opposites attract by aglaia b
This image was shot using a LOMO Action Sampler and 400 ASA Superia Fuji Film hence the slight grain. Lomo Action Sampler is best used for action shots. This is not an action shot however, i really like it. Other shots using the lomo action sampler One-second has been neatly dissected into four composite parts and lined up in perfect order to give you one shaky piece of 2×2 sampled action. / Tis more than a photograph and not quite a movie, you’ve got a permanent documentation of a snippet taken from your very own existence somewhere in the time-space continuum. / Tis also one wacky piece of photographic equipment, tis a real camera which consists of a tacky plastic box with four lenses strapped to the front, and inside are a few springs and cogs that reluctantly turn a full circle when you press the shutter release. / By some strange coincidence a standard boring old 35 mm film fits neatly into this box. Each time you hit the shutter release, despite the inferior quality of the lenses, light actually exposes the film at quarter-of-a-second intervals. / As soon as it’s bright enough the Action Sampler’s lenses go into action, giving you unexpected colours, haze and blur and a whole new world of shapes that’ll blow your mind. / The Action Sampler is not a finely tuned piece of apparatus made only of the finest in hand-crafted modern materials, it’s made of plastic. It is not a precision instrument with settings for the slightest nuance in aperture and lighting, it won’t even take a flash and the lenses are moody little beasties, reluctant to let any light get to the film at all.

Another little slice of the past. A 5inchx7inch black and white silver gelatin photograph handcoloured with thick translucent oil paints. The girl is my sister…....now deceased…. many many years ago when she was a singer with the band… Fat Boy and the Girl…...

Fat Grrrl seated........... handcoloured silver gelatin photograph by Juilee Pryor
Having a little think about the changing nature of aspects of photography and about what the term ‘handcolouring’ means these days….. I have previously always thought of the term ‘handcoloured’ as indicating the application of paint or pencils or toners or inks straight onto the surface of the photograph. The application by hand of paint or whatever gives the images treated that way a real depth and although fiddly and time consuming …. it’s a technique that rewards the artist with images that are somewhere between both crafts of painting and photography….. and become works of art in themselves. Because some of these old fashioned skills take some time to master and can’t be applied with any known Adobe product it seems that they are destined for the museum. Or for use by actual artists …. not everybody is an artist provided they have the right software type artists but real driven passionate obssessed and skilled artists who have the training and the courage to try and tackle that old vison thing…....... /

Summer Roses..... handcoloured instamatic print by Juilee Pryor
A few days ago the lovely and hugely talented Mel Brackstone posted an image which she had described as a hand coloured infrared. / It’s a beautiful silky delicate image and it really looks good. But is digital placement of colour on to a digital image really handcolouring? Are virtual paints and toners as good as the old fashioned ways of putting transulucent oil paint or ink down onto a toned fibre paper print? Anything displayed on a screen will look smooth and flat but the real test comes when you look at a handcoloured print in the flesh so to speak….. the surface is heavy and silky and solid and the paint on the velvet texture of real ‘paper’ paper is compelling in the way it demands that you touch it. This image called Summer Roses was shot with a tiny Kodak instamatic camera using seriously out of date b/w 126 film. It was then printed at 20×24 inches onto warmtoned double weight fibre paper before being delicately toned with Marshalls very fine transulcent photo oil paints and then double matted and framed in a old bleached and distressed timber frame. It looks scrumptious and no one could ever mistake it for anything digital…. it’s so full of depth and luscious with all the layers of oil paint. It took me weeks to finish it as each layer of paint needs to dry before the next layer goes on. In fact it’s probably not a photograph anymore although the parentage of this bastard child of painting and photography is clear to those who look at it …. in the flesh anyhow…...so anyway this is a real hand coloured photograph or perhaps I should say … this is a digital photograph of a handcoloured fibre print….... :)
