This Saturday at HomeSpace – Bruce Schultz and Euphus Ruth both return for one more full day of tintype making–starting at 12noon, when both photographers will demonstrate the antique art of the wet-plate collodian process. After the demo, stay and have your portrait made. Jenny Sampson and Gayle Stevens will be be on hand as well to discuss their recent work in the same medium.
This will be their final day for the ‘tintype‘ show, so please come out and have a look-see at this early process in the hands of four contemporary photographers.

Having seen too many people abandon perfectly good cameras thinking than a newer, fancier one will somehow give them better photos, professional photographer and author Khara Plicanic reminds us that, “Cameras don’t take great photos, people do!” To demonstrate, she and her husband Emir, are riding their bicycles 3100 miles from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Florida, stopping in eight cities along the way to teach shutterbugs of all skill levels how to improve their photos—using whatever camera it is that they already have.

Michael Grecco Talk: Naked Ambition
Saturday, Dec 10, 4pm
Martine Chaisson Gallery
727 Camp Street
New Orleans, LA 70130
Free and open to the public
The Naked Ambition: An R Rated Look at an X Rated Industry project contains over 200 photographs of actors, filmmakers and personalities in the world of adult entertainment. Grecco photographed his subjects during the 2006 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, the convention which surrounds the annual AVN Awards. The accompanying book’s forewords, written by rock musician Dave Navarro and Hustler magazine editor Larry Flynt, discuss modern culture’s acceptance of pornography into the mainstream, which allows an overtly sexual work like this to be considered a coffee table book. Uncommon in pornography-related works, the photographs have not been altered with any significant image editing or photo manipulation, thus avoiding the layer of fantasy usually applied to actors in this field.
