stray cat Posted March 26, 2023 Share #86121  Posted March 26, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) 11 hours ago, Kl@usW. said: Thank you, Phil. Actually the strange rendering of the pale blue sky by the Ilford Ortho possibly helped... About the Rolleiflexes I agree; if you find the right scenery for them, the result is magic.  I´m even thinking about a clean 2,8 F...or a GX ...  Phil, I saw the  Irving Penn retrospective a couple of years ago in Berlin. Contrasting the elegant portraits of men and women I found his work of cigarette butts and bottle caps highly aesthetic. If you have an explanation why we ( you, me, and all the photographers of urban and rural decay ) find pleasure in this kind of subjects.... let me know. btw  the micro nikkor and the agfapan 25  seem to have been a dream team..  Thank you sincerely, Dr Klaus. I have no idea why some oddballs such as you and I take pleasure in seeing detritus or decay as aesthetic apogees. It would be worth remarking that the works by Penn to which you refer are, of course, so beautifully arranged, lit and printed (and large!) that it would be cruel not to look at them as objects of visual beauty. But I suspect it goes deeper than that and, in a way, I think there is something very comforting in finding that cast-off and/or vernacular things - to which we are all exposed in our daily lives - have some sort of intrinsic value beyond that they are otherwise shunned. That the objects in the pictures have something in themselves that is worth looking at and thinking about. TMX has made a very good show of that with his pinhole (above) and of course Wayne shows "flyover country" (which I take to mean the territory one normally passes on their way to somewhere else) to be somewhere that, actually seen, never fails to reveal a quiet richness that invites a contemplative serenity for it shows a world where very real lives are lived in a muted dignity. I want to also mention dsleica's breathtaking domestic scene (above) - surely a shoe-in for the next "Family of Man" exhibition, as well as Rog's so-well-seen and executed "corner job" illustrating an unfinished, perhaps neglected chore, illustrated in an irresistible simplicity with a graphic richness. And that is not even to touch on the other brilliant works that appear on these pages and throughout "I Like Film". What an impressive showcase and resource this is! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aram Langhans Posted March 26, 2023 Popular Post Share #86127  Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Curious how most of you are getting your film images into digital form for posting. I am scanning the negatives or slides with a Minolta Dimage 5400 II since I no longer have a darkroom at home or have access to one. Most of the prints I have from my darkroom days are 8x10 or larger mounted on matte board so it would be hard for me to scan them on my flatbed scanner. I guess I could photograph them with a digital camera.  Another shot from the same homestead as above with same equipment with the addition of a flash to balance the lighting.  Welcome, dear visitor!

Wayne Posted March 28, 2023 Share #86139  Posted March 28, 2023 Flyover Country Another long visit with my old friend, John Rees. Native of Bavaria. Been here since 1850. This conversation was about whether I have to wait until Easter Mass, or if I could start drinking beer again on Good Friday. I recall reading somewhere that Poe advocated visiting the dead. I think he was on to something. John has cleared up quite a few issues for me, over the years. Welcome, dear visitor!
