“Don’t pack up your camera until you’ve left the location.” Joe McNally Joe Loudermilk... "24 in 28" Today's f8 session was open and Joe Loudermilk brought images from his recent China business trip where he was inspecting manufacturing facilities. In the course of inspecting one plant he managed to shoot 24 pictures in 28 minutes...hence the title of his presentation... "24 in 28". Below is a gallery of 8 images from his series Charles Edwards had previously send an email link to an innovative small house design by a company called "Ten Fold Construction"...you can search for their videos of unique building strategies. They have many videos on YouTube. We then discussed very briefly the issue of "limited editions" the photographers yet unanswered problem; should you or should you not. Charles pointed out that limited editions frequently benefit those people down the chain from the photographers themselves...dealers and collectors. Very complex discussion we will address again in another meeting. Is there such a thing as a limited edition with electronic publishing? Bill noted a movie "Kodachrome" (2017) with Ed Harris about the final developing of the last four rolls of the film. My recollection was that Steve McCurry had those rolls but the movie is not about him...but he does have a cameo. The movie is on Netflix. Finally, a reminder...Bill's Opening Reception at Girdner next week...5/5 from 6-9pm Photographic Images & Abstracts from the series “Art of the City Wall” (2011-2017) As a Visual Hunter Bill has traveled to 13 countries searching city walls for transformational photographic art that has been largely unseen. The focus of this exhibit will be on two cities, Berlin and New York with just a small fraction of the entire series photography. In addition, for the first time, Bill is showing two new abstract photography projects shot in the same cities entitled “5 Abstracts / 5 Pointz, Long Island City” (2014) and “Art School Abstract Gates, East Berlin”(2015) The last discovery in this exhibit will be the photographic print itself since all images are displayed unframed. Today, photographs appear to be centered in the ether of the internet. We have largely lost the experience of touching the print itself. For snapshots this is the new reality but for the Art of Photography, the physical print and its foreverness is the end product. We experience galleries and museums with photographs behind glass …our own reflection clouding our view as we step in close. Is it just preservation. or do barriers of glass isolate us from the real art with its tactile elements of paper and ink…the essence of the Art of Photography. The prints in this exhibit have a particular artistic intent. Nothing is done by chance… not the image composition, the paper choice or printing technique. Look at them up close, touch them and explore the nuances of my photographic art. Bill also showed several abstract prints...a small coming attraction to the show next week...one of which is below
