NYC photos II

More photos from New York. I haven't done anything to these photos, it's all cheap poundland colour film and strange goings on in developing. The sunny weather worked better with the colour film than the b&w, very interesting.

NYC photos

I was on a study trip to NYC last week, visiting studios, graphic designers, photographers and animators. We met some really lovely people, like Buck TV, 2x4, Dexter Sinister, Hilary Greenbaum and Jeff Mermelstein. And then also did a lot of running around and eating.

Took some photos with my fantastic Nikkormat (heirloom. Loom of heir. Loom!) and these are the scanned negatives. They came out all sepia, I'll be working with them in the lab at a later time and I'm sure they'll come out very differently then. Colour negs to come, when I've found someone to process them.

World meets world

When worlds collide. 

Brief: find two worlds, examine, mix, compare, squish. Have fun. What happens?

Developed some old friends today at our darkroom induction. I can't wait until I can bring my cameras over after the holidays, much time will be spent in the dark with the dim lights and potent smells then. It's a lovely big ol' room with nooks and corridors and MACHINERY. Par example: they've got a machine that eats your photopaper whole and spits out an image moments later; developed, stopped, fixed and dried. I know part of the fun is acting wave-machine for the wee photos in their bathtubs, appreciate, but technology is also fantastic. (This is how I get around printers too, when printing 50+ A2 images from an inkjet you have loads of time to stare at said printer and think "how is this possible?", had I lived in lesser developed times and a time-traveller had, perplexingly, showed me the magic of printing, I too would have believed in God, mistakingly.)

THIS IS A NIGHT OF GIF, EXPECT TO BE UPDATED.
