If you think that the whole world has gone digital, you should know that there are a growing number of image-maker’s who want to play with the photography of old. For them, there is a renewed interest in all that was photography before digital. This is especially true in the case of younger photographers who want to explore the possibilities of early methods and who have a desire to penetrate the history in order to understand the full spectrum of photographic possibilities. From early processes such as Albumen, Daguerreotype, Calotype and Collodion to lensless photography such as pinhole and zone-plate as well as digital methods, the main interest of f295 is to preserve and explore the entire history of photographic imaging.

The history of photography provides a much larger source for image creation possibilities. There is so much more to photography than Digital. f295 is a look at those Alternatives.

The 2011 F295 Symposium: Further Explorations on the Idea of a 21st Century Photography, will be held in Pittsburgh PA USA from June 2-5, 2011. The opening reception, lectures, and round-table discussion are held in association with the Center for Arts in Society at Carnegie Mellon University and the workshops are held in association with Pittsburgh Filmmakers. The event will also feature an industry trade show, portfolio sharing event, 2 free photo walkabouts, and much more!!
