awesome video feature by Andrew Szeto on local artist, friend, schoolmate, and very talented photographer Magida El-Kassis.
Magida has a show of polaroids opening tonight at Mugshots, the Jail Hostel here in Ottawa, as a part of Support Local month in Ottawa… see you there!
ps. keep an eye out for an art cameo by yours truly at about 2:45 in the video :)
For nearly four weeks in June and July, I drove around … shooting portraits of athletes who would be competing in the 2012 London Olympics. I photographed them not only in color with my digital SLR cameras, but also in black and white, using a 4-by-5-inch field camera and a 100-plus-year-old Petzval lens. Each black-and-white portrait was exposed onto black-and-white photographic paper, processed in a darkroom and scanned into a computer.
So glad someone did this! Wish he’d only shot paper negs though…who needs digital anyhow.
Today is the last day of my show, LATITUDE, at the Alliance Française Ottawa at 352 MacLaren St. in Ottawa.
The image above is the one I featured on my promotional card for the show. Today’s your last chance! Go go go!
