"every photograph is altered in one way or another" john paul caponigro This weeks meeting was lead by Charles whose talk today centered on the art of image manipulation before the digital age and Photoshop. First, he demonstrated his own use of layering negatives to produce a final "altered" image. He used this particular technique while attending Art Center and in the early part of his commercial photography career. He then showed how various techniques were used from the dawn of photography to the current day in cinema to produce altered images. These images were in politics, photojournalism, advertising and even fine art photography. After his demo and general discussion, he presented a 45 minute show with examples of famous and infamous altered images Unfortunately, could not attach his whole PowerPoint show....too big...but below are a few examples...some self-evident, some requiring some explanation and others beyond explanation. For those not there it was a tour de force ...thank you Charles...well done Steve sent in a picture from far off and cold Detroit...see below...thank you Steve and come home soon. It did prompt some compositional discussion. Finally, we are going to feature whichever f8'er is currently showing at Jones. As you all know we still have a small gallery at Jones administered by Rene Sheret. Currently Joe Loudermilkis showing his B&W images...see below
