The box is cool, but I'm really interested in your idea of storing the film holders in bubble wrap envelopes. Thats a great idea!

Rineke Dijkstra, Thomas Ruff.

Its simple - and you can use a tripod and you don't need a speed graphic or press camera. Just take a look at the work of Philip-Lorca diCorcia. He sets up his LF camera in front of a buzy building...

I am an attorney, and I did not use the term “appropriate” in a discretionary sense, I used it in a legal sense. None of this, I repeat, none of this is, actionable in small claims court! The "abuse...

The simple answers are;

1- NO. Abuse of Process, Malicious Prosecution, “frivolous lawsuit” and other similar types of actions are almost impossible to sustain.

2- NO. Small claims court is not...

Ed K. - The simple answer is no - you do not have to remove the images - because, in a nutshell, you are not violating or impinging on their trademark.

Bruce - Because they recognize that the higher function of art is to add something to that which already exists. Up until the beginning of the 20th century, similitude dragged down photography as an...

A little common sense. If releases were necessary in the these situations the prints and books of many well know photographers would never have seen the light of day. Does anyone think Bernd and...

I saw the show a few days ago. Its great. I only had one problem. Because of size limitations in available printing stock many of his large "light box" works are assemblages of two separate...

I just got back from Jeff Wall's show at MoMA. Its great. It opens tomorrow and is definitely worth a look if you're in New York anytime between now and the middle of May.

Times review;...

If you're in the US, what you intend to use the photos for is not important. What you actually do use them for is. If you sell prints or use the images in a photo book then you do not need a release.

For contact printing I prefer 8x10 over 5x7. The prints are easier to doge and burn and have more substance. As for inconvenience, a 5x7 is just as unwieldy as an 8x10, so I go for the bigger format....

I started with my intended end product and let the camera format flow from that. When I went into large format photography I knew I wanted to make essentially two types of prints – contact prints,...

To answer Q1:With Tmax sheet films, Tmax RS is the recommended developer over Tmax regular developer because using Tmax regular can cause problems with dichroic fog. This is per Kodak's...

Gordon – I feel your pain. I think the best photography today is coming out of Germany..Here are some example of the top of my head.

Tim - FOR COLOR HEADS, single filtration does not provide the same exposure time over contrast grades because as the color filtration is cranked up the amount of light hitting the paper decreases...

It can be confusing. Illford gives two charts. The dual filtration chart provides consistent exposure times at each contrast level, while the single filtration chart provides shorter, but different,...

Don - You'll get 00 contrast for both of those settings! The exposure time will probably be different for each. Its the way the various emulsion layers work on VC papers. Contrast is based on the...

The Illford charts are correct.

With a color head, a given contrast level can be obtained by many different color combinations. Using diffferent color combinations on a color head also produces...

I chose to work in 8x10 because it was (and still is) the largest format with readily available film, and because it was (and still is) the largest format easily accommodated by analog enlargement.

Geddes is a financial success, but not a critical success….at least among the critics within the High Art community, where her work is considered to be vacuous and formulaic. Pretty pictures. Form...

You need to use more developer, or to develop fewer sheets at a time. The Kodak tech sheet for d76 says that you can develop 80 square inches (4 sheets of 4x5...I assume you're using 4x5...you're...

Thanks Frank - thats a great one!

Yeah I’m with you on this one Tim. I was a fan of Burtynsky once, a while ago, but I’m not a fan anymore. I’ve seen several of his shows here in NYC over the years. His early work – the railcuts...

Come on everyone, give beechblond a break. Answers are

1 - b. Large Format
2 - b. Increase lens opening size
3 - d. Paper underexposed
4 - c. SLR
5 - No, the times are always exactly the same....
