On Sunday afternoon (8/8/10) I attended Brian Taylor’s lecture titled Manipulation in Photography. What a great event it was not only because Brian created a comprehensive educational presentation, but also because he invited audience participation which broadened the experience for all in attendance. Brian made it clear from the outset that when he spoke of manipulation in photography, he was referring to a conscious effort on the part of the photographer to alter or change a photograph. The presentation was given in chronological order beginning with the very first photograph ever made. As he moved through the eras of photographic history in which different mediums were incorporated, Brian pointed out various methods of manipulation that were utilized by photographers of the day. It quickly became obvious that manipulation of one sort or another has always been a part of photography. This was one of those lectures that I’m really glad I did not miss. There was so much in-depth information imparted and so many great images shown (560 images total). I know that I will be harkening back to this experience for a long time. Thank you, Brian, for sharing a bit of your knowledge with us in your open and inviting style. For those of us who attended, you significantly expanded our appreciation and understanding of photographic art. Tracy Valleau of the Imagemakers announced that this lecture was the final one in the public lecture series for 2010. However, Saelon Renkes will be giving a lecture to CPA and Imagemaker members only, at 2:00 pm on October 2nd. Tracy went on to acknowledge Richard Cannon and Fred Chamberlain for their tireless efforts in setting up the equipment for the lecture series. He also acknowledged Chris Wasserbach and Nancy Budd for getting the publicity out regarding each and every lecture. And finally he acknowledged the great support and work done by Robin Robinson, without whom these events never would have happened. If you were one of the unfortunate few who were unable to attend this lecture, I invite you to check out Brian Taylor’s work at his website: http://www.briantaylorphotography.com/. And please do not miss Brian’s beautiful contribution to CPA’s Fine Print Program this year. Here’s the link: http://www.photography.org/cfpp.php. Submitted by Tracy Morrison Takigawa Design Congratulates Hal Eastman  Dancessence Congratulations to our friend and client, photographer Hal Eastman, as his latest book—Dancessence—continues to earn accolades. Dancessence won gold in the 2010 Summit Creative Awards, an international competition that, this year, included entries from twenty-four countries. The book was a winner in Communication Arts’ prestigious photography competition and was selected to appear in CA’s 2010 Photography Annual. Dancessence won a gold Independent Publisher Book Award (IPPY) and, in addition, was one of 12 books they chose (out of 4000 entries) to honor as a “2010 IPPY Outstanding Book of the Year.” Nearly four years in the making, this project was a study in patience, perfection, and attention to detail. Special thanks to Hemlock Printers for their invaluable assistance. We are honored to have helped Hal realize his vision. Takigawa Design work selected for CA Design Annual  Santa Catalina School view book Santa Catalina School view book makes the grade in Communication Arts’ Design Annual. Juried by a panel of top designers and attracting entries from the USA, Canada, England, and 40 other countries, Communication Arts’ Design Annual competition is the most highly esteemed in the industry. Out of thousands of entries, only 2% of the work entered is accepted. We were, therefore, extremely pleased to learn that the Upper School view book and envelope we designed for Santa Catalina School were chosen to appear in CA’s Design Annual 51. It will be published this September. Earning our clients’ trust and getting the opportunity to give them our best work is extremely gratifying. We have to admit, though—the recognition and prestige of being a CA Design Annual selection is quite nice too. We are honored. You are cordially invited to the opening reception of my

Director Nancy Budd and panelists Mid-twentieth century master photographer, Wynn Bullock, is best known for his evocative black and white images. Early in the 1960’s, Bullock began creating color photographs of light. Hampered by the limitations of color printing at that time, he was unable to make stable, exhibit-quality prints of these abstract images before his death. This is the first solo exhibit of the high-quality archival prints that have been produced from Bullock’s original slides, using the superior color reproduction processes available today. Photo Credits: Jack Wasserbach Brian TaylorThe Art of Getting LostArtist Reception Friday, May 14, 6-9pmMay 14 – June 30, 2010Gallery 291 This work portrays certain walks Brian takes in search of peace in the West. Rather than portraying the most sweeping or spectacular views of a landscape, Brian reveals an authentic “essence” of place-often from a quiet vantage point. The images are produced using the beautiful 19th century Gum Bichromate process. Each print is coated by hand with ”non -silver” photographic emulsions directly onto watercolor paper in multiple exposures of different colors creating a very unique work of art.

The lecture is now on Sunday, June 6th, at Sunset Center Panel discussion: Designing Books As always, the main way to reach an audience with photography is via book sales. Today, instant publishing lives alongside the more traditionally published books, and just as digital has opened up photography, so have Blurb, MyPublisher and iPhoto given all photographers access at a reasonable price to high quality books of their works. But a fine-art book is not a snapshot photo-album. Learn what it takes to produce a book that will look good on any coffee-table, not just your own. |
