  • Hey Photographers, Sukle Wants Your Not-So-Stock Stock Photos

    May 1st, 2013 / Comments (2)

    Imagine a book full of images of sound. With every page, each image conjures up a specific sound in your imagination. Popcorn popping, a pinball machine on full tilt, birds beating their wings, a baby cooing. These are sounds we all know, because we have heard them all our lives. Now imagine giving this book to someone who has lost their hearing and just needs a little convincing to go see a doctor and learn how to get their hearing back. Cool, right? The crazy part is that Sukle's client can actually help them hear these things again. It’s called science and it’s complicated and stuff so don’t worry about that part.

    Sukle is seeking images of sound and that’s where you come in.

    If you want in on this, dig deep into your archives and send them your best shots of images of sound. Sounds that are so appealing they will make a deaf person want to hear again. Interpret that thought in your own way.

    STYLE MATTERS A LOT
    The photography style is very important. Here’s what they'relooking for:
    • poetic, romantic, beautiful, dreamy
    • grungy, raw, real
    • personal, unique, candid, not posed
    • more fine art than commercial
    • editorial style could also work
    • studio photography is a possibility if the subject matter is specifically about sound

    If you would like to see a sample of the kind of photos they’re looking for, send an email to soundphotobook@gmail.com. Youll receive a pdf of sample images that fit their subject matter and style criteria.

    HOW TO SUBMIT: Email low res jpegs (under 2Mb) to soundphotobook@gmail.com.

    DEADLINE: Please submit as soon as possible, but no later than May 10.

    If Sukle chooses your image(s), they’ll contact you via email to discuss compensation.

    Thank you in advance for helping them make this book a worthy tribute to the world of hearing.

  • #ShitToHit: Friday, May 3 - John Fellows “Every Here Has A There” @ Black Book Gallery

    May 1st, 2013 / Comments (1)

    Black Book Gallery is pleased to announce “Every Here Has A There”, new works by Colorado-based artist John Fellows, in what will be his second solo exhibition at the gallery. Fellows’ signature “contemporary folk” style weaves together layers of found paper, graphic block prints and handwritten text to create an old time, hands-on feel. The artist collects a variety of found paper, maps and books dating from the 1880’s to the present to create unique linoleum carving collages that while at the very base reflect his personal experiences, are more like a brief glimpse into another person’s story.

    For this new body of work, John once again draws inspiration from his recent travels to the Swiss and French Alps, Sayulita and Baja, Mexico as well as the mountains of his home state of Colorado. Grizzled mountain men, salty sailors, stormy seas and rugged mountains layered on used nautical charts and topographic maps draw the viewer in and hopefully trigger memories of their own past travels and experiences.

    John Fellows, "Every Here Has A There"
    Opening Reception:
    Friday, May 3rd, 2013, 6pm-11pm
    Open to the public, Artist in attendance
    Black Book Gallery, 555 Santa Fe Dr., Denver

    April 30th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    These German boots are made for walking — and now they'll be walking all over the U.S, thanks to the new branded and US ecommerce site launched by VOLTAGE.

    Hanwag has been making superior hiking boots and footwear in Bavaria for more than 90 years. Coming from a family of shoemakers, many of these boots are still crafted in Vierkirchen and many models are still built by hand. The website features rich content, highlighting the brand's history, boot making process, unique sole features and meticulous craftsmanship.

    Nice work, VOLTAGE. Visit the site at: www.HanWag.com.
