Back in December I asked Larry Desautels, a friend, writer & professor in Buffalo, NY, to help me with the foreword to my book, <i>The Height of Land</i>. Larry decided to write a poem to introduce the work and I sent him some photographs from the Hubbard expedition to assist in his writing. Unfortunately the book went to press before Larry had a chance to finish his writing so I decided to create a separate mini-book for the poem. I am very pleased to share <i>On the Trail, for Leonidas Hubbard</i>, a new book I've made using Larry's writing accompanied with Leonidas Hubbard & Dillon Wallace's photographs from 1903.<br/><br/>
Larry's poem is beautiful and haunting. It's perfect for the Hubbard story and I'm so thrilled with this collaboration. I am almost done with the print files (still tweaking text layout & size), I will then be printing and binding them in the studio. The book is 5" tall, by 4" wide/ 8" page spread. The book will be available shortly through <a href="http://www.houseboatpress.com">Houseboat Press</a> for $5. Stay tuned. <br/><br/>

I am very pleased to announce that I have in my possession all 400 copies of my photo book, The Height of Land, and will be mailing rewards this week! I just picked up all of the copies this past Thursday from the binder in Philadelphia, PA. <br/><br/>
Those of you who pledged $50+ will be receiving a copy of the book and a photographic print. Most of you (#90/150) have completed the recent survey and selected your photograph and specified if you'd like your book signed, personalized, etc. If you haven't done so already please check through your email and look for the survey request and reply as soon as possible. A few of you didn't enter your first and last name on the form so I have no way of knowing who replied. If I have not heard from you, or if you didn't complete the form in full, I will be emailing individuals throughout the week and requesting this information. Mailing these rewards and organizing all this information has been challenging to say the least and I do not want to further delay fulfilling my obligations to you. I apologize if you've received multiple requests or redundancies, just trying to complete my obligations as efficiently and professionally as possible. I really look forward to you receiving your books and artwork and hearing your feedback. This has been a great experience, thank you again for your support and for your patience.<br/><br/>
All the best, <br/><br/>
Ryan Arthurs<br/><br/>

I am picking up the books from Philadelphia on Thursday, Feb 21st. I hope to mail the prints & books the week of Feb. 25th. You will have everything shortly. Thanks for your continued patience and I look forward to sharing my hard work with everyone shortly.

It's here! <i>The Height of Land</i>, by Ryan Arthurs<br/><br/>
Picked up a handful of copies of the book earlier this week from Philadelphia, PA. Unfortunately the opening reception that was schedule for Friday, Feb 8th at Aviary Gallery was delayed due to the blizzard. Re-scheduling the reception for Friday, Feb. 22nd from 6-9pm. The good news is that I will have all of the books by that time. Heading to Toronto to the Wilderness Canoe Symposium later this week, then driving through Philadelphia to pick up the remainder of the books. <br/><br/>
It is my hope to mail out all the books and remaining Kickstarter rewards the week of Feb. 25th. Thank you everyone for your patience. It's been a very busy and exciting time for me and I really look forward to getting the books into your hands shortly. More to come shortly. <br/><br/>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4965899496792226933.post-87732178996624556102013-01-28T18:45:00.000-05:002013-01-28T18:45:05.733-05:00tumblr transitionAs my Lure of Labrador Kickstarter project is drawing to a close I am transitioning from posting to this blog to posting to my photo Tumblr. For those unfamiliar with Tumblr it is more socially networked, easier to post photos to and allows for hi-res images. Check out some of my film from the George River and for those of you who want the book to remain a surprise I am not posting photos from that edit at this time. Enjoy.

Today I received the first copy of the book (image left) and Aviary Gallery's announcement cards (image right). Thrilled with the print quality and color of the book prints and very happy to have more announcement cards to mail out. Lots of framing and web design to do this weekend.

After several rounds of color proofing and various technical adjustments the book is on press. <a href="http://fireballprinting.com/">Fireball Printing</a> in Philadelphia, PA has started to print the first edition of The Height of Land. I've also been trading emails with the bookbinder, <a href="http://geiserandson.com/">Allen Geiser</a>, and everything so far is on schedule. When Allen receives the printed sheets he will begin assembling the signature folds, sowing, debossing, stamping and binding the books. Hoping to have a handful of books (100+) for my February opening at <a href="http://www.aviarygallery.com/">Aviary Gallery</a> and the rest of the books sometime in mid to late February if all goes according to plan. Still scheduled to mail out the book and various Kickstarter rewards at that time. Can't wait to see the result of many months of hard work.

I also wanted to let folks know that I am in the process of relaunching my <a href="http://www.ryanarthurs.com">website</a> and should have the new site online within the next week or so. If you would like to order a copy of the book you will be able to do so there. I will also have an expanded edit of the book online but if you want the book edit to remain a surprise do not visit the website, haha. <br/><br/>
Lastly, I am crafting a new survey to fulfill print requests. I will be sending that out this week so check your email. If you haven't seen the photographs I am offering they are featured on The Lure of Labrador blog. Speaking of checking your mailbox, be on the look out for several postcards that have been mailed out by various Team Lure of Labrador members. <br/><br/>

The first project was a series of small books that I made while shooting at West Point. The size of the books was inspired by my great grandfather's "trophy print albums" from WWII. These books are basically his snapshots bound in the order that they were photographed. I liked the idea of making a book that used sequence without over-thinking content or progression. I decided to keep the books simple with a basic stitch to hinge them.

The second project is an edit of portraits of various kayakers, canoeists, Coast Guard, Army and military men. I'm tentatively titling the book, Men of Action. The book is constructed as an accordion fold, which basically means the images zigzag between two unhinged book covers. Pretty thrilled with how the book turned out and excited to make more book dummies as I work on my edit for The Height of Land.

I've taken almost a 2 wk hiatus from the blog and I have to admit it was a well deserved and needed break. Creatively I've been working on the book and editing photos everyday, I just haven't been writing about it on the blog. For that I apologize. I will make a better effort to write posts detailing my work in the studio... starting tomorrow.

Big weekend plans! Hoping on Bolt bus tomorrow morning at 7am to head to the NY Art Book Fair at PS1/MOMA. Will spend the day looking at amazing art books, meeting publishers and networking. Really excited to spend a few hours in New York, it's always so exciting to be in the city.

Then back on the bus to Boston tomorrow evening so I can pick up my dog, Stout, and head to Upstate NY to celebrate with Zach & Stephanie Arem. Zach & Stephanie were married in August down in Florida but are throwing a fall bash with friends on family for those who couldn't make the trip. I will be sure to take photos and post them on Monday when I am back. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the lovely, cool fall weather.

I wanted to write a post and share some of people and projects I most look forward to seeing.<br/><br/>
This past May I had the great fortune of traveling to NYC with my classmate <a href="http://cocowalters.com/danboardman/">Dan Boardman</a> and photographer extraordinaire <a href="http://www.matthewmonteith.com/">Matthew Monteith</a> (see May blog post: <a href="http://lureoflabrador.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-york-city.html">NY City Book Tour</a> to read more). In short, we had a great day visiting various bookstores but the highlight was spending the afternoon at the International Center of Photography's amazing library and meeting Deirdre Donohue & Matthew Carson, ICP's talented and amazing librarians/archivists. <br/><br/>
Deirdre and Matthew will be running a pop-up reading room in Long Island City. I've added some information about their event below, copied from the ICP Library's <a href="http://icplibrary.wordpress.com/10x10/">blog</a>.

10×10 Reading Room, a 3-day pop-up reading room sponsored by the International Center of Photography Library and the Photobook Facebook Group, presents 100 Japanese photobooks from the perspective of 10 specialists who have each been asked to select 10 postwar Japanese photobooks or magazines.Over the past 10 years an ever-expanding community of photobook collectors has grown in both Japan and the West. Recent photobook studies and resources have primarily focused on rare and out of print photobooks. Those seeking information beyond these seminal books have turned to museum libraries and online communities. Realizing that a void existed for the general public to have direct access to many of the smaller editions, lesser known postwar Japanese photobooks and magazines, the International Center of Photography Library and the Photobook Facebook Group have invited 10 specialists, who include critics, curators, editors, writers, publishers, gallerists and booksellers, to share their knowledge about Japanese photobooks. By no means conclusive, the selection presented in the 10×10 reading room is shaped by the specific interests of each specialist and is just a small sampling of the larger breadth and variety within Japanese photobooks.<br/><br/>

J&L Books is a non-profit Atlanta / New York based publisher of artists' books, founded in 2000 by Jason Fulford and Leanne Shapton. J&L produces two to five new books each year of previously unpublished or rarely seen work by contemporary artists.<br/><br/>

Selection of J&L Books from left to right: Golden Palms by Ed Panar, Crushed by Jason Fulford and Shut Up Truth by Michael Schmelling. <br/><br/>
J&L produces some amazing art books! <a href="http://www.jasonfulford.com/">Jason Fulford</a> is a master when it comes to the book form, whether it be editing and sequencing his own work or working with other artists. One of my recent favorites is <a href="http://www.gregoryhalpern.com/a.html">Gregory Halpern's "A"</a> which came out last year.

Images from Gregory Halpern's book "A". <br/><br/>
Greg came to lecture at MassArt this past spring and gave one of the best and most engaging lectures about photography books that I've ever heard. He described sequencing images in photo books like a musician arranges a score of music- paying special attention to repetitions and how a "note/photo" can reappear but grow louder or softer throughout an edit. If you visit his <a href="http://www.gregoryhalpern.com/">website</a> you will get a sense of the lyricism that I am talking about.<br/><br/>

I had the great, albeit, brief pleasure of working with <a href="http://www.paulschiek.com/">Paul Schiek</a> when I lived in San Francisco. We spent some time working on a frame project for Stefan Kirkeby at his shop <a href="http://www.smithandersennorth.com/">Smith Anderson North</a>. Paul is an amazing photographer, I greatly admire his work and I'm thrilled that his publishing company, TBW Books, is taking on such ambitious projects. I've listed some information below about his Subscription Series, text copied via <a href="http://www.tbwbooks.com/about/">TBW Books website</a>.<br/><br/>
Subscription Series:<br/>
Every year, TBW Books invites four accomplished artists working in the photographic medium to present an intensely personal and poetic exploration of their work to be released in the form of a book. Represented by one book in this four book series, each artist is given complete creative control. These gifted individuals craft powerful, surprising, and completely uncompromised works that implore the viewer to contemplate the relationships between images. The books provide an unparalleled glimpse into the thinking processes of who we consider to be four of today's most exciting image-makers.<br/><br/>
All components of the books are printed and assembled proudly in Oakland, CA. We recognize the value of keeping resources within the community, and are committed to doing business with like-minded, independent printing professionals.

Images from Dru Donovan's "Lifting Water" series published in Subscription Series 3.<br/><br/>
Past Subscription Series have been recognized and collected by many prominent galleries, museums and institutions, and have also been featured in many articles in contemporary art and culture magazines.<br/><br/>
Our subscription series and format is a novel idea that has already made an impact on the art and publishing worlds. By offering these books only as a set, we seek to preserve the relationships that take place between them. Our commitment to publishing a variety of both established and early career artists contrasts the art world’s habit of disconnecting artists based on their generations. We feel the dialogue between the works of different artists emphasizes that great photographs come from a place unaffected by time or space, and instead act as independent truths.<br/><br/>
The Subscription Series is a limited edition, hand numbered book series that is released quarterly. Book quantities are limited to 750 unsigned subscriptions and 50 signed subscriptions.<br/><br/>
Recent artists who have participated in the Subscription Series include: Mark Steinmetz, <a href="http://drudonovan.com/">Dru Donovan</a>, Elaine Stocki, Katy Grannan, Todd Hido, Abner Nolan, Marianne Mueller, and Alec Soth... just to name a few. <br/><br/>

In 2010, American photographers <a href="http://www.amysteinphoto.com/">Amy Stein</a> and <a href="http://www.stacymehrfar.com/">Stacy Arezou Mehrfar</a> embarked on a month-long road trip throughout New South Wales, Australia’s most populous state. They were interested in investigating the Australian social phenomenon of tall poppy syndrome, in which successful people, or the “tall poppies,” get “cut down to size” and are resented or ridiculed because their talents or achievements distinguish them from their peers.
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=AmyStein.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/AmyStein.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/>
Is the syndrome real? Can it be documented or observed? Stein and Mehrfar set out to explore quintessential Australian life and find what evidence they could of the existence of this phenomenon. They spent their days meeting and photographing everyday Australians—from schoolchildren in their plaid uniforms to young surfers playing at the beach to grandmothers meeting at their social clubs—all the while learning about the relationship between the group and the individual within Australian society. The resulting photographs in Tall Poppy Syndrome present their investigation into and observations of daily Australian life.<br/><br/>
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: <br/>
Via <a href="http://kelliconnell.com/">Kelli Connell</a> (via <a href="http://www.matthewgamber.com/">Matthew Gamber</a> on FB... gotta love the internet) I just read about a viewing party for Justin James Reed's book "2013" which is only able to be viewed in the dark under black lights. AMAZING! <br/>

Book as Performance <br/>
Viewing party for "2013," by Justin James Reed, released earlier this year. The book utilizes ink that can only be viewed under ultra violet light and was created with performative experience and communal viewings in mind. This program will include a video performance of the book by Anouk Kruitof and a live group viewing of the book in complete darkness. Presented by Horses Think Press.<br/><br/>

It was a welcome break from my usual routine and very refreshing to take notes and browse various books looking at style and content. One of the gems of the day was finding "Portrait of a Period: A Collection of Notman Photographs, 1856 to 1915." <br/>
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=beaver_web.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/beaver_web.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/>
Via the <a href="http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/en/keys/virtualexhibits/notmanstudio/">McCord Museum's website</a>: "William Notman's career as a photographer in Montreal spanned thirty-five years. During that time he built up the largest photographic business in North America, establishing at one time or another seven studios in Canada and, counting seasonal studios at several colleges, nineteen in the north-eastern United States." <br/>
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=campscene_web.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/campscene_web.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/>
He constructed some incredible scenes in his studio, like the image above of a typical campsite scene.<br/>
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=paddlers_sled.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/paddlers_sled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/>
"Notman did a lot of his experimental work [in the studio]. He would have stones brought in, trees planted, wooden fences set up and dirt or sand scattered around. In season he would create a winter scene of tobogganers on Mount Royal or snowshoers in the Laurentian Mountains. Sheep's fleece was used to simulate deep snow and rough salt for snow on coats and trees. A sheet of polished zinc magically became a skating rink or a setting for a group of curlers." (<a href="http://www.mccord-museum.qc.ca/en/keys/virtualexhibits/notmanstudio/themes/portrait/page8.html">Text from McCord Museum</a>)

As I was celebrating a friend's wedding I was also thinking what the light and weather conditions were like up in Kangiqsualujjuaq. Were they similar to Boston's? On a day when light conditions are equal how similar are our weather temperatures?

This is by no means a scanning tutorial. The equipment and software I am using requires a fair amount of knowledge and experience to operate... however, I wanted to share my digital work flow. I hope this is helpful to those wondering how I continue to work with color film and why it takes as long as it does to make scans. I'm not sure I can communicate via images online why I choose to scan my film this way as everything online is seen at 72 dpi, rather than 300 dpi. That being said, you will just have to buy a copy of the book (if you haven't already) and/or come to my upcoming show at Aviary Gallery in 2013.
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=film1_blog_zps986e35c9.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/film1_blog_zps986e35c9.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/>
In total I shot about 50 rolls of medium format color film. All of my film was processed at Citizens Photo in Portland, OR. Why Citizens? The cost, even with shipping, is about half of other color labs. Very few places still handle large volumes of film. Citizens does, so the chemistry is excellent which results in well exposed images. When processed, the film is placed into clear plastic sleeves and rolled into small boxes to avoid dust and damage.
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=untangle2_zps08dc1683.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/untangle2_zps08dc1683.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/>
I untangle my film and then lay it out on a small light table to preview images.
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=cutselect2_zps52e1c73b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/cutselect2_zps52e1c73b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/>
Then starting at either end of the roll of film I cut between frames. Due to the size of the magnetic film holder I make cuts between every two frames.
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=filmscan_zpse0640761.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/filmscan_zpse0640761.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/>
The film is then loaded into a magnetic film holder. Various film types have various holders; ie. 35mm, 6x7-6x9, 4x5. The holders magneticly attach into Hasselblad's Imacon Flextight machine which slowly moves the negative across the machine's optic lens thus scanning the film frame.
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=screenshot_zps5952d5ab.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/screenshot_zps5952d5ab.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br/>
I then use FlexColor, the software associated with the Imacon scanner to preview my film. Selecting within the image I then adjust color, preserve highlight and shadow detail and eventually save my photo as a TIFF file. For those interested in the technical size of these files, I am scanning my images at about 65% of their output capability: so they are 16x24" at 300 dpi, 190MB file.
<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/?action=view&current=scanfile_dust_zps62728962.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/ry_arthurs/scanfile_dust_zps62728962.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
Above you will see the file in its raw form, ie with dust, scratches and no color adjustment. I will then open the file in Photoshop and using various layers make adjustments to correct the image. In this particular image it looks like there is a fair amount of dust in the water around the canoes. I will look at my negative so see if this dust somehow was in the image before it was processed or if it just needs to be hit with more air or a cloth and re-scanned to avoid having to clean the digital file. <br/><br/>
It is my hope that you have a better understanding of my digital work flow and the effort that goes into processing these negatives. Sure, it's not as easy as taking a digital image and uploading it... but to me the advantage of shooting with film and scanning in this manner are well worth it. Over and out.

Although I have a wedding to attend in Upstate NY the following day I've decided I can't miss this event and the opportunity to meet all the publishers, printers, book designers and artists it attracts. If you are in the NYC area I strongly encourage you to check it out.<br/>

Scanning 50+ rolls of film, one frame at a time, is a slow process but I'm making huge progress and hoping to be done scanning in the next week. At that point I will be preparing all of my images (800-1,000) to print contact sheets to start editing. It is my hope to detail this process as I work this week to show you (my loyal readers) how I am making my book. Stay tuned as I begin the next phase of my project. <br/>

<b>PLEASE READ:</b>
A note about the posts and photos below- these digital images were taken by members of Team Lure of Labrador (Henry, Brent, Zach & Charlie) but <b>not</b> Ryan. Ryan's film photos are currently being scanned in preparation of his upcoming book. Ryan did however edit and arrange the photos in the posts. I just wanted to repeat this statement to avoid confusion.
