Fezziwig Press Images, New & Old, from 17 External Hard Drives...

"The Ikon (A Hint of Blue), Catalina State Park, Arizona" (c) 2018 Stu Jenks.

 

I've been going through all 17 of my external hard drives, part of a house cleaning and studio cleaning before Alexa and I move to North Carolina (Due to some hickups, looks like it won't be until September of 2018 when my wife and I move to Greensboro.) While doing that, I revisited some old images, and found some discarded images that deserved a second look.

Also, the images from my new "Two Newlyweds" series are in this post as well as some other new stuff. Hope you enjoy them too.

And as always, everything is for sale, either as a digital file or as a print. Simply contact me at [email protected] for prices.

Happy Spring, y'all.

Stu

Star Circle at The Biscuit...

"Star Circle at The Biscuit, The Mustang Mountains, Arizona" (c) 2016 Stu Jenks.

I went out to shoot the meteor shower last night. No meteors crossed my camera's view but I did see a bunch with my eyeballs, and I got a nice star circle out of the night. And nothing, my friends, nothing is like gazing at the bright glow of the Milky Way above your head.

I was just at a Starbuck's buying an Egg Nog Latte, when a homeless woman came in and asked the clerk, "Do you have anything for just a dollar?"

I'm not struggling like her obviously, but as my father used to say, "It's not what you make but what you spend." And having my own business, Fezziwig Press, costs money and my little company isn't making enough money right now.

So I'm doing an Amanda Fucking Palmer thing. If I don't ask, you don't know to give.

Fezziwig Press and I have been struggling financially for the last year or so. Namely, I'm not quite breaking even, still a few hundred dollars in the red each month, even with my part time counseling gig and all. I'm making some sales with image rights, book sales, music sales, etc, but not like I did five to ten years ago. So I'm putting out the artistic begging bowl. And I'm giving shit away.

The Transpersonal Papers (1861-2010) was released in 2011. Cost a boat load to produce but I only sold seven ebook copies. (Thank you to the seven, by the way.) So I'm offering it today, to you all, for free.

If you like The Transpersonal Papers, or the StuBlog, or my work, I ask that you give a little money to my Paypal account. My log-in is my email address, stujenks at gmail dot com, spelled like you normally would type it. Donate to my Paypal, or buy some books, or send money to P.O.Box 161, Tucson, AZ 85702. Whatever you like. No expectations, but if I don't ask, you don't know. And of course, if you don't give, that's perfectly all right too. We're all tight these days, don't I know. Or you just might not like my stuff that much. It's all good, as the kids say. Except for my ever-shrinking savings account.

I hope you enjoy the photographs and the stories in this book. Perhaps someday I'll have enough money to print it as a large coffee table book, like it was originally envisioned. Perhaps not, but you can have it right now for free. Enjoy.

And just download the Adobe Digital Editions free software to see and read The Transpersonal Papers: (1861-2010), if you don't already have it on your computer.

Thanks, y'all, and have a Happy New Year.

Love and light,

Stu

Again, going for a cross between the British Aesthetics and the Arts & Crafts Movement of the 19th Century and the American Contemporaries of the 21st.

And I love serendipity, that Dada moment where the meteorite crosses near The North Star during shooting. Blessed accidents.

"Finger Rock Star Circle"

Back to shooting with film for a while. I do love my Rolleis. And those dotted lines are airplanes on their final approach to Pheonix Sky Harbor, a hundred miles to the north.

I know, as Mike Birbiglia would say.

And you all know how much I hate ArtSpeak but I am trying here and in some future images, to make photographs that look both old and new at the same time, both Pre-Raphealite and Post-Post-Modern. I think this one works that way, with the plane trails, the saguaros and the sepia tones. But what do you think?
