small_districtlab_360.jpg

Recently I had the opportunity to meet Ignacio Gurruchaga of District Lab / in-dependent at one of our events here in our Miami location. Ignacio is both a photographer and high-end printmaker/finisher. His lab has a large 50″ lightjet and specializes in museum quality acrylic mounting by appointment only. In the front of his lab he has a gallery space where he hold exhibits for photographers he prints for. In the back of his space is his lab. On all of the walls you will see examples of work he has produced and also a collection of prints that were generated by old negatives of various formats and glass plates. Most of these were images of Cuba from many years ago. It was like walking through a museum.

 

in-dependent.com websiteOne project that caught my attention was one that he did for Art Basel this year . He took a 360 degree pano of where his is lab located to capture all of what goes on around it. He has a few neighboring business (an auto body shop and concrete plant to name afew) and a homeless man. This one particular pano (as pictured) is comprised of 26-P45 files stitched together. Once this file was created he printed out 26 – 50″x120″ panels and placed them in the interior of his exhibition space , called in-dependent.It is truly breathtaking the amount of detail and of course the subject mater that captures the personalities of the people and the characteristics of the businesses.

One final note is that this was all produced within a few days from capture to print.

You can view a smaller copy of this pano that is on display at our Miami offices.

For more information regarding this print or other services that Ignacio offers please email him at IG@disctrictlab.com and check out in-dependent.com .

Thank you for the print Ignacio.

Shooting with Mamiya 645AFDII & P30+

April 21, 2008 | Atlanta, Tips & Tech

Over the weekend I was shooting for an old client of mine.  We were shooting small products for their catalog and web.  We were cooking through the shoot when we came to a group of 10 products that were all similar shape, but different colors.  I had my assistant just quickly drop and I would shoot away.  I started quickly popping through them, but at the end of the 10 items, realized that my C1 Pro had shut down.  I was amazed that all I did was re-launch my software and watched my files pop in to C1 Pro.  I didn’t loose any of the shots!

Multipop Device works with Hasselblad H1, H2

April 8, 2008 | Doug, Tips & Tech

At a customer’s request I checked to see if our Multi-Strobe-Pop device would work with the Hasselblad H1/H2 body. In short, this setup will work if you 1) tape over the communication pins on the digital back and 2) disable”Magazine Exposure Lock” (custom option #6, or #11 depending on firmware, look for the name “Magazine Exposure Lock”) on the body. More details after the jump.

Mac Computer Performance

April 3, 2008 | Doug, Tips & Tech

I came across this digest of mac computer benchmarks today. For the uninitiated the benchmark used here was GeekBench which measures raw processing and memory power. Hard drive speed, graphics card performance, and other factors which come into play in the real world are not taken into account with this benchmark, so for instance the MacBookPro and MacBook score similarly even though real world performance may differ. Even so, this provides a useful point of reference which will correspond best to the speed a computer can process raw files to TIFFs.
