My American Nukes: Photographs and Texts by Darin Boville show is up until July 5thâyou have plenty of time to go! Itâs at the Nuclear Museum, in Albuquerque, New Mexico (its formal name is the National Museum of Nuclear History and Science). You couldnât ask for a better venue for this show. Meanwhile, to give you the flavor of things, here are two video âwalkthroughsâ, the first shot by me,âŠ
Book Review: Coming and Going by Jim Goldberg
Jim Goldbergâs new book, Coming and Going, is a mess. Itâs a mess of photographs, a mess of handwritten text, of notes, letters, a mess of collages of photographs often hundreds of images to a page, a mess of people I have no idea who they are, a mess of little details related to the page in ways that only Jim knows. The book is a mess from its front cover, throughout its three hundred and sixtyâŠ

Book Review: Pier 24's Photobook of Photobooks
Oil paintings donât look that great in books but photographs do. This is part âbut only a partâof the reason why photobooks are ubiquitous in the photo art world. No other art form seems so naturally inclined to the printed page, no other art form is so augmented (it is hoped) by being placed in sequence, a turn of the page informing the previous image as it reveals the next. Take a stack ofâŠ

My Things-to-do List
When I post about my photo projects it all comes out nice and neat, one project following another, all neatly lined up and each progressing from milestone to milestone as if I have some spreadsheet charting each dayâs goals and metrics to measure my progress. (I should, come to think of it, but I donât.) Of course, in the real world, itâs all a sort of a mess, one project moving forward today,âŠ

Go to the Show (in Lancaster, California)
Doing anything between this Saturday and December 29th? If not, head out to Lancaster, California, and see the Desert Forest: Life with Joshua Trees exhibit at the Museum of Art and History (MOAH). Itâs part of a Getty-funded initiative that explores overlapping areas of art and science (an idea that is near and dear to my heart, of course). Featuring the work of forty artistsâI have four piecesâŠ
Find Something Wonderful
A local church, off Highway One in Half Moon Bay, is known for its yearly book sale. I try to go whenever I can and Iâve found many cool things over the years, even when I arrived late. During the pandemic they stopped holding book sales but, at last, they started up again this past weekend, and I found several âwinners.â The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of Americaâs National Parks, byâŠ

What do Infrared Photographs in HDR Look Like?
Some photographs look more or less the same in HDR with perhaps a few specular highlights growing lighter, the photograph looking maybe a tad more lifelike than before. Infrared photographs, however, seem born for HDR. The white of the photographs, indicative of a high degree of IR reflectivity, comes alive with the new highlight headroom. To experiment with this I made a few snapshots in IRâŠ
The Top 10 Posts
A little over four ago I started this blog with no better plan other than I wanted to do a âCovid Project,â and I began by writing a post where I begged for a bigger camera: I want a camera that tells me if what I am shooting is good or bad, whether the idea is dumb, tells me whether itâs been done before. I want a camera that takes away the slogging through thousands of images, a never-sleepingâŠ

[This page is graphics intensive and may take a few seconds to load.] Iâve been exploring my own images, looking again at work I thought was finished, converting works to HDR to try to better understand this new technology and what it means to my own photography.

SDR and HDR Comparison Video
Did I mention I couldnât sleep? Understanding HDR still images, though it seems easy, is hard. Weâve spent many years looking at SDR images, agonizing over SDR images. We pondered the colors, the sharpness, all manner of subtleties, but we didnât give much thought to brightness levels, to the idea that we were working in an old, old, paradigm based on cathode ray tube TVs. To help give people aâŠ

What Do We Call AI-Photography?
We need a name for this new thing, this new way of generating photo-realistic images. That name sure isnât âphotography.â There is a great outcry amongst the Twittering masses over this question, every photographer now a philosopher, ontology replacing cryptocurrency as the consuming topic of both those who sense photographyâs death and those who see its technological rebirth.
