The Darlow Report

4/16/09

Spring is in the air, and it seems as though there is no shortage of  
photo events, exhibitions and other photo-related happenings...happening. In 
this edition, I link to a recent article that I wrote about printer RIPs, 
talk about an upcoming festival in NYC, suggest a website, and 
mention some upcoming workshops.
 
Recent Article on Printer RIPs
I recently wrote an article about RIPs (and products that are similar  
to RIPs) for Professional Photographer magazine. They posted the  
article in its entirety here:

rips-1-1.html
 
After looking closely at all of them, I was surprised to see how many  
features many of the RIPs have added over the years.

New York Photography Festival Returns to DUMBO
Last year I covered the NYPH inaugural for my website/blog, The  
Imaging Buffet. I thought that the event was fantastic and in many  
ways, it reminded me of Les Rencontres d'Arles, which I had the honor  
of presenting at in 2006 (the topic was fine-art inkjet printing).  
The work at the New York Photography Festival 2008 was very diverse,  
well presented, and the talks/presentations were excellent.
 
Below is a link to my show coverage of NYPH08:

This year, like last, there will be Portfolio Reviews, a Gala Awards  
Ceremony, both "Main" and "Satellite" Exhibitions, Parties, and much  
more.
 
In addition, the show: "New Visionaires 2008" (a printed  
exhibition showing the works of last year’s New York Photo Awards  
2008 Winners and Honorable Mentions) will be hung in the Tobacco  
Warehouse, as part of the upcoming New York Photo Festival 2009.

Also, don't miss the Review Pavilion Masterclass Workshops (they look  
impressive):

Quick Website Suggestion-www.jgsinc.org



I recently looked through the incredible archives online at  
www.jgsinc.org. The variety of work from hundreds of artists on the  
site (located under "The Collection") is simply incredible.
 
The Joy of Giving Something, Inc. (JGS) is a not-for-profit  
corporation dedicated to encouraging aesthetic reflection about  
present realities and future possibilities.

Enjoy!
