POLAROID 600 PEPSI INSTANT FILM CAMERA

Posted on 2021-11-01

Did this just drop out of your mid-’90s Pepsi Stuff catalog? It may as well have. Built using refurbished internal components—sourced directly from vintage Polaroid instant cameras made in the 1980s and ‘90s—and wrapped in a freshly molded blue exterior designed to the exact same specifications as the original Polaroid 600 camera bodies, the Polaroid 600 Pepsi camera features a brand new design that celebrates the joy of Pepsi’s iconic branding from years past. You gotta have it!

All you need is a pack of Polaroid 600 film (sold separately) and you’ll be able to experience instant photography at its most authentic — on an original Polaroid vintage camera. This is a new custom camera built from refurbished, vintage Polaroid internal components housed in a newly-molded exterior — designed and built by Retrospekt and officially licensed by Polaroid and Pepsi.

OZIER MUHAMMAD – EVENTS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

Posted on 2021-10-25

Ozier Muhammad (b. 1950) is a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist from Chicago who has documented the cultural events of black citizens across the world for over four decades. Our exhibition showcases Muhammad’s dedication to utilizing photography as a truth telling medium that explores racial issues throughout society and sheds light on the daily joys and strife of the African and African American communities.

Muhammad is the grandson of Nation of Islam Founder Elijah Muhammad who mentored popular figures of the civil rights movement including Malcom X and Muhammad Ali. During Muhammad’s childhood he was surrounded by other influential figures such as Gordon Parks and Roy DeCarava. Parks was the first African American photographer for Life magazine and DeCarava is one of the most celebrated photographers of the 20th century. Seeing photographs by Parks and DeCarava peaked Muhammad’s interest and inspired him to pursue a career in photojournalism.

PLANET EARTH

Posted on 2021-10-25

Throughout the history of photography, artists have explored the vast terrains of our planet Earth, building a profound pictorial legacy on our collective understanding of the natural world. Photography can capture worlds we know and those we don’t, recording the planet’s diverse and dynamic topography. The mystery and grandeur of the natural environment, coupled with the photographer’s poetic capacity to capture the landscape’s arresting scenery, ultimately showcases the planet’s myriad dimensions and infinite beauty. Stephen Wilkes, Andre Lichtenberg, Francesca Piqueras, Nick Brandt, and Brett Weston’s works detail our natural world, from stunning visual panoramas to abstracted, massive landforms. These photographs record the Earth’s fascinating geography as well as the grandeur and scale of the environment.

Opposite – Francesca Piqueras, Marbre 3, Italy

BRIGITTE CARNOCHAN – STILL BEAUTY

Posted on 2021-10-25

Beauty had a struggle to survive the latter quarter of the 20th century. Artists who nonetheless found creative energy in the redemptive power of beauty were considered passé at best and patronized at worst. The “love of all the truly precious things” to which Simone Weil refers found no favor in the art establishment. Fortunately, the strength of beauty is such that-elusive and perhaps even undefinable-it has survived in all its mystery.

My own goal in photography is to create beauty in my images compelling enough to establish its own legitimacy-whether beauty as a concept is in or out of fashion. I find a ramble around my garden-in a good season or a bad-to be deeply satisfying. There’s something about the patterns and designs-even of barren branches-that is inherently beautiful. It lifts my spirits to choose a bouquet, especially variegated and with oddities-maybe a few weeds-among the flowers and bushes I’ve planted over the years. The return of old favorites and the surprising newness of annual blossoms inspire me to photograph.
