On the Mic

September 17, 2007
After a 9 hour return flight from Munich and about a 12 hour sleepfest I'm right back into the thick of things and trying hard to get caught up with the endless; emails, posts, scanning, teaching, printing, etc... Luckily Munich was fantastique, invigorating and i'm full of more ideas than time to do them, a wonderful thing. This week is spread thin in one of my favorite ways, lectures. (Perhaps a longing for my days in a band?) The first is this Wed. 9-19 Photoshelter City Tour Alhambra Restaurant 1240 West Randolph Chicago 2:15pm Free The second is a talk with some of favorite artists here in town with one of my favorite famous ones. Melanie Schiff, Ben Gest and I will be speaking with author Michael Newman about the current Jeff Wall exhibition at the Art Institute (and digital photography). Thurs. 9-20 Art Institute of Chicago 111 South Michigan Avenue 6-7pm Free Hope to see (and hope the jet lag is gone)

    Thank you for the lecture. I enjoyed seeing your work. Was wondering what your process for output is and where the digital process comes into play within your work.

    Because the lighting is such a mess in many of the stores, I scan all my negs with a high end drum scanner and correct in Photoshop to get a neutral image. My prints are then printed as lightjet or lambda prints which are c-prints made from a digital file.
