The New 100 Prints Project by Brooks Jensen By committing myself to post a new image every third day for a year, I hope to push myself to create 100 new images. "Artistic discipline" is a bit of an oxymoron, but being an artist and not producing work is just plain moronic. I appreciate your helpful scrutiny (i.e., visiting this website) in this. <br /> <br /> Why should you be interested in this project? Good question. Taking inspiration from my <i>Vision of the Heart</i> podcasts, I thought others might just be interested in some of the thinking behind the photographs. I loved Ansel Adams' book <i>Examples,</i> and this is sort my homage to his contributions. Hence, the inclusion of short text and the somewhat more elaborate audio commentary that accompanies each image. http://www.brooksjensenarts.com/100prints.xml 2008 Brooks Jensen en-us Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:31:18 -0700 brooks@brooksjensenarts.com Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:08:45 -0700 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.2.9) http://www.feedforall.com The Year is Done, 2009 The New 100 Prints Project by Brooks Jensen

I end this project with a quote from that famous Greek mathematician Euclid - Quod Erat Faciendum - "which was to be done." We have arrived at the end this process, this New 100 Prints Project. I gave myself a year to do the hundred prints, assuming I'd need the time. The first image was posted 13 Oct 2008 and now - 315 days later - here is number 100, seven weeks shy of the year I'd anticipated. I hope you'll forgive me if my enthusiasm and momentum propelled the project fast than expected - a rarity in the making of art. What a ride it's been, what a joy to share, what great way to start my day, every third day, over my morning coffee, with you and a little photography. Once again, thanks.

Three score and ten, we are told, is our alloted time. But experientially, there is only today, only this hour, only this moment. As artists, we grapple with this as the foundation of our creative life. Each day without engaging the creative process is a day unrecoverably lost. Each moment we are making our art, we touch the future — or at least reach for it.

The future. We photographers all strive to make our work archival so it has the chance to survive into the future. What vanity! You would think photographing a wall of rock like this would disabuse us of such absurdity. Should my work survive an amazing 500 years, it would be but a fraction of a blink in time.

We can only concluded that between the now of creation and the short, short future of our artifact lies the meaning in art. Which brings us back to me and you. Artwork exists to connect us, to leap from my here-and-now to your here-and-now. To the extent this project has accomplished this, it has been my reward for choosing a creative life. I hope it has been rewarding for you, as well. So nearing the end, let me thank you, dear reader, for walking this path of a hundred steps along side me.

One of the great challenges of photography — at least for me — is to create an interesting two-dimensional image of the three-dimensional world. Plop me down in front of an wall or other flat surface and I see photographic potential everywhere, and easily. An object with depth and curves like a propeller fills me with artistic doubt. Knowing this about myself helps, because when I photograph in a highly three-dimensional environment, I slow down and work more carefully to compensate for my lack of natural vision.

The workmen were installing a new drive shaft and propeller in this tug, and I knew it had photographic potential. But while they were working, I would have needed to compose quickly — which simply does not come naturally to me in these situations. I came back the next day, when they were finished, and after forty minutes or so of looking from all different angles, I found this composition.

Influences from art throughout history are always present. No doubt it would never have occurred to me to make this image had it not been for all those painters from the Sung Dynasty and their long scrolls of mist in the mountains. Or, think Sesshu and the Zen paintings of the late 1400s. What a gift they've given us across the centuries — to still be able to see the world through their eyes!

The laws of entropy state that everything is winding down like the last ticks of a unwound watch. The yang and yin of growth and decline dance their way through time, but entropy know that yin is 50.0001% and that yang cannot win. Or so the physicists tell us. Be that as it may, there is beauty and poignancy in the dance, even if the overarching mood is melancholy and the rubble is starting to rise. It is so easy - I think even natural - for the end of a project to include a tinge of sadness that things are coming to a close. With only five more prints in this New 100 Prints Project yet to go, I'm already sensing the faint echoes of loss. I know this feeling; I knew it would come because it eventually has with every photographic project I've ever done. This knowledge helps. Like every other project, I've also found in this one the seeds of the next - another consistency in the art life that seems inviolable if we can be sensitive enough. There is pattern to the creative life and in that pattern we can find comfort in spite of the inevitability of cosmic - and artistic - entropy.

This is a wall in the shipyard I've been photographing, near the paint area. Perhaps these are test patches, perhaps where brushes are cleaned off, perhaps just a bunch of guys having fun at the end of their shift. To me it was all Mondrian - and irresistible. I wish I could put my finger on what it is about such compositions that appeals to me, but whenever I try to put it into words, nothing comes to mind. The closest I can get is some sort of "order in the chaos." Inadequate, I know, but the best I can come up with.

This may be a euphonium, a baritone, a contrabass bugle - I'm not sure. I am sure that it is now sadly silent. Tools that are no longer used - ncluding musical tools - lways induce in me a melancholy for days long past. The soldering on this instrument speaks of repairs to keep it in service as long as possible. But, nothing lasts forever - truth for euphoniums as well as everything else in life.

I remember the first time I pulled into the Wawona Viewpoint and looked back into Yosemite Valley. I said out loud, "Of course," standing where Ansel Adams made his wonderful Clearing Winter Storm image from right there, probably in the parking lot of the roadside turnout. One need not always suffer for art. Sometimes the tourist spots are the perfect place from which to make an image. Be that as it may, it is still up to us to select the light, the composition, the moment. I can only hope that this image captures that feeling of setting sun on a hot day with a fraction of the success Adams' had in capturing the foggy, wet storm in his image.

Another image from the shipyard across the street. I can see them building this structure from my kitchen window. Each day, the light would scrape across this huge steel plate and make these wonderful shadows. Each day, I'd miss it due to obligations that prevented me from getting out my camera and making this photograph. For two months I'd look and dread that this might be the day they moved it, painted it, changed it. Finally, this last Friday, I had my opportunity with just the right light, just the right angle of the sun, just the right free moment. Usually, to he who hesitates, all is lost. On rare occasions, the art Muse takes pity and gives us another chance. Carpe luz.

Every so often, while listening to some piece of music, I'll hear a chord or a harmony that is simply arresting in its beauty. Independent of the song, such chords are simply a magnificence to our ears. Occasionally, I find a similar thing happens in a photograph. This composition was interesting in itself, but when converted it to monochrome, this unexpected chord of tones took my breath away. As I've stated before, take all the lucky ones we can get.

The places where real work is done are photographically compelling. A workshop, an artist's studio, a country kitchen, a factory, a shipyard - these are the places that people live every day, work every day, where their lives are spent in pursuit of accomplishing something. So often a photograph of a person shows them in their "Sunday best," as they say, smiling for the lens like a toothpaste commercial. But, if you want to really know someone, look for them where they work. You'll find the real person there - the very space itself their portrait.

At the time I made this photograph, I remember thinking that these black shadows and the submerged roots of these trees spoke of the deep subconscious mind we fear to acknowledge. I find it spooky, compelling, a bit frightening like an unnamed fear that haunts me for unknown reasons. I've resisted printing this image for over 15 years. It still bugs me, but it's time for it to see the light of day. Maybe, like a ghost, walking towards it will make it disappear.

Near the end of the game, particularly in the ninth inning, when your team is losing and there is little chance for a comeback, the stands start to empty and only a few diehard fans remain until the last pitch is thrown and the last out is made. I can image that from the point of view of the pitcher, the stands must look something like this.

Interestingly, I showed this photograph to some guests who were visiting and they all asked me what it was. I pointed out our window across the street at the giant ship that is being built in the shipyard. "Wow, your photograph doesn't look at all like the ship."

Pheasant hunters are the main clientele of this bed and breakfast deep in the wheat country of North Dakota. We stayed there for a couple of nights, ate the hearty ranch food, drank the jet-black coffee, and even swore once or twice. We still didn't quite fit in with the rugged folks who call this place home. I liked them. I even admired them. They couldn't figure out why I wanted to photograph there, but they granted me free permission to roam and work where I wanted.

Okay, this is not "The Lost Scrolls," but it looks like it should be. It was this wall — which is about 8-feet wide — that first prompted me to see these paint marks at Fort Worden as calligraphic in form.

Hundreds of giant sheets of steel arrive in the shipyard and then are welded together, piece by piece. After months, it starts to look like a ship. It is truly magic. Asked what the tolerance of matching parts is, one of the guys replied "One thirty-second of an inch."

The sun is the source of everything we photograph, but is so rarely photographed itself. Its brightness intimidates cameras. But, with the help of a heavy bank of fog, it can be captured. As I've said elsewhere, fog is a photographer's best friend.

Fundamentally, we photographers record shapes and patterns. This landscape is interesting to me, but what really caught my eye was the extension of the diagonal lines from lower right (in the rocks) to upper left (in the clouds) and the way those diagonals create a connection between the solid land and the fluid sky — all facing the sun, as though to better absorb its warmth. I do this sometimes — turn and angle my face to the sun, that is, just to bask in the light and feel the warmth. In my family this is known as "kitty in the sun" after our furry family members. Perhaps this is why the earth spins, to angle itself to the warmth of the sun.

In spite of inevitable mortality, each of us is driven, to one extent or another, to leave a mark of our existence behind. For some, it is a marker of our remains; for others it is a legacy of artwork in a box of prints, a stack of books, or an amorphous spray of memories in the hearts and minds of our friends and colleagues. "I was here." Yes, you were, and we remember you fondly.

Earth, being our home, doesn't seem as "planet-like" as those images we are now seeing from Mars or Mercury. Yet, planet it is. Just a bunch of rocks. But, what interesting rocks in such ever-changing configurations! I never tire of photographing the land if for no other reason than the fun I have being there. Of course, where else could I be?

Life is full of shades of grey; memory is dark and spiked with shiny details.

This old car was in storage in a building that used to be the Fortuna Depot, now just an out-building on a farm in North Dakota. Everything in the building was old. I felt as though I'd stepped back in time — back when cars were metal and trim was chrome.

As much as I dislike admitting it, I cannot deny that photography is one of the great tools of propaganda. I've hesitated to use this photograph over the years because I know how easy it would be for some people to use it as a stereotype to ridicule those who live in the country, who own guns, who are "rednecks," those unsophisticated rubes. An image like this is so laced with political implications, with such potential to create a wedge between people — not at all what I hope for my photography. It is photographic quicksand that is almost impossible to avoid. I intend no political statement one way or the other, but I ultimately I know that we artists cannot control how others interpret our work — and sometimes people will see the opposite of what we intend.

I have tried, in this project, to restrain myself from including too many abstracts. From this work at Fort Worden, I now have over 250 finished photographs of the splashed paint and graffiti. Obviously, I love abstracts — but I know that a lot of the world does not share my passion. This is only the second from this series to be included here in the 100 Prints Project. I may do a couple more. I will spare you from the full exhibition of all 250 of them. For now.

Sometimes — even in photography — patience is a virtue. I first saw this image in 1989 when I visited Miami, Arizona on a business trip. Without a camera, I made a mental note only. Just last March, I finally had a chance to return to Miami. The composition was exactly as I remembered it. This rarely happens, but when it does, it's best not to tempt fate twice. I waited for the light and finally made the photograph that was a 20-year-old image in my mind's eye.

Before every baseball game, we Americans join in singing our national anthem. Often, this little ceremony passes by almost unnoticed. But, every once in a while, the words come through with more meaning, more immediacy, and what is often a rite becomes an unexpected moment of deep reflection and welling emotion. On these occasions, the flag of our country, whatever country one calls home, has a power to touch us to our deepest core.

This weekend (Monday, specifically) is Memorial Day here in the United States, a time when we remember and honor those who have died in military service on our behalf. In Pace Requiescat.

Shall we assume this saddle is being hung from the ceiling to keep the mice from chewing on it? Or, perhaps it's hung above the floor to keep the moisture off of it? It seems too cruel to assume saddlecide has been committed. Perhaps it is being punished for bad behavior, over here in the corner, left to think about its misdeeds and correct its ways. Bad saddle, bad saddle.

Long after she'd died, I visited my Grandmother's abandoned log cabin home. The cabin was barely standing, forsaken to the elements, leaning precipitously leeward. All the moveable contents were long gone. Searching for some evidence of her presence, I discovered objects I knew she had touched — repeatedly — the temperature dial on the gas stove, the handle of the wood burning heater, the doorknob to her bedroom. Perhaps only a few molecules are left that were once her, but they are there, they are there.

As a photographer, I'm nosy enough to take a peek in places I would normally not enter. I'm not above looking inside a cupboard, for example, and am occasionally rewarded with a beautiful composition like this. As I mentioned in the audio comments for the last image, I love storytelling and these two objects so quietly and powerfully offer a springboard to a story I'd love to know — but not knowing, I can have fun imagining.

F. E. "Mix" Stefonowicz began publishing the North Dakota weekly newspaper The Wildrose Mixer in 1910. He handset the type and ran the press himself. At its close in 1970, it had a circulation of 600.

I suppose it goes without saying that such a subject particularly appeals to me, a fellow publisher. I wish I could have met Mix. I would love to know more of his story. These are wooden headline cuts, left just as were the day he closed the shop. It's now preserved as a museum in Crosby, North Dakota.

Old buildings. They always seem filled with echoes and memories. Someone saw the need for this structure, this shelter, this haven. They built it, furnished it, used it — perhaps for decades. And then it all they all drifted away. Only the shell is left, like a headstone to the memories it contains, day after day facing the desert sun. If these walls could talk, indeed.

Fatigue had set in. We'd been up since before dawn, photographing and wandering around this strange place. I sat down in the dirt for a short rest and a snack. As I sat there, the arc of the sun brought light onto this single mound of bentonite, right before my eyes. Five minutes after I finished this picture, the light was gone and all was in shadow again.

Both Kenny and Palma are no longer with us. Palma went first, Kenny followed just a few months later. They were both 93. They lived their whole lives on the farm, hard working folks.

Syrupy photographs are off-putting, so I tend to avoid the blatantly obvious symbol in my compositions.

At heart, I've always been a minimalist, although I don't believe that photography — with its power to render the subvisible detail — can truly be a minimalist's medium. Be that as it may, I'm habitually attracted to images that simplify our complex world — but not dumb it down. I guess I prefer a certain complexity in my simplicity! I prefer clarity rather than clutter, a distilled essence to an over-indulgent inclusion, quiet photographs as compared to raucous ones. Considering the crack, the smaller crack, the wall plug, the pencil mark, the stain, the wallpaper pattern, the dual plaster tape lines, and the molding, this can't really be called a minimalist photograph. Clearly, it is not a busy one either. Minimalist>/i> will have to do.

I was tempted to title this Evidence of North Dakota Winters — which it surely is. I've photographed there half a dozen times, but always in the balmy, bug-free comfort of September when the heat of summer is past and the frigid winter has not yet arrived.

Jay Maisel is supposed to have said, "Never trust air you can't see." Funny as this is, there is a measure of truth in it for us photographers.

A cafe is more than a place to grab some breakfast or a lunch. It is a meeting place, a place of conversation, a place to hang out. Life happens at a cafe. One that has been around a long while has stories to tell — if these walls could talk, as they say. More than a building, it is a lost memory, an echo of countless moments that I am impulsively drawn to hear, only to find a silence that my imagination strains to fill.

Outside our back door, at night. Cold snow and ice coming down steadily. The precipitation just seemed to hang on this tree which was backlit by the street lights. I shivered while I photographed it and I shiver now just looking at the photograph. Damn, Spring seems to be taking its time arriving this year!

I've just finished my 2009 Winter Trees folio and, unfortunately, this image was the sixth selection for a folio that has only five images. I always feel badly for these almost-made-it images, but decisiveness is also part of the creative process.

We all carry around in our mind's eye a virtual gallery of images that have impressed and influenced us. Edward Weston's famous image from Zabriskie Point occupies a prominent place in the gallery in my mind. This isn't Zabriskie Point and in most regards looks quite different from Weston's photograph. Nonetheless, in my associative mind, this image of a small runoff wash from Hell's Half Acre is somehow is inspired by his vision.

This entire "big sky" myth about Montana is nonsensical — physics and geometry dictate that there can be nor more sky overhead there than anywhere else on the planet. Logic assures us that it is a myth — right up until the time you are standing under it and the expanse above you takes your breath away.

It is said the two greatest discoveries of the ancient world were fire and the wheel. The farmers of North Dakota would likely agree. Their threshing machines are testament to this.

In 2004, Joe Lipka and I were photographing in Pioneer Village in Crosby, North Dakota. They have a collection of vintage farming machines — barns full of them. We got to looking at all the variations of flywheels, gear boxes, and every type of wheel used in these behemoths. There was a "circular logic" that pervaded every machine — and a photographic project was born! This is the first of my Circular Logic images with many more to come in this project.

Waltman is a wide spot in the road and not a likely destination for anyone but the few — very few — folks who live there. I was on the way to somewhere else. There was no cafe, but there was this sign that told of the cafe that was. I make it a habit to stop at these places when they are open — and not just to help them with my purchasing dollars. They tend to have pretty good food, always a story or two, and a memory that I carry with me long after lunch is over. I'm always sad when I see one of these places is no longer in business.

I'm just starting a long-term project photographing the Dakota Creek Shipyard across the street from the LensWork offices. (Literally, just starting — photographed yesterday.) I've looked at this place out our windows for eight years now. I've hesitated because I'd spent so much time and energy on my Made of Steel series — I needed a break, I guess. Break's over. It's time. I'm feeling the itch.

Those of you technically inclined, this is from my new Panasonic G1 using the 45-200mm racked all the way out — a 400mm eq. in "35mm speak," handheld with the optical image stabilization, shot from our roof. I believe this is the first "keeper" image shot handheld in my entire photographic career. New tools portend new fun!

In LensWork #76 (May-June 2008), we published a discussion about the nature of being a photographer working with a subject matter that others have photographed extensively. We happened to have received two portfolios of grain elevators at the same time — a publisher's dilemma. As it happens, I had photographed this grain elevator just a few months before. Grain elevators were everywhere! As it turns out, I like Larry Blackwood's and Cole Thompson's grain elevator photographs just about as well as my own. It's fun to have photographic peers with whom you can relate as fellow travelers.

I studied Japanese sumi-e painting in my youth. Having dedicated myself to photography for all these years, you can guess at my skills with the brush. Thankfully, this does not prevent me from making photographs that look as though they were painted on rice paper with those lovely Japanese brushes and sumi ink.

Yes, this is the same pine tree that is in the image posted on 15 Nov entitled Pine in the Lava, Mt. Jefferson, Oregon, 2006. I rarely make more than one image of any given subject, this being an exception. It' such a wonderful tree!

This composition seems more optimistic, more celebratory of its struggle to survive in this lava field. I'm sure that's because of the line of clouds and the way they mirror the line of the hillside, both of which move in the direction the tree is pointing. Onward and upward, no matter how rocky the terrain.

My friend Joe Lipka and I were on a photographic outing to make abstracts and landscape images. Architecture was the farthest thing from our agenda or my mind — but then we stumbled on this old, unoccupied, classic, four-story, turn-of-the-century building. Its last occupants were the U.S. Military who used it as officer's quarters in WWII. For two days we followed the light as it danced on the once-opulent woodwork.

Here is another of the images from Hell's Half Acre in Wyoming. Images that defy any sense of scale are always seductive to me; I love the way my active imagination can play with them. Perhaps because it is named "Hell's Half Acre," I can imagine this as one of those Gustave Doré landscapes from purgatory, a cluster of lost souls on the far precipice gazing down into the depths of Hell.
Okay, well, I said I had an active imagination.

Unlike actual life, photographs, being only visual things, are usually quiet. Eyes only — visual tones, but not aural ones. When an image brings forth our other senses — sounds, smells, tastes, touch, — it usually has more impact. I can hear the raindrops in this image. For that reason alone, it appeals to me.

Sometimes as photographers, we inject our artistic presence into the composition, perhaps heavy-handedly, but with certainty. Other times — and this is one of those — we just get out of the way and let the subject tell its own story.

This is an image from a joint folio project I'm working on with my friend and fellow photographer David Grant Best. We traveled three weeks together in 1990 in northern Japan which resulted in a handmade artist's book we called Tangerine Gifts. We are reissuing this as a folio with new images later this month. This will be one of the images.
