Collab Updates and News
2-Bit Clubhouse
This week Hot Pink Bulb restarts the “2-Bit Clubhouse” Game Boy Collaboration and shares many ways for users to contribute (Game Boy, emulators or browser-based 2-bit cameras). Local legend eeenmachine comes out swinging with his tri-color minimalists and abstracts.
Holga vs. Diana
Ezo reminds us that all submissions for the Holga vs. Diana Collaboration need to be in by the end of the month. Let’s finish out the challenge strong!
Post a Mirror Selfie Collaboration
Joining what has become an epic 17-month collaboration, new server member revver shares a convex mirror selfie to keep the challenge going. We look forward to seeing what sort of creative selfies you can contribute!
Gallery Gems
A highlight of each member who contributed to the #Gallery channel this week. To see your work featured here, we ask you to create a new post in the #Gallery channel and show us what you’re currently working on. Thanks to all those who contribute to building this community each week. 💜
“Woodland wanders” by AON
This week AON shares a wonderful walk in the woods while exploring the area for a Polaroid project in their gallery, “Woodland wanders”.
“This is ART now” by blue squares
In this project, blue squares has turned the everyday blight on the exterior of a local business into art by attaching a custom gallery placard. This could make for a wonderful larger challenge.
“6×6 Travels” by Dave M
Dave M explores some tasteful double exposures and other pairings in this gallery of 6×6 frames from travels last week. A great way to explore the theme of doubles on film.
“18.12.2024: Black and White” by Emre T.
In this collection, Emre takes a walk in black and white, showing hot spots around Istanbul, life in the arts, and portraits from his daily life. This week, Emre also shared in the #inspo-and-books channel a Zoom conference with a Chinese artist named Ying Ye, who explores the lives of immigrants told with the metaphor of the life of soybeans through her art of cooking in her project, “Burning the Midnight Oil”.
“Some things I liked, 11/10-11/16” by Ezo
If you’re looking for a moment to pause and enjoy the things around you, this is a perfect place. Ezo shares some things they liked during the week which, to this observer, bring about a state of tranquility.
“Views from a short work trip to Riyadh” by fabri
With this showing, fabri brings out the beautiful nature of Portra 160 on Mamiya 6MF during their travels to Riyadh.
“Museum of Liverpool” by Hot Pink Bulb
Hot Pink restarts their custom Game Boy camera project with the challenge of “collecting” museums and galleries. Check out the Collaboration section below for more information about the Game Boy challenge!
“More Infrared Shenanigans” by kenberry_krunch
Pop into another world with the full-spectrum converted Lumix G3 by kenberry_krunch. These photos capture a surreal look at a tranquil location in shifted color and black and white Inrared.
“The Drunken Railroad” by lil uzi introvert
In Western Croatia a curvy railroad track lends itself to an enjoyable outing for lil uzi introvert and friends to explore with a Nikon F65 shot with Kodak Gold.
“First color home development” by Mymmy
Captured over the weekend, Mymmy sets out to explore using a light meter and calculating reciprocity failure on Ektar 100 with a Fuji GW690ii. These street shots really spoke to me in their raw nature showing the lesser photographed areas of town.
“Paris People” by Nina
Nina brings us some emotive street captures of the people going about their day in Paris. The colors, compositions and tones add a dramatic underlying story that captivate the eye.
“21 Pilots Concert” by praetor
When no cameras are allowed, praetor turns to the iPhone to get experimental in black and white during this live performance. Shades of tonality and composition win the day here.
“Holga x sheorun x kitingmare” by Marius & sheorun
Sharing a roll of 120 Cinestill 800T, Marius and sheorun divide the work at an angle between them. With a custom mask, the opportunity for surprising matchups incites the inquisitive mind.
“181 Fremont” by TR.photo
Sharing a couple photos of this address, TR.photo shows a great way to frame architectural shots downtown.
“Louisiana travels with HP5+” by Will A.B.
Closing out the gallery submissions this week, Will A.B. submits a lovely set of black and white photos from the Pelican State. Compositions tell stories by themselves, and this collection does great work at weaving that narrative.
