With works collected from the past two years Justin Poulsen and I have finally finished assembly of my first architecture portfolio and the first portfolio that's being presented as a representation of the combined output of more than just myself. The samples contained within were all shot on 4x5 film and scanned with either the Microtek Artixscan M1 or with the Aztek DPL-driven Howtek Scanmaster 4500 drum scanner on a Horseman LE, Sinar X, Linhof Technikardan 45s, or a [jade green!] Toyo VX125 through lenses like the Calumet Caltar-II N 75mm F/4.5, the Schneider Super-Angulon XL 72mm F/5.6, and the Calumet Caltar-II S 135mm F/5.6. I have more details to discuss later but most of what I would discuss in a blog entry is already contained in the portfolio. Download a web-sized version here. The portfolio was designed for print presentation and currently one such copy exists, printed on Moab Entrada 190gsm bright white double-sided using the Epson Stylus Pro 9900 and bound in a Pina Zangaro 11x17" landscape oriented "Vista" post-bound album. If you would like to see the hard copy please contact Justin if you're in Calgary or elsewhere in southern Alberta or myself for Edmonton or anywhere else.

This image is a low resolution rasterization of the opening spread of the portfolio. See below for the full text from this spread. And be sure to check out the downloadable PDF version. I assure you that it's all buildings and no more photos of us.

These black plasticized mail tubes extend from 28 to 36" and seal easily with tape or a shipping label. Shippers Supply wants over $3 per basic white paper tube including end caps. $2.25ea or $2ea in quantities of 25 or more.

A shot of Corey's setup. Looks like three Norman IL2500 heads driven by a Norman D24r power pack with standard reflectors and spot grids plus a Chimera Medium video soft box with 20degree Lighttools Soft Egg Crate. A vacuum cleaner serves as a gobo to texture the background light cast onto a Savage Studio Grey paper backdrop. Foreground light provided by a silver reflector.

They're here!

I wasn't expecting this packaging. Die cut multi-fold outside that's printed with a spot colour and a silver foil.

Included within is a window sticker, some multi-part post card thing and some detailed instructions.

This time RFID-equipped wrist bands are included with the shipped package.
