When you have finished manipulation? Do you ever finish manipulation when is the piece finished? When is it Art?

bw-8-LithoTransferSevenMonths

Manipulation isn’t new this image is a study of a pregnant women. Shot on 35mm film at ISO 1600 to gain more grain and texture. It was then printed onto a sheet of 4×5 film giving me a positive image, then contact printed on to a 4×5 sheet of litho film [high contrast film used in the printing industry]this film sees just Black and White and adds more texture and grain. Many steps that I decided on while shooting the original negative in very contrasty studio light. When did it become Photographic Art?

What are your thoughts? When Does an image become Art? peace pjc

Early 1990’s Dance at Conn College

By Leave a Comment

Mid way through the 90’s I realized I needed a file numbering system for my negatives. That began in 1994, this image I guess is from 1993 for the print I scanned [not a great scan] had no info on back. Image made on film exposed 12,500 ISO. I do remember that the piece was re-staged from way before and had not been performed in years. Any information would be appreciated. enjoy pjc
