24.01.2022 To find beauty where others see only emptiness, or junk: that might be one of the artist’s greatest gifts. To bring clear eyes to what the rest of us overlook, and never forget that the same light that shines on the postcard sites of our vacations shines alike on the gas stations and malls where we go to make those vacations possible (and fashion our everyday lives). https://aperture.org/blog/robert-adams-domestic-interiors/

24.01.2022 You want to record finer detail in your photographs, ditch your digital camera and roll out your daguerreotypes. "When conservators at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, began restoration work on the deteriorating plates. Magnifying glasses didn’t exhaust their detail; neither did an ultrasharp macro lens. Finally, the conservators deployed a stereo microscope. What they saw astonished them: The details down to window curtains and wheel spokes remained crisp even at 30X magnification. The panorama could be blown up to 170 by 20 feet without losing clarity; a digital camera would have to record 140,000 megapixels per shot to match that." https://photomuserh.wordpress.com//exploring-1848-daguerr/

22.01.2022 "In all of its definitions, the portrait is as much an image of a social and historical way of understanding its subject as it is of the subject itself." https://lucian.uchicago.edu//mediatheory/keywords/portrait/

20.01.2022 Here's a pic from my little project that I'm doing during a short break in Venice. Current working title is 'The Distractions of Venice' which is my examination of the city and its relationship to the millions of tourists who flock here every year.

16.01.2022 In the days of Polaroid I used to enjoy playing with emulsion lifts and transfers. So, this is the first in a series of experimental pieces where I am using an acrylic gel to transfer photographic prints from their paper base to different surfaces (here it is an aluminium sheet... although one cannot really tell by looking at this photograph) and then further manipulate the image. In this case the photograph is of skulls of the victims of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, which I ...took during a recent visit. After transfering the photo to the aluminium plate and carefully removing the photograph's paper substrate, I am starting to investigate how the new surface responds to marks/drawing using pencil and chalk pastel. This is my very first attempt and its early days but I think that eventually I may be able to do something interesting with it. The next phase will be to see how well it responds to using colour, maybe Copic marking pens or a water colour wash. Will keep you posted... See more

09.01.2022 Here is something for the Luddites among us. The equivalent of a 140,000 megapixel photo... and it was made in 1848, less than a decade after the birth of photography. The link is to a daguerreotype panorama of the Cincinnati waterfront taken in 1848. It consists of 4 of the 8 plates (around 5 x 7 inches each). The clarity of each of its eight daguerreotype panels is equivalent to a 140,000-megapixel digital image. You can use the tools on the linked page to zoom in to see ...the detail. http://www.rochester.edu/news/photos/daguerreotype.html

09.01.2022 "Mass production of uninspired photojournalism and photography without thought becomes anonymous merchandise. The air becomes infected with the smell of photography. If the photographer wants to be an artist, his thoughts cannot be developed overnight at the corner drugstore." - Robert Frank in a statement written in 1958 about his project "The Americans" http://www.americansuburbx.com//robert-frank-a-statement-1

07.01.2022 Just did an alternative photo print making workshop here in Venice. This is one of my first print attempts from a photo I snapped on my iPhone a few days ago

07.01.2022 Some photographers such as David Levinthal create images using small scale models, here we have two Swiss photographers, Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger creating miniature models to recreate famous photographs. Interesting work, check it out. https://www.atlasobscura.com//miniature-models-of-famous-p

05.01.2022 A bit of 'brighter' news to come out of the newsroom

04.01.2022 Photography as we knew it is becoming "a nostalgic experience that’s been replaced by Photoshop and the laptop and the mobile phone, the sensations and uncertainties of yesterday replaced with the immediacy of today... what happens when the camera becomes an app?" https://taylordavidson.com/2014/camera

04.01.2022 Saw the reflection of the escalator on the window and was thinking about my father’s onsetting dementia and the loss of who he once was...whilst doing some errands at the shops after visiting him in hospital yesterday. Lined up my phone and waited for somebody to be departing their cluttered mind, leaving behind a shell who once they were. Well...it kinda made sense for me about how I’m feeling about things right now
