As discussed on an earlier postingI would like to, put together a group show of type 55 work.
So far i have put together 5 exposures all taken around the village of Ploeuc sur Lie in bretagne france.I hope to expand this to a series of 10 images as I will spend 5 weeks there between this and the end of august.
With this in mind I am now throwing my gaze outward to the world to see who would like to join me in putting an exhibition of type 55's together!!
The Idea would be to send some rough scans for consideration/evaluation,then if chosen the neg could be forwarded to me here in dublin for high res scanning and printing.
I would hope then to put together a small brochure (blurb softback)and try to secure a venue here in dublin for november or early december.
International participants could also try to get a venue to travel the resultant show in their own country
What do you think!!
There is no set brief for this expo project save that of the beauty of the object photographed,and of the photograph.
Above is shot of Ian which i photographed for a a cd case see his work here

ReplyDeletethis is really great idea David. good luck
the camera is easy getting your hands on some film is the tricky thing as it has been discontinued 2 or 3 years now!!(see the link on the page at type 55)
ReplyDeleteif you want to shoot 4x5 just call!! no problem!if we can get some type 55 all the better!!
that's the fact. i was thinking about Impossible Project before but i see it won't be so easy ;)
ReplyDeletecheers David

ReplyDeleteheh...sure thing ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Dave, I would comment sooner just having serious troubles with my computer lately. You can count on me with this project surely. can't wait to it actually!
ReplyDeleteAs I already mention I know few great artists who will be interested in participation surely. I will just direct them in here though. :)

These are superfantastic and busy traffic sources for searching on old school equipment.
They're all photographers dealing with photographers, no moneymakers nor scamers I met so far.
Oh, free to use any of my shots in here Dave. They can be redirected or downloaded from my ArtLimited easily: http://vladimirlongauer.photography.artlimited.net
I'm experiencing troubles with posting in here as well by the way, not sure what the problem is. Well, my jurassic laptop is whole mess anyways..
Talk soon,
Vlad
Thanks to Vladimir, I visit this place and I'm very interested in participating in your project. Surely,if you decide to take any of my P55 shots.
ReplyDeletehey Piotr,glad you have come along,would be delighted to see some of your p55 work if you can direct me to it.

following Vlad`s sugestion I was directed to Your site. He recommended me your project and asked to contact you concerning 55s.
ReplyDeletehttp://voal.pl/index.php?user=1811 here are some of my polas I posted, , have more and probably will have more since im plannning a project.

Me too, good idea for an exhibition-
ReplyDeleteVlad pointed me to your site, very good-
I'm in Dublin too, some of my T55's can be seen here-
http://josephburns.ie/gallery.php?searchterm=t55
Must shoot some more...
hi Joseph glad you have joined us here,
ReplyDeleteplease send an email so we can continue this conversation.
and make some plans!
Hi David, Vlad sent me this way. Would love to join in the exhibition. My only issue would be sending the negs (I just could never risk it in the post). I can either hi-res scan them myself, or contact print them, or if you are looking for enlargements, I have a lab that can do that here (I am based in Brussels). If that is OK with you, the I am up for it. If that is Ok, I can send you some files...how many images are you looking for per person? Rgds, Kal
ReplyDeletethats cool kal you can send me the best shots you have .(the ones that you feel embody the spirit of t55 for you)
ReplyDeleteat a reasonable res ,
iwill be in brussels later in sept to do a pick up of files or negs whicever you prefer
glad to see this is gathering some momentum now
my direct email is dmon@me.com
david
Though I don't have anything to contribute, I learned about this exhibition through Vlad (thanks Vlad!). I'm sharing the information with my friends over at filmwasters.com
ReplyDeleteI think they'd be very interested to know about this!
Happy to participate, if any of my work considered suitable:

ReplyDeletethanks also Kuroneku your work seem to sit very well with my aspirations for this show.
I would like to ask anybody wishing to participate to mail me direct at dmon@me.com with low res scans of pics they would like to include.
