On view now through November 15, 2010 at Aperture Gallery, Paul
Strand in Mexico is a historic exhibition comprised of over a hundred
photographs by one of the great modern masters, including Strand’s
vintage prints; stills from his classic film, Redes (The Wave; 1936); and
previously unseen documents and ephemera related to Strand’s time in
Mexico in 1932-34, and again in 1966. This unique and important
photographic portrait of Mexico at a critical point in its history will open
at Aperture Gallery on September 16, 2010, to coincide with the
celebrations commemorating the bicentennial of Mexico’s Independence
(1810) and the centennial of its Revolution (1910).
From Oct 15, 2010 through Oct 16, 2010 Aperture will present
symposiums bringing together a distinguished group of international
scholars and practitioners from Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the
United States. To find out more about the Paul Strand in Mexico
symposiums click here.

Hidden (7 photos)OCT 08, 2010 01:00A.M.

“This moment is full of tension, loaded with possibility and suspended
silence”.
Michael Tummings says,” The hunter waits in silence, stilling his
movement and reducing his breath to a minimum. Waiting and
watching, he attempts to become invisible, to disappear into the natural
background. Here, the external and internal noises, the distractions of
modernity, are cancelled out in a single moment– a spasm of time that is
irreversible. These photographs reference the classic European tradition
of paintings depicting the hunt, in addition to 20th century photographic
portraiture. The rituals and divisions of class are inherent to the images
in Hidden, as are both the modernization and preservation of tradition.
Employing 5 x 4 analogue photography, the series uses a detached
camera eye to observe the social dynamics of the group, its rituals, and
the ways in which they are infused with meaning.”
Michael Tummings is a Munich, Germany based artist, whose work is
featured in the new issue of Fraction Magazine. To see more of
Tummings work click here. To view the new issue of Fraction magazine

but apparently, we were wrong. Ghosts come in all shapes and sizes!
Some are transparent and grumpy, some jolly and made of
marshmallow. Others float and induce sadistic sneezing sessions.
…Like the spooky figures in Ujin Lee and Tom Edward’s “Dust” series.
Their powdery explosions take the form of ghostly figures photographed
in eerie locations, like abandoned playgrounds and empty museum halls.
Another photographer, Marie Hanhnhon Nguyen, experiments with
flour, creating images of floating clouds and phantom-like human
figures.
The flour envelops her subjects in a white transparent glow, giving the
photos a deliciously haunting mood.
If you’re inspired to try your own powdery phantom photos, we rounded
up a few more projects to whet your appetite!:
• Use smoke drops, which are perfect for spooky-fying your photos
(example: The scariest photo you’ll ever see).
• Use mystifying color smoke balls, like those in Ólafur Arnalds’
music video.
• Take a look at The Flour Hour Flickr pool, which is packed with
flour photo play.
• Check out Wizard Smoke by Salazar, a short video featuring
phantom-esque skateboarders dressed in flour and tempera
powder paint. Their movements leave ghostly trails of human-
shaped clouds behind them.

Italian Project Photographs 28-Gigapixel-Images of FamousPaintingsOCT 05, 2010 06:03A.M.
The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. Top image: Zoomed all the way out.
Bottom image: Zoomed all the way in on an eye.
www.haltadefinizione.com
Haltadefinizione or HAL9000 (Open the bay doors HAL), is an Italian
project that undertakes the process of photographing extremely high-
definition images of famous paintings and putting them online for
everyone to see.
Works already available in their interactive online gallery-viewer
include: Da Vinci’s Last Supper and Annunciation, Botticelli’s The Birth
of Venus, Verrocchio and Leonardo’s The Baptism of Christ, Gaudenzio
Ferrari’s Life Stories of Christ, Pontormo’s Deposition, Agnolo
Bronzino’s Elanor of Toledo, Francesco Paolo Michetti’s The Daughter
of Iorio and Caravaggio’s Bacchus.
Earlier works that were photographed, like The Last Supper, consisted of
16 billion pixels, although some of the newly photographed works consist
of a mind-blowing 28 billion pixels (which is technically less than half
the pixels of the “world’s largest photo,” a 70-gigapixel image of
Budapest). The images are made up of thousands of individual
photographs taken with Nikon cameras (newer images were shot with
D3X’s while older ones were shot with D2X’s).
The project’s Web site claims that the goal of taking such detailed images
is to provide an experience that one could only previously get through
viewing each respective painting in person—although with 28 billion
pixels, one can zoom in on a painting (via the online gallery-viewer) to a
point that previously could only be seen using a magnifying device.
Currently, Haltadefinizione is working to digitize an additional 24
paintings from the Ufizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
While we still highly recommend seeing these famous works of art in
person if you have the chance, viewing them on Haltadefinizione’s site is
a real treat. The detail that can be seen when zoomed all the way in is
unbelievable.
For more information, check out Haltadefinizione’s site.

India Bureau TyperoomOCT 05, 2010 01:00A.M.
© Jan Banning
Jan Banning says, “This photo was made in the Old Secretariat in Patna,
Bihar, India, while working on my project ‘Bureaucratics’. Because of the
strong diagonal, I considered it too ‘dynamic’ to be included in the book
or the exhibition of the same name. How dynamic was the situation in
this typeroom really? When I entered, of the dozen or so people in the
room, two or three were snoring. Others had their feet on the desk and
were comfortably – but living dangerously – leaning backward on their
chair’s two hind legs, dozing away. One man was actually doing what I
naively thought they were all supposed to do: typing. When asked why
they kept this ‘typewriter graveyard’, he answered: ‘This is not a
graveyard! These typewriters are awaiting new personnel. We’re 40%
understaffed.”
‘Bureaucratics’ can be seen as part of the Moving Walls exhibit at Open
Society Institute and also at the Half King gallery in New York, NY.

Frolicking about the garden chasing butterflies and bubbles with camera
in hand…
An outsider might call this a case of fallen-and-bumped-your-head, but
we call it a great time!
Richard Heeks, better known as The Bubble Master (and who we posted
about on our Tumblr recently!), introduced us to these three sure fire
ways to capture incredible photos of bubbles.
1) Make your bubble look like a planet
Quicktips: Use a macro lens or settings, close-up where the sun reflects
off the surface, capture the bubble against a shadow (this will make it
look like a planet floating in space!)
2) Capture the pop
Quicktips: Fast shutterspeed – around 1/500, use rapid fire shoot
settings, take lots of photos (it took Richard a month to capture his
series)
3) Shoot your self portrait in a bubble (and other reflections!)
Quicktips: Shoot on a non windy day, Richard shot at f/5, 1/400, ISO
400 for his bubble reflection self portrait, use a telephoto lens (you can
use zoom, also) – for example, Richard usually shot at 70mm
More Bubble Photo Tips:
1) Photograph when the air is still
2) shoot at sunrise or sunset
3) manual focus if you can (since autofocus doesn’t always
focus correctly with transparent subjects)
4) the thickness of the bubble and the bubble’s surroundings
will affect the color
Bubbles. Who’da thought? They’ve only been floating in front of our
noses all these years.
