Additionally, there is a lot of amazing work by my peers in other media that you should check out.

Hello,

I am excited to share my recent thesis exhibition at with the forum.

The show was at the Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University back in March. The virtual exhibitions went live recently. Hope you enjoy the work.

As I wasn't sure which forum to post in, I posted in this section as it felt like an appropriate space. If there is a more appropriate section please let me know so I can have it moved there.

Kris

Simply put your post is rubbish. Photography is the art and science of capturing images using a camera.


A camera is not needed for photography. There is long and wide history of cameraless photography

Here is a current exhibition of such work: https://www.riphotocenter.org/photography-without-a-lens-an-exploration-of-alternate-processes/

Another exhibition of cameraless work curated by the photo art historian Geoffrey Batchen: https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/fhss/schools/art-history-archived/research/exhibitions/emanations-the-art-of-the-cameraless-photograph

Simply put photography is about making images using light sensitive materials. There are no restraints or rules outside of the editorial area. It covers a very wide range of techniques and genres. It is both an art medium and a means of communication.

For commercial work and amongst most hobbyists film is dead. This makes sense as the costs, time and labor are rather substantial. However, it is interesting that in the art world there really isn't such a thing as a dead process. Pretty much any historical process photography and otherwise can be found being used by contemporary artists.

I am currently printing my MFA thesis at 30"x40" in the darkroom because I am chemically altering the prints and darkroom prints are necessary for this reason. It has been very difficult, expensive and time consuming. The result cannot be achieved in software or inkjet printing. However, if weren’t doing the alteration I probably would't bother even though I love film. I would likely do digital output.

Now I find that digital has opened so many artistic doors for me that I could never go back.


It certainly has opened a lot of doors not only digitally but on the analog side as well. One of the more interesting developments has been the return of alternative and historical processes. Digital has been a driving factor in this not only because it has created a desire for a more haptic experience of image making but also has provided an easier method of making large alt process images.

Digital negatives can be produced on inkjet printers at a large scale, 16x20 for instance, which is easier and more affordable than using a 16x20 camera. One then coats their paper for whichever process and contact prints the negative and processes the print as normal.

Cyanotype has become very popular in the art community among photographers and printmakers because of its easy and inexpensive chemistry. Full color gum-dichromate printing has become easier as well because it requires 4 negatives for different colors. The separation can be done in photoshop and then printed as inkjet negatives fo each channel.

As for historic processes, my great grandparents cooked on a wood stove, not gonna happen.
But some people do get into antiques.

Digital basically has replaced film. When all us old folk die off, who will be shooting film?


I'm 31. Take a guess who will be using it.

Acrylics didn't replace oils. Photography didn't replace painting. Increasingly with everything being digital and processed and viewed on computers, there is a desire for tangibility. Not only is film making a small come back but the past decade has seen a renaissance for alternative and historic processes.

After working for 20+ hours a week in the darkroom, I took a break from it. However, with the ways things are much more of life involves screens especially with the rise of Zoom meetings for everything. Now my darkroom time is a welcomed break from the computer.

In my opinion, one of the largest ethical issue I see facing newsrooms today is the destruction of two walls in the newsroom. One is the reporting / opinion wall, the other is the editorial / advertisement wall.

While newspapers are generally clearly marked with news and opinion sections, it is not always clear in other media. Television "news" is a place where this becomes slippery, with few actual journalists on screen but rather commentators that mix fact and opinion. It is even worse when considers the idea of "infotainment" which stretches it even further. Local media tends to be less biased and more on the ground, however, the consolidation of media companies is eliminating much of the autonomy of the stations.

The collapse of the editorial/ advertisement wall has led to the rise of the "advertorial." This is an advertisement that is written like a news article in order to trick the reader. The lack of this wall also means that newsrooms may edit or omit news that might reflect poorly on advertisers which would lead to a pulling of funding. This complicates things allowing corporations tom dictate what may or not be covered and what may or not be published.

I spent years doing photojournalism. One of the first things I learned was that "truth" could be altered by perspective. That was why I arrived hours early and "camped out" right on the wire! Being just a little bit off the wire could affect which nose apparently got there first in a tight race. That would not be intentional altering, but it happens. One of the big things when we switched from film to digital was the alterations that could be done after the fact. It was required that we do NO processing of images before submission. So we had to get everything right the first time. See the amount of alterations that get done in the name of "art" makes my journalistic heart skip a lot of beats. And I don't know if the youth of today understand the difference. I applaud you in what you intend to do and your opportunity to do it.

I’m 30 and some of us do. Those of us who went to journalism school certainly do. The program I went to required a media law class but not an ethics class. However, ethics was discussed and drilled into us every course. I took the ethics class What disturbed me is that the print/ editorial students got it and some of the tv/radio got it. The students who didn’t see a lot of ethical issues were the ad/pr students.

You may already know these as you are teaching this class. Are you familiar with the NPPA ethics code or the SPJ ethics code?

https://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp

https://nppa.org/code-ethics

Edit: I just noticed that you mention NPPA in your original post.

A major ethical quandary that is raised in academic art circles is that of agency of the subject. This revolves around consent, privilege, power and the potential of harm to the subject from the work.

The second one is compositionally stronger with more force and tension coming from the fan. It feels more dynamic almost as if it is piercing the sky.
