Beyond the Frame and Glass: Alternative Print Display Solutions

AudioBlog Logo

In this audio blog I give examples of multiple options for the display of photographic artworks beyond just a frame and glass. Given the current economic crisis, the tightening of clients budgets, and the ever-increasing cost of materials, these alternative print display solutions are a great option to consider for any fine art photographer requiring a modern presentation and an affordable price tag.

The Financial Crisis: How Could it Affect Photography?

Everyone knows that the current global financial crisis is crippling many businesses- but it is possible that the photographic industry as a whole may come out of this painful situation better than it went in! Give a listen.

The Photographic Project

Ever wonder why or how to start a photographic project? Many photographers I know shoot and shoot with the idea that at some point they will edit and a project or maybe even a book will appear!…the tooth fairy may also appear but don’t bet on it. In this audioblog I outline my method for starting a new photographic project along with specific project examples. Give a listen!

The Photographic Purist

I hear this term used alot nowadays… “I’m a purist” or “I never manipulate my images as I want the pure photographic image” – give me a break! This audio blog explores this concept and the damages it is causing to photographers everywhere. Give it a listen. By Stephen Schaub

The Rumors of Paper’s Death Are Greatly Exaggerated

Recorded in response to an article on the Luminous Landscape website by Bernard Languillier which raises many questions, among them: does paper matter? Are paper’s days numbered? Should we paper-huggers, in fact, all just hang it up and go home in the face of a brave-new-world of LCD and Plasma screens?

Custom Camera Accessories and Conversions

S.K.Grimes Interview

Many of the camera systems I have used over the last 2+ decades have been either custom made or modifications to older systems to “fit” newer capture devices. If the option of custom lens mounts, custom lens caps and complete from the ground up camera systems is new to you then give a listen to this audio blog (click on the AUDIO logo) recorded December 2007 with Adam Dau of S.K. Grimes

I have also posted (below) an image of my Hexomniscope Camera by Abelson Scope Works with its newest custom accessories…custom made lens caps (or perhaps I should say Pinhole Caps) and .1 spacer rings to allow different controlled positions for the pinhole made for me by Matt Abelson of Abelson Scope Works. For me and my works the OPTION of custom configurations and accessories is essential as I find the out of the box systems and accessories most companies offer miss the mark time after time.

Also, stay tuned for an exciting audio interview posted early next week with Matt Abelson of Abelson Scope Works.
