Preserve the World ONG | Lucas Pigliacampo

In Honor of Earth Day 2015 I wanted to share some images that really spoke to me.  Out of Madrid Spain graphic designer and photographer Lucas Pigliacamo created a few images called “Preserve the World.” When I came across these a couple months back I knew I wanted to post on an important day that emphasizes the impotence of mother nature and how important it is that we conserve what’s left of the world that’s already been destroyed by greed, trash, laziness and ignorance.

Behind the scenes with Chris Keeley

DSC_0490

There’s a lot of jobs that come through the door, all of them special in their own way of course. Sometimes I have to get jobs out so quickly I don’t have time to take pictures or document how they are made. But this time I decide to make the time to snap a few photos to show what goes on behind the scenes before art work goes on the walls.

This job was brought to me by a client who keeps me on my toes. He always seems to have a new photography project rolling in, on top of his full time job at UNH.  He’s attention to details and professionally makes it a pleasure to work with him.

Take a look for yourself. Visit Chris Keeley’s website and Facebook page. Chris is available for hire from cooperate shots to weddings. Browse his landscape collections, find something that will look nice framed in your home.

Well, Here are the snap shots for Chris’s Project that included 5 canvas wraps and a fine art print framed. They are displayed in Richardson’s Ice Cream in Middleton, Massachusetts.

THE WOMEN’S MOTORCYCLE EXHIBIT // BEHIND THE SCENES // LANAKILA MACNAUGHTON from Austin Will on Vimeo.

Lanakila MacNaughton is a Portland based photographer and motorcyclist. Involved in many outdoor sports from a young age, Lana began documenting her experiences through photography. After developing a passion for motorcycles in her early twenties, she started documenting many facets of motorcycle culture through her lens. Lana shoots in medium format on a Hasselblad CM.

Lanakila MacNaughton speaks to her influences and mission for her latest project, “The Woman’s Motorcycle Exhibition: The Real Woman Who Ride.” Spend a day with a few of these woman as they cruise the wooded backroads of Portland, Oregon.

The Women’s Motorcycle Exhibition documents the new wave of modern female motorcyclists. The goal is to reveal the brave, courageous and beautiful women that live to ride. TheWomen’s Motorcycle Exhibition is a traveling show. The mission is to discover and present female riders from all different communities, riding backgrounds, and styles, and maybe even influence some connectivity amongst riders from these different areas. Different communities and venues are invited to host the photo exhibit to aid in this discovery.
Lanakila is always looking for women to shoot. Above all, she hopes to illustrate, and really present, the freedom, independence, excitement and personalities’ of “the born to be free” woman motorcyclists.

Pillow people explain “Origins of the camera” video from TED-Ed

Screen shot 2013-03-06 at 12.58.09 PM

“The origins of the cameras we use today were invented in the 19th century. Or were they? A millennia before, Arab scientist Alhazen was using the camera obscura to duplicate images, with Leonardo da Vinci following suit 500 years later and major innovations beginning in the 19th century. Eva Timothy tracks the trajectory from the most rudimentary cameras to the ubiquity of them today.”-TED Educator

Gregory Crewdson – Brief Encounters Playing in Portsmouth

A film by Ben Shapiro

Thursay, Febuary 28th 7pm

Portsmouth Public Library

In Partnership with 3S Artspace

Photographer David Murry will lead a post film discussion

Levenson Room 175 Parrott Ave Portsmouth NH

Fantastic I just found this in the mailbox. Is it an invite for myself and Michael Winters? I might have missed it otherwise.

How exciting for Photographers and Movie makers. A Film based on Gregory Crewdson. A Film by Ben Shapiro. I posted  the movie trailer, along with an interview from NPR from 2006. It might help to get some discussion going.

Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters Trailer from Benjamin Shapiro on Vimeo.

GREGORY CREWDSON: BRIEF ENCOUNTERS follows acclaimed photographer Gregory Crewdson’s decade-long quest to create a series of haunting, surreal, and stunningly elaborate portraits of small-town American life — perfect renderings of a disturbing and imperfect world.
*OPENS OCT 31 AT FILM FORUM IN NEW YORK*

“Gregory Crewdson doesn’t so much take pictures as make them. Some critics say the photographer and artist is reinventing the genre by using film techniques to stage pictures.”

Angel Olsen – Sweet Dreams (Official Video)

A Facebook friend  brought this lady Angel Olsen to my attention. I’m posting this for her use of 16mm film to create her videos. She has double and triple exposed her film. That’s no easy task. I hope you enjoy. Did I mention she has an old soul voice that I can’t place, she’s unique and beautiful. I wish her the bests.

“A transatlantic collaboration between four friends.

Two songs were written and recorded in Chicago and then sent to Vienna.

There they were translated into a film score.”

A transatlantic epistolary exchange.

A song transformed into a film score and mailed across the Atlantic Ocean.
The score interpreted using an intuitive approach and a single roll of 16mm color negative film. The film exposed, rewound and re-exposed many times, developed and sent back across the Atlantic. These images were collected with the foreknowledge that the film would be extensively manipulated in the darkroom. An archaic homemade contact printer was used to create the final look and that film was hand-processed, and rinsed and repeated all in the same room in which the score began.

Time passing. The feeling of time. Collapsing space. Collapsing time. Collapsing time and space.

*16mm print available and recommended for screening purposes. This is the digital version.

A song transformed into a film score and mailed across the Atlantic Ocean.
The score interpreted using a single roll of tri-x 16mm film. The film exposed, rewound and re-exposed many times, developed and sent back across the Atlantic. A response was filmed and the two spliced together.

*16mm print available and recommended for screening purposes. This is the digital version.

Inventor of the Digital Camera

Inventor Portrait: Steven Sasson from David Friedman on Vimeo.

This video is part of an ongoing series of photo and video portraits of contemporary inventors from all walks of life. More can be seen here.

It’s been way too long since I’ve posted one of these. This is my portrait of Steven Sasson, inventor of the digital camera. He was the 32nd inventor in my project. I shot him in October at Kodak’s headquarters in Rochester, just a couple weeks before President Obama awarded him the National Medal of Technology.

When he initially mentioned that the first digital camera held 30 pictures, I assumed that was due to the storage capacity of the digital tape. It was really interesting to hear that he picked 30 as an artificial limitation, and his explanation why.

Update: A lot of people have asked what the subject of that first photo was. It’s an interesting story, but the short answer is that the first digital photo was a picture of a lab technician named Joy. And he didn’t save the image.
