i can understand people sympathizing with rage and the rest of the people

involved on the list, but i don't see much sense in sitting around bashing

the guy about it. he obviously has some shit going on, none of which any

of us are privy too, so...yea it sucks, mostly for rage, but there's not much

any of us can do about it.

HOWEVER...seeing that many people really wanted to be down on this and couldn't, as most of you know, there is a thread on photography in untitled, started, bumped

and regularly awesomed up by rage himself, along with a bunch of other

super talented 12oz cats. i don't see why there should be any excuse not

to go out and experiment with polaroids and photography yourselves and

share your own photo blackbook compositions there. perhaps there could

be some sort of deadline set for a new thread where anyone can contribute

based on some basic guidelines...it's worked for other themed threads, i don't

see why it can't for this as well. no, it's not as cool, but shit, it's better than

nothin'.

I wonder if we could start something like this over, but make it more general. Open format photography passaround book. Use your polaroids, your MF, your digital camera, a homemade pinhole, whatever the hell you've got that you can make prints from. You're responsible for getting your own prints made in a timely fashion, and that's it. 8x10s are cheap as hell at Costco / Walmart if you don't have a photo printer. Shipping is pretty cheap through media mailer, just a book.

 

Rage, I know you put up a bunch of money the last time and got screwed. I can't spend as much or loan equipment, but I'll buy a good hardbound drawing book and get it started and sent to you if you still feel like keeping the list of people in order.

 

Let me know if anyone is interested.

 

yes, yes, i think this new project should get started and i think it needs a stop in chinatown (me). I would very much like to be a part of this.

Sorry to hear it Rage. I completely understand, losing your favorite camera is like losing your baby.

 

Lets all just hope that PantsOnFire and the PPA somehow turn out to be okay. And in the meantime, POIESIS makes a good point...with properly channelled efforts, all of us photography/Ch.0 cats could be making the photography thread the hottest shit on the Ounce. Let's each send some warm wishes and a dollar to Rage for everything he's done for us already, and move on.

The photography thread already IS the hottest shit on the Ounce. Where have you been?

 

Word.

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't mind making another book.

And I do like the idea of making a Non-Polaroid book.

 

Maybe it will go faster this time.

AND, if we go with a regular pass around, I won't have to throw in a camera, film, or accessories.

Just a book and instructions.

 

Shall we do this?

not to shit on everyone's parade who is getting hyped up for a passaround, but they rarely work. The first passaround was a very legit group of 10 people, and even with just 10 of us it still took over a year. The more people you have, the longer its going to take and the higher the chance is of it either getting backed up with someone or disappearing, be it through mail or just someone losing it. Now i'm not trying to say you shouldn't do another passaround, i'm just saying there are a lot of complications to think about. Hell, look at the postcard exchange projects and see how many people fell through on those because they were busy/lazy/something came up/etc.

I know the chance of success is pretty low, but hell, at least we can give it a shot again, and if everybody scans or takes pictures of it along the way we'll at least have the record.

 

I'm only volunteering to start it and buy a blank book, then send along to Rage or whoever feels like managing getting it sent around. It should have less chance of getting destroyed since it's just a book. I'd say ship it cheaply, don't worry about anything but delivery confirmation.

 

Rage, PM me so we can figure out what format this should be in and whatnot, and we can start a new thread. I've got to take a nap before Job #2 today.

Damn, thats some shady shit...what do you plan on doing next? are you gonna make a ppav2 PART2? or anything like that???

 

Funny you mention that.

I was thinking of making a PPAv2.1

Same list as Round 2 again, but without MisPantalones.

 

Only thing is, I lost my best camera and accessories with the recent PPAv2.

 

I'm sure as hell not fronting my own cash again for a new project.

Just to have some fuckwad lose it all.

 

 

 

 

saraday, yes I've noticed him online (AIM).

I send him IM's and he simply signs off.

Not cool.

[/b]

 

 

rage, get at me, ill split it with you, i want to be in the ppa and i want another one to be around there. Pm me about it. we'll discuss

 

 

On another note, i hate a passaround going, it went to japan with a friend, had som ereally good 12oz heads in it, and some friends of mine. Zephyr even, it was at a show, given to someone to put something it, BAM! gone....anyone see it let me know

It's true, they are hard to get finished and it did take almost exactly a year to finish the first one.

 

I think we should just keep doing them with the original line-up. Elitism at it's finest.

 

 

haha...word. I'm down...and I'm credible.

 

I was out all day yesterday shooting a medium format camera with a polaroid back. hopefully I'll have something to post by the end of the week. I'm trying out emulsion transfers.

 

sorry to hear about the demise of v2.0 rage.

Word up... I had 2 books fail miserably and they were going to people that I've know for something like 10 years. Fuckers. People sleep on these things and then they get forgotten. What's worse is when you realize that the majority of people on the list aren't half as into it as you are....

 

I'm always down to give these things another go, but I hate half-assed effort. If you're not going to even try... what the fuck?

 

PM me if you're looking for competent participation.
