<p>Two question Sunday...<br /><br />1. Why analog Stefanie?<br /><br />The celebration of imperfection reconnects us to the real world where we normally mask our flaws. <br />I chose expired Polaroid film because it can show the broken with an expression of endearment. Nothing portrayed my vision so symbolically. <br />The very imperfections became an expression of my passion and love.<br />The quirks, oddities in my work relate to our own life blemishes and somehow make them ok or even remarkable. <br />Honoring that value of imperfection makes it somehow permissible to be, at least for me. <br /><br />2. How do you work?<br /><br />I plan engagements in spontaneity but patiently wait for the magic moment to manifest and then capture it. <br /><br />I use my senses and current affairs to plot that path of serendipity especially when it's a mark of turbulence. The upheaval of balance is the key for chance and allows all unknown forces to contribute to the moment. <br /><br />Then, I look inside myself, ground that emotion and imagine it in a dream. Dreams are the foundation of emotion and the link to our sub-conscience. <br />I try to clarify with a cup of nostalgia in a bowl of emotions and sprinkle it generously with sex. <br />Our sub-conscience is the fountain of our instincts and the subject of my work.

<p>Well I'm obviously here much later than others but as I've stumbled here, I figure, why not have my say...<br>

Ms. Schneider's was way ahead of the curve, she started her style far before it became "hip" to do so. All analog, no digital manipulation. The coloured wigs, hipster glasses, polaroid revolution... all before. I love her work and have collected it for years. It might not be so quickly digested as many others present their work but then it isn't 'fast food'. Stefanie Schneider's art will pass the test of time. </p>

<p>I have received NOTHING. RMFL strikes again. </p>

<p>Same story here Jo,<br>

Even all the employees don't seem to care? Do you think they don't read this blog? If they do, I say to them and also Steve... You have some of the most precious things of ours in your hands. Priceless things. Nothing could hurt so much as to have your memories disappear. You have what can never be replaced. How would you want your most treasured memories taken care of? Just give us our film back, pretty please. </p>

 

<p>Thanks for the last post Jo Howell! I called the number 303 364 6444, talked to the lady and she found our film straight away! The lady said they'll send the film back within two weeks. Neither had been processed. Just glad to get the film back processed or not. So I'm looking for a 'responsible' company to do that now, IF the film comes at all. Waiting.... at least there is some communication now, so there's hope. I don't care about the money anymore. I'll let you'all know if the film does in fact get delivered. Cheers!</p>

<p>303-366-8222<br>

This is the phone number for Steve Dock. </p>

<p>No news at all from Steve concerning the film I've been trying to get back for years. Nothing. Steve if you're reading this, the film is under the name Stefanie Schneider. SEND BACK IMMEDIATELY!</p>

<p>Some news from Mr. Dock concerning our film would be appreciated. Since the 21st of May he has been given back our film from the irs. Mr. Dock, could you please inform us if in fact you have our film and what you plan to do with it. I don't care at this point if the film has been processed, I just want it back. If I have to pay for postage to get it back, I will. Mr Dock. PLEASE enlighten us.</p>

<p>Here's the latest news I've received from Mr. Kevin White who is the irs agent handling Mr. Docks case. Mr. Dock will be picking up the film property that may belong to customers. Mr. White is only able to release this property to Mr. Dock at this time. We can assume that we will have our property back shortly after Friday, May 21. That is if Mr. Dock does the right thing. But at least we can hope...<br>

Mr. Dock, Please return our films, processed or not. <br /> <br />If you have any questions concerning this, Mr White's details are as follows:<br>

<p>May 15th 2010 The RMFL website has vanished (just like my film). There must be hundreds of people who have been ripped off and simply want their film back. Since the biz has been taken, some third party will have our property. Common sense says that they'd return what is obviously not theirs especially since it should be a responsible gov body. Any ideas on who to contact to claim our film? Would like to get on the list of ripped off customers. </p>

<p>What doesn't make sense is that Joseph A Kidd got his film back when they're supposed to be 'locked up'. Seems to me that Steve is able to reach the film if he really wants to. Steve advised me to send RMFL an e-mail inquiring about the status of my film. I have done so but as of yet heard nothing back. I would be interested in getting a legal firm to serve Steve as Joseph has done. If anyone would like to ride along with me, let me know.</p>

<p>I just talked to Steve the owner of RMFL and he states that all the film sent is still in the office but for some reason he is unable to get into the building. I didn't press him for more info as I was very happy to finally get someone on the phone after months of no answer at RMFL.<br>

Thanks to the other poster (R. Sabine) for giving Steve the owners phone number and to Joseph A Kidd, please let me know your details so I can use your services on getting some action on my film. If there is any one with more info please let me know at: canausiri@live.com<br>

I don't know why things are the way they are with Steve. I didn't want to press too much as he seemed to be trying to honestly get it done... I'm still hoping that he will send my film back.</p>
