El Mosquitero Por Tercera Vez

 

 

 'If you'll take my advice you'll get a needle and cotton and start right in to mend the mosquito net,' she said, 'or you'll not be able to get a wink of sleep tonight.'
The Trembling of a Leaf - W. Sommerset Maugham

 

I wrote this blog about the mosquito net related to a quote by Somerset Maugham above. And this one with a story by Julio Cortázar that has no translation.

I would like to go to those two blogs with new photographs. Not exactly the new ones as I have modified the negatives of my original session with a poet by scanning two negatives at a time.

I was inspired by the death of Jerry Uelsmann in the beginning of April who did lovely and startling work before Photoshop came into the picture. I wrote about that here. And then I wrote a blog with additional scanner negative sandwiches in the link below..

The Excitement of the Smell of Metal

The Hour Glass

With thousands of negatives and slides I have a new project going here which keeps me off the streets and busy from thinking too much of the absent presence of my Rosemary.
