material matters

NOTE: I did not take any of the photographs in this post.

This is a pinhole image by Mark Tweedie Paper negative pinhole titled “pinhole – jan 1" Taken in 2008

I think this is a cyanotype, but it might be a gum bichromate image by Sandra Davis taken in June(?)

This is a cyanotype on fabric done by James Mott on March 14, 2010

This Photograph was hand-colored by Joanne Domka. She is a hand-colored photography specialist. It is titled Construction. I don't know the year or the size.

Hand-colored image: Sidewalk View, Ginza Dori, Tokyo ca. 1925

Title: Protuberencia // color 4x5 landscape pinhole photo by IMRE BÉCSI

This is a pinhole image from another great pinhole artist. Check out more of his AMAZING pinhole images at http://chriskeeneyphoto.com/blog/2010/03/imre-becsi-march-2010-–-featured-pinhole-photographer/

Title: Homage to Man Ray // 6x9 pinhole photo by John Fobes

Edithe Beutler's "Coconut Climbers" hand colored photograph circa 1940's

SKU: VRP_027

This rare and beautiful image is skillfully reproduced here for the firs time ever directly from the original! Considered a master of Hawaiian handcolored photography, Edithe Beutler original photographs rarely turn up on the market for sale. To our knowledge, there are less than six originals of this image in exisence.

14.5" X 18"

Van Dyke Brown print cyanotype on Arche Platine paper. Analogical negative with interpositive on paper.

NORIKO OHBA All I know is that this image is at least as old as 2008. I love how long it takes to figure out what you're looking at.

I think the images were taken in Japan and I think this one is titled "waveswinger"

it is, of course, a pinhole.

Pinholes

Warning:

I think the tripod was wobbly and I was a bit rushed taking these. All the same, here are the 4 pinhole shots taken on 4x5 black and white film ISO 400 with a 1mm pinhole camera on Wednesday October 6, 2010. I'm not sure how they got so scratched up. Is it common for them to get scratched so easily? I tried to protect them...

Truly fictional photos by other photographers

Andreas Gursky, 2006

This image is unbelievable. I don't even know what it is or how it was taken with a camera.

Andreas Gursky 1997

Gursky's images draw out dimensions. He stretches images so that you feel like you are entering such an incredibly large space that you really can't believe it!

Here, Leibovitz shows through color and content who the white stripes are. We know the stripes would never actually do that, but here they are doing it.

Annie Leibovitz 1991

We see a place that is unbelievable. How and why would anybody be there?!

Helmut Newton (i couldn't find which year)

The photographer could not let that happen.

Helmut Newton (again, I couldn't find the year)

these images are so ridiculous that they're hilarious. I can imagine a photographer being so into the shoot that he shoots while running and jumping, but this is practically the scene in Austin Powers.

Henri Cartier-Bresson, 1954

Kids with booze. And the look on his face!

(I couldn't find the year)

First I wondered why these men were looking at a wall, then why they were sniffing poles, then I wondered what was so interesting on the other side of the screen. I would laugh out loud if i saw a group of people staring at a screen in real life.
