A handmade book by Rik Garrett

2011-06-01T07:33:51Z

A handmade book of the Symbiosis series is now being made in a very limited edition. The estimated release date is June 21, 2011 - the summer solstice. Each book will be comprised of 12 - 14 reproductions of the original mixed media pieces, printed by myself as archival pigment prints on matte paper. The images will be the same size as the originals, printed on 5x7 inch pages. The cover will be of a soft pink, reflecting both the delicate and fleshy nature of the images. The result will be something dainty and unique.

So Much More than Photography
by Nitsa
PDF, 174 pages. $10

Get the book here

So Much More than Photography is a book of ideas and inspiration for creative and experimental photography.

The first part of this book about photographing without following the rules while at the same time exploring new methods and ideas to approach photography.
The second part of the book shares numerous ways to present your photographs artistically such as Image transfers, texture layers, mixed media photography and so on. You will see how easy it is to take your ordinary photos to the next level and you don't even have to attend an art school or have any special skills to utilize these creative techniques.
The third section includes an article about Print on Demand, selected entries from my photography blog, and final thoughts.

All the processes shared in the book are the product of many experiments, endless trial and errors, I made in the last couple of years. I hope you will find these techniques easy to do and most of all they will inspire you to create your own photo-art work.

"Its suppose to be quirky?"

2010-05-07T09:34:59Z

"The new masterpiece of the Impossible labs in Enschede is a highly astonishing material that will zoom all the lovers of Polaroid cameras back into the good old days when every single shot was a wonderful exciting instant adventure"
Florian Kaps (founder of The Impossible Project) about the new PX 600 Silver Shade film

Quotes from the various forums.
" images are fading away"
" Sepia fading, color tones instead"
"I can't see anything"
"inject in a small shoe box trick"
"Hey its a new company, what do you expect?"
"Shipping costs are very high to most countries."
"unpredictable and unreliable"
"it sucks"
"I think there is a lamination problem"
"compensation program is not working"
"a very half-hearted attempt at compensation for defective materials purchased"
"seeing some orange spots on my pictures!"
"I told you it was gonna get messy..."
and a lot more.

"Its suppose to be quirky"
The new films from TIP (The Impossible Project) are out now for a while, time to have a closer look at it.
Let's first establish the fact that TIP is a commercial company, in other words TIP want's to make money and there is noting wrong with that.
But if you than produce and sell a faulty product, in the broadest sense of the word,
one thing comes to my mind: back to the drawing board.
There are so many things wrong with this product that you wonder why there is still
a little group of hardcore "believers" who are still buying it.
There are heated discussions on the forums. But TIP is fighting a losing battle.
They have to come up with something better.
In the mean time Polaroid and Fuji are only winning by this renewed interest in Instant Film.
That is the only good thing that emerges out off this TIP debacle.

I was planning to do a review on the two films PX100 and PX600 but I can start with the conclusion
Good: Nice packaging and original darkslide.
Bad: everything else.

THIAPS supported TIP from day one but now we wait for the "second flush" and we just wait and see how this debacle unfolds.

UNPUBLISHED: Old Man and the Sea

2010-04-13T10:26:09Z

In 1952, LIFE sent legendary photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt to Cuba to shoot author Ernest Hemingway. The magazine needed photos to run alongside a new novella that would run in LIFE before it was published in book format. That book was "The Old Man and the Sea," and the issue of LIFE where it was first printed went on to sell 5.3 million copies in two days. For years afterward, Eisenstaedt would refer to the experience of shooting "Papa" Hemingway as his most difficult assignment ever. Recently, LIFE discovered these photos, all but two of which have never been seen: LIFE's editors opted to print illustrations based on the pictures rather than the pictures themselves. here

Cameras are wonderful little contraptions.
People who shoot film simply do because they choose to, and the Photo Culture of Tokyo is full of film camera users.
