Dirty photography trying to look honest, is how it seems to me after the wine wore off

I saw a Richard Avedon exhibition and they had some of his early work which is impossible to find online
Think it was impossible to come up in the 60s and not do dirty black and white and Avedon was no exception

“In 1977, on my wedding ceremony in Moscow Tarkovsky appeared with a Polaroid camera. He had just shortly discovered this instrument and used it with great pleasure among us. He and Antonioni were my wedding witnesses. According to the custom of the period they had to choose the music played during the signing of the wedding documents. They chose the ‘Blue Danube.’At that time Antonioni also often used a Polaroid camera. I remember that in the course of a field survey in Usbekistan where we wanted to shoot a film – but finally did not do it – he gave to three elderly Muslims the pictures he had taken of them. The eldest one as soon as he took a glance at the photos, immediately returned them with these words: “What is it good for, to stop the time?” This unusual refusal was so unexpected that it took us by surprise and we could not reply anything.Tarkovsky thought a lot about the ‘flight’ of time and wanted to do only one thing: to stop it – even if only for a moment, on the pictures of the Polaroid camera.”

xpyeah i remember that tooisn't the article a kind of robert frank truther thing, sorta arguing against him innovating it
& yeah i don't know i have seen that picture a million times, maybe it's just a different print showing it in a new light or something; the grain density of the sky. really wonderful.

the one on the right in particular
Big coats, looks like a wide-angle camera lens (uncorrected too) which exagerrates features closer to the camera like their hands

hey photo breezers
i think about film & digital all the time, & i take my camera everywhere, taking photos with film. over the last couple years i felt like i got less & less out of the medium-specific qualities of film - its richness & grain, its kinda hypothetical $lide-film primary colour vibrancy - & more & more out of what digital images could be like, either seeing my own blurry cellphone pictures, watching new digital films that understood light in a new way or appreciating the people i knew online who played with digital & made images that felt fresher & newer than mine, pictures which weren't so weighted down by the thing that, i forget, garry winogrand or walker evans talked about, how we know what a picture's meant to look like, which could instead really make images you'd be confronted by, rather than judging the success or mastery of, informed by established guidelines. anyway, because my otherwise adequate & appealingly-shitty cellphone camera is slow, i am kinda interested in buying a digital camera. i don't really know anything about them, & find it difficult to research, because, as a contrarian, the characteristics i want are things that are generally perceived as negatives in the digital-camera-consumer-advice world, to be able to cultivate grain & blur & to work in lo-res & to be quick & not sharp & to be open to digital error. i don't really have a specific question here but i wondered if anyone had any guidance, or had a camera they liked, or had advice about avenues i could look into; cameras that were weird or were discontinued or, by virtue of being where it was at in 2006, would adequately serve my lo-tec needs. i don't think i'm necessarily looking for the kind of perverse holga-ish complement to a more straightforwardly, technically functioning primary machine; just something that's normal & uncomplicated & adequate. film is still interesting to me, & all the time i see pictures that kind of almost just theoretically couldn't exist as digital images, to me - this sarah soquel morhaim picture, say - & i can imagine shooting black & white film & using digital for colour, keepin' the flame burnin'. but i am sort of tired of film i think; it feels narrow & digital feels open. the experience of being alive feels digital, & the amount of time i spend staring at screens seems to have re-weighted the balance of what colour feels like in the world, these very equal plains of unnuanced tone stretched before me all the time. can i play with any camera? can i attach a russian dashboard cam to a bike helmet & just wear it all the time? should i just buy coloured pencils instead? breezer assistance appreciated.

Would you be thinking of getting a digital SLR or a compact? There must be loads of compacts available second hand that would fit the bill you describe, without requiring much outlay if they're not what you wanted.
― michaellambert, Monday, 12 January 2015 01:09 (nine years ago) link
I feel ya schlump. I"ve thinking of switching to digital too, mostly because of new constraints of my daily life, been thinking about what to get
Have some old and very old digital compacts at home, worried that they might be perceive as too HOLGA ESQUE
― 龜, Monday, 12 January 2015 11:48 (nine years ago) link
My feelings about digital are still kinda unchanged in that I think the output is m/l the same across models - the differences are such minutiae
That it's just about finding one that you feel 'comfortable' with
Most 'professional' and pro-am digicams are so feature packed
That maybe you just default to your phone's camera, or you should buy one of those dummy, easy-use cams (which I think are rapidly dying out as most mftr's realize people are content with tehir phone cams)
