Recently The New York Times writer ERIK ECKHOLM and myself went to northern Wisconsin to see the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help for a holiday story. Here is some info and photos.
info.
On Dec. 8, after a two-year investigation by theologians who found no evidence of fraud or heresy and a long history of shrine-related conversions, cures and other signs of divine intervention, Bishop David L. Ricken of Green Bay declared “with moral certainty” that Ms. Brise did indeed have encounters “of a supernatural character” that are “worthy of belief.”
In 1859, the year after Mary is said to have appeared in Lourdes, a Belgian immigrant here named Adele Brise said she was visited three times by Mary, who hovered between two trees in a bright light, clothed in dazzling white with a yellow sash around her waist and a crown of stars above her flowing blond locks. As instructed, Ms. Brise devoted her life to teaching Catholic beliefs to children.

Kevin Miyazaki‘s, Collect.give turned one yesterday. It is a great site that has photographers donate a print and give 100% of sales to a charity of their choice. Sounds great doesn’t it, guess what, IT IS. Stop by get some prints from top named artist/photographers and do a little good in the process of cluttering up your walls a bit more.

Last night a set of severe storms rolled across south east wisconsin with a great visual light show. After working all day on a assignment and being knee deep in editing a strong storm hit Milwaukee with strong wind, rain and lightning. As my dog Jiro and I jump in the car to chase the storm the rains hit hard not allowing pictures at first. The sheets of rain made it near impossible to see and accidents were everywhere. The storm had already produced a tornado or two just to the west of us and there were unconfirmed reports of a tornado on the ground just a little bit south of us. As the reports seemed to indicate there was no damage with the one closest to us I just decided to try and get a few lightning photos. The first location was hit and miss the city skyline was partly blocked and the light show was moving south of where I was shooting. It was time to move so the dog and I jumped back into the car and relocated. I moved down to a place that I have been eyeing up for a few months now just waiting for a storm. When we arrived the lightning was good but a lot of it was wrapped in rain making it hard to see. Finally after shooting for a bit I got a few bolts that were visible.

Attorney Rodrigo Rosenberg protest – Images by darren hauck
After covering the life of Guatemala over the past 5 or more years I have come to one conclusion and that is anything is possible. I have seen the best of people come through with pure warmth and generosity as well as the dark side of pure evil, This great country is plagued by serious issues that make daily life a constant struggle. The rich are beyond rich, the poor have little chance of peace and safety and corruption knows no bounds. This mix makes for a volatile situation that leaves innocent people crushed in its path. Today the UN released its study on the death of Attorney Rodrigo Rosenburg who was murdered outside his Guatemala City home along with one of his children. Before his death he left a note explaining that if he died the President of the Country Alvero Colom was partly responsible. Now knowing the corruption and violence in the city, this was not a far fetched idea, bold but not unbelievable by any means. Today the real truth or at least the one released by the UN states that Rodrigo alone was the one who ordered his death. Read the story HERE in the New York Times. As soon as i heard about the murder I went down to Guatemala City to find it in a state of confusion. There were protest, there was anger and the split between the people was growing wider. This is understandable but there to me was a lacking of the spark needed to start the revolution that Rodrigo in my understanding was hoping his death would give. The country is going through some deep problems and there is a revolution brewing underneath but the spark to set this all off is not there yet. This may happen soon it may never, but the people of Guatemala are strong and you can never forget the amount of struggle they have been through already. It will be interesting to see what happens in the upcoming months to this great central american country that is suffering so deeply.

I took a nightly walk with my dog Jiro last night, nothing big just the end of the day stretch the legs do your business before turning in for the night. There was a slight change last night though and that was snow, now not what the end of the world snow the TV stations wanted everyone to think but it did make for a fun quiet walk. There is always something really great about snow storms and the quiet the bring over a city, very calming. 
It was nothing special and this is WISCONSIN so snow in Jan. should be expected!!!!! The city took it in stride as did Jiro and HERE is a slide show from the normal weather.
cheers

News agencies are reporting that the Gov. of Thailand are forcibly removing Hmong from their homes and sending them back to the hands of the Lao Gov. Here is the story that NPR posted today.
In 2004 I visited a Hmong refugee camp in central Thailand in its last weeks before being shut down after Thailand felt pressure from neighboring Laos.
Wat Tham Krabok, most widely known as a Buddhist temple that aided in drug rehabilitation, it was also the last remaining Hmong refugee camp left in Thailand. The camp was then home to more then 15,000 Hmong refugees that fled Laos into neighboring Thailand in 1975.
The Hmong, a tribal group from Laos, were recruited by the CIA to help fight the communist uprising in Laos during the Vietnam war. After the US government pulled out of the Vietnam war, and Laos fell to communism (1975), the Hmong people fled to Thailand fearing for their lives for their help in fighting the war with the United States.
Thirty years later, Thailand shut down the last remaining Hmong refugee camp, and the United States tried to fulfill its promise to them of a homeland in the states for their part in the Vietnam war. The Hmong refugees, of which over 50% of the camps average was under 14 years old and who have gone through the interview process as well as received medical clearance, left the 133 acre camp.
This camp, which was their home for over 12 years, has also been under Thai military control for the last three years. The perimeter of the camp is lined with razor wire. This wire protects the Hmong people from outside threats, the military said but it was mainly to keep the Hmong out of the private Thai farm lands that surrounds the camp. The living quarters were mainly constructed from bamboo shoots or old corrugated steel, the floors were all dirt. There was no plumbing or running water in the camp although some did have limited electricity.

After starting my short career printing photos on fiber base b/w paper I have ever been spoiled with the thick rich paper. As times have changed and inkjet printing has come to a high level, the search for a good paper has been a struggle. I have tried “art” based papers which are similar to a water color paper, thick yes but are in a matt finish. I am not a fan of matt papers, plus i have never been able to print color well on these papers. Then there are the semi gloss or luster papers, these are great papers they handle ink well reproduce color amazingly and b/w as well. The new epson printers really do a good job and making neutral prints. Neutral b/w prints has been a bit of a struggle in the past but now this seems to be figured out. I recently was told about a good fiber based photo paper from Ilford called Gold Fiber Silk. Well let me say my search for paper is over. This double weight luster finish fiber based paper is everything i remembered from the wet print dark room. The paper is thick and has a finish from the fiber base glossy paper i used to print with.
Well so far my color and or b/w prints all are very amazing. I will not go into dmax and all that other stuff but there are many reviews to look and numbers and graphs if that makes you happy. I just know it works the prints are amazing the rich shadow to highlight detail is all i could ask for. So I am happy.

I just got two packages with prints I have just ordered. The first was from 20×200, one of the best places to get art work. I got feral house #7 from James Griffioen and Jones Boulevard, #1 by Kevin Miyazaki. Two great scores. I also got Picnic Table, Queenstown, New Zealand 2008 from Emily Shur from a great new project at collectdotgive.org. This I another great score for art cheap and all sales benefit the org of the artist’s choice. great deal at both sites, go check them out and get art for your self or a friend.

This is a post i wish i never had to make. RIP Chris Livingston.
Chris and i first met on assignment while covering the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and Rita in New Orleans LA. We were both working for the European Press Photo Agency and living in a mobile home along canal street. I knew nothing of him before hand but that assignment cemented a friendship that will never be replaced.
Here we are doing some grilling after a day of shooting. (I am on the left and Chris is on the right)
Ever since that job we have tried to talked at least once a week, not a hard thing to do when Chris is on the other line. Chris had to be one of the most humble and overall nicest guys you will ever meet. 100% solid character, great photographer and awesome dad. Why is it the good ones die young? This guy should have lived forever. I talked to him this past weekend on friday as well as sat about various work topics as well as our daily lives, most of the time it was just plain making fun of each other. Lately i was making fun of him because he was complaining about how hot Florida was!!!! Serious, Chris? I am in Wisconsin, help me out a bit, send me some of your weather. Well two days later i get a call from his good friend Gary, I have never spoken to him but have heard stories from Chris about his good friend. Well before Gary could even finish saying a word my stomach dropped I knew the next words were going to forever hurt. Chris was killed that morning while on a training exercise ride on his bike in central Florida. From the reports it looks like a woman blew through a intersection striking Chris. Chris had recently taken up triathlons to get in shape after he found out that he and his wife Cathy were going to have their first son two years ago. Well this one thing that was to keep him healthy for his son ended up being his demise the day before his son Benjamin’s second birthday. Here is the full story from the NPPA on Chris and his life. I must say if there was one great thing about Chris it was he had a great life, a loving wife Cathy who I have gotten to know over the years and a wonderful little son Benjamin who was well know for flirting with the girls at a ripe old age of one. Chris had what everyone wanted and guess what, he knew it and cherished it everyday, he truly loved his life and made everyone around him happy. This is why its so hard to believe this has happened. I feel that the world is worse off with out him.
here are a few links to his work.
There is a college fund set up for little Benjamin. please contact me if you knew Chris and would be interested in helping.

Well the news has been out for a bit now but it looks like the great people at the impossible project have resurrected Polaroid film from the grave. The company has gone through some major set backs and now looks to be ready for production in 2010. It will be nice to get type 55 back and dust off the old 4×5 and put it back to work. This is such a great new light on a sad day in history when the factory shut its doors. I doubt coda chrome has the same fate.

sadlerstock diptych – Images by darren hauck
I recently over the past 6 months or more have been working with diptych’s with my story on the Midwest seen here. I have even before this worked with this idea of story telling, but as of late its been on the front burner for me. Now it does not work with everything, but it does has its place. I recently watched a great little video interview from the live books site http://blog.livebooks.com with one of the best documentary shooters out there, Ed Kashi. as seen here
Ed Kashi on THREE: For RESOLVE – The liveBooks Photo Blog from liveBooks on Vimeo.
here he talks about how this new way of seeing has really opened up his eyes to taking pictures. Great insight from a great photographer. My little fun piece on the annual get together is nothing deep or serious but just a fun look back at some old images that now have a new life.
After a two year period with out a printer in the office i have set up the Epson R2880, previously i used the Epson 2200. The 2200 was a great printer with stellar results if you knew what you were doing and had a little help from a RIP. I used Imageprint which was great, however the price was not. @$500 it was a bit of a knife in the side especially when i only used to the printer for portfolios. Now you can not put a price on something as important as a portfolio i mean that is a top priority so i dropped the dollars and got it. The two together made great b/w prints with no color shift at all and you could even put a b/w image next to a color image and they both were spot on. ( i also have a calibrated monitor) Then came a osx upgrade to my mac and Imageprint wanted a $500 upgrade fee, sorry folks shove it this time. So from there i used some labs to make my prints with decent success, but i did not like the lack of control in printing my self. I kind of like the hands on feel of it all my only touch back to the dark room. So i read reviews that the new Epson r2880 was improved over the old printers and a RIP is no longer necessary. SO i bought one and ran my first test yesterday and low and behold the b/w print first one out of the machine was damn near dead onto my monitor. it ran about a 1/3 stop heavy, not bad the best part is dead neutral! So far this make me happy, more test to come and then the printing the portfolio. Oh yeah its also prints faster!! so far a happy camper.

A bit of positive news for the end of the week. As reported by every US major news source,the economies jobless rate has slowed down for the first time since the summer of 2008. With few job losses then the previous months signs are beginning to show that the bottom has been found. The economy is far from recovery but every little sign of turn around is a welcome sight.

Yet another empty parking lot. A lone crow watches over as nature reclaims what once was a active business corner stone of the neighborhood, employing many.
Found this short poem today.
A Vagrant in Ragged Black Feathers
Ross TenEyck
A vagrant in ragged black feathers,
the crow chases a scrap of paper
windblown from someone’s garbage,
digging between the lines of an old letter;
he hoards stories like flecks of quartz.

White shirts standing up to the political machine of Guatemala.

Well been here a few days and things are now starting to get going. The first few days were pretty slow, as with any assignment in a foreign country access is the main problem. But with the help of amazing friends and people here things are coming together. This picture is from vigilantes who have had to take to the streets to fight the gang members who are threatening to kill the children if the locales do not pay a tax to the gang. The previous night was the fire point when the locales got in a fire fight and killed a suspected gang member during a battle with automatic weapons.
