, the
building in the photo.
You'll likely land on a blank page, with just my first name on the
far left of the page, "John."
Click on "John", and the photo will appear.
It DID win an award, and it does represent some of my best work.
If I don't see hundreds of altered, butchered copies of the photo all
over the web in the next month, I may consider showing you more of my
work.
However, I have no desire to post photos that I haven't sold and have
some of you "mass-circulate" them and have them end up not marketable.
Behave, and you MAY get to see some more.
However, I am showing this photo because I've had a lot of very
positive feedback from people who've seen it. Residents of that
building have been VERY appreciative.
I hope some of you will enjoy it.
I REALLY am "me" with a camera in my hands.
For many years (decades), I wondered what I'd end up doing with my
life. Everything I touched-- aside from writing-- felt "odd."
Writing was difficult because-- in the pre-"PC" years-- writing was
difficult.
I'm not the first writer to say that writing with a typewriter was a
"royal pain in the butt."
When I picked up my first PROFESSIONAL 35mm, it was a true "bonding"
experience. I got my first roll of film back, and all I wanted was to
shoot more pictures.
By the time I started college, I already had a substantial
portfolio, and my teachers told me I had a gift.
I figured out that art was my world, not "science", not "math".
Art. Creating out of nothing.
I hope you enjoy.
Ugly comments will be ignored.

J H, your overt thievery is once again noted. As well as your overt
indifference to the intellectual property rights of others.
What was that about you being a Christian again?
No single part of what you just did is taught by Jesus as how we are
to treat one another.
Nothing.
What you just did, you did out of malicious hate.
Pure and simple.
You know it; any rational individual knows it.
And I'll be VERY interested to see how you explain this one to Jesus
when He returns.
That should be good for a few tsk tsks, and a few more guffaws.
Bottom line, J H, there's no love in you. You're nothing but a
malicious HATER.
