“The only reason we don’t open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don’t feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else’s eyes.”

“If you love a person, you say to that person, ‘Look, I love you, whatever that may be. I’ve seen quite a bit of it and I know there’s lots that I haven’t seen, but still it’s you and I want you to be what you want to be. And I won’t be happy if I’ve got you in a cage. You’d be a bird without song.’”

photojojo:

Phillip Stearns electrocutes unexposed instant film with 15,000 volts.

He also pours various household chemicals (like bleach) onto the prints to make the colors and corrosion you see. The process is about as beautiful as the end result. You can watch how it’s done here.

We asked Phillip a few questions about his process:

What inspired you to apply electricity to film as opposed to just chemicals?

My explorations were guided most by what materials I had available. A big batch of this instant color film was being thrown out, presumably by a photographer in my building transitioning out of analog film. Two years ago, I received a batch of neon tubes and high voltage ballasts to drive them. After tinkering with interrupting the process of developing the film (after exposing to light) and discovering the painterly qualities such physical manipulations produced, I started to think about how else I work with the film.

Through experimenting with digital cameras a couple of years prior to these experiments in film, I became aware of Hiroshi Suigimoto’s work of subjecting photopaper to electric discharges and thought that I could try something similar with the neon ballasts and the color film itself.

How did you go about making sure your process was actually safe to do?

I caution, again, this is not safe. No one should try this on their own, unless assisted by a qualified electrician trained in dealing with high voltages, and a physician. Death by electrocution is quite real.

Any other tips or comments you have for photographers who want to explore analog or digital experiments?

Look at what you have around you. Use it differently. Look for potentials that exist just beyond, hidden within the normally prescribed perception of things. Play, but be smart about it. Be safe.

Shoshin (初心)

is a concept in Zen Buddhism meaning “beginner’s mind”. It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying a subject, even when studying at an advanced level, just as a beginner in that subject would.

CAFE PAINTING

Website: http://www.paintlounge.ca/

This is a cute lounge/cafe/ painting bundle for people to go to. Found it online and thought it was an amazing idea!

Story:

In 2010, Samantha left her salaried job to pursue her passion – to create art for everyone and called the concept, ‘social painting’.

She wanted to create a social atmosphere for those who don’t normally paint, to get back to what they loved when they were young, and rediscover how awesome fun painting still is!

The first store was created in Markham, a suburb north of Toronto in October 2010. Tried, tested, and true, Paintlounge is expanding to include a second location in the heart of Toronto!
