Boy does this cry-out for a political reply. What nonsense. Can you get your money back?

Boy does this cry-out for a political reply. What nonsense. Can you get your money back?
The new criteria adds an important element to the selection (namely focus upon something essential in the viewers conception of art). But ultimately they underscore just how difficult it is to...
Man Ray
Edward Weston
Ansel Adams
Paul Strand
And a soft spot for Margrethe Mather
Haven't seen the show, but I never grow weary of Ansel Adams --spent hours with a roomful of his prints just last week. Every time I see a collection of Adams' prints I marvel at his talents as...
The questions raised here are deeply political and only deeply political responses will cast real light on the matter. In the meantime, its very good to hear that counter measures are afoot. ...
My response to the query, “What is a good photograph?” stresses two basic elements in the making of a good photograph: (1) the photographer’s understanding of and respect for the unique power of the...
A good photograph demonstrates that the photographer understands that the camera is a powerful, unique device for reconstructing nature and re-presenting it according to certain aesthetic,...
I purchased a 20 x 24 from Richard Ritter. I found him to be a very straight shooter, an excellent craftsman, and very cooperative in negotiating the hurdles of overseas shipping; in short, a real...
The recent Koons case is a fairly obvious and direct representation of the original photograph in another medium. It would be hard to object to the finding of a copyright violation in this case...
Sounds like you have either Bromportrait or Unibrom, embossed. I use what Slavich calls the "smooth glossy" versions extensively. In my view they are both excellent papers, and both develop nicely...
Do you purchase these rolls directly from Ilford? What is the cost? Thanks!
Ah. Thanks for the pointer. I never would have thought of that strategy.
The price is ridiculous.
Awesome! Absolutely awesome! Lord. I was out there for the first time ever a few months back and drove my VW Bus all around the beach --and man I was in heaven --certainly as close as I'll ever...
Don't do it. The "E" philosophy is the first runner-up root of all post modern evil.
Okay. Good. Miller is one of the guys that I had in mind re: Durst 138 point source experiments. Please let me know how your halogen works out.
Not sure, and I naturally have no personal information, but I believe that Brett Weston used a 138 with a point source of some sort for some of his work. Others on the forum, I believe, have...
"stupid VAT"
If I were European I would revolt. This sort of government (and frequently private) theft is outrageous and totally inconsistent in my experience. I never hesitate to produce a...
But the point is, "why isn't Harman set-up to perform otherwise?" It's no answer that the established process is to sell wholesale to dealers. After all, it used to be the established process to...
I am quite curious about all of the details of how Butcher makes and handles such large prints. But it seems to me that a such a video could made for about $50.00.
Just ONE question: Color or B&W or both?
Color photographs always seem to fail.
I have always loved Adam's car and platform. But I have resisted the strong temptation to follow his lead. I am absolutely certain that in an excited moment with my head under the dark cloth that I...
Generally, I keep supplies of film, paper, and developing chemicals in Europe and the USA in order to avoid the need to ask regularly for hand checks. LAX and Pudong, China airports are about the...
Many of the auction sales, of course, smell just as bad. Well, it would be a marvelously good sign if there is at least something legitimate or hopeful about the alleged sale and the print is...
Maybe.
See you there.
See you there!
Why should we presume a thing to be above its true name?
Thank you Mark.
It looks like Bunnell is indeed a special source of information and insights concerning White and photography.
This looks very promising. Apparently, the museum has an extensive archive of negatives and prints, including note cards with printing details. I will be on the East Coast next month, so I think...
Good. Thank you guys. I am digging. Seems White wrote quite a bit -not sure yet how much on methods or materials.
Wayne:
Thank you. I will follow-up on Ron Wohlauer. It looks like his estate may have something. It's also good to learn about Wohlauer. I will let you know, if you don't mind, if it turns...
Thanks again. I will follow-up yours suggestions.
And yes, right, I am beginning to see in my own work that once I fix a strong impression in my mind of the sort of impact that I want a print...
Thank you. Right. Stieglitz, too.
White's photographs certainly look pyroesque, but I am still digging for details about his precise methods and materials. There seem to be many photographers...
Adam’s and Weston’s enormous influences upon White are plain from White’s photographs. But aside from confirmation of White’s commitment to the Zone System and various philosophies, I am having...
I shot one of my most interesting negatives (in terms of acutance, sharpness, and tonal subtlety) on Delta 100 (8x10) with a 19" Apo Ronar lens, and developed it in ABC Pyro.
I have never departed from Beijing before, but I have flown out of Pudong many times. I have never had a problem with a hand check at Pudong. In fact, they have always been very fast to agree --no...
I have never had a problem getting a hand check at LAX. I could not get a hand check in Paris or London, and it seems that European airports refuse them. Your return will almost certainly be an...
I hope that it finds legs. It sends a good message.
Bravo! Check out their Web site: http://goa-cap.com. These guys are inspired. I am enlisting!
