DONATE Are you running out of blog storage space? We'll be happy to increase it for you if you'd be so kind and make a donation to keep this site operational. All blogs come with 15 Megs of free space. Anything over that and we start to feel the pinch of things. Meaning we're paying to keep the lights on and well... nothing is free.
If you would like to donate $25.00 you will receive 100 Megs of space on your blog!
If you would like to donate $50.00, you will receive 200 megs of space on your blog.
It's that simple! This is on a yearly basis. If you donate on New Years Day, 2010 your blog will revert to 15 megs on New Years Day, 2011.
Most blogs will do just fine with 100 megs. And you can always use an image hosting service (there are several online) and link your images to your blog and it won't cut into your storage space here. Depending on what theme you're using, it should work fine. We aren't trying to dissuade you from donating, just letting you know you don't have to upload your images to this website in order for your blogs to sail smoothly down the internet stream. You only have to select "from url" when you go to upload an image to your blog.
But if you are donating, thank you very much. This place is a lot of work! We sincerely appreciate every thoughtful gesture.

 Jock Sturges @ The New Orleans Photography Workshops The Fine Art Portrait, with Jock Sturges
March 7-11, 2010
This five-day workshop examines advanced techniques in fine art portraiture. Outstanding portraits are the result of the interaction with the model prior as much as during to the shoot, and Sturges focuses on establishing a relationship between the photographer and his/her subject. Participants will explore techniques of empowering their subject to reveal an inner truth essential to making a fine art portrait with non-professional models, a technique of which he is a universally recognized master.
The workshop consists of morning and afternoon sessions. Each morning begins with a review of the prior day’s work. In the afternoon, under the tutorial of Sturges, participants shoot with models on location at The House on Bayou Road
Built in 1798, this Petite Creole Plantation reigns in simple elegance over historic New Orleans’ “back of town”, across the street from Edgar Degas’s former residence and just a few blocks from the New Orleans Museum of Arts. Two acres of lush landscaping, authentic architecture, and creature comfort make this the perfect setting to experience the romantic grit of old New Orleans against the backdrop of Louisiana in the full flower of spring.
 Fiat Lux - Fine Art Nudes by Zoe Wiseman Zoe Wiseman will be exhibiting 10 years of fine art nudes at A&I Photographic in Hollywood. Opening reception is February 18, 2010, 7PM to 10PM. A&I will be producing a book for the show, as well as a special limited edition book titled Fiat Lux.
50% of all proceeds will benefit The Weingart Center. They help many people here in Los Angeles transform themselves from being homeless to productive members of our community. Zoe lived in downtown Los Angeles for a year at 4th and Main Streets directly in the midst of skid row in a refurbished artist loft. The brutal inhumanity of it all affected her. She has decided to give 50% of all proceeds to an organization which focuses on transforming these lives and helping them get off the street.
A book signing, beer and wine bar, catered food and over 30 prints from several of her series. Models on the wall include; Ida Mae, Candace Nirvana, Jazmine Dominique, Natasha Kay, Marketa, Carlotta Champagne, Madame Bink, Muse, Kat Love, Ivory Flame, Stephanie Anne, Larva X, Rebecca Lawrence, Vassanta, Rei, Pash, Niecy Moss, Rebecca Fox, Jessamyne, Zinn Star, Soph and Maria Erickson.

Yele.org is calling for donations to help the extremely sad catastrophe in Haiti. I have several friends from New Orleans with family there one is a model friend. If you text Yele to 501501 you can donate $5.00 from your cell phone.

You can also help the town of Jacmel by clicking on “chip in.” Rebecca Lawrence sent me this link with descriptions of her roommates parents sleeping on the lawn where their home used to stand. Jacmel is outside of Port-au-Prince and donations might take awhile to reach the surrounding areas.
May everyone have a safe and happy holiday season! The Admins are offline until after the New Year. 2009 was a great start for us, looking forward to what 2010 brings! Good fortunes to all! Thank you for being here.
Noted fine art photographer Allen Birnbach, in conjunction with The Julia Dean Workshops of Venice, California is running a five day workshop on photographing the nude in nature from April 26 – April 30, 2010.
The class begins on Monday with an orientation, lecture and portfolio critique at Julia Dean Workshops’ offices. After that, we will do a short, clothed session on the beach with the talent who will be our models over the next few days. You’ll learn how to work with models in a professional manner that creates an environment of trust and collaboration, and how to establish a rhythm to the shoot that encourages artistic feedback and active participation by your model. Tuesday we will reconnect late afternoon near Joshua Tree on private land that has wonderful boulder fields, live Joshua Trees, and a burn area for our first shoot. Each session over the next number of days will focus on one of these unique ecosystems. Wednesday will be a full day of shooting, again with individualized feedback to help you develop your personal vision while you work. Thursday we will have a morning shoot and head back to Los Angeles. On Friday, we’ll wrap-up our photographic journey with a group critique, discussion and slide show presentation back at Julia Dean Workshops’ office.
Allen Birnbach’s images have been exhibited in galleries worldwide, and recognized by The Black and White Spider Awards, International Color Awards, The Lucie Awards, and numerous photo magazines. His work can be seen at his website, http://www.birnbachfigureworks.com.

Reward:
Be famous for 15 seconds
In order to raise awareness towards our mission to save analog Instant Photography, Clear Channel Spectacolor has generously offered The Impossible Project free space on a billboard in Times Square, NYC!
As you, your passion and your talent are the inspiration for our cause, we want to toss the ball back into your court â and ask you to send us one of your Polaroid photos that in some way references Edwin Land’s quote Don’t undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible. Send us whatever comes to your mind (no violent or “mature” content will be considered). If chosen, your picture will be presented in a spot (view a sample) on the billboard in Times Square as well as on www.theimpossibleproject.com.
If you’d like to make your support of The Impossible Project very public and gain a measure of photographic fame, please submit:
- your Polaroid photo including frame (.jpg, minimal width: 1000px / scan at 300dpi)
- a corresponding statement (like in the sample
video)
- the credit you would like us to indicate (name/ alias / homepage / anonymous)

ICP, 1133 Avenue of the Americans at 43rd Street, New York, NY 10036 |
We would be honored if you could join us at the above coordinates for the world exclusive premiere of the very limited Paul
Giambarba Edition. In order to shorten the waiting period until the premiere of our new Impossible film, we are proud to be able to present the last original, carefully saved Polaroid film â repackaged in a limited Special Edition designed by Paul Giambarba. He created the iconic look of Polaroid from 1958 to 1977, and the circle is now completed by collaborating with him on the re-design of these last Polaroid films. This collaboration doesn’t only honor Polaroid’s innovative past and celebrate the ending of a classic, but also readies the world for the future of Instant Photography by The Impossible Project.
In addition to the Paul Giambarba Edition there will also be an ICP Special Edition Camera Kit of only 100 items, including film and a tote bag â available exclusively at ICP.
Don’t worry if you can’t attend the ICP event, you will learn more about the Paul Giambarba Edition in next week’s Polapremium Newsletter, and you will
also have the opportunity to order Paul Giambarba film types worldwide from www.polapremium.com. |
Old fashion magazines thrill me. It’s always a fun trip through history. Noting all the infamous words that are totally unacceptable in today’s world when referring to women since we’ve almost climbed that big mountain to the top. Jezebel (the blog) brings these out every now and then and I’m always savoring every word from the past while applauding our future.

Sam Haskins died yesterday. Please take a moment and look at his work. Some of the most recognized photographers have looked to him for their ideas. Some wouldn’t have known what to shoot if they hadn’t have had Sam to lift from.
Warm thoughts to the Haskins family. Thank you to Sam for always having encouraging words, I will never forget them.
To the first art model who had a name… Goodnight Charis. Thank you for the pictures.
