I've been doing a lot of research about the Fuij X series lenses. Such great lenses I can see from the work of other fuji photographers. But I know they are expensive so I looked into some other brands with x mount options. I didn't realize all the amazing options there is! Not to mention adapters! I decided to get the Rokinon 12mm f2.0. What a cool wide fast lens! Also on the way, I decided with the classic 35mm f1.4 fujinon for a good prime lens to have alongside my 18-135 zoomer. So now I'll have three lenses to choose to pair up with my XT1 for now. I wish fuji made a 90mm portrait lens but I have read rumors that one is in the works for this year.
Well I'm sure you people out there reading this right now don't know I have a sister. If you have been a follower of mine from the past you would know this, since she was after all, the main subject of a lot of my portrait work when I was younger. Well that sister of mine lives on Maui now! That's right, Hawaii. And I am going to visit her March 3rd-13th! So that means I'm going to get to try these amazing new lenses out on the island on Maui, cruising around with my sister, her bf John, and my mom, not to mention also my good friend Brandon. So expect the unexpected, that's what I'm doing.
I'm trying to get myself back into the community of deviantArt. I have recently joined a FujiFilm Shooters group.
and have been doing a lot more browsing commenting of all the great photographers work here on dA.
Still feels so surreal to be back, so good. I'm really here to stay. If there are any old friends on dA that would like to talk for old times sake please hit me up!!!

'Encounter in elevator with photograph'
Two men meet in an elevator. One is an artist, the other an alien (seemingly human). The elevator suddenly jerks to a stop. The man is pushing buttons, the alien is collected. A conversation starts. "What should we do?" the disquieted man starts. "Actually, I am here to tell you something." "What?" "We need you to be more innovative with your photography." "But everything has been done before!" "Always seek bad taste." "But that means no one will like it." "Exactly our point, it is the law of change" "Do you have a mouse in your pocket? You speak in the plural...well I suppose while I have you here, what is the meaning of life?" "They are the same thing." "Are there morals, I mean, are you moral?" "In the way a wolf is, or a house cat, yes." The artist man then shoves the alien man back against the wall of the elevator and takes his photograph. "There! I captured your image by force!" "Is that because you hate me?" "I just know no other means to be different." A moment passes. "Buffer
just a thought
Carl Jung says, "If you have the image of a thing, you have half the thing." Now, reflecting on a photograph of a leaf on concrete, and of said leaf's contours, is a darkened wrapping-moisture to the sidewalk, like a nimbus. Photograph by Tim White. (if anyone can find him for me...I'd love to see more) I think of things in my mind, images. Things that never existed or shall exist, therefore being only halves of things they sure do feel weightless. But, this photograph of the leaf I speak of, is an image and also it really existed once. It is a whole thing. Is it a whole thing? At this my mind marvels and, apparently, the impetus of this mystery cannot wane in me. Hi deviants! I miss you.
Untitled
When I wake up in the morning, sometimes I don't know what to think about yet. So Anxiety rolls in, trying to speed up the decision, forcing normal patterns or yesterday's conventions into my view. But they don't settle well. "Everyday is a new day." (The French word 'cliché' also means 'photo negative'.) So I told myself, 'Let what is interesting to my mind come to me! This doesn't mean stare off into space and hold still, but to just do my normal morning routine, make bed, make coffee, use toilet, etc. and soon enough something is coming to me, unfetched. A poem I've read before: 'Nature is a temple, where the living Columns sometimes breathe confusing speech Man walks within these groves of symbols, each Of which regards him as a kindred thing.' -Charles Baudelaire 'Correspondences' I've always felt words weren't natural enough, but Baudelaire's words help me to realize words are just another part of Nature. Everything corresponds. I miss taking pictures, but I could try to do it
Mirrors with Memory - 1
If you could be anybody in this world, but you were still you, who would you be?" I'd be an artist with a message. I'd stay true to myself past and future. I'd be religious in the sense of having a destined demise with an ultimate meaning. I'd be a man of confidence and individuality, but not secluded from my fellow people. My mind would have free realm, because it would be open to investigation. No longer would I hold myself down, nor would I put on new clothes. I'd stop chasing false identities. I'd put myself out there, for the people to see, and for me. Yes, If I could be anyone, it'd be me. So like that fiery falcon, O Phoenix, where do I light my fire? I want to be a shining in others' eyes like so many now have shone and continue to, in mine. So I ask those who may be reading this: may I learn about beauty from you? Will you accompany me until I can better return to you? I love you all and hope to communicate with you. I miss your art. With love, Jess Golden June 20, 2021
