I took this photograph to send to her to prove that we went there.,]]> Local Business - sub-category of Self-Portraits. Self-Portraits with people I interact with on a regular basis. Some of whom I have know for years. Debbie has been at Adams for 45 years. I have been shopping there for 42 years, so we have interacted for many years. She has worked in all of the departments except the Garden Center. For a number of years she has been in the candy department. Since I buy candy regularly I go to her department frequently.]]> This is part of the sub-category of Self-Portraits, Local. Business]]> While I was getting things at the store, I started to think that I wanted to take their photograph Seeing them at Adams felt like when separate parts of you life come together surprisingly and idiosyncratically. They didn't fit into the Group category (Groups have to be at least three people). Then I thought a Self-Portrait made some sense. So I found them in the store and took this photograph.]]> I wrote up a job description to send places in order to find someone to assist me with the China 1987 film I am working on. I wrote to various people, including Brent Green. Brent is an artist in residence in Film and Electronic Arts at Bard College. I had never met Brent, but found his information on the Bard College website. He very nicely sent me some names of people he thought might be interested. Dwayne is a recently graduated from an undergraduate program at Bard. We met on this Zoom call and he will do something on the project as an audition for a part time job. I received a three year grant from Vassar College to help pay for some of this. I have been paying Jeff Halstead from the same grant.]]> Rossi's opened its new location in the Eastdale Development in Poughkeepsie, NY in March 2022. I have been going there almost from when it opened. Fabio is one of the sons of the couple that first opened Rossi's in Poughkeepsie. This day all of the coolant leaked out of the station wagon on my way. I asked if anyone in the store had coolant in their car, they didn't. Fabio said he would go out and get some for me, which he so helpfully did. I called Ray at Al's garage and he said I should just put water in the radiator since I would probably loose it on my way to the gas station, I went bak in to Rossi's and Fabio gave me three quarts of water to put in the radiator. When I got to Al's the car as already starting to over heat. Lukas (see Lukas page in Visitors, same date as this one) took me home from Al's.]]>
]]> This self-portrait is part of my local Business sub-category. I did a series of photographic installations in various places I frequented to do errands, which was also called Local Business. These self-portraits are the next incarnation of that project. The first one I did and the only one intact was done at Gladmore Cleaners. The photograph above our heads is a part of that installation. The installations consisted of photographs I did on site and were installed around the establishments without explanation or attribution.]]> I would have liked to also take self-portraits with Bob and Valerie who owned the store. Jo told me that they sold the store three years ago.

In early August, 2023 I was at Adams Fairacre Farms and after I checked out, I realized I hadn't brought my wallet, so no credit card and no cash. The bill was about $85.00. I had a bit of a self-directed fit. Juana said she would lend me a $100. I was very touched by her offer and did accept. I went in the next day and paid her back. A couple of day later when I was shopping there I bought her an orchard to thank her. She seemed surprised and pleased.]]> This self-portrait is part of the sub-category, Local Business.]]> This Self-Portrait is part of the sub-category, Local Business]]> I put out a job description fo assistants for a person to work with me on my China 1984 film.
