Hi folks,
It's been a few years since I have been here, and it's nice to come back and realize what a resource this forum continues to be.
I have a photographer friend in Paris who is looking...
I realize that this may seem purely like tooting my own horn, but actually I wanted to toot the horn of others in this instance, namely all the collectors and friends who bought prints, and the folks...

Dear LF'ers,
I am hosting a special print offer this month to raise funds for the Asian University for Women in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where I just spent 5 weeks photographing for a book to be...
HI everyone,
I think I may be set at this point, but if the person I recommended for some reason does not work out, I will talk to you, bvstaples and Kirk.
I appreciate the advice very much....
Hi folks,
I will participate in a photographic book project next year for an NGO, and they have asked me to find a project manager or consultant to help shepherd the project to book publication...
Hi folks,
Well, it's been two years since I moved my B+W darkroom out of my friend's garage into my garage here in Long Beach where I have not managed to reassemble it. I never seem to find or...
The 7 volume set is a joy to look through, and the price listed is pretty good. i think I paid 150 or more. It includes some previously unpublished images as well. I'm sure the HCB Foundation voume...
I read the article as a fascinating dissection of what we can assemble about an artist's process when we use only the finished results as evidence. Morris is really good at this. His analysis of the...
Welcome to the site, Rob!
Everybody look out for Rob, a true madman in the photographic world, author of amazingly original, beautiful work (done on sheet film but not using a camera - is it still...
Thanks, Jim!
Actually, to paraphrase Lincoln Kirstein, the best photograph looks terrible on the wall next to even the worst etching or drawing, so I am hoping to stand up. Actually Sherrod's...
Dear fellow LF'ers in Northern California,
I wanted to invite you to an opening of my photographs and paintings based on these landscapes by my friend Sherrod Blankner, which will be shown...
In terms of traditional auctions yes, but I think these sorts of online auctions may start to work for emerging artists as well. At least that's my gut sense of how it could go. (I should also say...
If you look at the web model I posted a link to, I think it opens up the door to a wider range of artists (Steaphany, if you think your work is there, make up some local shows you've been in; I don't...
In all the talk about whether galleries are still useful sales models to artists, I think it's also worth talking about the role that auction houses seem to be playing in selling artwork. We tend to...
I have done a number of on-line sales in the past with varying degrees of success since about 2002, and, although I am not active on that front these days, I think they are a great way of getting...
Actually I believe it was free to the world, except to the English, to whom it was licensed. Fox Talbot instead did not give away his inventions until the RPS I believe pinned him down on the ground...
If you can ever get your hands on a first edition of The Americans, it is the most beautifully printed book. The reproductions are not flat but silvery, and actually quite lush in a way. When I was...
Sandy,
Luck would have it that I could not come to Xalapa this time, but please keep us all posted on your next workshops this fall and winter. I am determined to take one with you somewhere...
I thought that the "multiple" votes were merely those of one's deceased relatives...
I'm in.
I did a photogravure workshop with Byron last May, and it was a blast. I had originally planned to be in Mexico at this time to take the conference in order to take Sandy's carbon workshop, but...
I disagree with the idea that government funding creates bad art. Look at all the great pictures that were made in the 1970's because of the now defunct NEA individual artist fellowships, just to...
Be very careful about the "multiple future uses" part. Each use, actual or potential should be carefully delineated and envisaged. If you can't see it, don't do it. The movie and TV business thrives...
To me photography is all about making a fiction believable, plausible.
Bill Jay did a book where he claimed to have found a series of nudes at a London flea market, which instead....

or in my contact printer perhaps? :eek:
I am a big advocate of the portfolio reviews. I only went to two of them a number of years ago, but I got numerous shows, a gallery representation, and other connections from them as a result; it's a...
In honor of Frank Petronio, I hereby nominate all the New Topographics artists, of which he is such a fan!
A step in the right direction. I still bristle when a public (or is it semi-public?) agency talks about its own property more than a little, but it's nice to feel decriminalized anyway! Now perhaps...
Hi folks,
I have a few questions about matting 30x40" prints, a size I've never printed and matted before.
What size is a "standard" mat for that print size? If I mat 16x20" prints onto 20x24"...
The problem for me isn't the deadpan quality of a lot of the work Shore and others did, but that they were followed by a whole generation of deadpan imitators who flattened out the style to zero,...
The introduction to the new editions describes how he went from 4x5 to 8x10 early on in the project, because color neg film in the early 70's wasn't considered to enlarge well. So you also have that...
The issue isn't the profit principle per se, but whether or not the service or opportunity offered is a good and fair value. That of course depends on the situation, and each photographer has to...
I agree and not.
The portfolio reviews don't make money for the organizers. The reviewers' travel and lodging expenses are many, as you can imagine; remember also that they volunteer their time to...
As an additional note (and not to highjack the thread), once the crew saw that the ice was going to "keep" the ship, Hurley dove into the ship to retrieve the negatives, and did an assortment then...
Frank Hurley's pictures from the Shackleton expedition aboard the Endeavour in the Antarctic are also incredible, and were preserved despite the expedition's stranding for over a year after the ship...
I am at:
www.claudiocambon.com
I update it infrequently, perhaps once a year.
If we see an uptick in spam, we'll know who to blame! :D
Thanks!
My gut sense is that no one of them is a magic bullet, but perhaps all of them put together along with a website, a Facebook page, an email list of your "audience" perhaps create enough noise to...
That was true up until about a year ago, but now things are spilling over to the general public, not at a rate perceptible to Americans, but definitely to Mexicans, who are pretty wigged out that the...
As a follow-up to my first post, the important thing is to gauge the two levels of issues you face when living in Mexico: the first is the relative services and conveniences you need for everyday...
