Unsensored 12 - 15th to 26th September - Collingwood Gallery

If anyone's down Collingwood way over the next fortnight, there's an exhibition of analogue photography put on by the Melbourne Silver Mine, including one large format fibre print by yours truly!!

Details are here: http://silvermine.org.au/unsensored/...ite/index.php#

There looks to be some really interesting work - and there was talk of having some sort of Large Format workshop in the gallery one weekend - I hope that happens...

Marc!

Did they mean to spell "unsensored" that way? Just curious

Yes indeed - Uncensored, and without a sensor (ie. analogue)!!

Marc!

Call me slow but I never picked up on that. Clever

59,857 Analogue Photography Users Group members can't be wrong :-)

When I'm chatting to people, I tend to call it as you suggest 'film photography' - 'traditional' makes it sound old fashioned, which it turn makes me feel old... and that just won't do.

Talk about the elevation of materials over content, this one wins the prize.

How 'bout referring to it as FILM photography and Traditional Photography rather than Analogue? Yes, I'm older now but Film says more to me than the other term to distinguish this from pixelography.

Right. And I would go farther drawing a very strong distinction between digitally generated inkjet graphics and the body of work that has built up under the name of photography.

Brian: The language war is important. Look and listen all around you. Language establishes concepts and minds, and it helps to make and erase intellectual, political, and cultural history.

As part of the Melbourne Silver Mine's exhibition of analogue photography UNSENSORED12 we are having our first day celebrating Large Format photography this Sunday, September 23, 5pm to 6pm

Bring your Large format rig to the gallery for a bit of a get together and portrait shooting opportunity, or come along to marvel at these amazing cameras and those that lug them around.

Gallery is opens from 10am - 6pm, come any time, everyone is welcome.

Size does matter.

Correction: it's all afternoon from midday 'till 6pm - I'll try to be there after lunch...

I differentiate between Photographs and Pixelographs just as I do with Photography and Pixelography.

I differentiate between photographers and equipment users.

I differentiate between photographers and equipment users.

I have always found the two to be related, perhaps with different results. Brian, I may be missing your point; it would not be the first time!

My point was that some people are more concerned with the equipment/materials they use to make a photograph than they are with the photograph.

That is true. Thanks.

[munz6869]

And some people thoroughly enjoy both in varying measures!!

Marc!

[Brian Ellis]

Some of us use our equipment to create photographs.

All of us who make photographs use equipment. Some think that photographs can be made with only one kind of equipment and material.

[munz6869]

I doubt there's many members of the Melbourne Silver Mine who don't use digital cameras at some point or another (I surely do for nearly all commercial work these days) - however, there's nothing at all wrong with celebrating a medium, and sharing ideas and (in this case) pictures in a specific forum/group/public gallery!
