Sleep talking By Laura Kelly

Courting nature’s sweet nurse

few weeks ago I was staying the night at a friend’s house. It was well past dinnertime. Clean dishes nestled into the drying rack, and a spirited conversation had ebbed. My friend’s 6-year-old daughter held my hand as she guided me up the stairs to the guest room. I kissed her good night and told her I was going to sleep. “But where do you go?” she asked. I pointed toward the bed. She shook her head. “Where do you go?” she repeated. Her face scrunched into a kiddie mix of confusion and frustration. Again I pointed at the bed. “No,” she said. “Where do you go when you go to sleep?” I told her that I stay here, but I go away, and then I come back to the place I never really left. My answer seemed to satisfy her, but as I heard my words aloud, they sounded like something cadged from a fortune cookie. She toddled off to bed, and I tucked into mine, thinking not so much about where I go when I sleep as why getting to sleep has become something I can no longer count on. Sleep—with its falling and waking—has long had potent gravitational pull for me. I’ve contended with wanderlust since my late teens. I’ve lived abroad, traveled to some of the globe’s tangier outposts, added an accordion of extra pages to my passport. All of the exotica and longitudinal otherness pales beside my all-time favorite place to go: to sleep. Shakespeare called sleep “nature’s sweet nurse.” Coleridge claimed it as “a gentle thing beloved from pole to pole.” I read once of something called temple sleep, a restorative ritual practiced in ancient Greece. Those who chose to partake made their way to a particular sacred place. They were garbed in white, given a drink purported to induce dreaming and told to sleep the sleep of the righteous on the temple floor. Come morning, they were awakened and all was once again right in their world. Sleep, such a primal and primitive need, used to come easily and effortlessly.

flaglive.com | July 23–29, 2015

But years of bad sleep would have rendered my world a caustic shade of grey. I imagine it feeling as if my eyeballs had been rolled in sand and returned to my sockets. And then there is the menu of the brain-related ailments sleeplessness washes ashore in its toxic wake: risky decision making, impaired wit, quickness to irritation, lethargy, inability to focus, slurred speech, hallucinations. In these last four or five years I haven’t reflected as much on where I go when I sleep as much as I’ve noted how I go to sleep. If fortune favors me, the hamster wheel in my head stops spinning. My anxieties lose their itchy demands for attention. I submit, go gauzy and begin to liquefy. The edges of my physical self evaporate like a darkroom photo being processed in reverse. My mind gets drifty, and I seep away from the world. I float to an enfolding, velvety place alone and surrender. I am unafraid. Sometimes dreams are there; many times not. No matter the cinematics or the duration, I come back gathered, rearranged, able. On Monday I returned from nine days at an artists’ retreat on a small island in a lake between Minnesota and Canada. The island was unpopulated except for the 10 of us there. No cars or cell phones or alarm clocks. Days full of rain and books and writing. Nights ripe with unbroken sleep. How can I go there again? How can I get out of my own way and make way for Hypnos to leave his cave and the river of forgetfulness that runs through it? As I know, it all begins with shutting my eyes. Asleep, 1932 by Pablo Picass

Can I get an amen here? I’ve taken that ease for granted until the past five years or so, when I’ve come to find that there are more and more nights when—despite a still mind, a good bill of health and a clear heart—sleep and all its deliciousness elude me. Even though a good sleep is only enjoyed in the past tense, in the present tense of night when I am primed and ready, it feels sometimes as

if my wish to sleep well curls back on itself and interferes with sleep coming my way. I’m grateful that I am not in the same category as my friend Dee Dee, who has been in a lifelong wrestling match with sleep. According to the National Institutes of Health, about 70 million Americans call their sleep problematic, elusive, a disorder. The occasional sleeplessness, OK, we all deal with that.

Just be cool By Kelly Poe Wilson

‘R

elax.” “Chill.” “Don’t worry about it.” “It’s fine.” New meditation mantra? Not quite. More like a list I am compiling of everything you should not say to the person whose iPhone you just spilled your slushy on. Or whose car you just backed into. Or even whose clean floor you and your 30 giggling friends just tracked mud across. Twice. I know: it’s hard to believe that such a list is necessary, but events this summer with the teenagers I live with have proved me wrong on this score time and time again, to the point where I feel the need to pass out a few helpful pointers—an Idiot’s Guide to Being an Idiot, as it were. Or maybe it’s not about being an idiot (or maybe not just about being an idiot.) Maybe it’s the belief that you can simply wish something into being with a really bad application of magical thinking, à la The Secret, which, if that’s the case, does nothing to detract from my first theory. (See Idiot, being one, above.) Still, no matter how firm a believer you are in the power of positive thinking, you have to learn, at some point, that making shushing motions and repeating, “It’s fine, don’t worry about it, relax,” over and over again to the person whose work or property you just destroyed not only will not solve the problem, but outside the bonds of family might actually get you punched in the face.

Examining the chill factor Because let’s be honest here: “It’s fine” and all of its variants are actually just another way to say, “Shut up about it already.” And telling someone to shut up about their freshly destroyed iPhone—scratch that, about the iPhone that you freshly destroyed—is an excellent way to get punched in the face. I know you don’t believe that’s true. I know you think it doesn’t matter what words come out of your mouth at that moment,

because just like with an attacking bear, it’s all about the tone and not the content, but I’m here to tell you that you are oh so wrong. Because, unlike the bear, we can understand what you’re saying, and trust me, you’re just making it worse. (And, just to be clear, you’re probably making it worse with the bear, too.) I completely understand the urge to make the yelling stop. I understand how annoying it must be to have someone yelling in your face

See, what you don’t understand when you’re trying to make me feel ‘better’ is I’ve already given up on feeling better. Now my only option is to make you feel worse.

just when you have finally achieved the level of mellowness that makes it possible to spill a slushy on someone’s brand-new iPhone in the first place. And I feel bad for you. Real bad. However, not as bad as I feel for me, and my yelling at you is a way to bring those two feelings of badness into balance. See, what you don’t understand when you’re trying to make me feel “better” is I’ve already given up on feeling better. Now my only option is to make you feel worse. If I can just get solid proof that you feel as bad about ruining my iPhone as I do about it being ruined, maybe I will start to be able to get over it. This cannot happen when you are smiling beatifically (which, I have to tell you, looks a whole lot like idiotically) and saying, “Dude. It’s fine.” One day you, too, will have nice things— or rather, you will have nice things that you have had to pay for yourself—and you will understand the feelings that come with watching those nice (and expensive) things get destroyed by someone who has the gall to actually giggle about it. And when that day comes you had better believe that I’m going to have my slushy ready. Kelly Poe Wilson has lived in Flagstaff since 1985.

The Green Room will be one busy bee Friday night starting with Andrea Gibson (read more about the renowned poet and activist on page 14) and continuing with one of this hometown’s favorite rock outfits. For all those familiar with what it’s like living in hell, we’re surprised frostbite isn’t rampant because it’s been mighty chilly for some time now since Mike Seitz and Jeff Lusby-Breault came together in a cosmic fit of rock ‘n’ roll symbiosis nearly unparalleled in the genre—especially outside any metropolis. What was certain to be a cold day in Hades arrived the day Enormodome lambasted eardrums Arizona style with their signature jams heavier than any anvil Wil E. Coyote ever encountered. And even with only two pieces, the skuzzy riff supply and headbang-worthy choruses are not in any danger of short supply. The hits will keep flying like fists of fury as the Phoenix-based three-piece, Miles to Nowhere, kicks off the evening’s musical endeavors with their melodically punky wares fronted by Kristen Taylor. With their current five-song EP recorder at Studio City, it’s no surprise the tracks are squeaky clean and scuffed in all the right places. Seek thee out at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz. Music starts at 10 p.m. Free. 2268669. www.enormodome.net.

t will be just another night in a hay field … ‘til Joe Nichols climbs off them four wheels, aka his tour bus, and showers Flagtown with sweet nothings about taking a twirl behind the barn and tossing three sheets to the wind when Bon Jovi starts churning out of the radio. “Yeah,” he’ll say, and that’s it. Kidding! Surely this sassy Arkansas native has more to say than a single syllable. This singer-songwriter with a seemingly Don Johnson-esque bent and a single earring favors vintage country with lyrics that deal with the typical pop-leaning vein the genre has adopted in modernity. Give ol’ Nichols a shot of tequila, a pretty lady and scattered hay and one can imagine where this is going. Still, it’s been working for the Southern-fried gentleman as his latest album, Crickets (2013), has garnered him anything but. He’s stacked the chart-climbing ditties from his eighth studio cut, saving “Yeah” and “Hard to Be Cool” for last year. Blame it on that smile, he must even dazzle himself.

The Flagstaff Mall is home to a small food court, at least a couple department stores and, during the holidays anyway, even Santa Claus. It’s not Christmas and Santa’s sleeping, but since the mall is apparently having some sort of kooky mid-life identity crisis, it will be the newest venue for the Artists’ Coalition of Flagstaff’s flagship event of the calendar year. The Prelude to Flagstaff Open Studios will give visitors the opportunity to scout for their favorite ACF artists while shopping for new socks. Two birds, one stone—amirite? That’s just courtesy, as is offering this month-long sneak peek at the 64 exhibiting artists’ work, which will be available for perusal before and during Open Studios weekend Aug. 22–23. There is no way in the world one human could visit every artist’s studio across the entirety of Flagstaff from Westside to Doney Park over just two measly days, so this is the time to get a solid gander and start making that list, checking it twice and all that. The free opening reception takes place at the Flagstaff Mall, 4650 N. U.S. 89, in the space between Charlotte Russe and Laser Tag, from 6–9 p.m. The space is also open daily through Aug. 23 from noon–6 p.m. 522-6969. www.flagstaff-arts.org.

THEY ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT‌

When all is cool and still on an enchanted summer night, the imps and fairies come out to play. Except, with Circus Bacchus’ Midsummer Night’s Circus, all these forest creatures also happen to be wildly athletic and consistently demonstrate impeccable core control and fearlessness even dangling in midair. And not only does Flag’s preeminent circus-styled troupe combine live music, quirky humor and more into their feats, but this particular show is intertwined like an aerial dancer and shimmering silks with an abridged version of Shakespeare’s comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The favorite characters from this classic will be reprised as Hippolyta belly dances in the aerialist’s forest, Bottom and Titiana swing through the air on the trapeze, and Puck aims to be as incredibly mischievous as ever amid actors twirling and juggling on stage. Flights of fancy and quirky twists abound as literary and aerial art combine at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen. Some adult humor peeks through this show. Doors to this all-ages show open at 7 p.m. and it all takes flight at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. 556-1580. www.orpheumflagstaff.com or www.circusbacchus.org.

EDITOR’SHEAD

Analog rag in a digital world By Andrew Wisniewski

‘P

rint media is dead.” ‌I hear these four words every so often, and have heard them for more than a decade now, long before I ever found my way to the humble seven-person aisle that makes up the core of Flag Live. And the message continues to reach my eyes and ears, whispering a subtle, inevitable truth that it isn’t dead yet, just dying. “You’re here just in time for the death rattle,” said Phillip Seymour-Hoffman as Lester Bangs, editor of the now defunct Cream magazine, in Almost Famous. I’m not exactly sure when it all officially started. I want to say it was during my college years around the turn of the century when technology and the Internet really started to make big leaps forward. Whenever it happened, it’s been an interesting ebb and flow. Numerous publications have jumped familiar ship to go digital only, like Newsweek in 2012 after spending 79 years in print, and The Onion a year later, who nailed the cover of their last print edition with the headline: “Print Revenues Up 5000%.” Then there’s the digital natives like Huffington Post, and somewhere in the way back is us, little old Flag Live, still breathing life into yellowing pages. More often than not there tends to be a theme or narrative that courses through the veins of a given issue of Flag Live. I can’t explain it so much as say it’s this thing that just happens. To that point, this week we ran a feature on Hidden Light LLC (see the story on page 12), who pays homage to the past by specializing in processing black and white film and printing photos using the platinum-palladium and silver-gelatin processes—which dates back to the early 1800s. In some ways, print media is en route to becoming like those photos, but we maintain hope print media will make a thoughtful resurgence as vinyl records and independent bookstores have in recent years. People occasionally ask me if the Live will ever go completely digital, and my answer is always, “Not a chance.” I say that because I believe Flagstaff is unique in the sense that our readers still like to pick up, hold, feel and look at a hard copy of what we have to offer. It makes sense here: a free weekly publication where the movers and shakers and creative types who make Flagstaff the budding mountain town it has become can in some small way see first-hand

the fruits of their labor, and locals as well as tourists can hang onto a copy as they plan their weekend. On the flipside, and to ask a question many folks have regularly asked our staff over the last 18 or so months: What’s the deal with your website? As many are aware, we redesigned Flag Live in February of 2014. When we made the call, the tired website that had been around for so long also departed with the old layout. What took its place was a “temporary” PDF/ flipbook that wasn’t all that temporary, and ended up hanging around for way longer than any of us had planned. We jokingly claimed we were weasel-proofing the office, which, actually is true. It was nasty and the battle raged on. But the good news is we’ve finally secured the workplace. Beginning this week, in conjunction with our newest issue, we’ll be launching a brand new website. That’s right. It’s nothing super-duper fancy, but we hope will be more user-friendly, sexier, and yet another enjoyable way to take in Flag Live. The address will remain the same as always (see below). And for those who prefer to see the actual layout via flipbook, that will still be an option. But the truth about any ongoing rodent invasion is they never really quit— ever. Just ask Carl Spackler. So, as we bring this sucker live, please bear with us as the site will likely require some fine-tuning over the coming weeks. Here in the Daily Sun offices our aisle is called the “niche” aisle which, in the world of journalism, means exactly what most folks might guess: a publication that fills a specific area. In our case, those areas are the worlds of art, entertainment and culture. And we like to think we do a good job filling said gap. Perhaps one day long down the road that term will take new meaning and refer to groups who keep the old school new and relevant for classic souls who love thumbing through pages of ink and newsprint. I hope not, but until that day comes, should it ever, we’ll be sure to keep one foot hard on the print media pedal with a finger on the digital switch. It only took a year-and-a-half, but we’re slowly catching back up. Check out the new online “us” at www.flaglive.com.

News Quirks BY ROLAND SWEET

‌Curses, Foiled Again Police who accused Alexander Katz, 19, of stealing a car in Logan, Utah, said he and his girlfriend had to abandon the vehicle and call a cab because he didn’t know how to drive a stick shift. The car’s owner spotted the vehicle being driven off and called police, who found Katz and his girlfriend waiting outside a nearby convenience store for their cab. Police Chief Gary Jensen said that although Katz couldn’t drive a stick shift, his girlfriend could and was giving him directions while they tried making their getaway. “I’m not 100 percent certain why she doesn’t just get around and get in the driver’s seat so they can take the car and use it,” Jensen said. (Atlanta Journal Constitution) A shoplifting suspect in Okaloosa County, Fla., managed to evade sheriff’s deputies chasing him, but only after his car hit several mailboxes, which ripped off the car’s entire rear bumper. The license plate was attached. Deputies traced the plate to Devin Ramoe Stokes, 20, who told them he was sorry for the deed and the damage. (Northwest Florida Daily News)

Ablution Solution Spas in Japan now offer ramen noodle baths. The baths are filled with ramen pork broth and synthetic noodles. Soaking in the broth is said to be good for the skin and to boost metabolism. “Lately people are very concerned about having beautiful skin, and they know the effect of collagen, which is contained in our pork-based broth,” said Ichiro Furuya, owner of the Yunessan Spa House in Hakone. (Time) Azerbaijan’s Naftalan Health Center now offers oil baths, which the spa’s doctor insisted cures up to 70 ailments. “Naftalan kills everything: viruses, bacteria and fungi. Its consistency is unique and pure. It does not contain any dirt,” Dr. Hashim Hashimov said, adding that customers are allowed only 10 minutes in the tub before scraping down and showering off the sticky substance, which is then used for the next customer. “Usually we lose some material on each person, and every time we add material for each person. But to dump the whole thing is impossible, as the material is expensive.” (International Business Times)

Private Justice The backlog of court cases in Florida is prompting people waiting for trials to turn to private judges. They promise speedy and private settlements, “not in open courtroom, where everyone and their brother is attending,” said Robert Evans, a public judge for 20 years before he went private. “My marketing motto is: ‘How would you like your trial tomorrow?’” Orange County Chief Judge Fred Lauten conceded that “private judging comes with a cost,” pointing out that people who “can’t even afford an attorney … they’re not going to be able to afford a private judge.” (Orlando’s WKMG-TV) Los Angeles County authorities charged David Henry, Tonette Hayes and Brandon Kiel with impersonating police officers after the three showed up, two of them in uniform, as a “courtesy call” to inform sheriff’s Capt. Roosevelt Johnson they were from the Masonic Fraternal Police Department and setting up operations in the area. The agency’s website claims jurisdiction in 33 states and Mexico and, through the Knights Templar, traces the department’s roots back 3,000 years. “When asked what is the difference between the Masonic Fraternal Police Department and other police departments, the answer is simple for us,” the website says. “We were here first.” Henry, 46, identifies himself as “Chief Henry 33,” and the website refers to him as “Absolute Supreme Sovereign Grandmaster.” Johnson said the purpose of the purported police department is unclear. (Los Angeles Times)

Quirks News Anchors Away Canada’s National Defence decided to decommission a 45-year-old navy supply ship without a replacement because mechanics in Halifax were spending a “disproportionate amount of time” keeping the vessel operating, according to official documents, by trying to locate spare parts, “some of which have been procured via eBay.” The original manufacturers long ago stopped making the parts; some were reportedly “beyond acceptable limits” because corrosion was compromising structural integrity. The vessel, HCMS Preserver, had been scheduled for decommissioning but was kept afloat after the government canceled funding for its replacement in 2008. Building a new one will take at least eight years. (The Canadian Press)

Matchmakery Iran has launched a state-supported matchmaking website. Deputy Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Mahmoud Golzari cautioned that “Find Your Equal” is not a dating site. Its goal is to produce 100,000 new marriages in the coming year. “We have high demand for marriage and 11 million [young single adults] who are increasing every day,” Golzari said. Marriages are necessary to overcome Iran’s declining birthrate, according to the government, which last year banned vasectomies and permanent birth control measures in women. Officials, including supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have publicly urged couples to have more babies to repudiate “undesirable aspects of Western lifestyles.” (The Washington Post)

Short Fuses Haden Smith, 18, demanded that his mother intervene to mend his relationship with his girlfriend and threatened to kill her chickens if she didn’t. Deputies in Limestone County, Ala., said Smith vowed he’d kill a chicken every 15 minutes and gave her a deadline of noon. When the deadline passed, he started sending her picture messages of each dead chicken. He got to six before deputies arrived and arrested him. (Tribune Media Wire) Tired of waiting at a hospital’s emergency room in Morganton, N.C., Katlyn Milligan, 20, set off the sprinklers, resulting in “copious amounts of water” pouring down, according to the police report. Milligan, who was waiting for a relative to be treated, said that after two hours, she couldn’t wait any longer, so she went into a bathroom and held her lighter to the sprinkler. Cleanup delayed ER operations another two hours “at the busiest time of the day,” Nursing Administrator David Everhart said. Milligan herself had to be taken to the ER to check for effects from exposure to the sprinkler’s stagnant water. After she was released, police arrested her. (New York Daily News)

Gaming the system Doing more (and better) with video games in film

his week’s release of Pixels is giving us a big screen look at video games from a new angle. Aliens invade Earth, taking the form of video games from the ’80s to cause mayhem and destruction. I must admit that I don’t have much hope for a high quality film, but I’ll likely wind up heading to the theater to check it out anyway. Adam Sandler’s latest foray into theaters has a number of elements that are going to rustle up enough nostalgia to get me to give Pixels a chance. It would seem the marriage of video games and film would be an easy one. Hollywood delights in bringing existing intellectual properties to the silver screen, but when video games make the transition to the theater the results are typically lackluster. The list of video-games-turned-films that are even tolerable is hardly worth iterating. Few have any kind of staying power, with the possible exception of the Resident Evil series, which is getting a whopping sixth installment sometime in 2016. Even one of my favorites, Advent Children (2005), brought Final Fantasy VII into the realm of feature length film with stunning CGI animation, but still had its issues. Fans of the game are capable of finding the film enthralling, but those without ties to the source material are likely to be left more bewildered than impressed.

By Sam Mossman

When video games are tied to film in other ways the results can be quite a bit better. Wreck it Ralph (2012) gives us a look at video games from inside the box, and the concept works well in the context of that movie. The same goes for both of the Tron films, though that franchise has a larger focus on its alternate digital reality than just the video game elements. It also bears mentioning that both Wreck it Ralph and Tron were not based on any existing game, so the story was able to take the front seat. It’s a shame, really. There are tons of video games that have clear and clever ideas and should have the potential to make good films. It seems like just about every other media has been able to survive the transition to film without the same blundering mistakes that seem to plague the video game movie. Over the years we’ve even seen storytelling take on a major role in video games, but we’ve yet to see it capitalized in a major way on the big screen. I can’t quite put my finger on the reason for it. Likely because there is no universal misstep that is dragging this genre of films down, so there is no effective cure-all to get them back on track. Perhaps we’ll just have to wait and see someone get it right before we really know what it is that the low quality video game films thus far are missing.

nside the darkened Doris Harper-White Community Playhouse, the spotlights are positioned, and the G-strings, oh they’re adjusted. ‌Two year’s since Theatrikos’ last musical, Jan Rominger and her crew are resetting the bar to expose the exploits of rag-tag steelworkers who’ve devised a plan to regain their assets and clamber back up the monetary mountain. Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve been warned, it’s about to get steamy with The Full Monty. As Chase Coleman’s live band swells in the upper wings of the theatre, a group of whooping ladies in the “Rust Belt” of Buffalo, N.Y., scramble to stuff dollars into the beltline of a touring Chippendale’s dancer, Buddy “Keno” Walsh. For the first time in their lives, they’re relishing the financial freedom that comes with “A Woman’s World” and wondering why their husbands can’t embrace confidence. Meanwhile, the

men are languishing like “Scrap” as they examine just how they got to that point—unemployed, frazzled at the idea of money. The self-assured females crack jokes in the strip club’s bathroom. The recently divorced Jerry Lukowski (Brad Garner) and his best friend, Dave Bukatinsky (Aaron Paul), cower in a stall, overhearing exactly what their respective partners, Pam (Alexia Coppell) and Georgie (Staci Dickens), think of them. After, they run into Walsh (Sean Meehan) who seems to have struck gold with his titillating gig. Their conversation leads Jerry to the next logical step to seeing his son, Nathan (Matthew Sutphen) again: strip for cash. With his buddies on board, they will have one twist. They vie to stiffen more than their upper lips, and slip past their knickers for the full monty. One by one, six guys pile on the train to T&A. Jerry, Dave, Ethan (Keenan Larson), Malcolm (Jim Dugan), Harold and Noah

(Kameron Owens)—known affectionately as “Horse”—are deciding if their act is more likely to get the crowd hot or bothered. In addition to a way to move tickets to their escapade, the stripping encompasses a larger metaphor for tearing down walls, exposing the vulnerability of human existence. The would-be dancers contemplate their relationships, sexuality and how people may judge their bodies between bellies and narrow chests, exposing their vulnerability in tunes with maximum capacity to rattle around for hours after the curtain closes. “Guys, we’re comfortable in our skin as long as it’s covered. Now that we have to take our clothes off, we’re going to be evaluated just like we evaluate women,” explains Jamey Hasapis, who will tackle the role of the uptight former foreman, Harold Nichols.

Someone once told me that loneliness lives in the same part of the brain as physical pain. I believe that. And I believe that anything is tolerable if one can know it is not being tolerated alone. — Andrea Gibson

“I started writing when I was very young, but I didn’t fall in love with writing until high school,” Gibson says. “I initially spent a lot of time writing about loss. I remember my mother worrying about how dark my stories were.” The darkness Gibson refers to in her earliest writing is not something one should shrug off to a novice’s voice or an adolescent’s sophomoric style. It is something deeper than that. “I spent a lot of my childhood running around the woods, catching salamanders, building tree houses,” she says. “In many ways, it was wonderful, but I also lived with a pretty consistent anxiety of being found out for who I really was, whether that be queer or just generally different, and that theme [was] certainly prevalent in my early writing.” Gibson says this distrust or fear of self stems from the institutions she was raised in. “I grew up in a Baptist church and went to a Catholic college,” she says. “I think a lot of the Christian imagery finds its way into my work as a sort of reclamation. Growing up, I believed in a

god I was told would not love me if I was queer.” Because of the fear and anxiety surrounding being accepted by others, by God and society, Gibson had to reconcile her beliefs, which meant revising, reclaiming, and reforming—the way one might chip away at an unfinished sculpture or revise a draft of a poem.

“Reframing the stories of the Bible in my current work has been part of the process of loving myself,” she says. “I don’t identify as a Christian and haven’t for several years. When I think of God I don’t think of something outside of myself, or outside of any of us.

Arrested development Finding the future in the past with Hidden Light

‌P

latinum-palladium. Silver-gelatin. Enlarger, stop-bath, fixer and darkroom. ‌They are words to photography that the words “vinyl,” “tape” and “analog” are to music. They are words fading from memory in favor of another word: Digital. But a Flagstaff company has found success in keeping the “old school” of photography alive by paying homage to it and focusing on handmade and meticulously crafted prints. Stephen Saunders and Corey Allen are co-owners of Hidden Light LLC. The company specializes in processing black and white film and printing photos using the platinum-palladium and silvergelatin processes. “When we first started, we were anti-digital and came out swinging,” Saunders says. “We always liked handmade prints made in the darkroom. What used to be an everyday process is now called ‘alternative.’” The two envisioned the business in 2000 because nobody in the city was printing black and white photos at the time. They opened up the first shop in 2001 on the east side of Flagstaff. Photographer Tom Alexander shared space with them. They eventually moved to their Southside office, and Alexander still shares space with them. The business has since grown to also include The Framing Department, where photographers and artists go to get custom frames for their projects. On their website, Saunders and Allen state: “We feel it is important to continue making the finest black-and-white photographic prints, each print by hand in a traditional wet darkroom. Just as the fine craftsmanship is valued in a fine piece of furniture, hand-blown glass, or a priceless oil painting, we feel it should also be valued in the creation of a handcrafted black-andwhite photographic print.” The business is one of a handful across the U.S., and the business has clients from all over the country as well, Allen says. There are two custom-built darkrooms—one devoted to the platinum-palladium printing, the other to silver-gelatin printing. Photos of various sizes hang throughout the business. Matt Beaty and Taylor Mahoney round out the Hidden Light team. When Beaty isn’t working with frames, he’s working in the darkroom with platinum-palladium prints, which is Allen’s specialty. Mahoney spends the brunt of his time making the silvergelatin prints. All four men have an abiding love for photography and printing in the darkroom. Beaty and Mahoney found they loved the darkroom while still in high school. Beaty came to Northern Arizona University specifically because they had a “wet darkroom.” The wet darkroom at NAU shut down for a few years, but has since reopened for students to get some darkroom experience. Still, many young photographers now may never have been in a darkroom. “They all do digital everything now,” Beaty says.

Ask them about modern ink-jet printing, and they’ll all shrug and say, “It’s fine.” Put an ink-jet print next to a darkroom print, and the difference is apparent, all four men say. But ask them about darkroom printing, and the conversation becomes animated and passionate. Darkroom printing brings out deeper tones and details. It just seems to have “more soul,” Mahoney says. Platinum-palladium printing is much more expensive than silver-gelatin printing, Allen and Beaty say. It is the preferred printing for collectible photos. Not only are the metals used in the process precious, but the process itself, which requires hand painting the chemicals onto the printing paper before exposure to an image, takes time. “Think about platinum jewelry,” Beaty says. One project that the business has been working on is “The Conlon Portfolios.” The project is a series of platinum-palladium prints made from glass negatives of legendary baseball players by photographer Charles M. Conlon (1868-1945). “I can remember holding a picture of Babe Ruth’s face and just getting chills,” Allen says. The price difference between platinum-palladium and silver-gelatin printing is considerable. An 8-inch x 10-inch silver-gelatin print can cost between $50 and $60. A similar-sized platinumpalladium print starts off with a $325 price tag to setup the work, with an additional cost of $154 for the print. A 30-inch x 40-inch platinum-palladium print costs upward of $1,800, Allen says. The silver-gelatin process, although cheaper, requires every bit as much skill, craft and art in reproducing images. Mahoney used terms like “dodging” and “burning.” He talked of adding and subtracting light. Darkroom printing is a more stable process, Allen says. The photos preserve well for museums

and archiving. In the case of platinum-palladium prints, they can potentially last up to 1,500 years. Mahoney added that 100-year-old silvergelatin prints can look as good as the day they were printed. In recent years, film has been undergoing resurgence, Saunders says. Allen added that although some companies have gone belly up in the face of digital, others have consolidated and continue to offer the material needed to keep the older technologies alive. “There’s still a lot of people doing it,” Allen says. Beaty, looking at Mahoney, says, “Our generation is finally like, ‘Hey, this is all right!’” Hidden Light does its part to keep the darkroom and film alive and kicking. Their business is open for photographers and enthusiasts to learn the process. Saunders said their mission is to share the knowledge and collaborate. “We’re open to have people coming in and working,” Mahoney says. Beaty said that many of the clients come to relearn the process. “The clients who come to us say, ‘Man, I used to do that when I was in high school.’” Over time, personally and professionally, Saunders and Allen began to merge the old and the new. Now, the business can take digital photos and make handmade prints from them. “Personally, I’m not swinging against digital anymore,” Saunders says, smiling. Allen reiterated that the goal of the business is still “traditional handmade prints for who wants them.” He adds, “Our plan is to keep doing it as long as we can.” Hidden Light LLC and The Framing Department are located at 427 S. San Francisco south of the train tracks. For more info about both, call 527-1847 or visit www.hiddenlightllc.com.

Being there Doug Hughes: Protecting Democracy from Plutocrats

he price of liberty is said to be eternal vigilance. But just being watchful rarely does anything to stop the theft of our rights. Instead, the real price of liberty is open defiance—the courage to stand against the oppressors. And the price of that can be prison. Doug Hughes has dared to defy the corrupt, plutocratic order that the moneyed elites, both political parties, and the Supreme Court have imposed over us. Dismayed and disgusted that We the People are blocked by big money from having our voices heard and responded to, this Florida letter carrier chose to get heard with one dramatic act of civil disobedience. In April, Hughes flew his homemade gyrocopter across Washington and onto the lawn of the U.S. Capitol to protest the usurpation of our most basic freedom: the right to be self-governing. This was no stunt, no spur-of-themoment outburst, but a thoughtful, wellplanned, non-violent stand against the tyranny of money. Undertaken in the spirit of Henry David Thoreau and Martin Luther King, Jr., this mailman-on-a-mission was fully aware of and prepared to pay the price of civic defiance. Sure enough, on May 20, a federal grand jury indicted this messenger of democracy on a mess of charges that

could add up to more than nine years in prison. Far from backing away, however, he’s now calling out you and me: “We spend billions protecting the United States from terrorists,” Hughes recently wrote. “It’s time for American’s to spend time protecting democracy from plutocrats.” One time when Thoreau was in jail for his defiance of authority, his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson happened by and asked: “Henry, why are you here?” Thoreau retorted: “Why are you not here?” We can best honor Doug’s sacrifice by “being there” in the fight to save democracy from plutocracy.

REARVIEW

Bartender wisdom Fermenting minds

ver the years I’ve participated in dozens of whisky tastings, both as host and participant. One of those tastings that stands out from the rest was hosted by Ray Pearson, at that time the national sales ambassador for Glenfiddich. His tasting featured Glenfiddich 12 year, 15 year, 16 year, 21 year, and a one that Ray warned us would be a surprise, a blind taste tester dram to see what we thought. Who doesn’t like surprises? So with a hint of mystery lingering on the vapors of each glass, we began to taste. We started with the 12 year Glenfiddich, which is their best known. It’s the number one selling single malt scotch in Scotland; it’s what the Scots drink. (Glenlivet 12 year, incidentally, is the number one exported single malt scotch; it’s what the rest of us drink.) It was balanced. Folks liked it. Not much of a surprise though. We proceeded to the 15 year aged in French Limousin oak casks. Then, the 16 year Nadurra Glenlivet, cask strength and non-chill filtered, meaning it’s a higher percent of alcohol and doesn’t have the oil filtered from it. On an aside, non-chill filtered is how all single malts used to be, but once scotch began to be exported in droves to the U.S. market, where folks put ice in their whisky, they began filtering the oils from the whisky. Why? When scotch becomes cold the naturally occurring oils being aged in oak barrels turns the whisky cloudy. Folks would think there was something wrong. There was nothing wrong at all. In fact, a lot of the taste rested in those oils. This was what aging in barrels tasted like. Fortunately, more and more scotch producers are going back to non-chill filtered, which requires them to do nothing—tastes better, do less work. Why not? I digress. We finished the known drams with the 21 year Glenfiddich aged in rum barrels. All of these whiskeys were amazing and unique, but that curiosity of what was to come weighed over the whole tasting. About an hour had passed since the start of our tasting and Ray produced a clear decanter filled with whisky. He poured as we waited unusually silent. We began tasting. It was exceptional! The talk resumed. “Fantastic oakiness.” “Fruity, the smell of pears.” “A long, smooth finish.“ “A little creamy, almost a butterscotch taste.” As we finished the dram, all around the room everyone, and I mean everyone, thought this was the best scotch we’d tasted.

By James Jay

There were fans of the other varieties, but certainly this last scotch was best. What was it? Ray walked back to the front of the room and picked up a bottle of the Glenfiddich 12 year. It was the first one we’d tried. The only difference was that at the beginning of the hour, right before we arrived, he’d decanted the bottle and let it sit. He’d added nothing. Taken away nothing. Simply letting the whisky sit and the alcohol to evaporate a bit in that decanter had allowed the scotch to open up some. Even more importantly, he removed our expectations. As is the case with scotch, and many things in life, we assume the more expensive product is better. We’ll assume the scotch that is aged longer is better or the one that has some special aging or addition to it tastes better. With the mystery dram Ray allowed our taste buds free reign to work, without our minds telling us what we were to taste. A friend of mine teaches American Literature and will open up his class by reciting a few short lines of poetry that bring up images of water, of home, of sorrow. Gorgeous lines. The students will discuss them. A good conversation on the construction of the poem, its sounds, its images ensue. He’ll then add the poem is by Langston Hughes, a tremendously important American poet and African-American poet who was a central figure in the Harlem Renaissance. Immediately, the discussion shifts to the poem being about the slave trade, or more specifically, about the Middle Passage where many of the slave boats sailed. The expectations of who the poet is take over the poem. It’s not that their conversation is wrong or poor; it’s just that it’s sometimes important to look at the poems themselves first. Ray Pearson’s scotch tasting worked like that. His ability to teach enhanced the flavor in that tasting, simply by finding a technique that allowed us all to taste the dram on its own terms. Slainte.
