Seattle Public Library Has Camera Work Lucky ducks. I'm up in the Seattle Room at the central library right now and happened to run into a meeting of Seattle U's History of Photography class, which I found out is here to take a look at something I had no idea was here: A full set (more or less) of Camera Work—the quarterly photography magazine that Alfred Stieglitz printed from 1903 to 1917. Wow! Paul Strand's New York, published in Camera Work in 1917. This magazine was Stieglitz's mouthpiece and an extension of his world-famous gallery—Stieglitz being the man who more than any other single force established photography as a fine art. The magazine published serious essays about photography and art (by Gertrude Stein, Mina Loy, and others), interviews with artists including Matisse and Rodin, and photogravures by early modernists (Stieglitz, Steichen, Cameron, Strand). Now how am I supposed to meet this deadline?

Graphic Exchange - The blog of Mr Cup - graphic design, print, identity, products and more... This new deck by Joe White follow the Contraband one. You know Joe and his amazing detailed design as we work together on the (sold out) 2015 edition of the calendar and he designed the front cover. Every single playing card within the High Victorian deck was designed from scratch - even the Aces, Jokers, and court cards exude the grand excess of ornamentation quintessential to the Victorian era. Antler is a deck designed by Tom Lane, who also creates this year edition of the front cover of the letterpress calendar! I contact Jeff Trish as I love his design of this deck, and I am pleased to say he participates in this year edition of the calendar too! As both Tom Lane and Jeff Trish participate in this year calendar I propose you 2 packs with the calendar (Deluxe or Normal) and their decks.

Graphic Arts: Photography Archives Alfred Bush writes, “Ulli Steltzer was a Gerrman born photographer who came to Princeton in the 1960s and kept a studio on Tulane Street, where she photographed most the Princeton’s famous and not so famous for many years. With a keen social conscience, in the late 1960s she made photographic forays into the American south, coming back with images to document the plight of the black population there under segregation. These comprise the photographs now in the Graphic Arts Division, the gift of Bill Scheide, a good friend of Ulli.” Mr. “Ulli subsequently moved to British Columbia and continued her photography among the native people in that area.
