Erin Dorbin "Kalamazoo in Photos" book launch/show, MI, US
Don’t miss the book launch/exhbit for Erin Dorbin‘s new book, Kalamazoo in Photos: A Photographic Catalogue of Kalamazoo’s Most Unique Places. The event is 5–9pm, Friday, 7 Sept., 2007 at the Art Cons Gallery in the Park Trades Center, Kalamazoo, MI, US.
There’s a larger, more readable version of the announcement here.
About the book, Dorbin says:
This sixty-eight-page photo book focuses on the Kalamazoo region. It showcases the many local spaces I have visited with my camera over the past few years. I have features on bowling alleys, motels, and other unique landmarks in Kalamazoo County. However, you don’t have to be a resident of the area to appreciate the book. In fact, Americans nationwide can enjoy this collection that details the shift from places rich with character to that are visually uninteresting.
I used a number of cameras in the creation of this photographic collection including the Holga, Mamiya C220, Yashica Mat, Brownie Hawkeye Flash, Canon Rebel G 35mm SLR, Hasselblad and Diana toy camera. The book includes a camera index in the back to show the reader which camera was used to take each image.
It’s 7 × 7 inches, full color, softcover, and costs US $20.
Camp Obscura pinhole photography workshop, NM, US
Check out the Camp Obscura pinhole photography workshop led by Jackie Mathey:
- Construct your own 4×5 super wide pinhole camera.
- Expose images using black and white photographic paper and film.
- Develop your own images.
- Quick viewing with digitally scanned images.
- Craft your images into works of art with the cyanotype printing process.
- Create a camera obscura and experience what it is like to be inside a camera!
Each camp is held at the historic home of Olive Rush, currently the Friends Meeting Hall at 630 Canyon Road, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The space is a beautiful adobe home with a rambling back yard situated about half way up Canyon Road offering a plethora of image making options for the pinhole photographer.
In this beautiful small group setting we will build our 4×5 super wide pinhole cameras and get a hands on approach to the geometry of photography. As we experience the camera obscura first hand we gain an intimate understand of the way light moves and images are revealed. We will expose and develop images, made with black and white photographic film and paper, while exploring unique locations. Negatives will be digitally scanned for quick viewing while our printing will be done in the alternative process of cyanotype. As a group we will create a short pinhole animation that will be digitized onto a disc for each participant along with scans of their images.
Join us for adventures in pinhole photography and the camera obscura and explore the history, art and techniques of this beautiful and intuitive process in its simplest and most rewarding form.
The workshop runs nights & weekends 21–28 September, 2007, at Friends Meeting Hall, Santa Fe, NM, US.

Project Basho’s Fall 2007 workshop/class schedule announced, PA, US
Philadephia’s Project Basho have announced their Fall 2007 class and workshop schedule:
Fall Classes and New Workshops
We would like to let you know that the fall schedule for photography classes and workshops at Project Basho has been finalized and is posted on our website. We have exciting workshops coming this fall. As usual, we are offering beginner and intermediate black and white classes along with an introductory color class. These classes are very small with a lot of feedback from instructors and are very structured with ongoing assignments. We also offer an afterschool class for teenagers.
In addition to our regular workshops like an introduction to large format photography and palladium printing, we are featuring some exciting programs this fall. We are inviting Shelby Lee Adams again but this time for a Location Lighting workshop where participants will learn the intricacy of lighting with the mixture of natural and artificial light. This use of lighting is considered to be essential for today’s editorial and commercial photographers. Shelby will deconstruct other notable photographers’ lighting techniques and walk you through the process making it approachable.
We are offering Creating a Photographer’s Artist Book by Olivia Antsis. If you have ever had a desire to create a one-of-kind book of your photographs and learn the basics of bookbinding, this workshop is for you. Photographers will learn how to use their photographs to make compelling visual narratives.
In October Craig Barber will lead Cultural Landscape, the workshop which will expand your understanding of landscape photography. He will explore how photographers portray cultural impact on the environment and also look at how the photographer’s own culture affects their vision.
In November, we are inviting Kerik Kouklis to offer a One-day Gum over Platinum Printing workshop as well as another Wet-Plate Collodion workshop. Kerik covers these historical processes in a friendly and approachable manner and his workshops have been very well received in the past.
Kevin Martini-Fuller will be offering an Introduction to Studio Lighting as well as Nude: Form and Light and Carbon Printing.
Last but not the least, there are still a couple of more summer workshops scheduled and some more opening left: Introduction to Studio Lighting workshop by Kevin Martini-Fuller and Gum Bichromate workshop by Scott McMahon.
Lecture Series Starting This Fall
Our first lecture series in May with Shelby Lee Adams was a great success and we are looking forward to more occasions like this. When we finish our new multi-purpose room, we will be bringing a lecture series to the Philadelphia photography community.
We are scheduling one lecture a month this fall. The first one will be by Shelby Lee Adams again in September. We are working closely with The University of the Arts and hope to run Shelby’s lecture in a larger space at UArts.
In October, we are inviting Craig J. Barber, and he is going to share his work and his latest book. This will be his first lecture in Philadelphia. In November, Kerik Kouklis is scheduled to join us.
A Gallery Space Opens This Fall
As you know, we have been working on the second phase of construction, and we will soon finish the space. Starting in October, we will be showing photographs on our walls.
The main gallery room is 600 sq ft with a 14ft ceiling and unique architectural details. The gallery also extends to a 40′ long hallway in the studio. That is over 100 liner ft. space for hanging photographs. We will be slowly and thoughtfully developing a series of photography shows which are visually stimulating as well as thought-provoking.
Tintype Portraiture Session During POST
October is the time for the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours. It is a great occasion where many artists’ studios will be open to public. As an artist-run organization, Project Basho is happy to be part of this unique annual event.
In order to provide an occasion for raising awareness and appreciation of historical photographic processes, we are having tintype portraiture sessions during POST. Tintypes have peculiar qualities which are difficult to reproduce with other technologies. For a small fee, you can have a one-of-a-kind tintype photograph made of you while you are visiting the studio. We will be running the sessions on both Saturday and Sunday. You are also more than welcome to come by to see how the process is done.
More Exciting Projects
We are working on a couple of other exciting projects right now. They have something to do with the use of our gallery space both physically and online. We hope to be able to make an announcement by the end of summer, so stay tuned with our latest development at Project Basho.
