I cannot see how Dorothea Lange's photos are substantively different
from those that illustrate the story, but I guess the point is not the
images themselves, but rather the way in which the photographers and
editors used those photos in shaping a social narrative.



I think the main difference is that the workers are photographing 
themselves
and their own situation, rather than being the passive subjects of 
someone

else's regard.

B

OK Bob, I can see that. And it raises a large handful of philosophical 
and/or practical issues about photography. E.g., I wonder if we should 
accept the assumption that a participant is more likely to recognize  key 
elements of their condition (suffering, poverty, hard work, old age, 
whatever) and thus is more likely to capture that in an image than an 
outsider. Or whether an amateur with no preconceptions about art and 
composition is more likely than a professional to capture good images. 
There is almost an 18th century argument that the pure natural state is 
better than the educated/developed one.



As someone who documents what she sees with both pen and camera, I'm willing 
to admit all sorts of socio/economic, political--and gender--assumptions--of 
the usual western variety-- inform how I see the world and thus document it. 
In many ways I can't help that, but what I can do is understand how my 
worldview is shaped and accept the fact that other people's worldviews might 
be informed with different assumptions, and, knowing this might help me 
better understand others and their experiences.  I'm willing to accept the 
possibility that an insider might nuance documentation of experience in 
ways I as an outsider might not be able to--in ways I might not even see.


As to the amateur/professional/quality issues Ribalta raises, well, those 
are tricky ones--we'd really need to agree on working definitions  to 
discuss this, but let's try this argument instead--just for fun :-)--and the 
argument goes like this:  professional artists of all types--sculptors, 
painters, musicians, dancers, writers, photographers et al--are *made 
professional* by the artistic standards held by the capital elite who have 
the assets and power to publish, exhibit, produce, and critique (which leads 
to acclaim) artistic work.  Given this argument, that's what makes the WPM 
so interesting--proletariat worker photographers setting their own artistic 
standards--and advancing their own revolutionary agenda to be sure :-)--we 
can't forget that.  And to bring this inclination to modern day, people are 
trying to use the internet to do the exact same thing  :-).


Anyway, it was a great interview and fun to consider all the points and 
arguments Ribalta makes.


Cheers, Christine

RE: More Stupid Ghosting Software Questions

2011-06-04 Thread Bob W
 So, my new SSD is here, but not installed.
 It turns out that the version of Norton Ghost that I have isn't
 compatible with Windows7, so I am in the market for new software.
 
 I am somewhat less than brand agnostic in this regard, and so am
 looking
 for other solutions than Norton
 Anyway...
 I found a thing called AcronisR True Image which looks like it will do
 what I want, and even has a free download so I suppose I can see if it
 will work before I pay for it.
 
 Are there any other drive ghosting solutions out there that I should be
 considering, or does it even matter and I should just buy the cheapest
 one?

the tech support people at a company I worked for a few years ago used
Acronis. Seemed to do those things it ought to do, and not do those things
they didn't want it to do.

I'm not sure if this program will do what you want (Easeus Todo Backup)
but it will clone an entire hard drive or partition. 

The price is certainly acceptable :-)

http://dottech.org/freebies/22232/

The reviewer seems to think that Easeus Todo backup compares well with
Acronis True Image.  I can't comment on either as I haven't used either.

No, not necessarily, but they are at least telling their story in their way.
That's what is most important about it. 

It is also almost certain to give us insights that we couldn't get from
somebody who was parachuted in. That doesn't reduce the value or importance
of the work of the person parachuted in, it recognises the limits, and
provides an additional viewpoint.

 Or whether an amateur with no preconceptions about art
 and composition is more likely than a professional to capture good
 images. 

Well, it's different, not necessarily better or worse. I would, however,
challenge your idea that amateurs have no preconceptions, and the assumption
in there that good images arise only from such preconceptions. To me a good
image is one that conveys the photographer's intention.

 There is almost an 18th century argument that the pure natural
 state is better than the educated/developed one.


I don't think so. I think the two approaches can sit alongside each other,
and provide something that is collectively stronger and more informative. 

It's all very well to send Salgado along to photograph an event or
situation, but it will always be Salgado's view of it, informed as it is by
his background. Great as the photos may be, in my opinion it would also be
great to see pictures by, say, the people in that enormous mine he
photographed.

The problem that arises, though, is that by giving cameras to people in the
community (which is itself rather a patronising thing to do), you privilege
the people with the cameras above the people they are photographing, so you
are just repeating the same problem on a smaller scale. 

If you give everyone a camera, you have an issue of editing and selecting.
Presumably you then ask the community to choose collectively which pictures
they want to show.

But then, when it's time to curate an exhibition, the curator gets to choose
the pictures, so you're kind of back to square one.

 So yes, I can see how the interviewee might distinguish the work from
 e.g. Lange's based on process and method. But looking at the images and
 the stories they tell, none of that really matters to the viewer, and I
 would prefer the emphasis were on how different approaches lead to
 similar outcomes.

PESO x2: Taiaroa Head

2011-06-04 Thread David Mann
The camera in my cellphone has mysteriously started working again.

I'm spending the long weekend (Queen's Birthday) in Dunedin while the Mrs is 
attending a conference.  With nothing better to do I decided I'd ride my bike 
out on the Otago Peninsula.  I was planning to turn around at Portobello but 
decided I may as well go right out to the end, Taiaroa Head.

http://www.multi.net.nz/taiaroa/

You can read more about Taiaroa Head on Wikipedia.  It's quite an important 
nature reserve.  The Royal Albatross centre just had its 1 millionth tour group 
go through the other day which seems quite an achievement (it's too expensive 
for me).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiaroa_Head

The total ride was about 66km with plenty of climbing and I do recommend the 
Highcliff Road.  I couldn't resist riding it both ways :)

Cheers,
Dave

Re: A really tough jpeg conversion

Some are. The larger iMac screens, eg 24 and up, are IPS displays which 
don't exhibit the banding. The older iMacs and all the Mac notebooks 
have TN displays which do show banding. That's why I have a secondary 
IPS LCD monitor on my iMac that I do all my image editing on.

 for other solutions than Norton
 Anyway...
 I found a thing called Acronis® True Image which looks like it will do
 what I want, and even has a free download so I suppose I can see if it
 will work before I pay for it.

 Are there any other drive ghosting solutions out there that I should be
 considering, or does it even matter and I should just buy the cheapest
 one?




 I'm not sure if this program will do what you want (Easeus Todo Backup)
 but it will clone an entire hard drive or partition.

 The price is certainly acceptable :-)

 The reviewer seems to think that Easeus Todo backup compares well with
 Acronis True Image.  I can't comment on either as I haven't used either.

HI Bulent:  Village would be my favorite--a nice job of showing the isolated 
village, and canyon 7 is nice, but of those, canyon 4 would be my favorite 
because of the angle.  You seem to be low to the water surface there and it 
makes for an interesting shot.  Cheers, Christine

Subject: PESO(s) Canyon views and others...



Hello All,

I have recently visited a rather secluded part of Eastern Anatolia:
Kemaliye (Egin).
The area has an Alpine climate.
Some very deep canyons are present.
Most of the villages keep their authentic shapes.

I enjoyed mostly some detail shots and occasional abstracts.

However, I also brought back some informative and tourist-oriented photos.
A few of those can be seen below:
http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=1007045

If you just want to look at a village from above:
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=13275352

A typical canyon view is this one:
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=13275492size=lg

These are shot using a K5, which performed nicely.
I especially liked the amount of highlight (and shadow) recovery
possible with this camera.
As a former user of K100D, K10D and a current user of K20D; I am
amazed by this amount of highlight recovery.

I should be grateful if you could take a look at some of them and
comment on pluses and minuses.

Bulent

Re: Where's the picnic?

Been out of town so I'm catching up here...

When Marcia and I first were together, I had a 17' kevlar canoe.  One 
day I suggested we head for the lake with it.  Not being a 
camping/watersports person, she looked at me, smiled, and said Jews 
don't canoe.  I sold the canoe and bought another Pentax.

Subject: PESO(s) Canyon views and others...



Hello All,

I have recently visited a rather secluded part of Eastern Anatolia:
Kemaliye (Egin).
The area has an Alpine climate.
Some very deep canyons are present.
Most of the villages keep their authentic shapes.

I enjoyed mostly some detail shots and occasional abstracts.

However, I also brought back some informative and tourist-oriented 
photos.

A few of those can be seen below:
http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=1007045

If you just want to look at a village from above:
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=13275352

A typical canyon view is this one:
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=13275492size=lg

These are shot using a K5, which performed nicely.
I especially liked the amount of highlight (and shadow) recovery
possible with this camera.
As a former user of K100D, K10D and a current user of K20D; I am
amazed by this amount of highlight recovery.

I should be grateful if you could take a look at some of them and
comment on pluses and minuses.

Bulent

Subject: PESO x2: Taiaroa Head



The camera in my cellphone has mysteriously started working again.

I'm spending the long weekend (Queen's Birthday) in Dunedin while the Mrs 
is attending a conference.  With nothing better to do I decided I'd ride 
my bike out on the Otago Peninsula.  I was planning to turn around at 
Portobello but decided I may as well go right out to the end, Taiaroa 
Head.


http://www.multi.net.nz/taiaroa/

You can read more about Taiaroa Head on Wikipedia.  It's quite an 
important nature reserve.  The Royal Albatross centre just had its 1 
millionth tour group go through the other day which seems quite an 
achievement (it's too expensive for me).


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiaroa_Head

The total ride was about 66km with plenty of climbing and I do recommend 
the Highcliff Road.  I couldn't resist riding it both ways :)


Cheers,
Dave

  Hi Christine,
 
  Thanks for the pointers and sharing the thoughts.
 
  I've done some ambient light photography of tango with Nikon D700,
  about half of the photos in this gallery:
  http://42graphy.org/tango/astf-2010/
 
  But it doesn't always work (espcially with K-7), because in many
  cases,
  one needs a reasonable DOF (I find that frequently f/1.4 and even
  1.8-2.0
  don't provide enough, and even 2.8 is hard to use when the motion
  is fast and/or close).
 
  I took some photos with ISO 1600 and 3200 with my K-7 at
  the last festival, and they are passable shots, but I am not overly
  happy with them.
 
 
 Yea, I'm disappointed with the K-7's iso quality too.  Maybe I'll go to
 a place that has dancing and try some shots.  You know, looking at your
 photos posted here (and there are some nice ones there), clearly you have 
 challenges to overcome with respect to light, but in a way, your bigger 
 challenge is all the people sitting around the dancing area :-).  Gosh,
 what to do to minimize their presence :-)?  I can see photographing dancers
 in this context is no easy task.  I'm affraid I wasn't very helpful.
 Cheers, 
 Christine
 

Photography and dancers (How to photograph dancers and
how to dance to come out well on photographs) - is a topic of a few 
workshops that I've given recently, and the topic I am actively working
on, hoping to give more of those.
Sorry, if I am repeating myself, - I mentioned them a few months ago.
Some of the aspects of these workshop are described in these two flyers:
http://42graphy.org/news/DancersAndPhotographs-short.pdf
http://42graphy.org/news/DancersAndPhotographs.pdf

It is a challenging genre, but it's a fun one.
We've had several discussions of this question with Larry, who's been
doing things similar to what I do (dancing and photographing at the
dance events).
Besides technical issues, there are also issues related to the specifics
of different dances. E.g. after mastering [at some non-zero level] 
photography of swing dances, it was a new challenge to figure 
out photographing Argentine tango.
 
As for the surroundings (including the people), - basically, in most 
cases, you have to deal with whatever you have just from the venue.
Often, you have to be aware of obstacles (e.g.  mirrors).
But sometimes you can use them to your advantage. Here are
some examples:
http://42graphy.org/swing/abp-2010/sun-classes/_IR_1402.html
http://42graphy.org/swing/abp-2010/sun-classes/_IR_1464.html

Actually, a flash sometimes helps to separate the foreground from the
background, as e.g. in this shot:
http://42graphy.komkon.org/swing/parties/west/_IR_2931.html

In any case, - I really appreciate your and other people's suggestions 
and comments.

Igor

Sophistication is frequently a rather unhappy concept, and very often a

Bread and dripping was common during the Depression years according to
my late parents (who both lived to a ripe old age despite the diet).  I
think I may have been fed it a few times in my early years - which may
explain a lot

I can't quite read the date on that advert but it may be 1957, which
seems a bit late for this sort of thing.  Odd that the advert was issued
in conjunction with the Department of Health.

It's not proper lard, but there is nothing better than cooking up a

I call fake.

The same picture with less cropping, which suggests a source closer to
the original, is on this page:
http://www.asylum.com/2011/01/06/monogomy-linked-to-drunkenness/

Notice that it's attributed to Getty Images.

Tineye is a useful tool when validating images with a doubtful
history.  If I wanted to further close in on the source then follow
the lead to Getty Images.  But I reckon that the authenticity of the
lard advert has been blown already, so that's enough for me.

Re: OT: Interesting Vintage Advert

2011-06-04 Thread Anthony Farr
Here's an interesting article
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2004/nov/16/foodanddrink

which contains this revealing statement,
... the British Lard Marketing Board, a jokey site which promotes the
use of the animal fat beneath the slogan: 'Not suitable for weirdy
vegetarians'.

If you follow-up on the British Lard Marketing Board, you find:
http://www.britishlard.co.uk/

The Board is clearly decades more recent than the advert appears to be.

 Of course a few years of London sophistication put a stop to that diet, so I 
 was very shocked when I went to work back up north for a while to see that 
 people took a break at 11am to get a slice of bread and dripping from the 
 canteen. The perfect diet for people who don't want to live too long. 
 
 Delicious but deadly, although it's probably no worse than bread  butter, 
 and a lot better than hydrogenated vegetable fats. 
 
 Down in the south I encountered an alternative cheap calorie-laden snack - 
 brown sugar sandwiches.

No, what Harriet said is that cooking is like making love. My apologies to Ms. 
Van Horne.

That's exactly right.


Aahh, criticizing me for being overblown is a bit like criticizing me for

No way, Larry, no way. Criticized for being overblown you were not. It 
is the picture title I was talking about. Just that - no more, no less, 
just a title.


To make it clear - I did like the picture, I wasn't upset and I happen 
to know the connotation of the title...
