david ... very good works indeed ...



but let me remark about the title " film photographer wins .... "
when i hear something like this, especially from film photographers (and i guess u r one of those dedicated guys like me with film), i have a feeling that this comes with some unconfidance in FILM and its place in photography arena .... as though it is RETRO and no body really pays attention in the conteporary pro and art photography to works done on film... that titla sounds to me like "wow, what a happy days and surprise, film is still on the map" .... just like "wow - it is b/w, it is retro" .... b/w is film, and for me it is a languege, a medium on its own... and about film in general (color i mean), ya, digital takes its place and convinience but there are many, much more than it seems photographers still photographing with film, nothing surprising in it, and nothing inferior in using film... i think there are two mistaken conceptions about film photgraphy among film photographers - some people think that only small group knows the beauty of film and some people feel not so confident as to the film "niche" etc .... neither one of them is "true" ...

ASMP is the premier resource for community, culture, commerce and publications relating to publication photography. ASMP is the authoritative voice of publication photographers worldwide.

How many members of the ASMP do you think work only in film? That was my point.

 

[gr82bart]

For those of you who aren't American, ASMP is the American Society of Media Photographers. A David points out, I would bet there are a only a handful of their members out of the thousands who shoot film for a living. So the title is quite inspiring and positive.

Amusing that ASMP's website uses such poor quality scans in an article about... award winning photography.

Thanks for the link indeed.

This is so sad: "I wish my work had a greater social impact, but I feel our country is dead on feeling anything beyond a small personal sphere."

 

[Jeff Kubach]

Excellant work. There are many injustices in the world.

I thank you, too, for the link. Did any of you go to her "more images" and see the beautiful night shot of the trees, bright moon, great clouds? How-in-the-world? Is it perfect metering? Bleaching? Combinations of all the right things?
