George Tice show, Berman Art Museum

This evening, a professional photographer named George Tice came to the Berman Art Museum to discuss the ongoing show of his work. All of his black and white photos were really impressive. One of the benefits to black and white photographs is that rather than having the quality of pixelation that a picture would have in a digital medium, the resolution of the picture is much stronger. This makes it so that the film photographs can capture much more detail than what could be captured with a digital picture.

One of the things that I thought was interesting that George Tice spoke at length about was that the film he used was a lot bigger than the 30 mm film that we will be using in this class. This made it so that he was able to make his pictures a lot larger than we would be able to do.

Another thing that he talked about was the amount of time that he left his photographs exposed to light. As we talked in class on Monday, exposure times vary for different mediums and different amounts of light. Some of his photographs were taken at sunset, sunrise, or even at night. Therefore, he needed to keep the camera shutter open for much longer than if he took photographs during the day.
