Steve Ricoh Posted July 17, 2018 Share #51741 Posted July 17, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) What a nice color on this van. Perfect framing! In the following snapshot I just love the color rendition of Ektar: Bild-1-130.jpg Minilux - Kodak Ektar Thanks James.I agree entirely with you regarding 'Tropical Beach', the colours are absolutely sublime. It was begging for the shot!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nowhereman Posted July 17, 2018 Share #51742 Posted July 17, 2018 I think this picture will suggest different meanings depending on the context. In a book about a megacity it could suggest “like sardines”; in a fish restaurant as a large print it, could suggest something else. Same for sequencing: when one image follows another one in a book or exhibition a narrative appears, even if there is no “story.” A 150x100 cm (60x40 inch) print of this photo hangs in a box frame in a restaurant in Mae Rim near Chiang Mai, called Love Sushi, next to a photo of the same size of fish with a more anodyne look. Although I took this picture long before I ever heard of Portuguese photographer Paulo Nozolino, I was reminded of his dark vision, dealing largely with entropy and death, when I recently saw this print in the restaurant. Nozolino shoots Tri-X with an M6 and, I believe, a 35 mm Summicron. He only shoots film, to which he has an uncompromising attitude: the English-language blurb for his workshop at Arles stated, "This workshop is not for digital photoshop liars, reportage, landscape or portrait photographers, conceptual artists or career seekers. It is a workshop for the unsure, the poets, the dreamers, all of those who feel they don’t fit in the system!" I do admire him for not having a website, though — not even an Instagram account. Incidentally, in an hour-long conversation with Alberto García Alix, at the PhotoEspaña Festival last year (video available online), he said that he shoots only 20 rolls of film annually. I thought he was exaggerating, but in an online interview a few months ago he said that he sometimes has a roll of film in his camera for three months before he finishes it. His photographs are so dark that it's difficult to get a sense of them online. Many of his prints are huge: 80x120cm. Perhaps the best way to look at them is in some of the short videos of his exhibitions that can be found online — the exhibition lighting makes the pictures look better. Also, his dark images don't reproduce that well in books. I have his Penumbra (Scalo) and Far Cry (Steidl), which are printed well; but I think, ultimately, one needs to see his prints. Has anyone seen them?

By looking up some of his work I now clearly see the references between his work and your picture, which is exquisite on its own but gains more substance with the contributed context.

It proves to be a somewhat difficult lens to focus wide open. I am elated with the result. I think the softness adds more than it misses.

stray cat Posted July 18, 2018 Share #51755 Posted July 18, 2018 It's beautiful, Phil. Lucky accident Thank you so much, Edward. It's a beautiful building on its own - I think as a place for reflection about the sacrifice many have made it's an outstanding piece of architecture. But, yes, I was very happy with my accident! Fascinating to see Antonio's and Gary's pictures taken from roughly the same place! Interesting to see the "take" two different (very talented) photographers put on what is essentially the same subject. And Rog, I realize one of the many interesting aspects of viewing your work is discerning where the "joins" that make up the diptych/triptych are made. Assembly being a not-inconsiderable part of the construction. You obviously have some colourful walls in California! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the following snapshot I just love the color rendition of Ektar: Bild-1-130.jpg Minilux - Kodak Ektar BTW what is it with all these 1950s colours suddenly appearing with Ektar? For such a saturated film it lends itself so beautifully to that pastelly look - who'd have thought? I certainly hope to see more in this vein. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me think of how many times I have looked on similar vehicles and not recognized the photo opportunity presented. True originals. The below is something I shot the other day while putting my first roll of Fuji Superia 100 through a "Ricoh" 35 rangefinder. Now I realize how I should have treated the opportunity.

Steve Ricoh Posted July 18, 2018 Share #51760 Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks Wayne! For me, one off my best "photo tutors" I've had has been the 135mm lens. It asks me to view the world in a different way, to isolate and explore. Who says GAS has a negative impact. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
