Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
It’s one thing to post your photography online.
It’s another to thoughtfully dish in detail how a work is captured in a The Daybooks of Edward Weston-esque fashion.
Mark Lipczynski does just that in his Photography 101 blog. Along with showcasing selected images from his commercial and editorial shoots, the local shutterbug — who shot his first picture on a Kodak 126 Instamatic film camera — tells a little tale on each image in well-organized stream of consciousness.
He also catalogs all sorts of pertinent technical data that photo geeks will eat up. (The above photo, for instance, was handheld at 1/40, f8 using a Canon 5D MKII and a Canon 50mm f1.8 AF lens.)
If you want to see Lipczynski’s work in person, he’s currently featuring some of his non-commercial shots at Practical Art in the “Wings” solo exhibition. The show is unique because Lipczynski captured each image using toy cameras and out-of-date film.
