“A DIFFERENT PICTURE”

*************************************

  Nancy LaMar-Rodgers September issue of “ink Magazine”  provided a great article about my work and it served as the anchor of the 6 pages

that she, and photographer Vinnie Scarano put together. Thank you both.

  Curiously, however, the photo editor may really not have read the article itself.

  Nancy’s job tied together what I was trying to do with my images with her interview and so I

couldn’t post some images that are (in my opinion) more appropriate for my book “Passing-By”.

  At first, I thought about quoting Nancy’s article in length and insert what I thought were more

appropriate photographs.

  But I’m sure I would have run head-on into copyright and law problems.  I’m sure quote-marks

only cover things just so far.

  My goal here is to expand and illuminate this article not rewrite it.

To that end, I’m recommending that any person interesting in this refers to the September issue

of “ink Magazine” pages 68 -74.     (https://issuu.com/inkpublications/docs/ink_magazine_-_september_2021_2)

  My little book “Passing-By” will be out publicly in a couple of weeks. 

  Lest there be any real replication between the book and this pamphlet I’ve put up, here,

photographs that are not in the book.

  The intro picture (Coming In To The Yards) is the only image that shows up in all three places. 

  With that, I’m suggesting 11 photographs that might work with Nancy's article but

are a bit more keyed to her text.

  But, who knows, one often isn’t the best judge of their own work in the real world.

All images are by G. Roger Clements and were recorded on 35mm film.

Also... these images have also not been "cleaned up" since they will not go much anywhere and so I left the lint where it was.
