  1. Re: The Camera and Technique of Andreas Gursky (Then And Now)

    This is probably nearly impossible to answer, but can anyone take a guess at what camera he's using here? Looks like there's a dial on the left-top side of the camera and a 3-way bubble level in the...
  2. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    True. Although the MFA route is still a mystery to me, I'm sure that some of the students who went to Yale went there to, at least partially, emulate Gregory Crewdson. Like you've said, the same is...
  3. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    I absolutely agree with this. However, when I toured and looked at the final photography MFA thesis projects coming out of UCLA, I was just stunned by how 'plain' they were, both on the surface and...
  4. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    I agree with this. Regarding an MFA program, the thought of being conscripted into doing work that I don't really want to do does worry me. I keep mentioning my Yale photography MFA friend, but she...
  5. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    While there are some dissenting voices opposed to the whole idea of an MFA, with valid reasons to truly consider, I think this thread, overall, is in favor of pursuing some sort of higher education...
  6. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Thank you for your kind words and great suggestions! I really appreciate it! I will definitely be doing a mach harder edit. I hate the homepage. I originally just wanted one strong image.

    And YES!...
  7. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    They're vaguely related. I don't work in a series. Perhaps diptychs and triptychs, but otherwise, working in a series is simply not how I work. I have no idea how to make that come across. I think...
  8. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    You are absolutely correct. It's so funny that you said that the "cis white guys aren't getting into Yale, no matter how good the work is." My Yale MFA photography friend said almost exactly the same...
  9. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Absolutely! California is just such a massive state that you can make project after project here. Think John Chiarra and Gregory Hapern. The only problem that I have in LA is that it's constantly...
  10. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Thanks Pieter! I've been told that there are weak works on the front page, but no one ever told me which ones are the weak ones. Glad you mentioned it. I'll be making the changes tonight.

    And good...
  11. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    On the heels of all the good and accurate things that Pieter wrote, I do intend on attending a fully funded MFA program, meaning that I won't attend any MFA program if I know I have to take out...
  12. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    My friend who attended Yale's photography MFA program is indeed talented! (Again shout out to Ilona at ilonaszwarc.com for those who want to see the work of someone who graduated from the 'best'...
  13. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Jim,

    Like Pieter said, I don't necessarily want to teach (but would certainly be open to it). The goal is to get my work into galleries. I suppose I can maybe get a foot in the door on the...
  14. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Thank you for this! I was indeed referencing Solidarność in my bio. My parents escaped just before martial law was imposed without telling anyone in their own family. It's a truly crazy story.

  15. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Daniel,

    What you wrote is all gold. And you're right about the debt trap. That is VERY real, and I know some people who are in the hole for $250K who graduated with me from NYU's film school -...
  16. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Absolutely! Everyone here has been incredibly thoughtful, kind, and very supportive. (I definitely can't say the same with Reddit.) I think I've received a LOT of terrific advice here from basically...
  17. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    One of my good friends is a Polish-American girl who graduated from Yale's Photography MFA program in 2015. (Here's her website to anyone who is interested to see what kind of work comes from a...
  18. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Greg,

    That's awesome to hear that you got your MFA at 57. I say that because, at 36, I felt that I might possibly be 'too old' to get an MFA or would, in some way, be discriminated against...
  19. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Thank you, Drew. I appreciate your thoughtful words. I still feel like I'll always be stubborn enough to create the work that I want to make, but not stubborn enough that I'm too inflexible to make...
  20. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Gregg,

    Thank you for all of your truly terrific advice, and your kind words. The consensus here (and on reddit, where I also posted) is pretty much verbatim the same - lose the resources,...
  21. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Pieter,

    All great advice! Thank you for taking the time to write it all out! I agree, there are some images that are totally unrelated, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I...
  22. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Andrew,

    Many thanks for your kind words and that's a great suggestions. Are there any books that you would recommend to help me brush up on my art speak BS? (My undergrad NYU Film & Television...
  23. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the advice and kind words! I also think I need to be a little more brutal about whittling down the amount of images and definitely not repeat any images. (There are actually...
  24. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Alan,

    You bring up very good points, all completely valid. No need for any apologies. There's a bit of truth to all of it, but ultimately I feel like an MFA program (from a 'reputable' school)...
  25. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Peter,

    Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. One of my advisors told me almost verbatim the same that art should be your vision, not necessarily what you think eveyone else...
  26. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Many thanks for your encouragement! I haven't thought of photographing people the way you have described it, so I'm really glad that you mentioned basically how to do it word for word. I'll...
  27. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Either/or. I'm not particularly fond of my website and have already made some changes to it, getting rid of the superfluous parts like the equipment, resources, and FAQ pages. It's now a bit more...
  28. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Thanks for your kind words! I absolutely love the works of Todd Hido, Nadav Kander, and Alec Soth. (I was lucky enough to meet both Todd Hido and Alec Soth and talk with both for a bit.) I think...
  29. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Yuriy,

    First let me just say that I really like the work on your website. Very impressive work. Anyway, a few people have told me that a MFA in photography is just not worth it, unless it's...
  30. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Steve,

    Many thanks for your kind words and thoughtful comments. I completely agree with you regarding the sequencing and concept and am glad you brought it up. But that's just it - I don't...
  31. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Thank you, kindly! I really, really appreciate your kind words! It's always nice to hear someone appreciative of your work. :)
  32. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hi Brian,

    Many thanks for your great input! I appreciate the comment about the stylistic approach, which I really do hope does differentiate my work from other artists' work. :) I fully agree...
  33. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Thank you kindly for your advice! Indeed, I'm planning on applying to the photography/art MFA programs at UCLA, Yale, Stanford, RISD, University of Chicago, and CalArts. While I'm aware of it, I...
  34. Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Hello friends,

    I'm considering applying to an MFA photography program this upcoming fall, but am not sure if my works are good or strong enough, so I would like to defer to you experienced experts...

  38. Re: Bought a nice Linhof Master Technika Classic. Can I do the CLA myself to save mon

    For the difficult repairs, I will save it for someone like Austin at LAFLEX, who specializes in these cameras. In the meantime, however, I think I can repair the very simple stuff like cleaning and...
  39. Re: Bought a nice Linhof Master Technika Classic. Can I do the CLA myself to save mon

    Perhaps this would help if anyone is curious. Here's a link to the original eBay listing that the seller took down (and subsequently had me pay him privately via PayPal):...
  40. Bought a nice Linhof Master Technika Classic. Can I do the CLA myself to save money?

    Hello friends!

    I recently bought a really nice and apparently very rare all-black Linhof Master Technika Classic. The outside of the camera looks flawless. The previous owner said he only used the...
