return of the polat

yes, yes, yes. once again it was time for a new, fresh photography-workshop under the supervision of the famous ahmet polat (he's going to exhibit in the moma in new york 2012. or at least he said so...).
i liked the workshop from the last year really much, because we were able to choose our own topic and try out new things, and ahmet helped us by saying helpful stuff. this time it was pretty much the same, but we should go for "necessity" and "authorship". the only bad thing was, that we were so many people and ahmet did not have so much time for inividual talk. but i still could try around a bit and photographed analog with my medium format camera, which i did not use for my studies up to now. it was a good experience, and i learned a lot about photographing analog with medium format, especially, that i should not let the negatives get developed at "procolour" in enschede. they looked screwed afterwards. i had planned to also make the prints analog aswell, but i couldn't, because they were so dirty and full of dust after having given them into the hands of those pro-idiots. i had to scan them and photoshop most of the dust out. took quite a while. but i did not remove all, so you can still see it's taken analog.
the great thing about scanning them is the huge quality. the scanner in the aki makes up to 9000 dpi, and that makes a ridiculously high resoluted picture. i scanned mine with 4000dpi and got an 8538x8538 pixel picture, which is 200mb large in tiff format. and it still is incredily sharp, because the camera isn't that bad. with a hasselblad or mamiya you can shurely get great results.
my idea after having talked with ahmet about it was to photograph different forms of necessity with symbolic pictures. we should then pick one of ours to be printed A1 and be exhibited with the others. i picked the top one, because i really like the picture, and i can still make a nice series from the others because they match each other pretty good i think. i'll take some more similar pictures to make a bit longer series than just two. already got some ideas...
