“There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.” Robert Frank Today was an open session but we had a number of great visual contributions. We reviewed two presentations that were shown at Open Show several days ago. The first was by Joe Loudermilk entitled "William: The Story of a Boy." The boy is Joe's son who was born with CP (Cerebral Palsy). Joe's presentation visually showed Will's ability in spite of his disability. Below are just several pictures from his project on Will. From the same Open Show we saw the presentation by David Schulman entitled "Nasty Women & Bad Hombres"...David is not a part of f8. David shot these people as they were protesting on the street with his iPhone 7-Plus with its Portrait Lens...and amazing bokeh. See a few pictures from his series below. Jim Staub showed prints he made from negatives 40-50 years old. Below is a comment directly from Jim "With the premise that one's photographic output is open to interpretation throughout the life of the photographer, I have made revisits to my work, most incisively through the means of digitialization, with evolving personal aesthetics and editing tool. Using for example this 1977 image of, 'San Gabriel Drive In' I am in essence collaborating with myself 40 years later. To paraphrase Ansel Adams, " The negative is the score; the print is the performance". Richard Schuster showed a photo calendar he created for his friends who meet at Jones virtually every day...below are several pinup calendar months Lastly, Bill showed a small series of reprints from older images "Art of the City Wall" 2013. One example is shown below:
