Great find from Amberlyn. These are made out of acrylic paint. Very cool.

Jessica Hosman

Jessica Hosman makes interesting self-portrait photos by double exposing the film.



"I begin by shooting a full roll of self-portraits on 35mm film in studio conditions, winding that same roll of film back into the camera, and going out of the studio to shoot a second layer of images on that same film. I do not keep track of the sequence or placement of any of the images on the roll of film. Afterwards, I develop the roll of film and begin the editorial process, deciding which images have “life” and which do not. I then print the chosen images on 16x20” warm tone paper. "

This is interesting. Older work by this artist who recently published a book on alternative photographic processes.

Here is a link to his technical information.

Suzanne E. Szucs, Journal in Progress

I came across this artist's work at SPE as well. I picked up a postcard and could barely believe my eyes. I'm not sure if I was more excited or bummed. It is great to see the installation. It is so similar to what I had envisioned for my own daily self-portraits that I've been doing for years.

Ruth Adam's Self-Portraits

I think these images are interesting. I only discovered Ruth's work from going to a presentation at the SPE conference called unremarkable (350 daily self-portraits of Ruth's cancer treatment). Some images available on her website... www.ruthadamsphotography.com

Sophia Tolstoy's Self-Portraits

I just learned about this book and the self-portraits of Leo Tolstoy's wife, Sophia. There was a brief article in American Photo On Campus that I picked up at the SPE national conference in Denver and I am slowly sifting through the magazines and papers.

Unusual View

Looking down at my tiny little feet! I like the positive and negative space of this image. My little Pentax Optio M40 is a nice little fun camera!

I'm not sure of the date of this image.

Self-Portraits in Studio

I came across this digital image while looking for usable Virgin images. Sylvia & I met today in Redwood City and decided that I will focus on finishing up the Virgin Project (12 -16 images). I'm looking for images that are worthy of making Polaroid Transfers or Tintypes. My digital pix need a lot of organizing!
