Maria Josenhans is a landscape artist working both outdoors and in her studio. An artist for nearly four decades, Maria's work plays back and forth between representational and abstract as she allows each painting to find its own unique path. Maria was born in New Jersey, one of two daughters to parents James and Janet. Her mother was a librarian, and her father an engineer and keen photographer. Maria had an early introduction to the art of photography in her father's dark room and developed an interest that shaped the early part of her career. As a child her mother introduced her to Scottish Highland dancing, which still today is a passion that she shares through teaching and adjudicating. Her talent for painting was discovered in High School where her teacher Mrs Erich would prove influential in guiding Maria into a career as an artist. From 1982-86 she studied at the Philadelphia College of Art (now University of the Arts), in Philadelphia, PA and graduated with a BFA in Illustration with Honors. In 1994, Maria studied Large Format Black & White Photography with Paul Caponigro. Her early career in photography and illustration was spent in New York before she moved to New England. Once she met her Canadian husband her path changed course and she turned exclusively to painting. In 2000, they moved to the west coast of Canada where Maria has enjoyed a climate that allows for year round plein air painting. She has always been a nature lover, and she is also a student of Zen Buddism. Maria currently lives in Burnaby near Vancouver with her husband Marcel and new dog Basil.

"Before photography visual artists painted, etched, or drew images they envisioned on paper, board, or canvas. Itinerant painters made a living painting people. Since antiquity, those were methods artists used to express themselves. The transition to the visual arts produces artificially though a camera was considered illegitimate from real art for many years since it did not involve accompanying emotional pain. You cannot easily explain the subject of art. I think something lies within each of us: some can express it as painters, others through creative writing, of song, still others by mechanical means. Not everyone can do those things. But that doesn't mean they cannot enjoy what they see, read or hear." - David HenschelDavid will be discussing his book, The Art of Old Time Black and White Photography: 200 Black and White Photographs by David Henschel at the St Louis Jewish Book Festival on Wednesday, November 16 at 7:30 pm.

An offhand remark from our guest Bryan Jones when he was a guest on a previous episode stuck with us: “You know color doesn't actually exist, right?” We had to invite him back to explain! Jones, a retinal neuroscientist, explains that color is really a shared hallucination and talks about how photographers can take advantage of this knowledge.

In this episode of Intuitively Rich Ani talked to Keith about his life adventures and the wonderful inspirational lessons that he learned through those challenges. Keith is a Colorado native attending Douglas County High School, Arapahoe Community College, Metropolitan State University and the College for Financial Planning. His education was spread out over several decades with two years in the Army with a tour in the Vietnam War. Keith started with New York Life in 1975 when he was 27, acquired his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation in 1989, and retired from planning in 2001. Keith was President of his local NAIFA chapter 1995-1999. Keith spent two years in the Army with a tour in the Vietnam War. That experience taught him to never waste time, it's too precious, and to that end, he has lived an interesting life racing cars and bicycles, skiing, foreign travel, and climbing many of Colorado's famous Fourteener's. It was that love of hiking and climbing that lead Keith to Nepal twice in the 1990's. His new award-winning book “Tenacity: You Don't Have to Get Lost in Nepal to Find Yourself, But it Helps!” is based on the second trip when he traveled alone and got lost for a few days in the Himalayas. It was from this experience that Keith developed his "TRIP Communication System". TRIP is an acronym for Tenacity, Resilience, Imagination, and Purpose. He started racing bicycles at 54 and became the President of the Colorado Bicycle Racing Association for Seniors (COBRAS) in 2011. Keith gained international acclaim with his 2004 article “Compassion at Death's Door” in The American Legion magazine. His other books include: “The Pain and Joy of Love, A Collection of Black & White Photography, Short Stories, and Poetry”, the illustrated children's book on grieving “Zooch the Pooch, My Best Friend” co-authored with friend Michael Kelley, and three Zooch audiobooks. He also wrote the column “Philosophy Speaking” for the Downtown Denver News for seven years. Ever the volunteer, Keith has sat on Boards and Committees for The American Diabetes Association, The American Cancer Society, and the Porsche Club of America Rocky Mountain Chapter. Looking to expand his horizons after retirement Keith joined a local Toastmasters club and learned public speaking. In 2016, Keith joined the National Speakers Association (NSA) Colorado Chapter and won the Member of the Year in 2017. He served on the Board of NSA-Colorado as the Secretary/VP of Operations from 2017-2021.

When it comes to achieving creative work you can choose from an ever-growing list of partners to work with: Agencies, hybrid agencies, studios, producers, contractors, and even your nephew all claim to offer you similar services.

*Please note: Henry's work is so comprehensive and gorgeous, we have only selected a few images to highlight. Visit https://horenstein.com to dig deeper and truly appreciate the scope of his work. From Mitch's Notebook about this episode: "I must immediately mention a film in which I played a role in its kickstarter funding that Henry Horesntein made called Partners , if only because we failed to get to that stage of Henry's career on the show, so prodigious has been his output. The film is an unusual portrait of these couples, whose lifestyles are contrary to the "mainstream" of society, talking about their romantic and sexual lives in a most immersive and direct fashion, using a single backdrop. When I watch it I am reminded above all of Shirley Clarke's masterpiece Portrait Of Jason, though that is black and white and of a single person talking rather than a diverse group of individuals speaking intimately of their lives. All of this of course only confirms why Henry Horenstein is a perfect guest for our podcast. That I wanted to spend some time discussing his study with the great E. P. Thompson - perhaps the premier socialist British historian of his generation (in a way the Howard Zinn of England) as well as our mutual friend and, like Henry, RISD instructor Richard Merkin is all testament to the wide and highly diverse career Henry has had. As for Merkin, he remains a major influence on my own dress and I am fortunate to own a signed painting of his which I proudly hang in my living room. Henry describes his art in terms of history and documentary. One of the things that is most important to me on this show is hearing how a creator talks about their own work. Of course when I look at any of Henry's photographs I am seeing photographs I love to look at and can return to again and again without ever losing interest in them. I certainly am not thinking of any of the more pulitosophic terrain that we were fortunate enough to get into in this episode. Still less do I ever really know what was behind or went into making an artwork; only the actual author can know that. And I know that we always want to hear as much about that as the artist is willing to express. I enjoyed the hour we spent in this episode immensely and certainly learned a lot from it.” Henry’s Biography: Henry Horenstein has been a professional photographer, filmmaker, teacher, and author since the 1970s. He studied history at the University of Chicago and earned his BFA and MFA at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he studied with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. Henry's work is collected and exhibited internationally and he has published over 30 books, including several monographs of his own work such as Honky Tonk, Shoot What You Love (a memoir), Histories, Show, Animalia, Humans, Racing Days, Close Relations, and many others. He has also authored Black & White Photography, Digital Photography, and Beyond Basic Photography, used by hundreds of thousands of college, university, high-school, and art school students as their introduction to photography. His Shoot What You Love serves both a memoir and a personal history of photography over the past 50 years. In recent years, Henry has been making films: Preacher, Murray, Spoke, Partners, and Blitto Underground, which will premier in 2021. Henry is professor of photography at RISD and lives in Boston.

"Until the announcement of my Hidden Works exhibition I have deeply missed the almost mystical experience of black and white hand printing in my darkroom. Now however I have immersed myself once again, and it is very special because the whole process of interpreting the negative has always been sacred to me. With much sentiment I have revisited works I created some 40 years ago and joyfully looked back at the decades which were spent making silver gelatin prints in the darkroom. It is truly like coming home." Charlie Waite, 2020"

Welcome back to KDOI Podcasting where we create more than we consume, Hello I am Timothy Kimo Brien the head instigator here at KDOI. Today our project will be Black and White Photography and we titled this episode laying somewhere between. What does that actually mean, well for me B/W photography is multiple shades of grey and lies between color and the absence of color. I think there is something striking about B/W photography, maybe even a bit of a throw back to older days. It also causes the artist to be very creative in dealing with the limitations of the form. You still play with saturation and tone, but with 2 colors vs an infinite amount of colors that occur in the natural and the digital world. Even with the restriction of no color you have an infinite amount of variables in the grey spectrum. Many of us have a cell phone or a digital camera handy, and we snap pictures, perhaps we use different filters and stickers to personalize these pictures, but there is an art form behind all of this and we should remember that the early pioneers of photography didn’t have it so easy. Bulky and heavy equipment, toxic and sensitive development process, lets not even get into the superstition behind photography that the Indigenous Peoples had that caused them to believe that we lost a bit of our soul if we are photographed. With all of the developments and evolutions of photography that we have today, the general principles still remain in photography as well as all visual art forms. Balance, composition, drama, action, lighting, saturation, tonal qualities these are still important in photography today. There is a definite difference between just snapping pictures and making a photograph that you want to give or hand on your walls. By all means use your cell phone or digital camera to learn the basics, but when you are ready to step up your game, by all means get ready to make art and not just memories. We brought back my good friend and tattoo artist Ashly Hutchins to discuss B/W photography and how to set up a good shot for yourself. I was inspired to do this project after I had 3 level cervical spine fusion surgery and was recovering in my mancave/studio/basement. A friend on Facebook sent around a 7 day B/W photography challenge and with not much to do and under some good pain medication I accepted the challenge. Since the birth of my daughters I have taken thousands of pictures, but I wanted to do something a little more professional looking. One of the rules was that there was to be no people in the pictures and there need not be an artistic statement of the picture. I played along and posted these 7 pictures that you see below. How does Ashly play into this, well I met Ashly at college and she was a photography student and I was in theater. We became fast friends and she did some portraits of me for a project she was working on. were all in B/W. Currently she is a tattoo artist and if you listen in to the show we did on her last season you can get that back story. When I decided to do this project my thoughts immediately turned to her and I wanted to get her eye on these pictures and give us pointers on how to do this better. To do this project bare minimum you will need : Smart phone with a decent camera - if you already own no additional cost App that can adjust photo : most phones have a built in app that can handle this there are other apps that are fairly inexpensive Photo paper 50 sheets 7.50 Photo editing software - most laptops have simple editing software and there is free software out there Objects to photograph : free if you already own them Framing supplies buy a multi pack and save Michaels usually has them for under 50.00 depending on size Time it takes Depends the ones displayed took about 1 hour each to set up, edit and print Bedroom - obviously not mine, but this is what mornings look like after the girls get up and run down for breakfast Best Friend - here we have my work computer. This kept me in the loop and sane because I wasn't able to be in the office and I couldn't see my Soldiers face to face. I spent 8 hours a day peering into the abyss Desk - My old desk from my bachelor studio apartment days came in handy here as a plant stand and general toss stuff on here till we can figure out a place to put it. Entertainment - Vinyl yup jazz records is what kept me going at night when I couldn't sleep with the collar on Garden of Eden - I built these garden boxes for the wife and she utilized them. I wanted to grab something from the outside world as I was restricted to staying inside and resting, lol yeah resting Surgery Supplies - what everyone needs, a rubber chicken, gloves and a breath measurement contraption as well as a neck brace, maybe I should have left on the brace. Tools of the trade - bag to carry stuff, my id card and my keyboard so I can type and not cry out in pain all the time due to my carpal tunnel. All this is necessary to get the job done Thank you for listening to this episode of KDOI Podcasting where we create more than we consume.

This piece appears in the June edition of Black and White Photography magazine. The magazine have very kindly allowed me to record my monthly column, Thinking Photography, for the PHOTOGRAPHICA podcast. Please checkout more info at the podcast page on my new website, flowphotographic.com. TRANSCRIPT B+W190 THINKING PHOTOGRAPHY ON CONTEXT ˈkɒntɛkst/ noun the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood. ----------------------------------------- To give your work context is to give it meaning to the wider world. Without context our work may seem irrelevant. With context our images connect to the intricate dynamic of human experience enabling people to form a bond with it. The purpose of this piece is to focus on a consideration that we all know to be true, is not often discussed and can have a great impact on our photographic legacy. In my last article I spoke of the creation of art as being the act of bringing attention to the abstract. This is a good way to start looking at the concept of context; in observing something and making an exposure you have effectively placed your subject in its own context – one that has meaning for you. This initial personal contextualisation gives the impetus required for the photographer to capture the image and give him or her the reason to commit to it. Let's say this is called 'primary context'. At this stage all sorts of nuances, details and fluctuations of meaning are either consciously or subconsciously known by its originator. Now a selection of images is made perhaps for an exhibition, a book or entering into a competition. At this stage ‘secondary contextualisation’ is required. As your images transfer from the private world of their inception and selection to the public world of arbitrary engagement those qualities and ideas in your work will be lost unless you can elicit some control over how they are viewed. The viewing public do not have the visual acuity, time or inclination to engage with your images as you would wish so you must help them by controlling the environment in which your work is seen. The key here is to concentrate the viewer’s gaze on your work without distraction. This needs to be done both practically and conceptually. A frame is a ‘practical’ conxtextualising tool Here the border allows the elements of the image to live in their own world – a world defined and delineated as something different but the wooden surround. A secondary or ‘conceptual’ context can be described by imagining the power of a solo show at the Tate versus the display of some work in a village hall. The same pictures may be exhibited but to different effect by leveraging gravity by association. These suggestions are all vital aspects of placing your work in the right ‘light’, perspective or context. This is a report from the front line of working with photographers over many years but it is not exhaustive. The craft of placing your work in the right context might come to you instinctively or not. It doesn’t matter – context is essential when it comes to generating the most effect from showing your work. Context is relevance. It can’t be put simpler than that. Ignore it at your peril. Here are some observations made during my time printing for photographers all over the world. I’ve had a chance to examine success and failure at close hand and these notes reflect some of the lessons I’ve learned. ONLINE It is too easy to show your images to many people. Flickr, Facebook, Instagram and the like all make the exposition of your work almost automatic. But, unless your pictures are connected to an event or cause, these media are disastrous for preserving the gap between the metaphysic truth of your images and the prosaic mess of the world around them. Your work needs space – space to make its own case. It is much better to use these media to bring people to your own website. WEBSITES Picture editors and curators have told my so many times that websites need to fulfill only two functions; clear visibility of images and ease of navigation. That’s it. A website does not need to be pretty – simply functional allowing the work to ‘speak’. GROUP VERSUS SOLO SHOWS When showing prints avoid group shows – they do nobody’s work any favours. Instead commit to your images and find a space where they can be shown on their own. Group exhibitions have the benefit of bringing more people in to view your work and they can be effective for people starting out but they are messy, prone to compromise and have the effect of degrading the power of your work especially when your work is adjacent to a weaker display. The aforementioned ‘village hall’ is a better environment to display your work than risking contamination by acquaintance with poor images. PRESENTATION Framing is over considered. You cannot reinvent photography with a stunning frame. Keep it simple and make all your pictures the same size so that the viewer can ‘tune out’ the ancillary details and concentrate on the actual images. iPads are great for casually showing your work but we automatically devalue the work on show because screen images are so pervasive in our visual lives. Hanging pictures is crucial to their impact. Poor hanging will reduce the power of your exhibition by a huge amount. Make sure that frames are neat and clean and hung so that they are dead straight. Failure to do this makes you look like an amateur (I mean this in the pejorative sense!). Neat hanging is more important than correct exposure for the purposes of connecting with viewers. PORTFOLIOS A set of prints in a clamshell portfolio box is endures as a good way to show your work. Allow wide borders (go up a paper size to incorporate this) and you get the double benefit of being able to handle prints (matte paper cleans up very well – direct message me and I’ll tell you how) and the separation from the environment that every good shot deserves. CURATING A SELECTION Loose a third. Some of my clients refer to the process of selection as ‘drowning your babies’ – a horrific term but one that sums up the process well. Your final selection should hurt. There will be loved pictures left behind because they weaken the ‘whole’. Agree or disagree? Let me know at @schneideman331 or email me at alex@flowphotographic.com
WHY PHOTOGRAPHY AT ALL? 1st column from BLACK + WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY MAGAZINE This is the first of of a regular series which are audio versions of my new monthly column, 'Thinking Photography' which appears in BLACK + WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY. Every month I take apart, unpack and dissect various ideas about the nature of photography. My column is fairly short and straight to the point. Each article is illustrated by some of my photographs. This article is from May's edition of B+WP and it is looks at the drive to create and therefore to photograph. As ever, please let me know what you think. Alex alex@asprinting.net

Jay Seldin (@phototraveler8) is a fine art photographer, photo travel entrepreneur, and instructor. Jay has spent the bulk of his career as a teacher, whether teaching graphic design and photography at the high school level, or more recently conducting workshops and photo tours all over the world. This conversation tracks Jay's early career and how he got into teaching, his accidental discovery of the Macintosh, how he transitioned into leading workshops and tours, and how Prescott learned the graphic design trade in 1998–99 as a high school senior. Environmental Portraits in Cuba, by Jay Seldin Show Notes & Links Jay defines himself as a teacher, a photographer, and world traveler. He is a curious person and a teller of tales. His style can be defined as an “environmental portrait photographer” Jay Seldin on YouTube Jay's photo career began when he was required to take a humanities class in college. That class was an introduction to Black and White Photography. Developing a print in a darkroom was Jay's “lightbulb moment” (and that lightbulb was probably amber) When he was 18, Jay did his first cross-country road trip to San Francisco On The Road by Jack Kerouac on Amazon and on Audible Jay earned 60¢/hr at his first photo job, working in a photo studio in New York Photography was considered “Industrial Arts” and “Art” depending on the school, and the state Jay taught at West Orange High School, Dwight Morrow High School, and later Columbia High School Ansel Adams, famous landscape photographer Mary Ellen Mark Eugene Richards Lucien Clergue Michael Kenna Ruth Bernard Apple Lisa & Apple Mac — The big decision in Jay's teaching career c.1984 Floppy disks “That mouse made all the difference in the world.” ← Click to Tweet The Original Apple Macintosh Adobe Photoshop 4.0 QuarkXPress 4.1 Aldus (later Adobe) Pagemaker Mac Draw Mac Write Matt Kushner, now an animator Sally Warner, now an oceanographer Prescott credits his time on the newspaper staff as his first true graphic design role Bluelines Guildscript, Columbia High School's literary magazine Columbia High School had the first computer graphics lab in the state of NJ Continuous Tone Print Jay's purpose-built studio above his garage Jay Seldin in his studio, surrounded by gear and his work In addition to printing, Jay also does mentoring/tutoring in his studio The principal activity is [still] teaching The workshop trips gained momentum slowly, with interest among friends ICP asked him to run programs It takes a year for Jay to put together a good workshop The Newark Museum Cuba Cultural Travel “When you go to a museum, there's no Cuban art.

Ben Cawthra‘s Blue Notes in Black and White: Photography and Jazz (University of Chicago, 2011) discusses the way images of jazz and the musicians who played it both reflected and influenced our racial perceptions during the period between the 1930s and 1960s. Cawthra reveals the complex interactions between socially conscious photographers, magazine editors, record producers, jazz critics and the musicians themselves. From swing to bebop to cool, to West Coast Jazz to hard bop, Cawthra’s book gives the reader fascinating photographic and biographical portraits of Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, and John Coltrane among others. The photographers, too, including Charles Peterson, Gijon Mili, Francis Wolff, William Claxton, Herman Leonard, William Gottlieb, and Roy DeCarava had nuanced and unique photographic styles. Cawtha also gives insight as to how African-American jazz musicians such as Gillespie, Davis, and Rollins attempted to control their own economic and image destinies within the ever-changing political economy of the record industry. Cawthra also explains how Life Magazine, the development of the Long Playing Record (LP), and the concurrent milestones in civil rights all influenced the photographic culture of jazz – and there is a fascinating section on the very conscious marketing of “West Coast Jazz” to emerging white suburban markets in the 50s and 60s. The complex confluences of such a wide depth and breadth of social history is bound to stimulate much thinking and raise many additional questions. Rich, thought-provoking, and with images and insights that stay with you: read it, look at the photos and think long and hard…there’s no end to the combination and permutations of analyses….like jazz itself.
