Day 1086 [21 Dec 2009|02:16pm] jnphotos So...apparently I picked the wrong person to challenge by telling them that they wouldn't come to see me. My friend John drove from Iowa to Tucson just because I doubted the fact that he would. But I had an amazingly fun time with him here. Corie, Tim, John and I went out to dinner and to the bars last night. 1 comment|post comment

Black Sun and Artifact [18 Dec 2009|05:06am] iaaphoto “9/17/2006, 8:45 am – 9:45am, N 78°13.370’ E 015°40.024’” from the series “1h Northern Hemisphere (2005-2008)” by Hans-Christian Schink. Upon first sighting, I thought Schink’s images were of floating artifacts created through actual damage to the film. I think that drew me to the pictures much more than if someone said “Hey, look what he made by overexposing the sun.” I figured it out pretty quick the first time I saw one (and remembered other famous black sun photo), but I still can’t get over how close the artifacts look. Regardless, beautiful images. Post fed from IAABlog (Feed Comments) 1 comment|post comment

Deane’s Glitzy Thought [16 Dec 2009|01:43am] iaaphoto A Post on Mrs. Deane: © beierle + keijser While fiddling around with these wilting flowers a little mindlessly after a long day, it occurred to me that I hadn’t ever come across photo-based art — excuse my language — that uses masked areas (in this case a black alert) as an integral part of the image. Partial overprints have been done before, but not based on computer-generated messages about color information or whatever it is you are masking. One could even imagine that something dreadful glittery is glued or sprayed on the spots now marked a bleak yellow. Of course this particular image is really not an elegant example of what you could achieve with such a technique, but there must exist compositions to which this effect can be added in a meaningful way. If anyone has seen this effect successfully applied elsewhere, do let me know! — And now I know what I can make: an I heart Photograph Xmas-card, yeah… I love this kind of shit. I was working with one of my students the other day and she had somehow gotten the black value warning stuck on without knowing what it was. She was going through her images and letting out disappointing sighs as she noted they were all bad – they all had this horrible grainyness for some reason. I couldn’t figure out what she was talking about until I turned off the shadow value warning toggle and she got super excited, asking how I fixed her images. Blew both her minds – I totally didn’t understand how she was seeing, that she could think it was a natural part of her image, somehow she’d gotten that in camera, etc. Post fed from IAABlog (Feed Comments) post comment
