[filmscanners] RE: Piezo Exhibition in Boston

["Jack Phipps" <JPhipps@asf.com>]

Digital ICE, Digital ROC and Digital GEM are on the Nikon IV ED. We are
working with most manufacturers to add it to other scanners as well. We will
soon announce Digital ICE for flatbed scanners. I try to follow this group
on a regular basis to answer questions related to our products. Feel free to
contact me concerning any questions you may have.

Hey Jack, are you really working for ASF ?
This is great because there is an option of getting first-hand information
about widely known ICE package functionally implemented into popular
scanners.
I'm considering purchasing of Nikon IV ED which features such
functionality...

Regards,
Alex Z

Congratulations Bruce! I wish I could make it to Boston!
It is great to hear about the success of others!

I've mostly lurked here since last fall because I've been pursuing a
sabbatical project in digital printing. I've learned a lot by doing
so, and some of that knowledge has now been put to use. I am truly
indebted to all on the list.

I've just put the finishing touches on an exhibition of 31 Piezo BW
prints now on display through March 1 at the Gallery at Newbury
College in Brookline, near Boston MA, USA.

I work primarily with the natural landscape as raw subject matter,
using 4 x 5 and 5 x 7 formats. I depart from tradition by making two
negatives of each scene, reversing one, aligning the pair and
printing them as a sandwich. The results can be startlingly different
from the original. Imagine Minor White making Rorshach inkblots
(clue: he did:-)  Printing the work conventionally always entailed
complex masking and contrast control. Scanning to Photoshop affords
me much greater control, flexibility, and consistency.

The negatives were scanned on a Scitex Eversmart (5x7s) and a humble
Epson 2450 (less of a step down than one might expect) and printed
with an 1160/CIS Austin Franklin sold me on 13 x 19 Photo Rag. There
are also two 22 x 30 prints made on a 7000 at the Cone workshop.

I have a .pdf of the announcement card, but I'm not sure if I can
post it to the list as an attachment. Email me directly if you would
like a copy, or any other information.
