This is my first leaf printing, it's a text but after waiting one month and ruining a lot of them it's a small satisfaction!
First leaf

Aceste creaţii seminale sunt o puternică introspecţie în universul artistitului şi o critică adusă artei devenită comoditate în societate contemporană.

The model and I
From: Model
To: Photographer
Dear photographer,
The sharp and well lit portrait you made does not says the story of my life, neither it captures my personality or mood. It's just a nice looking face.
The nude with me squirming my legs and arms in all possible places and directions, does not carry my feminine inner beauty or eroticism. It's just a nipple or piece of meat.
Photographing me in abandoned buildings will not show a beautiful thing lost in a deserted and cruel world. It's just showing you lack imagination and empathy.
You are not an artist. You're just someone who knows how to use three flashes. You don't get me, you're just photographing my face.
The model
Study on materials
This is one of my attempts to illustrate the irrelevance and imprecision of concepts like substance or natural (interesting article on this here). Actually, I disprove any kind of concept or theory with any exhaustively claim, but I’m sure you already know this.
Also, this follows my view that photography can be seen as a series on transformations.
First transformation is from the psychological sensations to the abstract in our mind that makes us start the material transformation by exposing the medium. The process here is obvious at the basic level.
The material transformation - from photons that are energy to the final visible image. One photon disrupts a Br electron, electron which charges a sensibility center, which will attract an Ag ion that would be neutralized to Ag atom (so Ag is transformed) by joining the same center. From this simple process, to development (where again, substances are transformed), to enlargement where other photons are transformed and are starting different processes, all for the purpose of final image. Similar things happen on digital, of course. Basically, every time we’re exposing film or sensor we are transforming the world.
After the second transformation, the third one is the transformation in the viewer. I’m not talking only about alterity, or the fragile road from the signifier to the signified as we view one’s work, I’m talking about all the transformation, including transforming your time when you decide to go to an exposition.
Photography can basically be the proof of the butterfly effect.
The abstract from the second series of transformations, by its intrinsic informational structure, cannot be exhaustive (as I said, there is no exhaustive way permitted here) - by this photography having no argument in being objective, exhaustive or “real”. Reality, at the very most, can be viewed as relations between different systems constitutive elements, that only if you insist in trust it’s existence. Transformations are never perfect, always relative and mostly, unique. As they can form concepts and abstracts, how can we have unique concepts I ask ?

This might represent a flower, flower that by definition is part of a plant – all being organic.
Also, at a first glance, these would be some heavily processed images. Knowing me, you will assume these are made on film.
Indeed, you can say they represent a flower. Not processed, these are just some simple photograms made with a plastic shower curtain on photographic paper.
Plastic becomes nature, by this destroying the simple concept of a flower. A transformation that eventually breaks what our mind takes as a give.
Where is your reality and order of things now?
About
If you are reading this, you are either someone interested in my work in a way more deep than the like button, either relative, either I highly appreciate your works. I would really like to thank you all for this.
For anyone else I have created The artist memoirs. The images I will put there I mostly consider part of my learning process and way under my current level as seen by me (although I'm still attached in a personal way to some of them). The site it's intended as part of a work analyzing cliches from different viewpoints.
I think everyone stared with low quality works, but only a few go higher. The cliche is facile and if done correctly it's successful. Also, the propriety to be a cliche is highly depended of the context and author intention, as I've learned recently. We all learn to write by repeating same words and phrases, but eventually we are making new ones. For now I will stop here.
Some good works on cliche you will find here.
?
Image here is only a pretext to ask your help. Because I'm confused. And a bit tired and tipsy. Because I don't know where the fuck I'm going. With photography of course.
My goal is filling the walls of my darkroom. And right before my death, I will burn everything. And right before burning, I will die. As my death will precede the death of my last photograph. And my last photograph I will burn first, and my first I will burn last, so I will see the all my life before my eyes.
What do I have to say* ?
Should I say it ?
How to say it ?
If I say it will anybody care ?
If anybody will care, should I care ?
*say can also be replaced with show
Old questions. No new answers.
Can anyone help me ? I'm a bit confused lately.

first part of like series
I'm noticing that more and more, media, currents of thought and self-helping techniques tell us to think positive, to erase all the "no" and all the negations from our behavior and way of thinking.
Facebook is one of the more obvious materialization of these ways. You have only one options in evaluating a thing one says (something): like. You can't dislike, you can't show your incertitude, it's simply the like and a fake smile. You either like, or you shut up.
The two sides are no longer created in the classical antagonism with us - against us. It's just you're with us or you don't exist.
In honor of this, this series of images (part of "the killing of symbols" project) will show the implementation of like in real world scenery.
Brave new world, I salute you again.
