Thomas Joshua Cooper at MOR

Absolutely not to be missed THOMAS JOSHUA COOPER Montana State University School of Art Presents an Evening Lecture with the Artist Monday 22 February 2010, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM, Museum of the Rockies Admission is Free Working solely with an 1898 Agfa field camera, Thomas Joshua Cooper has established himself as one of the foremost photographers of our time and was the recipient of the 2009 Guggenheim Fellowship. He photographs only outdoors, but his pictures are far from nature “shots”: they are images he makes, or finds, each unique, with each site captured in a single exposure, and then rendered as a selenium-toned silver gelatin print.

This image is too funny not to share. Sorry guys.

Cybersyncs!

Students-

Photo Checkout now has available a set of Cybersyncs for the AlienBees. This permits you to wirelessly discharge the Alienbees, free of the relentless tether of sync cords! Checkout has one CST transmitter, which connects to the camera, and one CSRB, which connects to one AlienBee light. Both units will have to be checked out to be of any use. The CST can sit in your camera's flash shoe, and connects by a short cord to the camera's PC socket, so you might need to do some creative peripheral management if your camera lacks a PC socket, and you try to use a hot shoe adapter and CST at the same time. The CSRB is powered by 2 AA batteries, which are currently in the unit, but it may be advisable to have a spare set of batteries on hand, since the operational life of the batteries is as yet undetermined.

The Cybersyncs are available at checkout now, so feel free to make use of them!

YAAAAY!!! Photo day at the boiling river!

Helena Anyone?

As some of you may know I am having a solo show at the Holter Museum with an opening reception March 12th. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a car pool caravan type thing down there to attend. We would all meet at a place and time and drive together. This I hope will get more people to come and save gas. Also you all would be more then welcome to stay at my mother's house that night (bring maybe a sleeping pad and bag). I would love the support and so I am posting to see numbers of people interested in coming.

Because I'm truly narcissistic

Hello everyone! I am asking that everyone I have modeled for, no matter how small, please send me a low res. JPEG (1000px) of at least one of the best images, or one of each of the images so I can have a collection. I know there are quite a few of you going all the way back to 260 (Chels that's you). I would love to see them all together and create a sort of scrapbook. If you all could take a few minutes to do this I would be very happy. Also I really want the band photos from lighting class whoever has those of Child Friendly Playground.
Send them to my EMAIL. maddhousephoto@gmail.com
Thank you,
Marta

This is what sulphuric acid does to negatives

These are just test images to experiment with the effect. On the one with the mannequin, the acid was applied to the emulsion side. On the one with the model, it was applied to the film side.

Need A Website?

I thought I would throw this out there again in case

If you are in need of a portfolio website, a new portfolio website, or just wanting to know more about how the whole website thing works and what your options are, feel free to email me or give me a call.

My email is millertimemsu@gmail.com and my phone is 610.937.2316

I offer the complete package, from start to finish.

This includes: domain name and very good hosting (with plenty of space and bandwidth), consultation for determining the logo, look, design, and layout of the actual website, proper XHTML and CSS syntax, all of which will be built around SlideShowPro. Also includes the customization of SlideShowPro to match the color scheme of the design for seamless and NON generic integration (customization to prevent it from looking like everyone elses flash gallery, including custom thumbnail navigation system), as well as server configuration, SSP Director installation (SSP Director is a server side backend image management tool, and its literally easier to use than Flickr), and other custom pages (such as Bio, interactive contact page, and whatever else you might want). And finally, this of course includes a crash course on how to manage the website and manage your images, which is SUPER EASY. -- $300.00 -- and only after you are happy with everything. Please note that domain name and hosting fees reoccur annually, and those costs will be $70.00 a year.

I am also willing to work with you in case you are just interested in one part of this process, whether its logo design, website design, SSP Director installation, SlideShowPro integration, or something else. -- Price negotiable.

Some may prefer other forms of image viewers (whatever you want to call them) but the reason I like SlideShowPro is because it is highly customizable, works efficiently (it's not like those long loading ridiculous flash galleries) and most importantly, works with SSP Director which is an amazing tool that will allow anyone to manage all of their images, including organization with galleries, albums, names, automatic thumbnail generation, descriptions, password protecting certain albums, and ALOT more.

THANKS! - Tyler

YO AUGIE!!!!! For You Man!

Make sure this is sized at 300ppi and you use the template when you're creating the cards. It just ensures that everything will show up okay. You can add lines for everyone to write addresses on and a postage stamp area just like last semester. Hope this helps my friend.

SPE room

I am going to SPE but dont have a place to stay as of yet. Does anybody have an extra bed/ floorspace in the hotel? OR is anybody going who would want to split the cost of a room with me?

Direction I am headed for senior

this is of course before the processes i am going to add but i just thought that i would see how you guys felt about the subject matter. I am going for that more antiquated snapshotty feel.

More Senior

Here are a few more... With expression I was working with the Liz Cohen dead pan, some smiles, and whatever she gave me! Like I said, I think I need to move away from the word 'pin-up' only because of the preconcieved idea of the subject, I'll work on a title for ya...

Leslie!! Look!!

Leslie, i was lookin around and for some reason, this guy's work reminds me of your project...I think that the visual representation of vernacular and colloquialness in this guy's work is well done and visually strong...just something to consider...
i really enjoy this photo. Taken at 1130pm the other night on a parking garage longboarding mission.

Senior Images

Hello all,
Just wanted to throw up some images from my last shoot for my Senior. Besides the obvious color difference, what look are you liking on the model, and is the lighting working for you? I went a little more dramatic ( not a lot, I know!). But let me know, thanks!

RYAN KIRK! Check out Jordan Manley
