Hi Chris, You won't remember me at all, but it's really good to 'read' your voice again. Welcome back from me too. Cindy -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Christopher C Jones Sent: 02 September 2008 11:21 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: hello, again Hello, I'm back. The psychosis that forced me to leave, was it two years ago now, ended up being a side effect of Digesics, a pain medication and was easily resolved by ceasing to take the medication. However, other traumatic life events have prevented me from rejoining the list until now. So, I have written two lines of verse already, have started revising the novel and built a photographic darkroom as well as getting my hands on a 4x5 monorail camera with three lenses (a Calumet 45N with a Schneider 90mm Super Angulon, Schneider 150mm Xenar and a Caltar Ilex 215mm.) I also have acquired two rather nice enlargers, a Fujimoto45M-D and Meopta Opemus 4. Unfortunately, I dropped my Mamiya C33 body while loading film in my studio and aside from the hole the falling camera made in the concrete floor also broke the left focusing knob off so had to replace it with a more recent C330f body. It has come to my attention that I cannot write unless also doing some sort of photography. Being beyond always learning new software for multimedia I went back to what I first learnt at art college some decades ago. I am working with what psychologists call haptic space which according to some research is how we learn optical vision. This art of haptic space also goes back to my first year at art school, so is not really anything that new. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3407 (20080902) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
