I am pleased to note that the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center, Pueblo, Colorado, will be showing about 40 photographs from my project Mexico Profundo ("Deep Mexico") during April, May,...

Point taken.

Thanks,
Wayne

Sandy, very nice work---thank you.

I'm a little more inclined to use a non-staining two-bath developer, and, based on your earlier research on D-23 and Diafine, am I missing out in some important...

Tom, you do beautiful work.

Speaking of White's methods and materials--- Ron Wohlauer, a very fine Denver photographer who passed away about 10 years ago, had in his library a notebook or handbook on a workshop White taught in...

Jim,

The Type 52 image was lovely, perhaps all the more so because it was a unique image. I have a separate section of Type 52 photographs on my website. Several were made at Ansel's 1969...

Again, thanks to you all. My copy arrived the other day, and I was very pleased with the reproductions (which were from digital files I finally learned how to make). Brooks, Maureen, and staff, do...

Congratulations, Drew!
Check the link...I couldn't get it to work. Would like to see the info.


Best,
Wayne

I would like to see some photographs illustrating No. 8 of the manifesto.

Wayne

Thank you all very much. I have yet to see the magazine, but I imagine it will arrive in a day or two.

Wayne

A wonderful photographer and a true loss.

Wayne

When I was about 12 I killed my pet crow feeding him chunks of meat. Be careful, they will try pieces bigger than they can handle.

Wayne

Sheldon N., a memorable photograph...excellent!

Wayne

Mark, I didn't realize that you and I agree on everything, too.

But re the CCP: It is an unconscionable situation, especially in the case of a publically-supported institution. Not the kind of...

Terry Etherton of the Etherton Gallery, Tucson, has photogravures from The Mexican Portfolio and would probably be a good source of information.

Steven,

Once in a previous life I was an optical mineralogist and saw several examples of devitrified natural glass such as obsidian. All glasses eventually devitrify but some glasses are as old...

Ramiro,

Very, very nice!

Wayne

Eric, and I, and others, are obviously arguing from the standpoint of the first-invented photographs. Recent years excepted, the vast majority of photographs that have been produced since the...

Contrary to appearances, Erik and I did not confer before writing our most recent submissions. Nor am I here going to include great minds. And alike in the same sentence.

Lenny, I would not say he is not a photographer. If at the beginning of the process the image was captured using light-sensitive materials (chemical or electronic) he is a photographer and his work...

Corran, I said "traditional understanding" because most photographers for over a century have presented their images in the form of a light-sensitive coating on a sheet of paper (mainly albumen and...

BetterSense, "inkjet" is close, but we need some root that implies the image was captured by a light-sensing process, chemical or electronic. Paintings can be reproduced by the inkjet process and...

To me a photograph is a sheet of paper upon which there is an image produced by the interaction of light with a layer of light-sensitive chemicals. What many of us are calling a photograph today is...

Thanks Brian,

I suppose we are so dependent on our easily-messed-up (and expensive) equipment that we tend to get a little paranoid at times. Nice to have a forum like this where we can get good...

Thanks for the comments. Perhaps the admonishment I heard had to do with analog exposure meters and the moving parts they contained. I agree, I can't see what the problem could be with a digital...

Seems as if I once read that an exposure meter (and, by extension, hand-held GPS units, etc.) should not be kept in a metal storage cabinet, because somehow the circuitry would be altered or harmed...

Michael,

My first camera when I worked at a local newspaper when I was in high school was a 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 RB Graflex. It was a nice size to learn on and there were lots of film choices then! I...

MEPienta,

Very nice portraits...and model! Is the focal length on the Dalmac 190mm?

Wayne

Although for many years I drove to Mexico almost annually I haven't been in several years but do attempt to keep up with friends there. Michoacan state, the state which Mexicans themselves have...

I have a circa 1960's(?) Majestic tripod (bought for $60 used in 1978) with geared center post and geared head (6" x 7" base plate) that holds my 8 x 10 Deardorff absolutely solid...geared center...

Has anyone here dealt with Light Impressions recently? They seem to be back in Rochester again. Are they still up to their old "everything is on backorder but we will charge your credit card now"...

Well, that's true. So, sort of sad. (But, still, 8 x 10 was such a professional format and Tri-X was such a professional film...)

Wayne

Never thought I'd see the day when 8 x 10 Tri-X was not in their "Pro Film List." Sad.

Wayne

Dick was one of our instructors at the 1969 Yosemite Workshop. I admired him as a man and a photographer.
Wayne

It's why I moved from Santa Fe back to Colorado last winter. And I've recommended to the state that we put a fortified entry station on Raton Pass.
Wayne

Congratulations, Kirk! It does sound like an interesting show.
Wayne

Forgot to mention that the name of Christopher's outfit is (was) The Fisher Press.

Wayne

Kirk, Christopher Benson owns a small fine art publishing company in Santa Fe; although I've heard recently that he is shutting down. He is the nephew of
Richard "Chip" Benson who printed for Paul...

Scott,

Sent you a pm today.

Wayne

How come we never see or hear much of Thomas Merton's photography? I saw a book of his photographs in the early 1970's and liked his quiet approach.
