We've been so busy enjoying the 112 degree heat I didn't get this
message online as soon as I'd planned. (Well it was actually only 100
degrees F yesterday. Figuring in the humidity, they said, made it FEEL
like 112.)
Hoping this isn't too late for those going to Santa Fe, I repeat a message
I sent to the History of Photography list 2 days ago. The occasion was
some aspersions (if you could believe !) cast on the alt-photo-process
list.... The general topic was "non-silver publishing" and a good
"non-silver book" -- my comments were primarily about the *drastic* change
in that field since the Internet (I'll post them here in due course, too,
since you insist), but I concluded:
The "alt-photo-list" has been an incredible source and stimulus of
information, but also a remarkable social arena .... It has certainly
brought fine friends into my own life from around the world.... In fact,
Galina Manikova, a remarkable alt-artist and photographer from Russia by
way of Norway is here now -- on her way to APIS in Santa Fe. If going to
that event, do NOT miss her talk and her delightful self.
I'll add now that Galina's work is among the most innovative and
commanding I've seen in the field -- in any contemporary field for that
matter. So don't decide that a good time to catch up on your laundry or
the hometown news would be during her talk. Also, get a look at her
digital video camera (more precisely perhaps her new digital appendage) !
You'll want one.
And for those who can hang around in Santa Fe until the 16th, another
remarkable "alt-photographer" is opening at the Santa Fe Museum. French
pinhole photographer Laurent Millet's "Petite Machines and the Windtraps"
will be there for 6 months starting July 16. This show in NYC April-May
was the best I saw all year. (Page 24 Post-Factory #3, "Tea and Selenium
via Camera Obscura, made in France.")
PS: Carl, Galina has your issues.
