What Music are you listening to at the moment ?, by ab3 on Mar 30, 2023 18:57:01 GMT 1,
Saw these guys on Sunday night and they were amazing, such a good gig and I didn't realise how good a band they actually are.
Been listening to them non stop since.

Banksy "Kate Moss" Postcard, by ab3 on Mar 20, 2023 12:28:52 GMT 1, Thought it worth sharing the difference between a real and a fake Kate Moss postcard as there are many fakes on eBay.
I've taken photos of both together so you can see the difference.
You can see on the real one that there are detailed shadows especially down her nose and the reflection in Kate's right eye, which is missing in most fakes.
The colours are different and there seems to be a lot more detail in Kates hair in the proper postcards. The fakes seem a bit cheaply printed.
Also comparing them both the legit one seems to have finer lines for the address bit.

If you were going to do a Playlist / Mixtape for this show, what would be your must have songs / artists?

Grayson Perry 🇬🇧 Ceramic • Tapestry • Exhibition News, by ab3 on Dec 7, 2022 12:47:05 GMT 1, My plate arrived yesterday.
I'm really pleased with it, especially as it's the same size as the 100% Art plate by Grayson Perry.
It also has the same gold band around the outside with black artwork / text. They look great together. I have the 100% Art plate framed on the wall in a black Ikea box frame, so this will look perfect next to it.
Thought i'd share the pics of them both side by side for people to see.

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by ab3 on Oct 20, 2022 14:02:32 GMT 1, I'm assuming you're getting the 8"x8" frames? It's the 10" that pops up on that link. Nope, they are the 10 x 10 frames. I think they work well for prints that size. Any smaller and the print might feel squashed / not have enough space.

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by ab3 on Oct 19, 2022 17:06:12 GMT 1, The launch of the a new square print sale is always a painful reminder that I still have a couple of unframed ones sitting in a drawer…. At a first glimpse there is nothing which really urges me to buy. The Martin Parr is nice but not sure it really works on that small scale. I'm the same - does anyone have a good idea for framing that doesn't involve taking them to the framers
I've been using these frames. They fit perfectly and come in black or white. I do take them to my framers to cut a mount, photocopy the back of the image and stick it on the reverse of the frame, and put them all together. It's much better value that way and they're OK doing a few at a time.

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by ab3 on Oct 18, 2022 9:01:53 GMT 1, I normally limit myself to one print per sale, but there are three that I think i'm going to get as I just can't pass up on them.
The Capa - I've always loved these images & the story behind them, him as a character and a photographer, if you get a chance do read the Blood and Champagne book about his life.
Bruce Gilden - such a cool photographer - had a chance to meet him in 2016 when we were both speaking at the Photographers Show at the NEC. Always loved his photos & technique (for his street portraits) but have been waiting for something the family would like on the wall, rather than his usual images which are too 'harsh' for them. This one is a lot of fun.
Luke Stephenson - This is such a nice image and my wife fell in love with it, so who am I to argue. Will look amazing in a white frame.
I could have got a few more as well, but trying to be sensible.
I can't find a discount code anywhere, so if anyone knows of one, that would really help. I do love these Magnum Square Print Sales so much.

Art for Ukraine , by ab3 on Mar 17, 2022 20:53:03 GMT 1, Got ours too this morning. It is a lot nicer than I imagined it to be- the colours look lovely on the paper used. I don't know why, I was expecting a shiny poster or something... that is me told! 🤐 Yep I think I was expecting it to be shiny, with it being a giclee print. I didn't take it out the tissue paper as I wanted to let it lay flat for a while and wanted to protect it, but it looked good through the tissue paper though.

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by ab3 on Mar 15, 2022 11:48:07 GMT 1, Just been to purchase my print. I went with the David Hurn one. I'm a big Beatles fan and this was an image i'd not seen before and I liked that it's very different to most of the shots you see of them.
Should look good in a black frame.
Been getting one print every Square Print Sale for the last few years, so just keeping up tradition. With three sales this year, it's going to get expensive.
Now to find space to hang them all, as i've got about 5 framed already, but not on the wall.

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by ab3 on Mar 14, 2022 17:40:07 GMT 1, Had a good look, there are a couple that I like and will need to narrow it down to one. I kinda said that i'll always try to get one from each sale and build up a collection.
Did anyone manage to get a discount code? I didn't see one in the email.

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by ab3 on Mar 14, 2022 10:13:13 GMT 1, That link above isn't working.
It takes me to a square print sale page, but there are no prints for sale on it. (yet - in the UK)
I've had it in the diary that the sale is starting today, but I haven't had the email yet. Hopefully it'll have the discount code in it, but if it doesn't I might need to get it from someone else, if that's OK?
Looks like: Magnum photographers will be donating 50% of their proceeds from the sale to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
Which is nice.

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by ab3 on Oct 18, 2021 15:09:44 GMT 1, Todd Hido Moriyama Moises Saman That Moises Saman is an amazing image.
Think i'm going for the Mark Power one. I saw the exhibition of this back in 1996 when I graduated from Uni, i've also photographed him and that portrait was in the Magnum archive for a while, also living by the sea it just ticks all the right boxes.
