On my way home today I found this beautiful Giant Silk Moth or Robin Moth perched on the store front outside wall of my local package store, Willington Wine and Spirits.. Big - about the size of my fist.. Of course I had to look it up.. @thethirdman8 🦋

When's the last time you were in a darkroom?

Probably 2008 when I was putting together my senior show for my BA. It consisted of abandoned vehicles and buildings. I enlarged exclusively in BW. My early color work was all on chrome film. I managed the university's darkroom for a few years, which mainly consisted of cleaning and making sure heavy metals didn't get poured down the drain.

If you want to see more of my darkroom stuff, you can search my "hand printed" tag, but the quality is a little off because a lot of them are just me taking photos of prints with my iphone.

Do you miss Connecticut? Would you return someday?

Hello @thethirdman8

The word "miss" actually needs a reason. It is lighter than a feather and heavier than a rock. (Diamond grade stones. lol)

▪︎ What is lighter than a feather?

It doesn't kidnap your emotions. For example: With the imagination of the creator, you don't need to buy a ticket or apply for a visa, you can fly to the place you want immediately. It's very free and independent, I need this kind of motivation to miss it.

▪︎ What does it mean to be heavier than a stone?

It will stabilize your emotions, be as solid as the cornerstone of a house and will not collapse, and make you want to own it as bright and long-lasting as a diamond. For example: learning new knowledge and skills, just like the last time I wanted to know what art there is in New York, USA, that is not available in Taiwan, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." ─ Steve Jobs. It must inspire my enterprising spirit. Only my heart and determination to take risks for my dreams can breed my longing.

▪︎ Therefor, there are no plans at the moment, although my professors and scholarship sponsors have been writing to me asking me to go back; if I want to travel, I won't rule it out in the future, but who knows? At our age, we all know: Nothing in this world is possible or impossible in everything. The will with mindset should all be locked in "timing". But when it comes to studying art, my plan is to go to Europe. The art world in the United States really needs a lot of breakthroughs and efforts. The economic market in the United States is too sluggish. What I see is that only well-known artists at the top of the pyramid are taken care of. Other artists also have a hard life. If it is for art, I have no reason to go to Connecticut USA again.

🙂 Thanks for your questions do help me for thinking of my future & review past of my life. above report.

📿 May you have a precious and healthy year-end 🙏

Why so close? So beautiful I understand.. but why?

The simple answer to why I chose macrophotography is that I'm good at it. Even when working with a wider-angle lens, I've always had more success with closer, contained subjects. This is something my photography professor even commented on. At this point it almost feels slightly agoraphobic for me to work with wider subject matter. How can I possible encapsulate the entirety of a mountain range? or a sunset? It seems like pure hubris to even try.

In contrast, the delicate folds of a flower petal are controllable. I can turn them the way I want. I can examine every facet and know everything there is to know about them. I can also share all the secrets I've found with the rest of the world. Art to me is about showing something true to someone who hasn't noticed it before.

And regarding your other ask about possible connections to science. I consider myself very inspired by science photography, but I personally only have a degree in studio art. My father was both a scientist and a photographer who worked at a lab named after Doc Edgerton who was a pioneer in high-speed photography (he's rad, look him up).
