Among the many musings on his own exquisite artistry, Phil Solomon has also used his blog as a means of offering rare insights into the various daily exchanges of his close friend, collaborator, and colleague Stan Brakhage, as Solomon puts it,

Solomon has most recently posted a striking 16mm glimpse into Brakhage’s delightfully idiosyncratic working process:
