It has been announced that contemporary daguerreotypist Mike Robinson is on the list of speakers at the f295 Annual Symposium. F295 is an organization that focuses on “the art of lensless imaging and the craft of alternative photographic processes.” The symposium will be held in Pittsburgh, PA from 4/26/07 – 4/29/07.
This is, incidentally, the same event that I wrote about here but I now have a great deal more information to share.
If you’re an alternative process photography buff, you might be interested in the symposium’s cast of characters. The list of confirmed speakers so far includes:
- Alan Greene on Primitive Photography
- Barbara Ess on Reality, Representation and Lo-Fi Image-Making
- Craig Barber on Photography and Memory
- Jo Babcock on Contemporary Pinhole Photography and it’s Place in Photographic History
- Mike Robinson on The Daguerreotype: Past, Present & Perfect
- Patricia Katchur on The Renaissance in Alternative and Historic Photographic Processes
- Terry King on Retro-Invention: A Revolution in Gold and Blue
-Jonathan
hi Jon, thanks for posting this. it’s important to note that this isn’t necessarily an ‘annual’ event. for now it’s just 2007…. though, i’m not ruling out doing it again….
