Links for the 2nd Half of November 09

• Unblinking Eye – photography, darkroom, alt process – Fabulous library brimful of funny processes.
• Lith Printing – Experiments with lith from a newly discovered B&W darkroom blog. Lovely.
• Ouseburn Open Studios : Home Page – Weekend includes workshops and behind the scenes at some galleries that are usually open anyway. Unfortunately didn’t make this but would be keen to know how it went.
• I fought the law and… I WON!!! | monaxle : blog – Alex gets an apology for his arrest in Kent back in the summer. Via a phone call to his wife. More as it comes.
• SMILING FACE FILM by Yoko Ono – Collected photographs of people smiling. Yoko’s hints for more effective smiling included.
• Lucy Carolan over at F:Lux is doing some interesting posts on smiling in photography.
• Light Research : Photographic Possibilities: Hirsch – What looks like a compendium of ideas for the darkroom. Santa will bring this, that’s certain.
• Your Waitress – A real waitress, who makes real photographs, with real film. Maybe she’d be up for an interview?
• Stream Live Video on Twitter from twitcam- powered by Livestream – Livestreaming for web with native webcam. Ideal for events. Just works.
• Photo competition | The Good,the Bad & the Ugly | to be judged by Joe Cornish – First Prize: One month’s exclusive use of the F STOP Gallery + up to £1200 in prints & framing. Last chance.
• Documentary photography digital magazine – Forgotten Italians: Alessandro Vincenzi “Travels to the past of a group of Italian descendants, who suffered Stalinist purges in the Crimea.” Navigate to Reportage 3. 7dot7 comes out 4 times a year.
• So what’s with the Othello / Joker posters? | Pete Ashton – Pete deftly expounds on the cultural context of the Birmingham Othello community opera’s publicity image. Riveting.
• Gum Prints How To – A detailed explanation using paper, acetate or traditional negs. Very useful.
• Mark Page is collecting photos of his readers for ah, something. Bound to be interesting. Might this do?

• Look! Photoautomat! Found him/her/them on twitter. Apparently there are only 2 dip & dunk photobooths now, and these are new. All the others use duplicated frames from digital video cameras.
• Photofusion.org run courses in London SW9. Booked the last place on the Gum Bichromate day in January. Exciting.

Really wish I hadn’t sold the super-sharp Xpan that helped make the photo at the top, but you can have too many cameras. And, oftimes needs must. Times are tough here right now, a whole wall to get rebuilt, winter fuel bills to pay and all that. You all know what it’s like. Will be listing a few goods for sale: a never-used Lowepro slingshot backpack, a few darkroom bits & bobs, possibly a Mamiya C330, some odds & ends to make a TTV gizmo, oh a fair amount of classic camera stuff. Would love it all to go to many a good home.

Am STILL looking for a 5×4 enlarger. Let me know if you know any going spare. Colleges tend to throw them out, don’t they?
