BAPC: Bay Area Street Photography Now

Erin Malone — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 16:55:13 +0000

Most artists are doing basically the same thing – staying off the streets.
— Edward Ruscha

This show, inspired in part by the book and online project Street Photography Now, is an exploration of this topic by six members of our collective. The photographers use a broad spectrum of photographic technology—from silver gelatin to digital cameraphones—to candidly portray life in public places. Their vision elevates the ordinary into realms of beauty and myth.

Artists’ Reception Friday, April 1 6 – 9pm
Exhibiting Artists: Anthony Delgado, Ralf Hillebrand, Thomas Lavin, Charlotte Niel, Kirk Thompson, Gary Weiner

Keeping Images

Henry Bowles — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 07:22:26 +0000

Last week the Times had an interesting article about 65 glass plate negatives purchased for $45 at a garage sale in Fresno. Suspecting that they might be far more valuable than $45, the purchaser then assembled a team of experts to prove that the negatives were recovered from the 1937 fire in Ansel Adams’ darkroom. Value, $200 million. Well it turns out the experts in this case may not have been that expert, the $200 million is a givaway of course. It is still being disputed so we will have to wait on that, but it may remind any of us from the film era of our own stories of lost negatives. We all have them, don’t we, lost negative stories. I have.

In the digital era the problem is slightly different but images can get lost and when that happens its feels like more of a loss than it is because the potential image is an incalculable thing. I don’t need to tell you to make backups and put the hard disk in a separate safe place but there are other ways to lose things in the digital world by simply misfiling them. I try to file everything when I download it but still manage to lose a few files along the way, although, so far I have not lost anything in the digital realm as thouroughly as I lost those lost negatives that I still think about to this day.

Spend an intensive three days/four nights focused on learning how to take control of your camera and make the photographs you set out to make.
