Alice Austen

2009-09-13T22:38:00.006-04:00

So, I'm doing a project on Historic House Museums in NYC, and decided to check out the Alice Austen House on SI. Alice Austen was a pretty amazing documentary-style photographer in the 1880s, she was not a professional, but she was simply fascinated by photography, and in her lifetime created about 8,000 glass plate images. The museum showcases some of her prized possessions, like her cameras, and some of her many images. It also uses a couple of the rooms as contemporary photography gallery space. It was really interesting and different, definitely worth checking out, if you have time to get to Staten Island. http://www.aliceausten.org/

And there is also a HUGE retrospective show of Francis Bacon, which I was really blown away by.

A Week From Today!

2009-04-24T13:41:00.002-04:00

Get excited guys it's almost here. A few things:

1. The extra $20 everyone is paying was NOT added by us and it is NOT the money for the beer or wine.

James, Enis, and I (I believe) will be fronting the money for the Beer and Wine out of pocket and hoping we will make it back from raffle ticket sales.

The Extra $20 everyone is paying was added by Red Bull to provide us with bartenders to serve the beer and wine (This is a law there has to be bartenders serving the alcohol and they have to be Red Bull Employees).

2. James and I met with Red Bull and Anchor Bar Last Night and everything is set and ready to go!

Red bull is very excited to host the show. We have the space from 9am - 7pm Friday, May 1st to set up the show. Please make sure you get there with enough time hang and light your work. BE PREPARED FOR EVERYTHING TO GO WRONG, then you will be amped when things go smoothly.

The show has to be taken down by 11pm may 2nd. It shouldn't take that long to break down so we can start in the afternoon or evening.

The event is all ages. Everyone over 21 will receive a wrist band. As people leave they can go to Anchor Bar (about 4 blocks away we walked it last night it was about 2 mins) they will receive a free drink coupon at the door if they have a bracelet from red bull. The coupon is good for one FREE vodka red bull!

There will be raffle tickets sold at the show to win prizes. The winners will be announced at midnight at Anchor Bar.

The guys at Anchor Bar were really cool and they are pumped to host an after party. They have some cool DJs there and the place is pretty cool.

3. Selling Work @ The Show

Please E-Mail me Your name, The Title of Your Series, and The title of each individual image (if you would like to have them sold individually), and a price (if you want to sell them) for each image or for the entire series.

I will give you numbered dots to place next to the images and there will be a printout with the info on each image and the price (if you want to sell them). You will get one number per image.

Send Price Sheet Info to Joseph.Caraccio@gmail.com

*If I don't receive an email from you by Wednesday evening your work will not be on the price sheet.

I found this pretty awesome artist, Marcus Payzont, while googling the other day. He makes illustrations, that I think are different from a lot of stuff I've seen, I know there are a lot of you who are interested in illustration so check out some of his work:

Here's what he has to say about his work:

"My current work explores the relationship between objects and places which are commonly overlooked or very commonplace. By using these items and pairing them together I hope to generate a commentary that transcends the normalcy of the objects. My work also deals with the relationships between drawing and painting, real and abstract, natural and artificial, and translating the three dimensional onto a two dimensional surface. The tension created by these relationships aids in the process and final product of every piece."

This project has given me also the opportunity to meet some of the people whose work I really admire in the Fashion Industry.

Searching for Sonny

2009-03-30T16:13:00.010-04:00

this is the first feature film to be shoot on a DSLR

website

film entirely was recorded with 5D mark ii.

5D mark ii has some disadvantages such as non autofocus and non manuel exposure control while recording.

For exposure control they used old nikon f mount adaptor to EOS mount for old nikon 50mm lens to be able to have the aperture control;

and they used special gear goes around the focusing ring that controls the focus without touching the camera. because it is very hard to focus and compose the scene at the same time; one person was in charge of focusing with the remote.

I found a lot of awesome stuff at printed matter, but this book in particular was what I really found interesting. I ended up buying it for a friend.

Do you speculate?

2009-03-30T11:35:00.004-04:00

So I took pictures of a bunch of books at Printed Matter, but in last 10 minutes I was there I saw this:

It is just a simple white book, nothing fancy, but really effective. Each page has one image with one tagline. It's about seeing people and asking questions about them, to yourself. I do this all the time when I'm walking around. Here's a few images from the inside of the book:

(Does he have any regrets?)

(Who is he talking to? ) (Does he do this everyday?)

At the end there are no images just blank boxes with questions, I thought it was a really interesting and great way to end the book, here's the beginning of the end:

I loved this book, and picked it up to buy it. It was $52, I loved it, but not $52 dollars worth. Oh well. Printed Matter was awesome though, will definitely be going back there.

Printed Matter

2009-03-27T14:47:00.003-04:00

So yesterday I found this one book called Artoons. I really loved this little book because of It's size. Inside the book it had all little cartoons, very small, very detailed. You had to look really close to see what was going on in the image.

Also Eve found this other book that had collage work. Something I'm working with right now, so it was nice to see some interesting examples.

Printed Matter

2009-03-27T11:26:00.002-04:00

I love this book by Mie Yim. It's called the ABC Of Sex and it's quite self explanatory. The book is constructed out of cardboard, much like a childrens book would be.

F is for Fetish. G is for Gangbang!

The images are really fun, and a little dirty...ok very dirty.

Print Matters

2009-03-27T10:21:00.002-04:00

I took a picture of a book I really liked and I can't find it on my phone now. Which pisses me off because I don't remember the name of the photographer.

His book had a Polaroid on one side of the page and then the blown up picture on the other side. It was pretty nifty. But the book was just layed out very cleanly. It was black, hard cover with large white text every few images to title the series. I was really into it. I'll have to go back now to see who it was.

Also, Print Matters has a lot of books of dick pictures. I'm not going to lie -- I looked through all of them.

not new work

although i will post some work in the next few days, here is something for fun. Good story, good director, and so far looks pretty beautiful- hopefully won't be disappointing.
