Caught my Attention - Corey Arnold

Kitty and Horse Fisherman

Living just a stones throw from the docks of a port, which once had the largest fishing fleet in the world, I can connect with Corey Arnold’s photographs of his time spent fishing at sea.

I have never experienced life on a trawler fishing the North Sea, like all of my mothers brothers did. The large fishing fleet of Grimsby has gone forever thanks to the European Unions strict fishing quotas. Fish is still landed and processed here, but far too few of the ships, fly the Union Jack.

Caught my Attention - Pradip Malde

I attended a workshop on Platinum and Palladium printing given by Pradip Malde back in the Summer of 2000. At the time I was investigating various alternative printing methods for my large format negatives. Pradip teaches the print out version of PT/PD process developed by Mike Ware in the late 20th century. Although at the end of the workshop I had a couple of prints I was pleased with, I decided the process was not for me, even though I find the prints from the print out method of PT/PD to be unique and superior to the prints from the traditional develop out PT/PD printing process.

Here is a link to a large amount of Pradip’s work. http://malde.sewanee.edu/
