Vivian Maier and What Can Happen After You Die

January 22, 2011 by figitalrevolution

http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com/

Amazing photography … I, for one, am sad that she did not get recognition for her work while she was alive- but that may have been her choice. This recognition after death seems to happen to a fair number of artists but I am not so much in love with the idea of photographic necrophilia. Click on the link below to listen to a relevant article I posted in 2009 about archiving film…

And a movie recommendation also on the topic of what happens to your life’s work after you die, and also disturbing: The Art of The Steal… this is an amazing movie about the fate of the incredible Barnes Foundation collection and it  is a must watch.

The Bare Bones Bag Traveler: BBB-T

January 18, 2011 by figitalrevolution

Tigger and the BBB-T

After a lot of testing and listening to user feedback I am pleased to announce the new Bare Bones Bag Traveler! Built on the same time-tested materials and excellence in craftmanship as the original BBB, the Bare Bones Bag Traveler (BBB-T) takes this unique camera bag to new heights.

Error
This video doesn’t exist

All orders placed before February 1st, 2011 and that use the discount code: BBBTDISC  will receive a 10% discount on the purchase of the BBB-T.

For more information on the BBB-T please click here.

UPDATE January 19, 2011… a few people have asked about putting an iPad or small laptop in the BBB-T… my Mac Air 11″ screen fits in the back pocket or inside but this makes using the bag with a camera somewhat difficult… a lot depends on the size of the camera- an EP2 with one lens on the camera no problem, a multi lens Nikon DSLR problem. The BBB-T is really a shooters bag/ shooters travel bag… I usually put my laptop in a different bag for travel as cords and extra stuff make it something I do not want to carry all day, especially while shooting. The biggest issue is that the flat board inflexible like nature of the iPad or a laptop makes the bag stiff and prevents it from moulding to your body as it will with only camera gear inside.

Goodnight Kodachrome: 1935-2010

December 30, 2010 by figitalrevolution

Click on the audio play button to listen to this bed time story read by Eve  Schaub… but first be sure to get a glass of warm milk. Today is the last day to get Kodachrome processed.

Goodnight Kodachrome


In the big yellow room

There was a camera

and a classic film

and a picture of Paul Simon jumping over the moon.


Goodnight Kodachrome

Goodnight moon

Goodnight slide show in the living room


Goodnight 25

Goodnight 64

Goodnight dynamic range eight stops more


Goodnight Dwayne’s

Goodnight flare

Goodnight little Afghan girl’s haunting stare


Goodnight mail order

Goodnight rush

And goodnight to Steve McCurry whispering “hush”


Goodnight plastic carousel

Goodnight transparencies rare

Goodnight glorious old color film… everywhere.
