Sorry – my site was down for awhile. Not good!
Here’s my free advice:
Back up everything. Always.
Not just your hard-drives. Entire website, too.

PhotoLucida 2009

Gino — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:59:28 +0000

Another recent highlight was Photolucida in Portland, Oregon in April. I can’t even tell you how fun it was to hang out and sample local microbrews with a few old friends – and to meet so many talented photographers. It was inspiring to see such great work, and fun to show The Vintage Series: Scientific Inquiries" to curators, gallerists, and publishers. Special thanks to Aline Smithson for her very kind notice.

May ’09 Norway Show, Workshop & Road Trips

Gino — Tue, 12 May 2009 12:20:35 +0000

OK, I should be posting more often – and probably getting involved with Twitter and Facebook. Until I do, here’s an update on a few recent happenings:

Norwegian friends (and luminaries from the Oslo photo community!) joined my friend PÃ¥l and I for the opening of our “Vestiges of Industry” exhibition at Fotografiens Hus in Oslo (above). Special thanks to Morten LÃ¸berg, Carll Goodpasture, Arne Knudsen, and everyone else who helped us create the exhibition and celebrate the work.)

A really great group of students (and our friends Helge and Tom at StudioTechnika/Farvelabben) made the Oslo Digital Workshop a terrific experience.

Of course every trip to Norway is supplemented with a healthy dose of socializing ; ) My sincerest thanks to Tarand and Morten Krogvold for an amazing dinner at Brasserie France!

The next few day include a road trip in Norway to shoot new industrial images, followed by a brief stopover and shooting adventure in ICELAND with the crew from Mo i Rana! More soon…

September 2008 Oslo Workshop and Road Trip

Gino — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 01:12:54 +0000

This was the 9th time I’ve visited Norway in the last five years! My dear friend PÃ¥l Otnes and I had a great time teaching a sold out workshop at StudioTechnika / Farvelabben in Oslo – to an exceptionally talented and nice group.

Afterwards, PÃ¥l and I took a road trip to shoot a couple of abandoned industrial sites for our upcoming “Vestiges of Industry” exhibition at Fotografiens Hus in May 2009. I’m looking forward to posting more pictures, from both the workshop and the road trip, very soon.

Summer 2008

Gino — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 21:11:24 +0000

I must confess, leading workshops may be the best excuse in the world to travel, make new photographs – and new friends. I am so grateful to realize how many incredible people come to mind as I think about the past few months. Thank you all for your generosity – and thank you ICP & MMW.

The two classes I taught in June at the Maine Media Workshops were a delight, and Eleanor and Herbert Peters at the Thomaston Café very kindly extended the June exhibition of my landscape photographs an extra month, into August. Thank you to everyone who made it (and almost made it) to the opening in June!

New York in summer is also pretty great. The workshops at ICP were filled with amazing people! Returning to Maine to teach a third workshop in September was absolutely icing on the cake. Happy Solstice everyone!

The Forgiveness Book

Gino — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 02:20:15 +0000

My dear friend Jacqui Bishop invited me a number of years ago to create a series of black-and-white portraits and photo-collages to illustrate a second edition of her fantastically useful book “How To Forgive When You Don’t Know How.”

I’m pleased to announced that publication is complete, and the book is now available via www.innerkids.net — and hopefully soon thru Amazon.com, where copies of out-of-print copies of her books sell for collector’s edition prices…

Look for a second editon of another of Jacqui’s books: “How to Love Yourself When You Don’t Know How” (perhaps with a new set of photos by yours truly) sometime in the near future.

Sincere thanks to all our friends who acted as models!

2008 Digital Infrared Workshops

Gino — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:33:26 +0000

I’m very excited about what’s now possible in the magical realm of Digital Infrared. The seminar Fuji’s Brandon Remler and I did in January at at B&H was enthusiastically received, and we’ll be presenting a similar seminar, featuring Fuji’s factory-modified Is-Pro and IS-1digital infrared cameras, at SPE in Denver in March. I’ll also be leading a number of hands on in-depth 5-day infrared workshops in 2008.

(Check the “Teaching” menu at the top of the page for a detailed 2008 workshop schedule.)

Check out the two “infrared” entries below for more about infrared.

May ’07 in Norway

Gino — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 18:29:31 +0000

Norway in May was amazing, as usual. Great workshop, fantastic roadtrip to shoot industry in Sweden, and being in Oslo for the National Day on the 17th was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The exhibition of my landscape photographs at Fotografiens Hus Gallery in downtown Oslo was a success, and there’s talk of another in 2008.

Mastering Digital Black-and-White

Gino — Mon, 21 May 2007 17:06:06 +0000

My dear friend, master digital printmaker Amadou Diallo has just released his first book: Mastering Digital Black and White: A Photographer’s Guide to High Quality Black-and-White Imaging and Printing. The book covers everything you need to know, from resolution, to output, to aesthetics.

There’s even a dedicated website where you can download a sample chapter – which just so happens to feature an interview with yours truly ; ) Check it out!

Exhibition Press

Gino — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:22:53 +0000

I’m happy to report that my Exhibition and the Workshop PÃ¥l Otnes and I are presenting in Oslo are already receiving favorable attention from the photography press in Norway. Take a look at fotografi.no, the website for Norway’s best photo magazine.
