In honor of #pride, here's a collection devoted to LGBTQIA+ photographers and photography, from radical early projects (like the secret studio run by Norwegian photographers Bolette Berg and Marie Høeg) to the "queer new wave" rising today.
"For many LGBTQ, non-binary and gender-fluid artists, photography remains a charged cultural and political tool, a way to document a past and present, while guaranteeing a future." — Ananda Pellerin, @CNN
Saturday is World Wet Plate Day. Do we have any collodion/tintype photographers out there?
Flipboard’s premier curator on this topic, @mhaustria, made a collection to celebrate his favorite holiday. It includes a story about a DIY camera he built to capture ghosts and a list of collodion photographers you should know.
French photographer Juliette Pavy is the overall winner of the annual Sony World Photography Awards for her documentary project about the sterilization of women in Greenland, and will receive a cash prize of $25,000. Here's more from CNN about her project, which was entered into the documentary category. You can also learn more about some of the winners of other categories, including Liam Man, a landscape photographer from the U.K., who took the otherworldly "Moonrise Sprites over Storr," and Valery Poshtarov of Bulgaria, who won the portraiture category for his series “Father and Son.”
Gene Herrick, the Associated Press photographer who took iconic pictures of Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, and covered the Korean War and the trial of the killers of Emmett Till, died last week at age 97. He started at the AP aged 16 in Columbus, Ohio, as an office assistant, and retired in 1972. Here's the agency's tribute to him.
“This photo was taken by Nikita Teryoshin. It shows a VIP reception at a Swedish booth at an arms fair in Kielce, Poland, in 2016. Teryoshin spent eight years traveling to defense shows worldwide, capturing the surreal ways weapons are bought and sold. (…)
In the video, we break down the satire of this and other photos by Teryoshin and how the lampooning is even weightier because these arms expos evade public radar.” [Reading the Pictures]
I have 3+ #scanners, all with wildly different #color results, as you can see below. At least 2 of them can scan directly over LAN (in Simple Scan).
Ideally I'd want #colormanagement / calibration of scans, ideally with "Simple Scan" (otherwise, how do you do it with XSane?). I have a ColorMunki spectrophotometer, if it helps.
'The Marnie Archives are the work of a man who has been completely uncompromising in his choice of life path, sacrificing financial security, relationships and even home life for his craft.... Marc’s vast archive was nearly lost when the basement where they were stored was flooded. Now he’s trying to preserve the prints by digitising them for posterity. He reckons 90% of them have never yet been seen.'
