Photography Fans?, by lha on Feb 17, 2015 19:12:37 GMT 1, Thanks, I am literally just putting the final touches to the print shop and it will be going live this week. The imagery that is raising funds for INSTANCE is a collection of screenprints based around iconic cameras, they were printed ny myself at the Belfast Print Workshop and I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I decided to keep the edition sizes down because it was a pain in the ass trying to register the halftone pattern on large runs plus it keeps the printing process fresh when i am able to move on to a new piece after a number of days. Anyway, below is some of the print imagery from a couple of the cameras.... Thanks for the info Neil, I've dropped you a PM

(or any of the other mediums he uses) Seems like it would turn into a moldy mess at some point in the future....or just smell terrible. it seems as though it is ground and then treated somehow. I have seen a few of my buddy's pieces that he has out of bubblegum and gummy bears. They don't appear to be molding or anything. and my piece certainly doesn't smell. Im sure its treated somehow
magic of art?

Jay Z's 99 Problems music video is based off of his work (visually speaking, according to the DP). This photo was used as an inspiration for the gigposter in the link below (click on the pic in the upper left to get bigger images of it). I have this screenprinted poster framed on my wall. Just a little fun side note.

The water was rather turbulent with a lot of smaller waves and wave froth but the long exposure (about 4 minutes) produced the shown effect. Taking those pics on a holiday with family and friends was an ordeal for my companions.

Photography Fans?, by Someones Brain on Feb 19, 2015 15:55:56 GMT 1, That looks great! Seeing your setup and result I should probably change as well. Using roll-film takes so much steps and time for the finishing works until you see a result. It gives you some more options to "manipulate" with the chemicals, contrasts and the exposure and so on. But sometimes I've collected films for almost a year before going on with developing etc. Polaroid with a pinhole camera seems a pretty good option. What are your experiences with the life span/durability of a polaroid?

Photography Fans?, by Dellboyy on Feb 19, 2015 15:57:20 GMT 1, Great thread, loved the Polaroid and pinhole shots in particular!
I do a bit myself, only a hobby, i haven't really got a consistent style either. I like both film and digital, but i often make my digital shots look a bit like old film shots i guess. Here's a couple from a recent visit to an old hospital in Wales.

Photography Fans?, by Someones Brain on Feb 19, 2015 16:06:16 GMT 1, It's nice to see there are some more photography affine folks around, even though my son would probably say here are a lot old geezers with antiquated photography equipment (pinhole, polaroid, ...). But despite growing up with merely digital camera equipment at least he knows that there are real cameras (not just smartphones) and that photos were taken on film and paper a long time ago. I'll never forget his disappointed look when he tried out my older cameras for the first time and he was looking for a bigger display and tried to control it by wiping with his finger.

Photography Fans?, by Dellboyy on Feb 19, 2015 16:15:27 GMT 1, I can identify with that a bit... as much as i love my digital i've had a bit of an addiction to buying old film cameras in the last couple of years (seeing as so many are just sitting so cheaply on ebay!), and i have caught myself on occasion looking at the back of a film camera expecting to review the shot haha

The dialog I had with my son was like: Can I look at the photo now? NO. Can I have a look at it on the drive home? NO. Can I have a look at it at home this evening? NO. Don't you like me anymore? I LOVE YOU. Then why can't I look at the photo? BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO THIS AND THAT FIRST. How do you know the photo looks good? I DON'T KNOW. When will you know? WHEN WE CAN LOOK AT THE PHOTO. When can we look at the photo? NEXT WEEKEND, MAYBE. - He then went silently off, shaking his head.

I suppose that's actually the reason i like film, i like the mystery around it and the waiting for the reveal, it certainly makes you think a lot more carefully about the shot you're taking. Also using the old cameras has certainly helped me think more about the basics, looking at the light available, and manually changing settings accordingly etc. Digital sometimes makes you very lazy, but then again, i do love the freedom and creativity it gives you.

But sometimes I've collected films for almost a year before going on with developing etc. Polaroid with a pinhole camera seems a pretty good option. What are your experiences with the life span/durability of a polaroid? Depends on the way the Polaroid film is stored. Typically integral film lasts about 2-3 years after the expiration. Peel apart film can last probably a good 3-5 years after expiration, except it'll have color shift depending on the type of film. At this point, I would hesitate to buy any Polaroid film online, as they would most likely be very expensive and chances are they won't work too well (since Polaroid went BK and stopped making film in 2009). I'd go with Fuji film at this point. Impossible Project has film for 600 and SX-70 formats, but they are still perfecting the chemical process (takes a long time to develop, sensitive to light, and not archival).

I think film camera makes people better photographers. It's a deliberate process, since you only have a roll of typically 10 to 36 shots. It takes time to meter and set up the aperture/speed, frame properly, and make each shot count. A lot more thought is put into each picture. I find that with digital, there's a certain spray and pray mentality. With essentially endless shots, people just take a bunch of pictures and certainly one will turn out. Even if it doesn't, it can always be cropped and manipulated in the post on PS. I enjoy the hand-crafted nature of developing my own negatives and having a physical output of the images.

Yeah i agree, it's certainly helped me. I've only been into photography for five or so years, and only had a decent camera enabling me to have full manual control for half of that.
I've always fancied developing my own film. I'm planning on experimenting with cyanotypes first though, so we'll see how that goes!

Photography Fans?, by South Bound on Feb 22, 2015 18:47:38 GMT 1, I am quite shocked sometimes at how some shooters (both digital and film) don't even have a grasp of the basics of photography such as aperture, shutter speed, colour temperature etc... I have met semi-professional photographers who are petrified of using a manual lens on their digital camera. Not because it might damage their camera (obviously it won't if you use the right mount etc...) but they are just terrified of having to manually control their camera during a shoot in case something goes wrong. I do think there is a to be said for training the eye when using a film camera and taking the time to set up the shot without just firing off 100 shots in a few seconds. In saying that, being able to take a load of shots and consider what works and why it works is also a really good way of progressing. Personally film will always have my heart more so, mainly because Polaroid film is the bee's knees for me. Some of the abstract shots you can get from Polaroid makes the s**tty, failed shots worthwhile.
I tend to either want full control, down to knowing the footcandles of my key. Or very little control, like shooting lomography where the inherent flaws of the camera plus the striking image of 120 film can do crazy stuff beyond the shooters control.
If you really want to have some fun, go shoot some RAW stills using a 5D have them printed in as large a format as you can. Then do some wet plate photography (diguerotype,Tintype, etc.) of the printed digital image. The results are quite impressive.

Since i've already shown a couple of digital shots, here are a few random film shots from a few random cameras!
These first are from a Shanghai Seagull TLR:
This is from an old Smena Symbol, which as it turns out didn't wind the film forward properly... but i do quite like how a couple of the shots turned out!
This one from an old Kodak Brownie:
And finally, an old Beirette Junior:

Photography Fans?, by Agent Provocateur on Feb 24, 2015 19:37:38 GMT 1, Film cameras require a lot of patience (from today's accelerated perspective). The dialog I had with my son was like: Can I look at the photo now? NO. Can I have a look at it on the drive home? NO. Can I have a look at it at home this evening? NO. Don't you like me anymore? I LOVE YOU. Then why can't I look at the photo? BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO THIS AND THAT FIRST. How do you know the photo looks good? I DON'T KNOW. When will you know? WHEN WE CAN LOOK AT THE PHOTO. When can we look at the photo? NEXT WEEKEND, MAYBE. - He then went silently off, shaking his head.

Someones Brain that post had me laughing out loud (lol) and rolling on the floor laughing (rofl)โฆ thank god I didn't pimp!
Great post, a perfect distillation (sorry it was dictionary on toast for lunch today) of generational change, and a beautifully succinct description of the difference between the old (slower) analogue days meeting the immediacy (and impatience) of contemporary digital culture.
Buy your son a Walkman and some cassettes, would love to hear his reaction... But dad, how can I select the track I want? Does this C90 have a play list? Where can I see the album cover after I've downloaded it?

And I'm glad I made you (only) laugh, Agent Provocateur. I'm not that old (at least I tell myself so) but it already feels strange to see how naturally our son grows up up with technology that we only knew from science fiction movies. We try to educate him with regard to the history of the technology he uses but from his perspective it's sometimes hard to believe. E.g., I showed him a pic of my first personal computer that I used at the university (on our tablet computer) and he outright started laughing. Not the reaction I was expecting.
Edit: One other good example is the car navigation system. He's so used to it (for longer drives abroad) that he wondered how we managed to arrive e.g. in Italy or Spain when we didn't have such devices. (MY SON, WE USED MAPS AND MADE A ROUTE PLAN. But how did you see the maps when you didn't have the navigation system. WELL, ONCE UPON A TIME MAPS WERE MADE OF PAPER OR CARDBOARD OR WERE EVEN COLLECTED IN BOOKS. Paper maps? YES, PAPER. But how did the map know where you are? I HAD TO KNOW MYSELF WHERE I AM. Huh? And you didn't get lost? WELL, SOMETIMES WE TOOK THE WRONG WAY BUT THAT WAS PART OF THE FUN. Huh?)
These are some great pics, Dellboyy. And I'm glad I made you (only) laugh, Agent Provocateur.

Btw, is the 'like' functionality broken for anyone else atm?

P.S. Again very nice pics, Dellboyy!

Photography Fans?, by met on Feb 28, 2015 4:23:48 GMT 1, I've never seen this image before, and smiled at the Police Story tattoo. Interesting that the speech bubble was left blank. Yes this is a portrait of Dash Snow a Respected Graffiti artist who was also documented his life through Polaroids and photography he was involved with Deitch early on and passed away young, this photo is iconic in that it was not just a portrait but summed up how he passed away in a tub and around what he loved. Here is some Dash Snow Photographs but most of his stuff is pretty hardcore documenting a crazy lifestyle [...] Thank you for the information and additional photos.
Dash Snow is relatively well known in the UK, at least by those who followed New York graffiti and the LES contemporary art scene in the 2000s, including what the likes of Deitch Projects, Kathy Grayson, Agnรจs B. and Purple magazine would take an interest in.
The Hamster's Nest installations in particular with Dan Colen received a fair amount of attention here, and Phillips London in its contemporary sales continues to feature Snow's collage or newspaper-headline pieces (with or without spunk). Cheryl Dunn also took interesting photos of him. A memorable one for me is a shot when he was just a teenager helping out McGee, James and Powers with their Street Market exhibition at Deitch in 2000.
My personal view is that Dash Snow's art is far less impressive than his persona and the impact it had on the public. As with the YBAs in the UK in the 1990s, he benefitted enormously from his celebrity-artist status, a tabloid-style cult of personality and emotional factor that I believe continues to skew perceptions about the artistic merit of his work โ or the work he left behind, since some people may try to argue that his whole life was a work of art. Five years ago, I even remember seeing an Australian street and gallery artist in London looking like a creepy Dash Snow wannabe or doppelgรคnger.
The specific interest for me with that photograph was spotting the Pettibon / Black Flag tattoo. Given Snow's character and prior behaviour, I was a little surprised he left the speech bubble blank rather than going whole hog by including the original text, "Make me come, faggot!"

Yeah he seemed to really push the lifestyle Rock and Roll status when he moved to NY and was around the early deitch era. I met him late nineties in SF as a young Graffiti artist who was crushing the city and in the same crew for a bit before he left to NY and really went wild. Most of Daves shots are from SF and some NY visits which capture a earlier side to his work. Many of the photos are pretty Risque do the naked women and general nudity. I agree with you though as his work was based more on a lifestyle of living on the edge, stealing everything, living freely and painting graffiti. To me he is one of many that continue to live this lifestyle and have some friends that still push things, but what set him apart was being in NY during an important era for many artists in the 2000's like you said.
Here are some other Dash Portraits from Dave.
