Just a few comments on attitude… ;-)

A few episodes ago I talked about starting a gallery and documenting that process here. This is the first check in with you guys and mostly to this point its been brainstorming and gathering ideas around branding, marketing, promotion, product and sales/shipping processes. I still have a long way to go but I think its important to keep chronicling this on the show for anyone out there interested or working on starting their own business.

In the last show, we took a look at Amazon's new Glacier service. While it looks promising, its not ready for public use mainly to the lack of a client to actually get your files to and managed inside the glacier. Hopefully in the next few months we'll see some tools being developed to make this happen. Until then there is Amazon's wonderful S3 storage service. Its affordable, though not as cheap as Glacier. In this show we'll compare the two services. Chances are S3 ...

This is a subject we haven't discussed in a while, but very important to any photographer. How do we manage all the images and files we create? Where do we store all of this. This is a bit of a primer episode, but I want to talk about a few options. I'm currently redoing my own system so I figured this is a good time to share this with you all.

First off, holy cow! Episode 100!!! Thank you guys for supporting me this far. I never thought I'd have 100 episodes. Amazing - thank you for watching! Today we're going to continue in our minimalist darkroom series. In part 1 we covered processing film. Today we'll talk about printing. I'll show you how much you can do with a very portable and mobile setup.

I have covered film developing on the show before, but I've never done an in-dpeth overview with a complete step by step guide to developing at home and all the tools that you need listed out. I'll be adding to this in the coming weeks, but this will be an excellent source for starting out. http://theartofphotography.tv/develop

Today we'll cover part 2 in our series on the decisive moment. Last time we talked about Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank and the 50's generation of photojournalists. Today I want to talk about the work of my photography mentor and share a work with you. This is a different take on the Decisive Moment.

Starting a gallery is something I’ve been thinking about for probably the last year. I’d like to start a photography business from scratch and document as I go along in the show. I really think this would be beneficial to photographers who watch these videos from a business perspective, but also in terms of preparing definitive work to be released. This is the primary reason I want to do this – to get my own work to flow in a new direction. A lesser goal is to make this something fi...

A few episodes back we talked about pushing and pulling film. This week I decided to put my talk into action and push a roll of Kodak Tri-X. This is an extreme example, but I wanted to see if it would work. I pushed it 4 stops from 400 up to 6400. Development was done as a stand in Rodinal 1:100 for 2 hours. I'm very pleased with the results. If you'd like to see bigger versions of the images in the video - I have a set on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tedforbes/sets/72157631192796406/
