I thought I would share this with you also, even if this is not pinhole. The photographer is Evgen Bavcar. Born in Slovenia in 1946, he now lives in France. He began to lose his sight at the age of eleven and started to do photography then. He works with an assistant and does outstanding work. He holds a PhD in Aesthetics Philisophy. He has also writen several books and lectures in Europe. He has an excellent web site on Zone Zero at http://www.zonezero.com/exposiciones/fotografos/bavcar/ Hope you enjoy.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Room size pinholes
There is a photographer who does large room size pinhole photos and also photos in a converted van. He did a workshop here in Toronto during Contact 1999, part of the Pinhole workshop. A room was converted to make a giant pinhole camera, sheets of photo paper were pinned up to the wall, and were developed by sloshing the developer around on the paper with brushes while it was laid out on the floor. I think Gregg took that workshop. The person who taught it was from Europe, and had a website, but I forget his name. Gregg, do you remember?

That's great, Gregg! I figured out the bookmark method shortly after sending my post. Seems the 'cookie' function works somewhat erratically on my system and doesn't always start me where I left off. Oh well! Tina Tina and others, I have been working on improvements to the navigation of the gallery this past week. Currently, (unless you block cookies being set on your computer) you should always return to the last photo you look at in the exhibit. I am working on a new navigation bar that includes jumping directly to the end (or to the start) with one click, or going directly to any photo by typing in its number. I hope to have this ready by this weekend. In the meantime, you can jump to any photo in the exhibit by using a url with this pattern: http://www.pinholeday.org/exhibition/?photo=86 (just substitute any valid number for 86, an invalid number just tells you the photo was not found) Other ways of navigating in the gallery include the search which returns 1 or more photos that match your search word, and participants, which returns a list of all participants in a country. From the list of participants, you can link to their photo. As soon as the new navigation bar is ready, I'll post it to the list. Gregg _ Pinhole Visions at http://www.???

[pinhole-discussion] comments re new images
Thanks to all who took time to look! These particular images were 'hand coloured' in Photoshop. I have a pen tablet which makes this much easier. For those interested in trying the technique, the easiest way is to 1-change the image mode from grayscale to RGB 2-Create a new layer, choosing 'colour' as the type in the drop down menu box. 3- Set the opacity to around 30-40% in whatever tool you choose to use. I sometimes use the brush, sometimes the airbrush. Colour away! I used to do a lot of handcolour work on fibre based darkroom prints and am still experimenting with various inkjet papers for handcolouring. For those interested in handcolouring visit www.handcolor.com The indoor lighting was not controllable, but I was really interested to see what could be done with the very contrasty situtations. The contrast was adjusted in Photoshop as the best that could be done. Guillermo, the exposures were about 125-250 outside and 1/30 inside.

[pinhole-discussion] PC/MAC compatibility question
Can anyone on the list tell me if j-peg images saved in pc format and burned on a CD-Rom in a PC would be readable by a MAC cd-rom reader? I have to send some images on CD and need to know if (#1)I have to re-save all the tiff files as MAC format jpegs before burning or not, and (#2) if a CD burned in a PC is readable by a MAC, and in which format. I know I could not read cd-roms of tiff files burned on a mac on my pc, but could read zip files of tiffs created on my pc on a mac! In other words, I'm totally confused. (as usual) Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I'm sure someone on the list has the answer. I really don't want to track down 80 or so tiff and psd files to re-do when I have already J-pegd them once.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Pinhole and lith printing - A natural complement?
Which lith printing paper kit were you using, Guy? I have lith developer and have used it with some non lith papers (infectious development method)but hadn't found lith paper in Toronto. Was thinking of ordering some from the USA. BTW have you seen the book The Master Photographer's Lith Printing Course by Tim Rudman? Very helpful and inspiring. Tina Hi everybody! Really this has been busy times for me lately. But, it seems I just can't stop... I received last week my first Lith Printing kit and I just had to try it on some of my favorite negatives. What a discovery! To me Lith Printing is a natural complement to pinhole. I've loaded a picture at http://www.p at ???/discussion/upload/images/accalmie1lr.jpg Comments welcome! Anybody else does lith printing on this list? I'd be happy to hear and share experiences. Cheers, Guy P.S. Lith Printing is a special BW printing process using specific types of paper and a specific type of paper developer. The paper is massively overexposed under the enlarger and processed in highly diluted developer for very a long period of times (from 8 to 30 minutes, with constant agitation...). The print turns in shades of colors and yields very different contrasts ranges in the highlights and the shadows. Something like split toning, but different, all taking place at the developer stage. ___ Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.p at ???/discussion/ _ Pinhole Visions at http://www.p at ??? ___ Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.p at ???/discussion/ _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] process vs product
Hmmm - Maybe an organic process versus a more linear approach? Tina From: Guy Glorieux guy.glori...@sympatico.ca I find this beginning thread very interesting. Process is at the root of what we do as pinholers. This is a craftmanship process which leads to a product that is in many ways unique. Much more so than in lens photography, although there can be a lot of process in lens photography. But I tend to think that lens photographers look for the ability to consistently REPEAT the process, whereas, to me pinhole photography is more an exploration of how far the process allows me to go without breaking down.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Hardware geeks
Well,you know, a lot of people hide behind the equipment question and think that if only they had the right or a really good camera they could be great photographers. What is really missing is the confidence in themselves and their own vision. They don't really believe it's the person that clicks the shutter (removes the lenscap?)that creates the magic. Too bad they are afraid to screw up, to allow that old serendipidy to happen. Tina They weren't the least bit interested, when I showed them the cap and my zone plate matted (and hand colored) images. Not supprizing, they are all hardware geeks.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] black and white printer

They are being discontinued so can be found quite cheaply, as can the 1160. Note that the 760 and 1160 do not use the new chip cartridge, so a wide choice of 3rd party inks are available. The Cone piezography system also works with the 760, but as Gregg says is pricey. If you have questions, you can contact me offlist, since this isn't really pinhole! It's a great system.

[pinhole-discussion] print swap
Looks like a lot of people are interested in the 'swap'. On another list I belong to (Epson printer) a travelling portfolio of prints was organized. Those interested contributed a print. One person co-ordinated the list and the gathering of the prints. Once the group of prints was gathered, it travelled from person to person on the list who had contributed a print. Thus all participants saw the whole set, but didn't have to make a huge number of prints. I think a maximum size of 8x10 was decided, although prints could be smaller. This was somewhat a function of the size of people's inkjet printers. I think a cut off date was also established for receipt of prints to be included in the portfolio. The cost only involved the mailing of the prints to the next person and creation of one print each, so those who wanted to play could afford to. The only downside was not being able to keep the prints! As for theme, I like the self portrait idea.If it does not turn out to be a major financial/time committment, I would like to join.

[pinhole-discussion] Re: digital giclee
Hi Tina What do you mean by digital giclee prints? I think someone else asked about this. You might want to reply on list. Thanks Colin Hi Colin! Giclee is a fancy term used to describe photographic inkjet prints. They were originally produced on Iris proof printers which cost $20,000.0 plus. Over the past few years Epson has come out with a number of printers capable of making real photo quality prints on a wide variety of artist papers such as watercolour. The problem with Epson is that their inks are not very archival at all. However many third party companies producing archival ink for both colour and black and white work soon appeared, and people started filling their own cartridges with the archival ink. The printers range from desktop 8 1/2 x 11 in size up to the epson 9000 which can produce prints about 40 wide and any length. The latest wrinkle is that the newest epson printers have a digital chip in the cartridge to prevent third party non epson ink cartridges from being used. No one is happy about this, and it remains to be seen if Yankee ingenuity can get around it! The reviews of epson's latest effort to produce an archival ink/paper combination are mixed. It also gets quite expensive if one cannot refill or use a continuous bulk ink system feed. There are high end service bureaus that produce prints, again quite pricey. I could go on for pages, its a whole other photographic world! From: Colin Talcroft ctalcr...@yahoo.com Reply-To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

Re: [pinhole-discussion] new image upload
Hi Colin! Thanks for your comments. The waterfall image was taken on Ilford Delta 3200 film with my 2 1/4 converted Lubitel Zone Plate. The umbrella was taken with a lovely zone plate made by Guillermo Penate for my 35 mm Canon, also on Delta 3200. Both were developed in Rodinal and then worked on in Photoshop. I do a lot of work with curves in Photoshop to adjust the tonal range of the final image since the zone plate negs never have much contrast. I have printed zone plate negs in my regular BW darkroom, but it's a lot easier to get the results I want digitally. I do almost all my work as digital giclee prints now, both colour and BW. There are a lot of great watercolour type papers for printing available. I use Generation colour ink and MIS Quadtone black inks in two different printers, one for colour and one for BW. Sorry for the inevitable technical question, but what kind of camera? We talked briefly before about my frustration with zone plate, but you've got both the ethereal haloes and good contrast. I have just moved to California from Japan (after 18 years!) and will be working less. I hope to have the time to get back to zone plate and do some more exploring. Colin __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
