Re: idea for a pdml photography project
Way to go Stan and Christine! I think the idea is facinating and just need to pick a topic. Stan, you're grain silos is a good one. Bill Robb should be in on that. I might even have some from Illinois and Iowa. I have thought about trains, am facinated by grocery stores (yah, grocery stores - I always look when outside the US), and the old industrial side of cities (thanks Ralph). But what the heck, even flower gardens decorating homes would be great. Regards, Bob S. On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 9:28 PM, Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info wrote: I have quoted Christine's original post in full below for those who missed it the first time. I think Christine has an inspired idea that could allow PDMLers to take their work in a new direction. We have had the themed PUG for many many years, and as Doug notes in his Introduction to this year's PDML Annual, the PUG has been an important element of our identity as a group, taking us beyond random chatter to a more fundamental sharing process. (Doug, my apologies for mangling your thoughts and words with this rough paraphrase.) We have had instances where multiple PDMLers have shared images of a common event (e.g., PDML gatherings, GFM) But always we have seen a collection of single images. We have seen portfolios and photo essays from individuals (Bob W. and Christine's work comes to mind.) But I cannot recall a previous suggestion for a collaborative process like the one C has suggested. C was inspired by a particular body of work which focused on relatively mundane day-to-day activities: tending gardens, eating dinner, going to church, buying gasoline/petrol, getting married . . . But there is no reason this collaboration notion could not encompass any photographic subject. Macros of flowers? Wide angle landscapes? Backyard wildlife? Product photography of grocery-store food items in different countries? The particular topic is irrelevant as long as it inspires two or more list members to decide to work together to try and reflect their shared vision of something. Dan, for example, has an ongoing project on roadside diners. There must be someone on the List who has seen those and thought about the parallels and differences in common eating places in their own countries? From the above you probably have gathered that I strongly endorse C's suggestion. In more specific support I offer the following: a.

Jack Hurley's book, Portrait of a Decade: Roy Stryker and the Development of Documentary Photography in the Thirties. Many of you have probably read this, but if not, you should be able to find it in your local library or secure a used copy via bookfinder or amazon. At 175 pages, the book provides a nice broad look at Roy Stryker's life, his years studying and teaching economics, his working relationship with Rexford Tugwell, and, of course, his leadership at the Farm Security Administration (FSA). All fascinating stuff! You won't be disappointed--I promise! The book has inspired an idea that might be of interest to PDML list members. In 1936, Stryker began to broaden the FSA projects to include photographic documentation or rural, small-town, and urban life (as opposed to poverty in agricultural communities). According to Hurley, Stryker used questions to give focused direction and purpose to the photographers' field work--to illustrate: What do people do at home in the evenings? Do the activities in a small town differ from those in a large city? How do people dress for church? Where do people meet? Do beer halls and pool halls take the place of country clubs for the poor? [and even broader questions] What are the key economic factors in the existence of a small town? The railroad? The highway? How can these be represented visually? Has anyone ever taken a really good series of pictures of a filling station, showing its relationship to the restless, shifting American population? What do railroad stations look like? How do they relate to small-town life? (98) When I

Re: idea for a pdml photography project
Before I joined PDML, I used to participate in a Usenet discussion group alt.binaries.photo.original. One of the things that group did was engage in Challenges. Anyone could post a challenge, and anyone else could post an image in response to the challenge. Some of the challenges I remember were yellow and song title. It might be possible to make this work similar to the a.b.p.o challenge. Anyone who has an idea they'd like to collaborate on can post their challenge to the list and anyone on the list can opt in to the challenges they find interesting. Because a.b.p.o was a binaries group on usenet, it was possible to post the challenge images directly to the group. That would not work for PDML, but I think we could find a work-around. I know Flickr has a way to organize groups so that members of the group can post to common page (?), although I don't know how it works ... haven't needed to know before now. I'll have to take a look at how Flickr groups work and get back to y'all on that. But it might be possible to create a PDML Collaborative Group on Flickr or one of the other free image hosting sites to organize the postings by theme. From: Stan Halpin I have quoted Christine's original post in full below for those who missed it the first time. I think Christine has an inspired idea that could allow PDMLers to take their work in a new direction. We have had the themed PUG for many many years, and as Doug notes in his Introduction to this year's PDML Annual, the PUG has been an important element of our identity as a group, taking us beyond random chatter to a more fundamental sharing process. (Doug, my apologies for mangling your thoughts and words with this rough paraphrase.) We have had instances where multiple PDMLers have shared images of a common event (e.g., PDML gatherings, GFM) But always we have seen a collection of single images. We have seen portfolios and photo essays from individuals (Bob W. and Christine's work comes to mind.) But I cannot recall a previous suggestion for a collaborative process like the one C has suggested. C was inspired by a particular body of work which focused on relatively mundane day-to-day activities: tending gardens, eating dinner, going to church, buying gasoline/petrol, getting married . . . But there is no reason this collaboration notion could not encompass any photographic subject. Macros of flowers? Wide angle landscapes? Backyard wildlife? Product photography of grocery-store food items in different countries? The particular topic is irrelevant as long as it inspires two or more list members to decide to work together to try and reflect their shared vision of something. Dan, for example, has an ongoing project on roadside diners. There must be someone on the List who has seen those and thought about the parallels and differences in common eating places in their own countries? From the above you probably have gathered that I strongly endorse C's suggestion. In more specific support I offer the following: a.

Many of you have probably read this, but if not, you should be able to find it in your local library or secure a used copy via bookfinder or amazon. At 175 pages, the book provides a nice broad look at Roy Stryker's life, his years studying and teaching economics, his working relationship with Rexford Tugwell, and, of course, his leadership at the Farm Security Administration (FSA). All fascinating stuff! You won't be disappointed--I promise! The book has inspired an idea that might be of interest to PDML list members. In 1936, Stryker began to broaden the FSA projects to include photographic documentation or rural, small-town, and urban life (as opposed to poverty in agricultural communities). According to Hurley, Stryker used questions to give focused direction and purpose to the photographers' field work--to illustrate: What do people do at home in the evenings?

RE: (yet another) Ethics of photography discussion
From: Sandy Harris I am a regular on a forum for foreigners in China. It had a long discussion of some of the odd English seen on T-shirts here. http://raoulschinasaloon.com/index.php?topic=5380.0 Many of the posts were illustrated with photos. Quite a few might have embarrassed the subjects. Many were university-age women wearing things like Slut #69, of course without a clue what the English meant. From there, another discussion has spun off in a thread titled Ethical photography. It might interest some here. http://raoulschinasaloon.com/index.php?topic=6397.0 Seems to me there are a lot of people out there with cameras who are not actually photographers. In some ways it is the concern for ethical behavior that distinguishes the photographer from the person with a camera. - No virus found in this message.

It's stored in the PEF file (and in a JPEG file, and in a DNG file, and on the *ist-D it was stored in the TIFF file as well). That's in addition to the small thumbnail JPEG image that is probably used for the usual LCD display; the extra JPEG is used when viewing zoomed-in. The camera review software doesn't want to have to deal with all the different formats, or spend the time necessary to read all the data back from the card, convert them to JPEG, downsample appropriately, and display - that would make image review unbearably slow. I do know when you shoot RAW+JPEG you get two separate files on the card. Yep.

Re: idea for a pdml photography project
On May 21, 2011, at 1:26 PM, John Sessoms wrote: Before I joined PDML, I used to participate in a Usenet discussion group alt.binaries.photo.original. One of the things that group did was engage in Challenges. Anyone could post a challenge, and anyone else could post an image in response to the challenge. Some of the challenges I remember were yellow and song title. It might be possible to make this work similar to the a.b.p.o challenge. Anyone who has an idea they'd like to collaborate on can post their challenge to the list and anyone on the list can opt in to the challenges they find interesting. Because a.b.p.o was a binaries group on usenet, it was possible to post the challenge images directly to the group. That would not work for PDML, but I think we could find a work-around. I know Flickr has a way to organize groups so that members of the group can post to common page (?), although I don't know how it works ... haven't needed to know before now. I'll have to take a look at how Flickr groups work and get back to y'all on that. But it might be possible to create a PDML Collaborative Group on Flickr or one of the other free image hosting sites to organize the postings by theme. Interesting notion John, like a cross between the PUG themes and Larry's scavenger hunts. However, I think it misses the element of collaboration. Working together. It might inspire individuals to work in parallel, and you could get a nice collection of individual images around a common theme, but it is still a bunch of individuals each doing their own thing. What I took Christine's idea to be was a call for collaboration, for working together on projects. At least in my understanding of the idea, that would mean a handful (2-5) from PDML would first agree on a general topic. Beach maybe. There would be some initial negotiation to define the limits of the topic. Does Beach include Shore? As I write this, a bunch of kayakers floated down the river past my window; would photos of such activity fit within a Beach theme? That would need to be worked out among, and agreed to by, the members of the work group. It might be that they original author (Christine in this case) of the Beach topic could be the final arbiter on the meaning, focus, scope of the theme. Once the group composition is pretty well settled and the scope of the project decided, then the collaborators would go off in a corner and huddle. OK, so it is a virtual corner, a virtual huddle; same difference. They would work out their ground rules for how to collaborate, e.g., email everything back and forth to all in the work group? Does the putative leader serve as the central node? Do they set up a private Facebook or Posterous group as a shared space? They would proceed with their photography, sharing interim products with one-another, brainstorming suggestions on extending and/or refining the topic, in the process developing a script of sorts for the essay they are working on together. At some point they have enough content, they edit the content into a photo essay, and put it in a gallery someplace where all can admire and critique. For me, the exciting aspect of what I think I heard from Christine is the notion of collaboration. In my professional life most of my work was in collaboration with others, whether it was defining research issues, planning and executing projects, preparing presentations, or writing articles and books. Christine's idea for me served as a jumping off place to think about how collaboration might be possible in this domain as well. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: idea for a pdml photography project
John Sessoms wrote: Before I joined PDML, I used to participate in a Usenet discussion group alt.binaries.photo.original. One of the things that group did was engage in Challenges. Anyone could post a challenge, and anyone else could post an image in response to the challenge. Some of the challenges I remember were yellow and song title. It might be possible to make this work similar to the a.b.p.o challenge. Anyone who has an idea they'd like to collaborate on can post their challenge to the list and anyone on the list can opt in to the challenges they find interesting. and we could call it the PUG! ;-) For those on smugmug there is an every-two-week CHALLENGE on smugmug on the dgrin forum and with yummy prizes.., judges and voting.. high quality technically always, and photoshopping to the extreme not forbidden unless stated - and sort of tiered so that the winners of the short rounds get into the finals, etc... Winner of previous round is obliged to be one of the judges on the next challenge.I only tried that once or twice - when by chance I had already taken something that fit the current theme in the time slot necessary. I have to say I'm not into this assignment like stuff at all... too much like work. which is why almost all of my PUG entries are often at the very least a few months old, if not 30 years. Except for casual snaps , like of Godders during our visit . The themes in my stuff comes after I shoot, usually. So having to decided up front to take photos of such and such a thing pretty much takes all the fun out of it for me. Now that may seem at odds with my wanting to do a critters book, but really, I'm not taking photos of beasties to make a book, just observed that I had a lot already that might be gathered into same. Still, the scut work is tedious and difficult for someone with my lack of skills on the keyboard. Have fun, kids... it will be nice to look at the results. ann Because a.b.p.o was a binaries group on usenet, it was possible to post the challenge images directly to the group. That would not work for PDML, but I think we could find a work-around. I know Flickr has a way to organize groups so that members of the group can post to common page (?), although I don't know how it works ... haven't needed to know before now. I'll have to take a look at how Flickr groups work and get back to y'all on that. But it might be possible to create a PDML Collaborative Group on Flickr or one of the other free image hosting sites to organize the postings by theme. From: Stan Halpin I have quoted Christine's original post in full below for those who missed it the first time. I think Christine has an inspired idea that could allow PDMLers to take their work in a new direction. We have had the themed PUG for many many years, and as Doug notes in his Introduction to this year's PDML Annual, the PUG has been an important element of our identity as a group, taking us beyond random chatter to a more fundamental sharing process. (Doug, my apologies for mangling your thoughts and words with this rough paraphrase.) We have had instances where multiple PDMLers have shared images of a common event (e.g., PDML gatherings, GFM) But always we have seen a collection of single images. We have seen portfolios and photo essays from individuals (Bob W. and Christine's work comes to mind.) But I cannot recall a previous suggestion for a collaborative process like the one C has suggested. C was inspired by a particular body of work which focused on relatively mundane day-to-day activities: tending gardens, eating dinner, going to church, buying gasoline/petrol, getting married . . . But there is no reason this collaboration notion could not encompass any photographic subject. Macros of flowers? Wide angle landscapes? Backyard wildlife? Product photography of grocery-store food items in different countries? The particular topic is irrelevant as long as it inspires two or more list members to decide to work together to try and reflect their shared vision of something. Dan, for example, has an ongoing project on roadside diners. There must be someone on the List who has seen those and thought about the parallels and differences in common eating places in their own countries? From the above you probably have gathered that I strongly endorse C's suggestion. In more specific support I offer the following: a. For the collaborators who are interested, I will commit to editing/publishing the first 4-5 photo essays produced thorough such collaborations; I am imagining a Blurb book with 10-20 pages per essay. If/when such a work is produced, a free copy to all contributors, any profits to the Dana-Farber organization. b. Inspired by some of the industrial images posted by PDMLers, i have been planning a small series of photos of active and decaying midwestern silos and feed mills. I would love to try and work up a
