can not do everything, is not it?! Keep his blog updated his Flickr gallery, pictures ... and do work to give themselves the freedom to create!
It was, I must say, a pinhole day that will mark a turning point in my practice ...
But first things first.
storms that day, but few participants in this meeting ... Too bad for you, you missed a great day!
Claude Cogny, Florian Bricogne (http://www.florianbricogne.com/), Ebba Matz - a Swedish young artist who had read the blog, and in the afternoon Clement (http://www.bonjourpola . com /), a friend of Florian joined us.
Park Belleville, if not huge is pretty nice, based on the model of "English Garden", so no lawn cut the cord, but scattered clumps of flowers, winding paths, greenery, shade and sun ... a nice fake -clutter!
That day, for the first time in my life (yes, you read in my life!) I opened the shooting with a negative color! So far, so used to work for ages (with and without target, medium and large) in Ekta-more precisely Provia I've never tried this kind of film ... But I knew the negative offered substantial advantages: greater exposure latitude, contrast lower, which allows more detail in shadows or highlights as the case ... What worries me the most was the scann because this fucking orange mask ...
But the big blown, I must say that all my fears have vanished and there is no more difficult to get a good scanner and a good image with my dear Provia. Proof (BRL 100 + 636):
The second event was to start taking pictures Pinhole freehand. Not very difficult when the weather is good exposure time is not very long, we'll see what will happen next winter ...
few tests since then, make me want to go ... So it's a case to follow! Finally
third event occurred that day: Florian and Clement are fans of Polaroid ... ouch ouch ouch!
I used a lot these emulsions there was a time, especially in the studio with the famous 55 with its negative polarity recoverable
... You probably know Polaroid has stopped production in 2008, I bought the last boxes available from 79 pola Prophot Noirlac for animation, but c That's all!
Impossible Project has boosted production and first films were released in March 2010 ... All hope is allowed!
So to see these images pinhole out immediately, I was re-infected!
Morality, I took out my closet of old polaroid 250, I hacked its system Battery (obviously, the existing piers there are 20 or 30 years are no longer on the market today!) and he has bravely taken up the service especially during my stay in Barcelona for the show ... 4-4-4
Since then, I am equipped with new movies and obsolete equipment and
... I can not wait to have a little time to mount a pinhole on one box of back pack 100 which receive the Fuji FP ...
must indeed mourn, I hope temporarily-emulsions 4 x 5 inches. Fuji sells them, but the backs were not found compatible ...
So it was a day a little special that will leave traces in other pictures ...
However good habits were at the rendezvous: a day devoted to pinhole can not proceed without a shot in large format: The MarilynMonroHole has helped create this image on the Photographic Library of barium 40 x 50cm
The photographic library, 17 rue de la Villette, Paris
Other negative papers smaller sizes (about 18 x 24 cm)
