COCOA

Feeling too lazy to make it from scratch, I decided to BUY a ready-made mix for hot chocolate last week.  Then I read the label.  Damn the labels.  I just cannot knowingly consume another artificial sweetener.  Acesulfame Potassium is in almost every mix out there–even the non-diet ones.  So, I went home and pulled out my recipe.  It has 4 ingredients: milk, cocoa, sugar & vanilla.  So, even feeling lazy, I was better off taking the alternative approach.  Just like this next call…

The Alternative
Approach

 

Alternative process photography today is a blend of contemporary ideas and historical techniques. Many photographers have rediscovered some of the forgotten early processes, bringing a unique style to present-day image making. Incorporating these processes into their work involves both skilled craftsmanship and a creative blending of new and old. For our third annual alternative process exhibition, The Alternative Approach, The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographers who use handmade and historic photographic techniques in their work.  19th century photographic processes dominate this genre.

Newer isn’t always better. I have wooden spoons and cookie sheets in my kitchen whose original material compositions are virtually undetectable.  Sometimes you stick with what you love, but sometimes folks come along regardless of age and instantly recognize the value of something that has worked for someone else forever…like my husband’s second hand flour sifter.  Discover an oldie (but goodie) of your own with this show…

Download the prospectus!ABOUT THE JUROR:  Joy Goldkind was 50 years old before she took her first photography class, though her back-ground was always based in the fine arts. De-spite an unusually late start, Goldkind’s career as a fine arts photographer has progressed rather rapidly.

Her photographs of nude danc-ers, geishas, drag queens, ballerinas, circus per-formers, etc. have not gone unnoticed. Some-times inspired from a fantasy world, the use of double exposures and slow shutter speeds help Joy to change what is true and expected into a more surrealistic scene. The old world beauty and quality they possess is in no doubt influ-enced by a deep interest in art history.

With the use of the historic Bromoil process as a tool to express her fine art portraits, Joy adds a layer of mystery to her photographs. Very popular in the early 1900’s, the Bromoil process was favored by pictorial photographers who used it to add a more artistic rendering to their work. Each piece is individually inked by hand, therefore no two prints are identical.
