IDK how this guy is doing this but I like it

And it's digital!

Nice. Seems to be doing something interesting with the color correction and tonal range, which gives the night shots something of a film feel. Leaning to pink/ blue over green/ yellow? And minimizing contrast, so instead of the harsh blown out highlights you often see in digital photos, there's the mellow glowy lights more redolent of film.

NB I do film not digital and am less than a neophyte at digital post-processing, so don't really know what I'm talking about.

its... all the things that I try to correct for when scanning and editing negatives

Half film and half video gamey

enjoyed those; good choice imo not to take condescending view of the people in them

they remind me of luigi ghirri, also fascinated with simulacra, juxtaposition of real & represented landscapes, how humans inhabit them

so then “real” sites & landscapes visited by tourists appear like simulacra, representations, copies of themselves, as well

i went to window of the world a few weeks ago! https://www.flickr.com/photos/kdfo/sets/72157650740712860/

i was aware of the danger of condescension but also wanted to get the chaotic feel of the place...it's kind of hard to avoid ironic juxtaposition completely. but in the case of woow there's really not much room for condescension in that it's really well done. and it's just nice that something like that exists for families who aren't able to travel the world.

i went to a bar tonite called Weegee's and it was adorned with lots of... You guessed it

rent, like those! great flickr in general

would like to drink one day at the sagamore hotel in miami, with complete set of winogrand's women are beautiful on the walls

thanks drash! (sorry to pop in just to link to my own photos. love reading these threads but just so rarely feel like i have anything to say. will try harder.)

Hah rent I'm just getting around to pictures I took at the Beijing World Park

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9627011/pphotos/beijingworld.jpg

that’s a graceful photo. on the one hand, it’s amusing, exposing artifice (though like rent’s photos, doesn’t feel condescending). on the other hand, the gentle black & white tones, and the way the the bodies and the white train harmonize with the landscape, also make it look in a way like a real fairytale: a magical realm inhabited by princesses, princes, and photographers.

ha yeah that is excellent. i want to see more!

Ty dudes

I'm slowly making my way through but here's a preview

I'm gonna go

Ty all btw. Editing is slow work!

Confession: I do a lot of editing while drunk. That is how you get True feeling.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9627011/pphotos/truefeeling.jpg

i love this photo

also

sometimes editing is fast sometimes it is slow

very confusing

yeah that pic is gr8 m8

Ty

I'm going through my outtakes and I might publish em - only on ILP

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9627011/pphotos/outtakes1.jpg

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9627011/pphotos/outtakes2.jpg

But of course I will share what I shot last year. The trick is to get drunk and listen to Tinashe

龜, love your photographs

been in something of a depressive/ lazy period lately re period re photography (one of the only things in life that makes me truly happy); you inspire me back to the scanning & editing board

i have great affection for outtakes

hi there. just stopping by since I've seen our blogs linked here a couple of times: Modes Vu and Modes China. umm... i guess that's it.

Hi eee! I buy a lot of your books ^_^ I think #heartbreakclub is my fav series in idk how long? Just resonated and reminded me a lot of my own time in China that a lot of other China photography didn't

drash tyvm, I think I'm the same way - never feel as happy as when I'm editing and a good picture clarifies itself

You can check out my previous work here

Thanks Daniel! I'd like to make a heartbreakclub book eventually. I found him on Weibo and the funny thing is that his personal, somewhat random photos are a lot more interesting than his professional work. I find that to be the case with photography generally: photos shot with phones are more spontaneous and personal. It has nothing to do with image quality but how you use the respective devices.

Yeah they remind me a lot of pics I used to take on a Motorola V300

The image quality adds to it. I get frustrated that the iPhone's camera is too good (lol)

I saw that you're working with Rian Dundon (I have his book Changsha)

What other good China photogs are out there?

modes china lookin real good, eee

also hey who is good on instagram
out of everybody in the whole world i mean
i feel like it should be home of the fresh-feeling digi-snap

i like shen li

I'm working on a new book by Rian Dundon actually. Should be out pretty soon. As for other photographers.. I'm way too insular and focused on my own work so I can only talk about those we've published. Check out Jeff Yiu's JAM maybe.

The best living photographer on Instagram: @pinkhassov.

Haha pinkhassov has been much praised before on this board

Unfortunately his photoboks seem to be either OOP or unobtainable in the US

We all saw this link https://pavelkosenko.wordpress.com/2012/09/02/a-set-of-photographs-by-gueorgui-pinkhassov/

And said, well let's just quit taking pictures. Why bother?

shouldn't approach it that way. rather, be inspired by seeing that you can support yourself and gain recognition without doing fashion photography or other types of commercial work.

nuh-uh, it doesn't work, you get the pictures back after getting all inspired & it turns out they are of a lower quality than those taken by pinkhassov

i'd forgotten he was on instagram, though, so ty.

i really love hilton als' pictures

https://igcdn-photos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t51.2885-15/1799799_719334848179466_552372376_n.jpg

(thank you for the link 龜; great stuff; dig your eye & sensibility)

Ty for that schlump, reminds me I need to pick up White Girls

Ty drash, basically I'm an old bore who still only worships Frank so I'm glad you like it!

somebody else can slam dunk ^this^ into the ilx out of context thread BUT fwiw i loved white girls, its first long essay especially

I just ordered White Girls. I live a lush life 8-)

not on instagram, have hardly visited (interface with comments annoys me)— should explore more

so my only rec for good instagram is walker evans polaroids
http://www.andrearosengallery.com/artists/walker-evans
http://artgallery.yale.edu/overall-search/walker%20evans%20polaroid

basically i’m an old bore too (with pantheon including frank, top 2 gods prob eggleston & daido)

white girls looks interesting, i like hilton als

also daido moriyama polaroids, alas few of them online
