Color from B&W: info for your amusement and consideration

The Empire that was Russia. Great collection of early color work. Here is a nice Boston.com article about that Russian photographer.

A very long thread in the Large Format Photography forum with some great information on the process. You may have to be a member to see the photos. You an easily join for free.

A French blog about the topic featuring lots of examples.

Early Technicolor processes worked in a similar way only using 2 color filters.

A PDF manual for an old camera that captures color this way.

A very nerdy write up on color filter arrays for digital cameras. It explains how color is made from a monochromatic sensor.

Another French site on the process.

Part of a book describing early color photographic processes. More on early color processes.

Millennials: A Portrait of Generation Next

January 9 - February 5, reception Friday, January 13, 6-8pm. The PR person already has the postcard made up and sent to the printer. The gallery will cover the reception cost.
Once I get the images via email, I will combine them into one zipped folder and send them to whoever wants to put together a website or FB page.

Millennials: A Portrait of Generation Next

These works endeavor to identify and explore the characteristics of Generation Y: people ranging from age 18 to 29. These Millennial artists used photography to explore and illustrate facets of personal and generational identity including the sexuality, technology, morality, and mentality of the Millennial Generation.
Collectively, these images construct a body of humanity, visualizing more than the face of one, but the many faces of an entire generation.

Things to turn in by Friday December 16th at 2:30

  • Diptychs
  • 2 Landscape and Reclamation Prints
  • close up shots - even just the neg is fine
  • 2 images for the Millenials show. Email me scans for use with publicity.
  • At least 4 other prints (there were multiple weeks were one print was due such as a print demonstrating shift, etc...)

  • 2 framed Millenials prints due by Friday, December 16th at 2:30pm.

EXTRA CREDIT OPPURTUNITY - email me your cleaned up color image (film to be put in my office mail box by Friday @7). This is no longer a mandatory assignment.

Times I will be around during Final Exams Week

Wednesday, December 14th from 8:00-10:00am.

Thursday, December 15th from 12:30-2:30.

Friday, December 16th from 12:30-2:30.

As long as you have turned in your cameras and any other equipment that you have checked out (or received permission to hang on to), then you don't have to attend your final exam session on Wednesday morning. If you forget to turn in your camera or any other equipment that you have checked out, then you must return it during one of these time periods. Your prints for the Millenials exhibit, as well as any other work that you want a grade for, must be turned in by Friday at 2:30. I will be in my office during these times.
