Book Twelve
A Collection of 12x12" Inkjet Print Photographs
New Work & Selected inkjet printed images from my Blog Image Archives
January 20205 - May 2025
~ This 12x12" Book project is a Work-in-Progress ~
(Note: The blog 12x12" Books were created to serve as an online documentation of all the prints I have made for my 2023-2024-2025 Inkjet Print Project, which is intended create a Print Archive of my favorite blog project images created since 2011 to the present. This particular book contains New Work Created during the making of the 2023 2024 & 2025 Inkjet Print Project. Also I have identified images that were printed 18x18" in addition to 12x12")
(This project is a work in progress. More pictures will be added from time to time. This could possibly be the last 12x12" Book in my 2023-2024-2025 Inkjet Print Project. We will see . . . )
*
Under each of the photographs published below I have indicated (in script type) an Image # and this Project's Title; then on the next line below I provide the Title of the image (which in most cases is descriptive rather than poetic or metaphoric). When I feel that the title does not supply enough context, I will also write additional text below the Title line in an attempt to explain something about the image or my creative process that you (the viewer) might find useful in terms of better connecting with the image in unexpected, meaningful ways.
The tonal mattes that surround each image varies in tone and width according to what looks and feels best for the image. I enjoy thinking of the matte as an atmosphere of silence that surrounds the image and perhaps helps you to become more receptive or empathic to what the image or "Thing" wants to say to you. Becoming silent, stilling the mind, is the best way to see and "listen" to an image, especially an image that is functioning for you as a True, living Symbol. (Visit my project regarding the practice of Contempating Symbolic Photographs)
Finally, if you are viewing this blog project on a desktop or laptop computer, I want to encourage you to click on each of the images (twice) which--I hope--will give you access to an alternate viewing mode that's possible with my blog projects and images. Please read the brief statement below and if you would like more technical information, click on the highlighted blog page title How to Best View . . . .
A brief note about "How to Best View My Online Blog Images"
If you are viewing this project on a desktop computer or a laptop, I encourage you to read my blog explanation regarding How to Best View My Online Blog Images. In brief, click on the images once, then once again; this will (hopefully) enlarge the image and present it in a dark tonal environment at its maximum viewing quality in terms of image sharpness, luminance, tonal gradations, etc. Once you have entered this alternate viewing space you can then use your zoom-in & zoom-out keyboard (or menu) options to adjust the image size, and darken or lighten your computer's screen brightness to suit your equipment and viewing preferences.
Note: the image numbering sequence below may be disrupted due to editing purposes, but each image
has been given its own appropriate project title, image identification number & title.

Drawing on a street with shadows
This image invokes a horrible memory I have about an accident my wife Gloria was in when she
was living in the Bedford-Stuyvasant area of Brooklyn, in the summer of 1969.
I had gone out to see why she hadn't returned to her apartment building and
found a crowd standing around a drawing on the street near the corner
grocery she had told me she was going to. The drawing (of a human
figure) had blood inside it. I asked a policeman about it and learned
that Gloria had been badly hurt bay a car that hit her then ran awa y
from the scene. She had been rushed to the nearest hospital.
(I took this picture in Rochester, NY maybe ten
years after the accident in Brooklyn.)
