Large Format Photography Australia

="Ray Heath"]Maris, "Well, right down at the microscopic level cyanotypes, Van Dykes, platinotypes, gum bichromates, etc do emerge from the sensitised surfaces of individual substrate fibres", is not really what your bombastic previous post asserts. If my previous post implied t...

"Lachlan717"] Photography is not ink-jet printing, monitor displays, or picture-making done any-which-way, "different" is not "the same". Photographs come into existence via the light sensitivity of the materials of which they are made and as a consequence they claim a...

Visual arts are visual and they should never be more than that. As long as the quality is discernible on a fine level and it is an artist original, who gives a shib how it was made? It is possible to mount a case in the visual arts that the "arts process" takes place in the mind rather th...

Maris, I almost follow what you posted, and reluctantly agree to some of it, but your last sentence is just too confrontational. How can you assert that any image not created and presented "in" a light sensitive surface is "intellect-free"? Secondly; By your definiton am I to as...

Large Format Photography Australia is a special place for special photography. There are plenty of other sites to go for intellect-free picture sharing. Let me get this right. As I don't print via darkroom, you're saying that I'm intellect-free? And/or that my PHOTOGRAPHS are intellect-free? I real...

Oh my! What a picture. The Scheimpflug condition delivers wonders. It reminds me of this famous precedent from Saint Ansel http://www.preview-art.com/previews/11-2010/bg/Hartman_Adams-Roots.jpg ADAMS, ANSEL (1902-1984) "Roots, Foster Gardens, Honolulu, Hawaii." Silver print, 7 1/4x5 3/4 in...

What about someone making digital negatives to use for contact printing? Is that an art/not art/art scenario? Don't forget that, before negatives as we know them, there were dry plates. Before that, myriad ways to do wet plates. Even with film, there was ortho before pan. Does than mean that we dis...

Maris , Printed on epson gloss using an epson k3 inkjet. I hate not having full control over the printing process alas I am poor and dont own my own printer so it was done at a lab, though Martin @ brisbane digital images was nice enough to put up with my controlling shiz and even let me finalise t...
