Today I went to listen to Sisse Brimberg and see her photgraphs in �ksnehallen, Copenhagen - the lecture Jostein unfortunately didn't get to attend two days ago. She showed the some of the famous shots we can all find on the internet and then some photographs from the former USSR republic called Tovu (not sure of the spelling). Very intersting.
Afterewards people asked her if she shot digital or film. She said mostly film, but increasing more photographs was made digitally. She actually liked film, because digital photography requires so much work done by the photographer after the shooting. Until recently she could just shoot away and then send a bunch of film back to the magazine every once in a while. A photographers working day is usually from early morning till late night. So there is really no time for working at the computer. When shooting digitally, much more of the work will need to be done by the photographer - not by the lab, the editors etc. (I was thinking that this the case in many other jobs as well. I have to type my own letters, do the filing work etc. - 20 years ago clerical assistants did that..:-) She said she never cropped her images. The slides she showed looked like a "6x7 format", so I asked about her equipment. Sisse Brimberg answered, that it was all done in 24x36mm, which seemed a little odd, since the photographs must have been cropped a little to look like the 6x7-format, which we saw on the screen. http://lava.nationalgeographic.com/cgi-bin/pod/PhotoOfTheDay.cgi?day=22&mont h=8&year=04 Cheers Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt
