I like his stuff but its very "Gothic" looking.
I would have said Victorian looking. Either way, I find his work unique and quite interesting. steve simmons ps a sample is on the cover which is on our web page www.viewcamera.com |

The cover picture is interesting in that its truly ugly subject and gutwrenching terrible lighting contradicts the intention of the early photography the print seems to represent. Early portratis strove to glamorize or emblam the subject in its best terms with good lighting. Perhaps the cover doesn't represent the rest of the collection. I'll know when I get the issue, but after looking at the cover I'm not really looking forward to it. |

Geesh keep open minds you two really sound like a couple of farts. :-) I don't quite look at these from the aspect of just artistic merit, the text informs that Gerlach is using old lenses and processes in addition he has refurbished the cameras that he uses, which in mind hardly qualifies the vacuum statement. In addition Kerry Thalmann has written "once again" an excellent article - resource for investigating Mammoth Cameras which ties into the cover and Gerlachs work. -- LF website http://members.bellatlantic.net/~gblank |

I'll know when I get the issue, but after looking at the cover I'm not really looking forward to it. Oh well each to his/her own I suppose. I enjoyed the cover and the other work by Gerlach. Ugly subject? We looking at the same issue? Terrible lighting? Looks like a classic butterfly to me. I thought the lighting fit the subject very well. I did think the reproduction in some of the articles was very poor although several articles were interesting. I especially liked the Sandy King piece on carbon. Also enjoyed the ULF articles. However, the quality of reproduction was especially poor in the article on digital negatives for silverprinting. If the reproductions are even remotely representative of the true appearence of the prints, I would never try the method. Looks horrible in the copy I have. But the thing in the otherwise good issue that really made me want to hurl was the awful Epson ad of the Howard Schatz "spider." Gak! I'll take that "ugly" cover any day. All in all the best issue (for my tastes) that I've seen from VC in awhile. A nice mix all around. Joe (Switch the vOwEl in my email address to reply.) |
