...bler-Ross's faith in Barham is unshaken. A friend, Deanna Edwards, says she attended two darkroom sessions in hopes of changing the psychiatrist's mind about Barham. In both sessions, her entity-guide "Pico" tried to solicit sex. Edwards says she ripped masking tape from a light switch and flipped on the lights, revealing Jay Barham wearing only a turban. "I never heard such screaming," says Edwards, who hastens to explain that it was not the sight of Barham that caused the alarm; the other participants believed that light destroyed an entity. Edwards was sure the demonstration...
...worn and comfortable, decked with the heterogeneous souvenirs of a long life?rows of Indian pottery, elegantly woven tribal baskets and a huge Chinese ceremonial drum. The piano player's head, a bald mass, gleams in the light. His hands, swollen from arthritis, hardened by decades of immersion in darkroom chemicals, skitter over the keys, assaulting the same phrase again and again. "Damn," he says, "I've lost it." But not altogether. Once you have practiced to concert discipline, even 50 years ago, the traces still show. "There used to be a relationship between my piano and my photography," says...
...photogenic seaside town, a Hasselblad camera in hand, but the images he snaps are put aside for his private collection. Instead of turning out new works, Adams devotes most of his working days to making prints of his earlier ones. He spends about four mornings a week in his darkroom and devotes the afternoons to updating the series of books on photographic technique that he began...
...Adams' early and late prints from the same negative, and the difference is interesting. The early ones are of ravishing delicacy; they have a subtlety of discrimination, a continuity of surface tone that are essentially lyric. But by middle age, Adams' work began to shift. In the darkroom, he was conducting from the negative's score?pushing the image to its tonal limit, infusing it with a Wagnerian moodiness. The late prints are public declamations, cast in an epic mode. To Adams, change is simply a matter of knowing more. The later the print, in his eyes, the better...
...dome, which acts as a buffer against the drifting snow, are three prefabricated buildings resembling large mobile homes. They contain sleeping facilities for 40 people, a communications center (including a ham radio shack for contacts with home), a dining hall and kitchen, a small gym and library, a photographic darkroom and several computer-equipped scientific laboratories. In Quonset-like buildings adjoining the dome are the base's power plant, biology lab, dispensary and garage. One of the huts also shelters an ingenious freshwater system that uses heat from the diesel generators to melt snow...
