May 29 - Special Guest Speaker - Parker Geissler, image consultant for the Jeffrey Goldstein Collection - the photographs of Vivian Maier
Vivian Maier was a remarkable amateur street photographer, who made her living working as a nanny in Chicago. She took over 100,000 photos, but showed them to no one. After her death, her images were only discovered when a local historian purchased a box of her negatives from a Chicago auction house. Several of her images were published in “Vivian Maier: Street Photographer” in 2011 by Chicago art collector Jeffrey Goldstein. www.vivianmaierphotography.com
Parker Geissler will speak about Vivan Maier as a person and as a photographer, and his role in helping to make her photography known to a wider audience. Some topics which may be covered during a discussion of her work are lighting effects and captured effects, images within images, influences on social commentary and Americana, and silver gelatin printing and the emergence of digital photography.
Visitors are welcome.
Projected Image Categories
Open Projection Category (digital or film): There are no restrictions on subject matter, technique, or type or amount of digital editing for this category as long as it meets the basic requirements for all submitted images –the image must be the sole work of the photographer and it must start as an actual photograph taken by the photographer.
Altered Reality Projection Category (digital or film): This category includes any image in which the subject has been altered to produce a special effect not found naturally. The final image is characterized by the originality and expressiveness of the maker to alter reality. The final image is no longer a natural, recorded-as-is subject and would not normally be viewed as a natural image. Any amount and type of digital editing is allowed, but the image must start as a photograph.
Nature Projection Category (digital or film):includes the world of living things and the outdoors. Nature and the natural world must be the center of focus (the subject of the image). Obvious man-made elements should be avoided. The Nature Division has restrictions on both subject matter and manipulation - no manipulation beyond Basic Manipulation is allowed.
