Mirella Ricciardi

Выставка в Michael Hoppen Gallery:

Mirella Ricciardi’s African pictures have the integrity of spontaneous, intuitive documents made with the deep love of someone who knew and understood their subject. There is nothing voyeuristic here, no sense of exploitation of the exotic, rather a sense of Mirella’s tender, familial engagement, and her considerable respect for the inherent nobility of what was before her lens.

The small selection of portraits made in 1968 and now on exhibition – printed in platinum in a powerful large format – represents just one facet of a wide-ranging reportage that was published nearly forty years ago as a book, aptly titled Vanishing Africa. The photographer had close connections with Kenya and a privileged access to the peoples of the Turkana and Masai tribes. She recognised the vulnerability of the land, the people and the animals suspended together in a state of grace that was magical, but doomed. Mirella knew she must fulfil her unique opportunity to make a record of this fugitive moment and she did so with energy and passion. By the turn of the millennium her book seemed long forgotten and her pictures were too little known. Four decades on from their making, and with our painful awareness of the obliteration of the way of life that they depict, these images take on an extra layer of poignancy as elegies for a lost Eden and as fine metaphors for all that we are in danger of destroying on our planet.

Mirella Ricciardi worked on instinct. These pictures reveal the intelligence and sensitivity of that instinct.

Polaroid No More?

Polaroid recently announced that it is reducing the amount of instant film it produces. The intention is to create enough film to last through 2009 and license the technology to other manufacturers after that. This comes on the heels of Polaroid's departure from film instant cameras. Polaroid wishes to concentrate on its digital endeavors but for a company that is synonymous with instant film, and has already declared bankruptcy once, is this a death knell? Also, what will this mean for the enthusiasts around the world who love working with transfers and lifts?

Polaroid to Exit Instant Film as Demand Goes Digital (Update2)

By Courtney Dentch

Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Polaroid Corp., the company that pioneered instant photography, is exiting the film business and closing plants in the U.S., Mexico and the Netherlands as it focuses on digital photography and flat-panel televisions.

Polaroid, founded by Harvard University dropout Edwin Land in 1937 and bought out by Petters Group Worldwide three years ago, will make enough instant film to last into 2009. It plans to license the technology to third-party companies for diehard customers. Polaroid stopped making instant cameras for commercial use in 2006 and halted production of consumer models last year.

``We're trying to help what have been extremely loyal Polaroid customers to make our film categories last as long as we can,'' Tom Beaudoin, chief operating officer of the Concord, Massachusetts- based company, said in an interview today. ``The most popular film is the one everyone recognizes. It's the 600 series with the white border that you see in advertisements. It's become an icon.''

Polaroid made protective glasses and goggles for the U.S. military during World War II and sold the first instant camera in 1948, raking in $5 million in sales in the first year, according to the company's Web site.

Land, who left Harvard just months before graduation in 1932 to establish the company, held more U.S. patents than anyone except Thomas Edison, including one for the first synthetic polarizer. Land kept Polaroid innovative with inventions such as 3-D film.

`Swinger'

Polaroid introduced the $20 Swinger in 1965 and in 1972 Sir Laurence Olivier became the spokesman for the SX-70 camera in a series of TV and radio ads. During the late 1970s, the Polaroid OneStep camera was the best-selling camera of any type.

In the 1960s and early 1970s, the stock was among a group of companies known as the ``Nifty 50'' for their consistent growth records, continual dividend raises and high price-to- earnings ratios.

Polaroid will close large-format film facilities in Norwood and Waltham, Massachusetts, and cut 150 jobs by the end of the quarter, Beaudoin said. A professional-grade film factory in Mexico and a site in the Netherlands that makes consumer film packs also are slated to close this year, slashing about 300 jobs, Beaudoin said. The story was first reported in the Boston Globe today.

Last month, Polaroid unveiled a line of Zink printers that can develop wallet-sized photos from digital cameras in 60 seconds. The company plans to roll out larger-format printers in coming years, Beaudoin said. Polaroid also makes DVD players, TVs and other electronics, which brings in about $1 billion in annual sales, he said.

Sales Decline

``Our main product line was in a technologically driven decline,'' Beaudoin said. ``The Zink printers will complete the transformation from analog instant to digital instant.''

The company filed for bankruptcy in October 2001 after losing money for three straight quarters as customers moved to digital cameras. Sales fell from a peak of $2.3 billion in 1994 to $752.7 million in 2003 amid increased demand for digital cameras.

JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s private equity unit, One Equity Partners LLC, in 2002 purchased a 53 percent stake in then- bankrupt Polaroid for $56 million. Closely held Petters began licensing Polaroid's consumer electronic products in 2002 and bought the company in 2005 for $426 million.

У меня вот зародился вопрос. Недавно я видела документальный фильм про Ньютона, и заметила, что прежде, чем начать съемку, он выстраивал кадр, и делал пробный снимок на паларойд, потом расскладывал вокруг себя отпечатки и выберал нужный ракурс, позу и т.д. Интересно, а сейчас такая практика сохранилась, или цифра полностью вытиснила паларойд ?

Polaroid "похоронила" мгновенное фото

Polaroid "похоронила" мгновенное фото

Несмотря на то, что редкие энтузиасты до сих пор любят побаловаться пленочными фотоаппаратами, в настоящее время уже никто не может отрицать полной победы цифровой фотографии. На фоне сложившейся ситуации решение легендарной компании Polaroid о прекращении производства фотоплёнок для известной в своё время технологии моментального фото выглядит вполне естественным.

Производитель закрывает заводы в Массачусетсе (США), Мексике и Голландии. Отметим, что Polaroid не занимается выпуском фотокамер, использующих технологию моментальных снимков, уже около года.

Впрочем, компания не собирается прекращать своё существование. Теперь она сосредоточит все свои усилия на разработке портативных фотопринтеров для мобильных телефонов, а также цифровых камер.

Президент компании Том Бодуан (Tom Beaudoin) амбициозно заявил, что Polaroid попытается повторить успех технологии моментальных снимков в сфере цифровой фотографии.

Компания имеет внушительные запасы фотоплёнки, которых, по словам её представителей, должно хватить до 2009 года. Кроме того, она надеется продать право на выпуск расходных материалов для «полароидов» какой-нибудь другой компании, что даст возможность энтузиастам и далее ностальгировать по былым временам.

Напоследок вкратце пройдемся по страницам истории. Компания Polaroid была основана в 1937 году и производила поляризованные линзы, которые использовались тогда для научных целей. Первые фотокамеры Polaroid появились в 1948 году.

Пик популярности "полароидов" наблюдался в 1991 году. В тот период объемы продаж фотокамер и пленки для моментальных снимков достигли почти 3 млрд. долларов. Однако с приходом цифровой фотографии компания не успела гибко перестроить свой бизнес и в 2001 году оказалась банкротом. Впоследствии Polaroid была куплена американской компанией Petters Group Worldwide, что позволило бренду вновь «ожить».



Так ли удобно делать контрольные снимки на полароид как вам кажется? Может быть не стоит бояться применять для этой цели, какую-нибудь подходящую по формату цифровую камеру с большим экраном или ноутбук?

Хотя кому-то, конечно, психологически ближе перебирать варианты, отпечатанные на бумаге, но суть процесса отбора от того, на бумаге или на экране выбирать вариант построения кадра не сильно изменяется. Ведь, как полароидовские снимки, так и цифровые контрольки, будут лишь первым приближением того, что вы хотите снять на основную камеру. ;)

Ferrotype Bon Ton View Box

Изображение

Introduced in the 1870s, the Scovill Ferrotype Bon-Ton View Box is a rare mahogany camera for making 4 tintypes on a 5x7 plate. Unlike the majority of multiple lens cameras, the Bon Ton View Box does not have a large multiplying back for making more than four "gem" images.

…But for me, collecting takes on a deeper meaning than simply owning the camera and knowing the specifications. To understand a camera's history, manufacturer, owner, and other tantalizing tidbits adds depth and meaning to a collection. Before the camera arrived, I asked the seller about the provenance. Much to my surprise, the seller related a story of where the camera was found 40 years ago — in a "one-holer" outhouse in Etna, Maine!

While waiting for the camera to arrive, I began to wonder if it acquired a new "personality" after unceremoniously residing in the most "privy" of all places. However the Scovill arrived in a matter of days and I would see for myself. As layers of bubble-wrap were carefully removed, brief glimpses of four lenses could be seen, then polished wood, then � brown residue � uh oh � "sniff" ... the camera smells. Yikes!

Literally holding my breath, a tentative but not to close examination, allayed my fears. I gazed upon layers of collodion residue that dripped from who knows how many plateholders onto the rear standard. A great sign because I consider collodion stains a badge of honor that authenticates a camera's age. Another positive sign was the thicker, extended wood shelf beneath the ground glass, another indicator that the camera was built strictly for a "wet" process. And fortunately, it was the musty odor of 100+ years of accumulated dust I smelled. "Sighs of relief!" This camera was a "shooter," and in remarkable condition considering its origin.

лично наблюдал товарища закупавшего в экта-ф несколько блоков широкого фуджи-слайда и неск блоков полароида
так что пользуются
фирму полароид немного жаль, но
1) наверняка производство полароидов для про-бэков передадут сторонней фирме
2) фуджи по-прежнему делает аналогичные фотоматериалы

Длинно пишут:

As Heinrich Heidersberger decided to pursue the art of photography in Paris at the end of the 1920s - more by accident and as a result of his insatiable curiosity than anything else - photographers were still known as lensmen, a name that really seems to fit for Heidersberger. At the same time as he did contract work for well-known architects of the Braunschweig School, who appreciated his use of light and the lens in particular, Heidersberger also began to experiment with luminography - the recording of a source of light in motion - at the beginning of the 1950s. He was fascinated by the idea of letting light itself become the object.

The invitation in 1955 to create a mural for the newly constructed School of Engineering in Wolfenbüttel was a welcome occasion for Heidersberger to become more involved with luminography. He began to build a device that he could use to record traces of light directly on photo material. The artist named the pictures he created rhythmograms and continued to pursue his experiments with great enthusiasm. The name he chose was the first indication of the uniqueness of his results.

The rhythmograph, as Heidersberger called his device, was redesigned several times and perfected. The larger version, which was made of a conventional scaffolding, still stands fully functional in the exhibition room of the Heidersberger Institute today and takes up close to twenty square meters of floor space. Using four harmonically muffled pendulums, it creates traces of light on photographic material via a mechanically linked mirror and a point source of light. Three-dimensional images are produced by controlling the frequency, phase difference, amplitude and transmission of the pendulums - two drive the mirror vertically and two horizontally.

Different to the constructive work of his contemporaries, who were following similar ambitions, Heidersberger's light images have a three-dimensional aspect and also include coincidence as a principle in their design. Heidersberger found the inspiration for the multi-dimensional solution in reading a book on "Physics in Graphical Pictures". There he discovered the figures of the physicist Jules Antoine Lissajous and they challenged him to get similar results in photography. From that time on, he called these pictures rhythmograms.

With each structural alteration, the machine became more complex and its use more skilled and more effortless at the same time. By extinguishing the light for a short period of time, for example, Heidersberger discovered new traces and he also began to work on the negatives. As a result of inversion, multiple exposures and sectioning that led to extensive compositions and solarizations, he created a completely new picture language.

His 'machine', as he likes to call it, was paramount to the synthesis of his artistic and scientific interests and still commands an imposing presence in the Wolfsburg Castle today.

In addition to the personal interests described here, the rhythomgrams must also be viewed in their contemporary context. They were very topical at the time of their creation. If we call to mind Applied Art - exemplified by wire and wicker furniture - in the decades after the war or the graphics at that time, the parallels are striking - Heidersberger had his finger on the pulse of the age.

From 1956 to 1968, for example, a rhythmogram was used as the broadcasting symbol of the Südwestfunk Baden-Baden, a regional German television station, and some say that the old national evening news logo was produced by him, a rumor that has not been substantiated to date. In addition, one of Heidersberger's light images received the silver medal at the 11th Triennale di Milano, a very important international exhibition of applied art and architecture at that time.

Contemporaries perceived the works as an adequate expression of modern living conditions: "[a rhythmogram] is able to put space-time relationships into a picture chronographically, lending a temporal process to the elements of space and quantity to produce a great metaphor of our newly won physical view of the world, in which space and time merge to form a uniform continuum at the speed of light." Such comments as this made by Lufft breathe the spirit of the 20th century and underscore once again the fact that Heidersberger is a representative of the modern arts.

Heidersberger also received recognition from artistic circles for his topicality. Jean Cocteau, for example, was so impressed by the relevance of his work that he wrote: (Cocteau quote). It was very early on that the Frenchman bought a rhythmogram as a birthday present for Picasso.

A total of 75,000 negatives are now stored at the Heidersberger Institute and that figure alone lets us imagine what range the rhythmograms cover. With them, Heidersberger created not only a new type of painting with light, but at the same time his mural at the School of Engineering in Wolfenbüttel made him the leader in the field of art on buildings, which first developed into a solid, cultural-political constant in the 1970s. Such utilization of photographic means is still a rarity in comparable contracts.
