Current Art Events


Chase Jarvis Road Tests Video on Nikon D7000. This is a pretty short article about how Nikon gave photographer Chase Jarvis their new D7000 before it has been released to the public to test. I think it is awesome that he was offered to test drive a camera that isn't even on the market. The majority of the article is a behind the scenes video of him and a group of friends and people he works with going on a road trip to test the camera. I'm also really glad I saw this article because I had never heard of Chase and he has some really awesome photography.

Kodak Introduces New Professional Portra 400 Film. Awesome! Its so good to know that film is still being made and different kinds are still being invented. The film is said to have the finest grain of any 400 speed film. Also, that your portraits would look "sexy smooth". It will take the place of Portra 400 VC and 400 NC. The film will be available in October of this year. http://www.pdngearguide.com/gearguide/content_display/news/e3i776b1668d474ee36af28a3d8da0881d3

Photokina 2010 Opening Report. Oh man. It would be so awesome if we could go to Photokina. This article is just an overview of the first day of the convention and some of the new products and cameras that are being unveiled. I have actually never heard of this convention until I was looking through photography news websites.

Five Photojournalists Win Getty Images' Latest Grants. This is so cool. When I was first learning about photography, my teacher taught us how to have a more journalistic style and I have always been interested in photo essays and such. The winners of this competition got 20,000 grants to pursue their photo journalism projects, which is so amazing. Although, this does make me understand more how Vaughn was telling us how the gap between good photographers and great photographers lengthens when the great ones begin winning contests. I will definitely be looking up the photographers who won this contest.
