Presenting The Cuboid Selectascope

by EveNSteve

After quite a while working with my Cuboid camera I asked Matt Abelson of Abelson Scopeworks if a turret with 6 scopes would be possible to retrofit to my Cuboid while maintaining the ultra wide 25mm focal length… all I have to say is that it is spot on for my artworks and damn does it look nice!!

With the custom SELECTASCOPE option I have the choice of F196 – F32 with a Zone Plate at F45! The varying degree of sharpness and the option of overlaying different levels of sharpness on the same negative through multiple exposure is a creative A-Bomb…. ART Bomb that is!

Vivian Maier and What Can Happen After You Die

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 Tree that Crushed the Revolution

by EveNSteve

After last nights wind storm the FR is forced to go it slow for a bit as we wait for downed trees to be cleared, power restored and high speed cable activated again. In the mean time I will focus on “The Photographer’s Coffee Break”, the book and process some more film from my New Orleans shoot.

UPDATE: We’re back online and the heat is one so Viva la Revolution!!
