Un dos tres...Mambo...un dos tres...Mambo ah ah ah cha cha cha...Mambo
A stream of consciousness, a true satirical-postmodern zibaldone mixing Ventennio slogans (The Italian Fascist Era), pop refrains, Dante (The Fater of Italian Language) quotes ("o voi ch'avete li 'ntelletti sani..."), Petrolini (1884–1936, The Great satirical italian actor of the 1930s who mocked the solemn rhetoric and superficial snobbery of his era through caricatures like Gastone and Nerone), and a sacrosanct technical obsession for the photographic medium....continue...

Amerika (k as killer) way...
Every now and then, you have to bring yourself down to the level of ordinary madness of normal people who normally... And recommend, nonetheless, a typical Yankee whose approach is worth a video-listen, if you please—since there are insights that are anything but second-hand for those who, naturally, still practice photography with science, yes, but also with heart... and above all, guts.

Ps. I wrote him...very time I watch her videos, I can’t help but smile. I smile at that classic American madness :) of living in absolute Nothingness and thinking it can be exported as a universal standard. Infamous characters, to put it mildly. Everything modern photography claims to be seems traceable to that "Amerika "with a k of killer)" way of life. Absolute madness. Yet, despite all that, the book she cites is intriguing—though buying it on Amazon costs a fortune, around 150 Euros, which is way too much.
Be that as it may, I appreciate her madness when she turns all those "talks" toward Canon printers. Beautiful machines. I print as an "artist" on the Pro 200 simply for the brilliance of its dye inks. That's all folks.

Excalibur...
That a great piece of narrative...a day an little sketch of the water fountain—where a certain acquaintance, a hunter and off-roader, stops at a spring to quench his thirst, not before having left his little camera on the stone edge of the fountain, I not remembering if it was a classic cell-phone for taking pictures or one of those pocketable "creatures," a Point&Shot let us say, and long story short, his reminder slips into the fountain pool end of the story. Everything he had stored (once upon a time, a memory of life, there was the "Time-machine" and called the family album that tiny printed images went... ) glu glu glu. Lost everything. But that is normal in a World where zombies are de facto walking corpses.

Duje viecchie prufessure 'e cuncertino
Nu juorno nun avevano che fá…
Certo quelli erano musici: direte il solito Manunzio? No, tutt’altro. E state a sentire. Pur non avendo la tamobla (qui in dialetto d’un tempo automobile) ci siamo, comunque, fatti lasciare dal secondo figlio detto il più riuscito e per tirarlo su mi ha fatto spandecà (dannare non poco)…
Ingresso Belle Arti, poche centinaia di metri da dove si verga la presente: vergare, Mamma mia che poesia! E si vabbè qualcosa bisogna pur mettere della nuda cronaca di fatti a seguire.
Ingresso, campo intero, ecco, bottega-negozio: panoramica su gli astanti scaffali della nostra Extrema Thule (chiede senso ai grembiulini, se vi pare). Vabbene un fotografo in terra infedelis, poi mica tanto le cose che ci dividono dai “parenti” pittori: ‘mbratta (più o meno cioccolatai) tele o men che siano. Li abbiamo fregati, i nominati pittori, da tempo ed essi per fregare noi altri sono diventati, anche, iperrealisti più del re. Finiamo qua che ambedue le squadre, ecco, ha il dente amaro dell’altro, ma quanto a casi da quasi duecento anni lor signori e signore si capisce mai avrebbero immaginato sorpassati (a volte purtroppo) i duemila e passa “disegni” fa.
Ora entrare in Belle Arti è ritrovare un Mondo perduto secondo vulgata dell’Amerika (k as killers) style oramai al tramonto conclamato ché nulla è eterno e gli orientali reclamo il loro, a buon diritto: vedi Gaza.
Sia come sia matite, colori, e tubetti coloranti che non ci frega diversamente dal carboncino e fessaggine, oops fusaggine che quando mettete su la carta...Oddio la carta che ci porteremmo a casa l’intero negozio! Carta very nice che a tastà (toccare non divide nulla con il taste degli Yankee go home) v’accorgete delle vibrazioni che trasmette, altro che star dietro linee per millimetro, lenti zero virgola qualcosa da usare, dicono, all’Equatore allo Zenit di Mezzogiorno e s’incazzano pure per la vignettatura dello zero e qualcosa! Gente che non capisce un c...atadiottrico e manco tener in mano una fotocamera senza farsi male: sì, la solita Munari & Minchiapixellisti che dir si voglia.
Dunque carta da infilare nella “dilettantesca” Pixma 200 Pro di Canon che, dicono i prezzolati sul web, spara acqua colorata e non pigmenti di pigmei, ci torniamo su questo statene certi dopo quindici anni un sito...non mettiamo il c...arro davanti ai buoi, cornuti guarda caso!
Ora nelle Belle Arti oltre il patron di questi, arriva un omone sornione che mi guarda: penso il solito im...ianchino altro nome per dire pittore, almeno un tempo questo per quello. Pittore, eh. Ed è il patron a dire “Guarda là” mentre l’omone aspetta. “Tanì” di rimando “ma tu sii”? E ci abbracciamo. A lor signori che leggono pare na boutade come altra, eppure in quell’attimo due “viecch’ prufessor’” finiti nelle Belle Arti eh. Tanti e tanti anni fa a stampare il Cibachrome, e lui Tanino (Gaetano-Tanino) aveva una camera oscura tutta per sé. E la sua F3 di Nikon e...tempi in bianconero e pure colore da diapositiva su Ciba, che sul sito di Ilford è tornata più bella e gaia che pria...grazie prego alla Petrolini d’antan. Transeat.
E infine due fotografi, lui a dir vero elettricista dell’Enel (insieme a Scintill’ Renato Russo passato da tempo a miglior vita: sit tibi terra Levis, Renato) di una triade: Nikon-Me Super di Pentax e chi scrive con Contax) che “pittano” dipingono dice Tanino mentre gli rispondo che siamo lì per acquistare altra carta...che a casa sembra un cartifico, difficile da descrive se tutto è “vegetale” a monitor si capisce!
Ps. Scritto e riscritto: abbiamo uno scaffale di nobilissime inkjet papers: Canson soprattutto non meno che la germanica Hahnemühle e Awagami by Japan; Canon à la page, Epson pure, Ilford ma nun ci attizza molto per via di quel “diaframma” a nome solfato di bario tout court che limita grandemente la trasmissione di sensazioni-emozioni che solo e soltanto la Carta per Belle Arti riesce a trasmettere, tattilmente e per gli occhi e pure per il naso: emunctae naris. E non parlo della amalfitana Amatruda, un must meglio nu babbà di carta sfrangiata (deckle in quella barbara lingua a nome inglese). Nu piezz’ e ‘cuton’ difficle a dirsi se non provato in vivavoce, ecco. E che con l’acqua colorata sparata dalla Pro 200 Canon impossible eguagliare con dodici ventiquattro centoquattro taniche di colore pigmentate. Fine trasmissione: lato traslato o come vi pare!
Pss. Duje viecch' cui titolo originale è: Dduje Paravise un must della immortale musica classica napoletana e pure 'taliana

Carbon_gino
Headline non è il solito strafalgione, ecco, di Manunzio. Lungo a dirsi e basta così. Stamani ci siamo recati a bottega di colori e carte, non da parati! Belle arti a dirla tutta.
Sia come sia è l’ultimo regno rimastoci, giacché in libreria non è più aria da leggere e la bottega anzidetta nostra Extrema Thule (per i grembiulini in ascolto) ma anche Mastio o Dongion (dall’inglese in ‘taliano, una volta tanto prestito a besenisse, ci siamo intesi) l'ultimo baluardo prima della capitolazione finale così come le fortezze medievali.
A farla breve si è acquistato due bastoncini di carboncino e un pacchetto di “fulissaggine”: ora siccome non ci sentiamo tanto per le 'recchie è passato “fessaggine”: il commesso fact totum l’ha poi ripetuto scandendo bene (seguiamo il labiale da tempo, purtroppo). Certo quanto a “fessaggine” un po’ caro, e su la confezione, zacchete: Canson. Un nome una garanzia, vabbè.
Dite? Certo un fotografo comprerebbe quanto meno carta, anche non trattata purché per Belle Arti (ne abbiamo a scaffale). Invece carboncini: perché? Tutto ha inizio e tutto finisce e non saprei causa Apocatastasi, tuttavia, così ho iniziato scarabocchiando fogli di quaderni con matite Giotto. E mai mi sarei aspettato di essere (non avere, eh) un fotografo nato. Se non che il nero di fuliggine (fessaggine) e carboncino consente di “riempire” i neri su carta non trattata (solfato di bario & calcio carbonato steso su acid free paper cotton for very nice people) vengono più corposi; sì e con una spruzzata di vernice finale fissativa dei dye printer Canon, niente male. Opera unica digital-analogica e l’Apocatastasi è servita!
Così parlò non Zarathustra bensì Wikipedia:
Apocatastasi (in greco ἀποκατάστασις?, apokatástasis) è un termine dai molteplici significati a seconda degli ambiti (principalmente religiosi e filosofici) in cui è usato. Letteralmente significa "ritorno allo stato originario" o "reintegrazione"
(Copia & Incolla se vi pare)
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocatastasi
PS. La stampa reale (!?) è un’altra cosa da “piselli” virtuali a schermo: se stampate vi salvate altrimenti lo pigliate...a buon intenditor!

Hi Artisans photo-printermaker where to start if not, for example, Fabriano and its albums (from latin word albo, white) already at used my home since the days of elementary school?
Fabriano paper, let's go and the n. 4 already in use years ago when I make the experiments in Print-Era inkjet and between profilers and calibrated monitor (then thrown in the trash see bellow link) like a trapeze artist, between gamma 1.8 Mac and 2.2 Windows colorimetric theories Relative Perceptual and ... black dot. A casino royal! At this days ten years have passed, I've just started printing on paper again, a quantum leap in inkjet technology and fairly easy operation. Today, softwares facilitate the final printing on papers with related ICC profiles, or a "translator" between what the monitor sees and the drops of CYMK on the final paper. Closed parenthesis, the Fabriano n. 4 and black and white printing on Canon Pixima Pro 200, and its free proprietary software "Professional Print & Layout" in code PP&L: obviously nothing prohibits, indeed, to print from Pshop, Lightroom and others software. However the software PP&L is a fantastic and discreet ecosystem, we will talk about it in a next thanks to exhaustive video find on Youtube.
Be that as it may, the print test is n.2 A4 Fabriano sheets with its 200 sgm (there's a trick to very end weighing it down more, gluing two sheets in one!) doesn't make you cry out for a miracle, sure, also because I used the "auto-pilot" within the Canon software, just to start from a point. Another mess? No, not at all, as everything beyond the data, let's say purely technical, is worth the personal eye and the taste and one's own vision of the world*, a far cry from the simple, sad and lonely binary code on the monitor, which cannot show the real range of the paper (this is true for every brand) Fabriano 4, its honest gray range** even if in color as we will see later, and here we give it as a premise: chapeau!
On the other hand, another Fabriano, the Rosaspina, which does not need any presentation as it is well known by the masters who use it for drawings and wet techniques, 220 sgm, with a velvety and pleasant touch, transmits an excellent vibration and a nice sound***. And if as happened by mistake to print from the back, you find yourself a surface let's say textured similar to canvas for artists!
And it must be said even if it puts fearful experimenters on the run: the Rosaspina Fabriano "drinks" and absorbs ink like a sponge (which all porous surfaces of other brands do) so that with the Canon Pixima 200 you have to find the mix, let's say, of "inking" in view of the fact that, lacking the layer of barium sulfate or other the surface, and this again applies to all papers produced by third parties, on the Rosaspina the inks tend to sink (spread) between the fibers. Translated: a patina that mixes everything and questionable contrast. And yet, never say never, because there is a way to curb all this and it has the wet mark 609, but we will talk about this "numerology" again.
That's all folks? None because on stage it is another Fabriano Artistico paper that makes the a big difference: here things get interesting, indeed in contradiction with what has just been said. Artistic in the natural white and extra version that we have tested. Artistico Extra White 300 gsm paper that does not seem to be made for "artists" by the wet brush in all its facets. First of all the tactile sensation, which is hardly found in the blasé papers for inkjet, that is pleasant smooth. But if you keep on feeling the paper, it is made of a completely different material: cotton fiber. Now, if the tactile sensation is a good start, the results are amazing, thanks to the fact that the treated surface prevents the dye inks from sinking like the Titanic into the fibers paper. And this translates into sharpness of the edges, contrast and anything else worthy of papers for inkjet: very fine.
The blacks, I'm talking about test black and white prints, here are deep and not as unsteady n. 4, as well as the tonal range as well: it's a pity that the monitor flattens everything and you can't see the difference. Artistico Fabriano it well bears the "underexposure" or the well-known exposure latitude of certain analogue materials aka silver halide. Not enough? In fact Innova in joint venture with Fabriano (we have written and had feedback about it) calls its "special" papers (rough watercolour surface) Artistico and they cost a fortune: à la page c'est vrai?
We have reached the end of the first part with the Fabriano Papers in black and white test, next products of other papers mill, and to follow the more than good results obtained for the color test images. Stay tuned paisà because we are only at the beginning of the fireworks and of a bet already won: the use of art paper (not conventional) on printers Canon Pixma Pro 200. A la prochaine fois paisà
*The human eye sees reality humanly, with all its load of emotions, ideas, preconceptions, culture. In the memory of things there is always a dominant color, the others disappear. From book "Fare un film" Einaudi Editore
**To bring out the typical black of glossy paper shine, the spreading of wax on the print was experimented with good results. Wax already used at the beginning of the twentieth century by Stieglitz, Steichen Ansel Adams and others
***All papers have a "sound" a vibrations, in fact as a pinch your thumb and index finger and swinging the (all factory papers) paper you hear a low sound slightly gloomy but harmonic as when in good weather season a summer storm is approaching

Canon Pixma Pro 200
Hi artisans printer-maker an other step before printing. I was for many years customer of Canon, at the end of Sixties in last Century with a camera Canonet QL (quick load). After that I used with all the Canon cameras (not all purchased, but among friends canonist and acquaintances from) type F1, A1, Ae1 to Ftb up to the incredible Canon D20 and its lenses L ( Fluorite, the best choice). And from the knowledge of the Brand, the reputation its bubble jet printers the step to buy Pixma Pro 200 a good choice for me. Why? Simply because the digital printing I has been practiced it since ten years. In fact thanks at two astonish printers in those days: a Hp 9180 inks pigments and the incredible performance of Hp 1220 C (dye ink) of which there was also a PostScript version, both in A3 format. Hp the 1220 C only four "simple" aqueous colored inks: one tank for the black dye and the other containing all three colors CYM (not separately tank like today). Many years after was, in fact,
Canon itself that introduced the advertisement: "A day all printers will have separate tanks for each color".
However, since then, the prints that I keep under glass would be indistinguishable from the current pigment inks. I remember the printer Hp 1220 C prints deliberately manipulated in Pshop to make them look like watercolors, indistinguishable from the real ones whitouth fade colors. However stay tuned paisà
