My name is Hudson Lines and I'm on the internet:
Pablo Inirio is the darkroom printer for Magnum Photos in NY. For some photographers, mostly the older ones, Magnum still prints in this old school, analog way. Here’s a twitpic of Inirio in his modest darkroom.
He’s worked at Magnum for the past 18 years or so. Once I had the pleasure to meet him in the darkroom and see some of these test prints like the one above. The smell of the chemicals instantly took me back to the make-shift darkroom we set up in our bathroom growing up. I remember the enlarger was set precariously on the sink, the trays of chemicals arranged in the shower, and a towel wedged under the doorway. Maybe that’s one reason I like these test prints.
I don’t know if Pablo Inirio saves them, or if he has any rights associated, but to me these test prints, with +/- exposure notes, are works of art. 20x200?

I have known about Professor Longhair for a while thanks to my friend Jacques, but I never knew about this track Big Chief. Ridiculous! Ahh…New Orleans.
BBC 4: Krautrock – The Rebirth of Germany, Part 1 of 6
“Between 1968 and 1977 bands like Neu!, Can, Faust and Kraftwerk would look beyond western rock and roll to create some of the most original and uncompromising music ever heard… They shared one common goal – a forward-looking desire to transcend Germany’s gruesome past – but that didn’t stop the music press in war-obsessed Britain from calling them Krautrock.” (via)
Woah, this is so good.

high-res photoOk, here’s how Rand promotes our photography show. A slightly different take than mine…
from randallopry:
Friday is the opening for a joint photo exhibit with my brother Hudson in Athens, Ga at White Tiger Gourmet. The photos are all medium format pictures that we have been taking with Holga or Ikonoflex in the last year or so. The opening is Friday night at 6pm and I’ll bring some drinks and some music. If you can’t make it to the opening on Friday night or live in another city, check out our website. http://www.morninggravy.com
I’m having a photography exhibit with my brother Rand at the White Tiger in Athens, GA. It’s an exhibit of our medium format photography shot with Holga or Zeiss Ikonoflex cameras.
