They’re all about historical photographic techniques; the get-your-pawsin- there-and-mix-stuff-up sort of techniques or alternative photographic processes. >>> [ Profile ] Kimberley French, From Newfoundland to Shooting the Stars, by Wes Lafortune Kimberly French chases the light on movie sets as much as 16 hours per day in order to create photographs that are technically superb and visually compelling. Her photographs are published across the globe to promote films as diverse as The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford to Chicks with Sticks. >>> Expressive Images: Capturing Motion with Panning and Deliberate Blurs, by André Gallant Images conveying movement can be very expressive.

With the help of an experienced guide, a competent driver, a strong stomach, and a positive, flexible attitude, the opportunities to explore this land are boundless. >>> Contemporary Bromoil Images, by Joy Goldkind In the 21st century, many artists are returning to the past to find techniques that stimulate their creativity, spark their imagination, and provide new outlets for expression. The bromoil process, once mastered, has all that potential. >>> The Family Session, by J.

Many photography enthusiasts want something beyond decent, however, and here the issues that a printmaker faces are more involved. Gadget Guide, by David Tanaka [ Review ] Pentax K20D, by Peter K. Burian [ Imaging Products Review ] PMA 2008 Report, by Peter K. Burian [ Readers' Gallery ] Richard P. Weiblinger [ Looking Back ] A.A. Chesterfield, by Susan Fisher Although Albert Alexander Chesterfield (1877- 1959) was a successful Montréal commercial photographer for 25 years, his most meaningful images evolved from a brief three-year span when he was still an amateur.   Best viewed at a screen of 1024 X 766 pixels © 2008 Apex Publications Inc.
