A selection of sketch book pages and paintings from recent Santa Barbara arrival Maddie J. Beautiful work. Maddie also curates the photography blog The Magic Bus. My personal favorite of her illustrations “my tear ducts are in my heart”:
Analog <---> Digital
alien landscapes from Florian Maier-Aichen that marry analog and digital photography:
He embraces difficult techniques, chooses equipment that produces accidents such as light leaks and double exposures, and uses computer enhancements to introduce imperfections and illogical elements into images that paradoxically “feel” visually right, though they are factually wrong. Often employing an elevated viewpoint (the objective but haunting “God’s-eye view” of aerial photography and satellite imaging), Maier-Aichen creates idealized, painterly landscapes that function like old postcards… Looking backwards for his influences, Maier-Aichen often reenacts or pays homage to the work of the pioneer photographers of the nineteenth century, sometimes even remaking their subject matter from their original standpoints. Always experimenting, he marries digital technologies with traditional processes and films (black-and-white, color, infrared, and tricolor), restoring and reinvigorating the artistry and alchemy of early photography – PBS’s Art:21

I’m particularly interested in the ‘alienation’ aspects of this film. How making your own (hastly prepared) craft and living off the grid, even for just a few days can psychologically cut you off from society. but maybe i’m reading too far into the synopsis above. either way, stoked to see this film, especially for its (non-surfcore mainstreamy) examination of all the juicy breaks in the SD area.
