Jonathan Canlas - Film is Not Dead Workshop

roteague — Fri, 29 May 2009 08:32:59 GMT

I just heard about this through the latest issue of Fuji's Cable Release about Jonathan Canlas:

"Jonathan was first introduced to photography while living in Japan when a friend let him borrow an old Canon AE1. Upon returning to the United States, he became enthralled with film and the photographic process and eventually graduated with a BFA in photography from BYU. Since that time, photography has become both his passion and his job. He has shot hundreds of events throughout the United States and across the world."

New Nature Photography Workshop Business

naturephoto1 — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 12:56:49 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let everyone here know that that my friend Charles Campbell, the author of the Amphoto book The Backpacker's Handbook to Photography and I are starting a new Workshop business that we are hoping to have underway for 2009. :) Charles has 20 years of experience in Workshops and I have some experience as well.

We anticipate advertising in Outdoor Photographer Magazine and also through and at the meeting for NANPA (North American Nature Photographers Association) in February, 2009.

The name of the business is Nature Photo Workshops and the link to the website which is only in preliminary form as Charlie works on it is:

[url]http://www.nature-photo-workshops.com/Welcome.html[/url]

The workshop locations are to be all over the US but locations and dates are at best tentative at this point.

Though the business is and will be more oriented toward Digital Photography, than film based photography, film shooters will be welcome. Charlie has switched entirely to digital, but I expect to be carrying a digital camera and at least one film based camera to every workshop class. Both of us are using the new Canon point and shoot Powershot G9 as our digital cameras. I expect to be carrying either my Mamiya 7 II or one of my Leica R series cameras as well. The 4 X 5 cameras may also be brought for specific workshops.

We already have a fair number of sponsors including Gitzo/Bogen, Kirk Enterprises, and the Sierra Club. We hope to be able to make donations from our business back to the Sierra Club and the Nature Conservancy.

Please forgive us for working so heavily with digital equipment but we would like to make the business a success and that is where most interest lies at this point. We will be explaining things regarding Photoshop CS3 which will not only be valuable to digital photographers, but also to film shooters that scan their work, particularly from transparencies.

Photokina - "Pro Photography: What's Film Got to Do With It?"

roteague — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 21:17:07 GMT

"Combine fashion, commercial, photojournalism and nature photographers together on a stage and the conversation can go anyplace. But at the Photokina panel “Pro Photography: What’s Film Got to Do with It,” hosted by Eastman Kodak Company, the one passion shared by these photographers is their love of film. The panel, featuring internationally renowned photographers Pep Bonet, Det Kempke, Amy Postle and Eddie Soloway, and moderated by Prof. Dr. Rolf Sachsse, will explore their work, their motivations and the relevance of film in their craft.

“When I look at the collective portfolios of each of these artists, I’m simply astounded by the voice, passion and commitment each brings to the stories they tell,” said Mary Jane Hellyar, president, Film, Photofinishing & Entertainment Group and executive vice president, Eastman Kodak Company. “We’re thrilled to have such an accomplished and diverse group share their experiences and engage with Photokina attendees.”

Kodak will host the panels on Wednesday, September 24 and Friday, September 26 at Photokina’s Koeln Messe fairgrounds at the following times and locations:

Wednesday, September 24; 2:00 – 3:30 pm; Hall 1, Open Stage
Friday, September 26; 2:00 – 3:30 pm; Hall 1, Open Stage

For those in the UK:

"Introduction to Infrared B&W Film Photography - 16th Aug 08

This exciting one day Infrared B&W Film Photography workshop is a great introduction for anyone interested in this unusual film. This workshop will teach you all the basics required to use black and white infrared film.

We will show you how to expose various types of Infrared film currently on the market and how the combination of film and filter choice affect the final result. We will also dispel some of the myths and misconceptions about using Infrared film.

This is a fun day which will start with a brief discussion and presentation of examples of infrared prints. Then it’s out to shoot some selected locations to put the theory to the test.

Participants will need to bring a 35mm film SLR camera plus a tripod. Two rolls of 35mm film will be provided and development of these films is also included in the workshop fee.

Venue: Trim Castle, Co Meath
Date: 16th August 2008
Time: 10:00 to 17:00
Cost: €75"

I was doing some research to determine if there are enough film basesd workshops to create a separate section under the Resources page.

I just returned from [b][i]Photostock 2008[/i][/b], hosted by Bill Schwab at his cottage near Harbor Springs Michigan. http://www.northlightworkshops.com/workshops/michigan_gathering/index.html

What an inspiring weekend! I met so many accomplished photographers and printers. The weekend was loosely organized around photo shoots and printing/historical processes workshops. If anyone has the opportunity to attend an event like this, jump in with both feet. I can't wait to develop my films.
