RangerScum posted:Hido might not want you feeling sorry for him but I don't think it's wrong to feel bad about whatever situation led him to express himself in the way that he does. Life can suck, but I think it's nice to be able to appreciate the poo poo that sucks as a part of the human experience. Ditto for the "pretty", "empty", "hollow" poo poo. I don't know anything about Hido's personal life but I can't imagine it being too bad, not now at least. To be able to show the level of control he has over his expression seems to me to be the preserve of someone who has a strong grip of who they are and what they want to get across. Things might not be a bed of roses for him, but I think he at least understands who he is and what he's doing, which is a lot more than other people. quote:For me personally I prefer to enjoy a mix of the two. I like Hido's work, but I don't limit my taste nor my aesthetic preferences to him. I don't think he's someone that you have to subscribe to in order to enjoy. Enjoy his work, then go jerk it to some pics of some cats to cheer you up. That's what I do anyway. I absolutely appreciate Hido's work, and that's what I was trying to get across with my Italian café analogy. Even though I didn't like the meal, I appreciated everything about it: the setting, the staff, the relaxed atmosphere, the quality of the ingredients, that it was perfectly cooked. I loved my time there and I've gone back many times (ordering something else.) It just didn't fully work for me. But I'd take that type of experience in a restaurant, even not liking the final result over eating in Burger King 99 days out of 100.

Success and the ability to function in your career is no indication of well-being or stability, especially when you're talking about an artist.

 I saw this image in a BBC documentary (World War 1's Forgotten Photographs), taken by a 17 year old German soldier. The documentary itself is very interesting and pro-watch (full version available on Youtube at that link).

I just watched that documentary, very much worth a look. I've been doing a bunch of a family tree research on my GG Grandfather who was at ww1 in the Australian army, so its always good to watch documentaries that use material from the people who were there. Gonna go see if I can get one of those Kodak Vest Pocket cameras and put some 35mm in it.

I just read a short interview with Harald Hauswald. He did a lot of photography in East Berlin during the 80s. http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/harald-hauswald-captures-erich-mielkes-hooligans-876?utm_source=vicetwitterca Also here is his website. There is some  stuff in the photos though.http://www.harald-hauswald.de/englisch/seiten/index_haupt.html

The only photographer I can think of that takes photos that I could never see myself being able to take is Jacob Aue Sobol. Probably for that reason, he's my favorite. He has this extreme level of intimacy that I haven't seen anywhere else. I'm sure there are plenty of photographers who have built their work around documenting social issues and subcultures that put out consistently more jarring images, and of course any war photojournalist is going to document ever more horror, day after day, but I feel like I could do that, if pressed. Only Jacob takes photos that I'm sure I couldn't take.

All portland goons should go head to the Portland Art Museum and see Richard Mosse's The Enclave. Huge beautiful prints taken with a large format camera using discontinued infrared film. The video instillation is pretty damned amazing for the brief glimpse I caught of it before the museum closed. It was shot on the most moon rocky of film: Richard Mosse, "The 16mm version [of the infrared film] is on a special order basis, so it was really hard to find. I was working through a network of used film dealers and found some of it, apparently produced special-order by Kodak for a film to be shot in Death Valley; but once the cinematographer started to research the film, he realized how impossible it would be, because the film is critically heat-sensitive; it only lasts seven days outside of the freezer. So I worked for about two or three years to get it, and these [film dealers] kept saying it was there and then it wasn’t there, and it was there, and I kept offering and offering and offering. I made one last offer and apparently [the owner’s] wife had had a baby, so he found his priorities changed, so he finally decided he could sell it."

I saw The Enclave a couple months back in Montreal and yeah, it's fantastic. If you have time, I'd suggest going back and watching the video installation in its entirety. It's somewhere in the neighbourhood of 30-40 minutes and standing in the middle of a room with screens all around me was one of the most intense and disorienting audio/visual experiences I've had in any sort of gallery.

Yeah, I absolutely have to go back. I was completely immersed in the environment. The sound kept building and I was becoming exponentially more anxious as the soldiers started to take aim. Then the docent came in, shut off all of the screens, and said the museum was closed - giving me the worst art blue balls ever.

There is a gallery I really like on Behance, A guy named Jakub Polomski from poland is a landscape photographer. He made a Timeline of some of his work since 2007. It's the first thing I came across when I signed up for the adobe photographers bundle through 500px and linked it to Behance. it's located here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/21706845/My-Own-Path Obviously there is some photoshopping involved, but I'll leave it up to you whether or not it falls in your tastes. goattrails fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Dec 18, 2014 |

Also, there are poorly set up and repetitive anecdotes throughout the pictures but bad writing is pretty standard for photo blogs so I guess he gets a pass. A lot of the photos are really neat. PS - If you watch the video they do zoom to 100% effects on some of the night photos and they are extremely clean, not noisy like the versions on the site Dren fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Jan 14, 2015 |

Here are some people on flickr that I follow and consistently put out good poo poo. 1. Bart van Damme - relation to JCVD? Possible. He's a dutch dude who takes cool photos of some of the pretty unique landscapes that area has. Takes a shitload of photos that are all at least interesting at the worst.  Maasvlakte by Bart van Damme, on Flickr Maasvlakte by Bart van Damme, on Flickr 's-Gravenzande by Bart van Damme, on Flickr2. Matthias Werner - German guy, I think he mostly shoots MF with a blad. Lots of real interesting compositions / scenes. Works that square format like a son of a bitch.  Untitled by matthiaswerner, on Flickr Untitled by matthiaswerner, on Flickr Untitled by matthiaswerner, on FlickrMarkus Lehr - another German, this dude shoots mostly night industrial stuff, which I dig.

The combination of post-processing and subject matter reminds me of computer generated scenes. I think some are on the verge of being over-processed but I think it's worth it for the atmosphere it creates. Does anyone know what sort of processing he applies to get this effect?
