Early Photography in Colonial Australia
An interesting blend that I wasn't quite expecting, with reflection on photography, First Nations people, the colonial project and modern artistic use of historical photographic methods. James Tylor had some fascinating comments about #Kaurna and other #SouthAustralia place names. Panel at #NationalLibraryAU last week. #historyOfPhotography

📖 Num artigo publicado na revista Revelar, Leonor Sá analisa o papel do retrato judiciário em termos filosóficos e como instrumento biopolítico de poder na segunda metade do século XIX e como este tipo de retrato (ou #mugshot) acabou por fascinar grandes artistas plásticos e o imaginário público.

Eminently successful as a portraitist, Claudet also demonstrated a broad interest in photography in general - in technical problems, paper processes, and in aesthetic matters.

George Tames - The Loneliest Job (1961). At the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York, in a press photo exhibit. He leaned like this because of his bad back and was only reading a newspaper, but we'd readily believe it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

“At that time a device called a camera obscura was used by artists to project an image into a wooden box. Talbot believed that this image could be made permanent and abandoned his political career in 1835 to focus on his new project.“ #artHistory #historyOfPhotography
I loved this from Bruce Gilden in an interview playing at his Fotografiska exhibit:
“I’m angry. I’ll always be angry. If I stop being angry, I’ll lose my art. I’ll stop being Bruce Gilden.”
There was another I can only paraphrase: he knows he can't be Cartier-Bresson, but he can be the best possible version of Bruce Gilden. Words to live by.

Governess and nanny shoots over 150k photos in her lifetime, never shows them. Doesn't develop some. She ages in poverty. In 2007, her work is auctioned from a forgotten storage locker. It goes viral on Flickr. Now there are documentaries and books. Dying in 2009, she's never to know she's now seen as one of the great 20th century street photographers. That’s fake, right?

One more for #Caturday. Evelyn Hofer: Cat in a Dublin pub (1966)
I believe the pub is Mulligan's in Dublin. Almost 300 years old and appears in a Joyce short story. There's nothing new to say about the photo. Hofer was a master.

"A compilation of 550 original plates reveals the dedicated work of the nineteenth-century woman who was the first to publish a book with #cyanotypes of specimens."
Sun is out - new cyanotype prints! This one is inspired by the Wilson cloud chamber and cosmic rays. A Wilson cloud chamber is basically a tank of condensed, supercooled water (or alcohol) vapour. It is used to detect high energy particles - ionizing radiation. …
