Imprints: Bacterial Photography, By Jeff Tabor
Bacterial Photography, By Jeff Tabor IMPRINTS |FALL/WINTER 2010 In 2005, a research group from the University of California at San Francisco and the University of Texas at Austin published a report in Nature describing the engineering of the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) to function as a black and white photographic film. Unlike their virulent cousins, these laboratory bacteria are completely non-pathogenic. Over time, bacterial films have been assigned a variety of monikers ranging from “Coliroids€ to “E.guerrotypes.€ The construction of a living photographic film required two main technological advances. The otherwise blind E. coli first were genetically engineered to see red light and produce a visible black pigment. Second, a ‘bacterial camera’ supporting the growth of the photographic cells [continue reading...]

Imprints: David H. Wells – So You Want To Teach Photography Workshops?

Hope you enjoy it. – The PWP Imprints Committee So You Want To Teach Photography Workshops? by David H. Wells From the September 2009 Imprints issue. A peer asked me how she could make money “teaching photography workshops as a business.€ After picking myself up off the floor from laughing so hard, I gathered my thoughts and reflected on how I started teaching photography.
