Student’s Photographs Selected for Pingyao International Photography Festival
Two of student Adam Dexter’s photos were selected, by jury, to show in the 2009 Pingyao International Photography Festival in Pingyao, China. The festival is China’s oldest and largest photography festival. Moment and Galaxy were two of the 100 images that were selected for the festival out of a total 450 entries. Moment was also one of 45 images chosen from over 800 entries in the 2009 DCist Exposed photography show hosted by the Flashpoint art gallery, earlier this year. Check out the full Hidden Galaxy series and other work at Adam Dexter’s Photography site.

Alright, so today has been a good day (and I didn’t even seen 3 red cars in a row).

It’s a gorgeous day weatherwise, I busted out some sweet designs, made a pretty decent lunch. The place I work is going to pick up some really sick clients, so that means I’ll be working on some really awesome projects AND I just found out two of my images were chosen to show in Pingyao, China for the 2009 International Photography Festival. Which is apparently the “oldest and largest photography exhibition in China,” according to this tourism site. (Here are some cool pictures from last years show on a blog I found via google.)

So, if you happen to be around Pingyao between September 19th—26th, take some pictures for me, I’d love to see the show and my work there!

Oh, and here are the two images that were chosen (out of 450, of 100 others):

I decided this design is old. A new blog (and site) is coming soon. Look out.

Check it out! I got a headline on AU’s SOC page for my Exposed entry.

So, a great way to start the new year? Getting chosen for a show! Sweet- Check out DCist Exposed Feb 20 - Mar 7th at Flashpoint-

Here is the post from my main blog (cross-post)

So I guess one of my photos was chosen for DCist Exposed 2009 Show at Flashpoint. Cool. Join me February 20th to March 7th- the other winners look great too. I’m honored.

Here’s my winning shot.

Alright- so I haven’t posted on here in forever! But, this semester I’m taking photo again- we have to shoot the equivalent of 2 rolls a week and we have tons of mini-assignments that involve experimenting with alternative process, films, papers, etc- so look out for a some new posts soon. Maybe even a site redesign as well…

What’s going on at Unsaleable.com? I just got a somewhat cryptic email from them about a new site called Polapremium - it says it’s “The New Home Of Instant Photography.” Could it be?! I knew unsaleable was obsessed with Polaroid and had some neat connections with different suppliers, but this could be amazing. We’ll just have to wait, you can check the countdown here. Right now it reads at about 633,730 seconds, which is about 10,562 minutes or 176.03 hours or 7.3 days - which puts it at about Nov 27th, 2008 - so this should be cool. Can’t wait.

EDIT: yea, my original math did suck- I think I missed a digit or something- it should be right now.

Check it out- need some storage? BH Photo is currently offering a $70 mail in rebate on a Lexar 4GB UDMA 300x CompactFlash Card. Sick Deal. To get it click below

So I’ve hear about, read about it, seen it and even downloaded a version of it. But I’ve never actually tried using CHDK (Canon Hacking Developers Kit). Now it’s time to get in and start playing around. Coming later this week soon, I’ll show you all about my experience and resulting fun with CHDK. So Stay tuned!

So I was schmoozing through my inbox today and saw a new one from Photojojo. Looks like Jenelle Norris has posted her entire book about how to manipulate 600 and Spectra Polaroid… FO’ FREE! She even tell you how to manipulate 600 film like SX-70. It even has a nifty diagram of the anatomy of a Polaroid film pack. I’m pretty stoked and am looking forward to trying out her various methods. You should definitely take a look at the book:
