"KANATA", So Daunting, Sub Projects?

During my spagetti meal tonight at work I was thinking over "KANATA". This idea is fricking HUGE, it is mind boggling large and nearly impossible in scope . I decided what I need to do is think of it not as a whole but as indvidual segments, to chop it down to more reasonable biteable doable bits. I need to find smaller parts/sections/subjects of the grander "KANATA" theme. Only then bit by tiny bit can I even think of completing such a collosol project. I will do one sub project at a time, and move onward and upward from there. The chances are I will only finish part of "KANATA" idea, but the more parts I can complete, the better the overall whole. We will do our best and see what happens.

To that end I am going to think up (got 4 plus years of thinking space) subjects to shoot as subsections to the "KANATA" project concept.

Such as:

"KANATA- Vancouver Island - Old Growth Forests-Rainforests"

Rainforest, Vancouver Island, British Columbia

"KANATA - Yukon - The Klondike Gold Rush"

Klondike gold rush near Dawson City, Yukon

"KANATA - Fort McMurray - Tar Sands"

Tar Sand Fort McMurray Alberta

A Slow Week Off Ahead!

Busy week ahead. You get these weeks off work but they turn out busier than your work week. Need to:

- Continue to work making ambrotypes for the AMBROTOS KANATA project. I have been reading and trying to understand the horrors of the Residential School system in Canada. The babies and children who died were put in unmarked graves, we do not even know how many died. I keep thinking about that, monstrous, evil behaviour. How can you bury a child and not even record their name, that is beyond understanding, to not even care enough to record the name of the lost.

Got to try to photograph for KANATA. Hope to photograph remains of the school buildings for the project. Might be able to photograph the first former school, this week, not sure if I will be allowed to.

- Find a negative, scan and send it for the “Analog Forever Photography Magazine”. They need a high resolution image, only have low. The photo is connected to a story I told of children sledding down the garbage. This magazine I think is based in New York.

- Start work on a 8000-9000 letter story about THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP for the “Silver Grain Classics” Photography Magazine. Then get photos ready for that as well, deadline mid October. Found out this magazine is based in Germany.

- Continue communicating with a the historical Canadian camera organization which has a mag/newsletter, based in Toronto. They are interested in a profile, camera stuff and details on the ambrotype KANATA project.

My hope is that the project will eventually lead to raised awareness among Canadians through news organizations covering it (maybe eventually newspaper and TV news). That will help raise awareness about the subjects within KANATA like the Residential Schools, the survivors. It is so important to tell those stories and to document them, so we can learn and remember.

- Unpack and unload my Nuarc UV light unit.it was loaded on my dads old half ton truck with a small forklift last year, now I need to get it off, bring into the hose and set it up by hand, by myself. Hope the old muscles and back hold up.

Will use this wonderful machine to do carbon and platinum printing in the darkroom starting this winter. Hope to eventually use it as part of the AMBROTOS KANATA project and also to print THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP negs, plus all the other negs.

- Need to get mom a desk for her room at the centre. Mom likes to do puzzles and collecting and needs the space. Also need to book an appointment and visit her this week. There is a long procedure to get into her facility safely. I want to get her hair cut and dyed but still too worried a out Covid, mom is in a high risk group, she is 84.

- Will do a ton of cleaning at the old house, in a race against the snow. So days of work, cleaning and packing there. Also got yard work at the house. Am dreading the coming winter. Wish I was in sunny Thailand eating Som Tum instead! Laying about eating Thai food and making photos, seems more fun than carrying boxes and moping floors!

- Need to pick up my R18 RocknRoller cart from Vistek. This cart will help transport my heavy camera gear from the trailer to locations for KANATA. Will also need to build it.

- My large supply of chemicals from India arrives today. Need to receive them, then safely separate them into smaller bottles and store them in proper conditions for long time storage. Thinking of using mom and dads old root cellar for that, but will need to clean that out first. Hope to use the chemicals for many years on KANATA.

- Haul garbage to the dump, 2 loads at least. Move an upright freezer from a garage to the house, move out the stove. More back risks there.

- think there is more, but to busy to remember right now

Great to be on my week off, NOTHING AT ALL TO DO!

 

Art Acquisition by Application Submission, 2023

 Made my annual Alberta Foundation of the Arts, "Art Acquisition by Application" submission tonight. Lots of paperwork, hope I can sell some ambrotypes from the AMBROTOS KANATA project. Last year I sold 2 plates for $2000 CAD. That money was used to buy more silver nitrate. Anything I can sell this year will go to the same cause. More silver nitrate means more ambrotypes for AMBROTOS KANATA!

Here are this year's submissions, all 8x10 inch clear glass ambrotypes.

Cottonwoods #3, AMBRROTOS KANATA, Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, 8x10 Clear Glass Ambrotype, 2023

Crucifix #1, AMBROTOS KANATA, Mundare, Alberta, Canada, 8x10 Clear Glass Ambrotype, 2022

Grave Monument #1, AMBROTOS KANATA, Mundare, Alberta, Canada, 8x10 Clear Glass Ambrotype, 2022

Lundbreck Waterfall #2, AMBROTOS KANATA, Lundbreck, Alberta, Canada, 8x10 Clear Glass Ambrotype,  2023

Memorial Union Graveyard, AMBROTOS KANATA, Calgary, Alberta, 8x10 Clear Glass Ambrotype, 2022

"KANATA", HF3535 Update At Large Format Photography Forum

Yesterday, I had a person on the large format photography forum ask me for an update on my HF3535 camera post and photography project. Seems a few people there are intrigued by the camera and the planned wet plate project. Here is the long reply I wrote up today.

Note* Earlier when asking tech questions about lens on www.largeformatphotography.info, I had posted several comments about the large 35x35 inch view camera I was buying and about "KANATA" the major cross Canada photography project I was planning.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi…… ……. Thank you for your interest in the HF3535 project. Today I am working an OT security guard dayshift here in Canada, something I hate but need to do to let a coworker have a short vacation. To help me get through this rather long-difficult day I decided to answer your email here at work. It is fun to dream and talk photo things when your stranded in a guardhouse in snowy, cold Edmonton. So here it goes, my long winded answer to your simple question.

The HF3535 camera and the photo project “KANATA” is very slowly coming together. “Kanata” is the name of the wet plate series I am planning to do with the camera, it will probably take over 10 years to complete. Kanata is an indigenous Canadian word meaning "village" or "settlement". It is the origin of the name of Canada. The eventual photos could include landscapes and portraits shot across the country. The pictures would be made using cameras from 4x5 to 35x35 and be done both in negative form and using the wet plate collodion process (ambrotypes). I am 54 years old now, the plan would be get going on things by about 57 or so, and seriously do the photography after I retire from my security gig between ages 60 and 70, health permitting. It is all a long shot. It is sort of an impossible thing to achieve.  I figure thou anything can be done, as long as you try. So we will try and see how it all fills out in the end. I will do my best and go from there. If I fail, I fail. Better to go down swinging at the plate, than not trying at all.

On the camera: I am still waiting for it! It is now over a year late. I have been told thou that the work continues and that it is coming along slowly. I find the delay frustrating but hopefully in the end I will get the camera as promised. The builder injured his hand a while back which put everything off course. I have 2 lens for the camera, will have plate holders made soon. I am trying to figure out the tripod – mounting the camera in the field set up (with some suggestions from ULF wet plate photog Kurt Moser, met him in Italy in 2018, saw his work, darkroom etc. An amazing artist and human being). The darkroom trailer plan is slowly developing as well. I am picking up a used double plastic laundry sink for it this weekend. I plan on using the sink in a small trailer I will buy in the next year or so (6x10 foot).  Will pull the smaller trailer behind my camper van to start things out. Later on I might get a larger RV unit and a larger trailer. Will see about that later, if the early work is successful.

My battle plan for the project is as follows…this is from a blog I wrote a few days ago.

http://gerryyaum.blogspot.com/2019/02/kanata-battle-plan.html

Because I am new to wet plate I need to learn the process, to learn the process I need to start out slow. I also need to spend my money wisely and slowly climb the mountain top. Part of that climb is to buy Quinn Jacobson’s latest book-video series that he recently completed.

http://studioq.com/blog/2018/12/5/new-chemical-pictures-book-and-video-series-may-2019.html

Of late I have been working on a second darkroom space. This darkroom will allow me to do wet plate in it as well as Platinum-Palladium printing.

http://gerryyaum.blogspot.com/2019/02/what-darkroom-looks-like-now.html

I also picked up an old Petzval brass lens recently to use with a 8x10 camera for the project. The first few years I expect to shoot the 8x10 and maybe the 16x20 Chaminox Camera. The HF3535 will need to wait for now.

http://gerryyaum.blogspot.com/2019/02/bought-me-antique-gundlach-portrait.html

On a side note I have been  heavily involved in my “Families of the Dump” project. In 2017-2018 I spent 6 months in Thailand making pictures at the dump and doing donation work there. We (I) handed out over $4000 in goods, head lamps, boots, rice, medicines to those in need. Have become deeply involved with the families in the dump, many people there have become my friends. I need to complete my work with them before diving head first into “Kanata”. You can see some of that on the links.

Some of the color photos from 2017-2018

http://gerryyaum.blogspot.com/2018/02/40-families-of-dump-night-series.html

Here is a video shot last year of me arriving on a rented motorbike in the dump to hand out things to the people there. Also of course did a night of photography afterwards. Spent a total of about 4 months in the dump, rented a room in town etc. Lots of effort, got sick in the end but was a very positive life altering type experience. I can still see the smiling children who we gave SOLO (Lollipops) to. See the video here:

http://gerryyaum.blogspot.com/2018/09/videofacebook-arriving-at-dump-video.html

I will return to the dump and the families in May of 2019. We raised another $1110 to help them. The money is from 2 artist talks I gave as well as from private donators who have been following this work. Basically the way it works is people have seen the photos, heard my stories and gave money without me asking for money. Social documentary photography can be an important vessel for change, help make the world a little bit of a better place (at least that is my dream). I hope the HF3535 “KANATA” project will also have a positive effect on peoples lives.

So in summary, busy with lots of other stuff and slowly getting things lined up for the “KANATA” and using the HF3535 camera. Keep tuned more to come. This might all blow up in my face yet, nothing may come of it, or maybe like with the Families of the Dump pics or with the sex worker 8x10 portraits (https://slate.com/culture/2014/01/gerry-yaum-photographs-sex-workers-in-pattaya-thailand-in-his-exhibition-body-sellers-the-sex-workers-of-thailand-at-photonola.html), things might still work out. Sometimes when you dive into the deep end you do learn how to swim! Hopefully I will not drown! Thanks for your kind interest.

Hope that helps update things as they currently stand. Thanks also for helping me make a mundane morning as a guard a bit more exciting. “Ain’t Photography Grand!!”

AFA, Art Acquisitions by Applications Grant, 2023 Attempt

Applied for a AFA, "Art Acquisitions by Applications"grant today. Basically its a attempt to get your work bought by the Alberta Government and added into their permanent collection. grant today. Basically its a attempt to get your work bought by the Alberta Government and added into their permanent collection. 

I got a print in of a monk years back but ever since then nothing but failures. Kind of took the wind out of my sails and I stopped applying.  With the new Canada based project AMBROTOS KANATA, wet plate/ambrotype project, I decided to give it another go.

I submitted 5 Cottonwood tree 8x10s from last September. I asked $1000 a Ambrotype plate, as these are one of kind 8x10 pieces, never to be replaced or repeated.

If I sell any of these to the province. I will use the money to buy "Silver Nitrate" which will allow me to make more Ambros.

Here are the submissions. I am hoping since they are 1 of a kind works and Alberta based, they might be more attractive to the selection jury folks. Any sales will also fuel new work.

Note* This is the first time I have scanned Ambrotypes! 

Note** For anyone in Alberta that wants to try, here is the link.

Amber Tuccaro Story And AMBROTOS KANATA Photo Idea

AMBROTOS KANATA needs to be true to this land and the people who live here. All stories need to be told.

Amber  Tuccaro and her mother broke my heart and opened my privileged white boys eyes a tiny bit. When I heard Ambers voice, it haunted me, I wanted to include her story some how in the AMBROTOS KANATA project. 

Here is the video I watched earlier:

Amber Tuccaro's unsolved murder

After thinking things over all night, I fell asleep, I suddenly woke up with a possible idea on how to photograph Ambers story (it was strange like my mind was still thinking while I slept). The idea might help educate more Canadians on about the genocide happening to indigenous woman across the country.

I am not sure it is appropriate for me to do these ambrotypes, to tell these stories, so am asking several First Nations Facebook friends for advice and help.

The idea would be to photograph the places the bodies of woman victims were found, then to meet the families (if they OK a meeting) and to photograph the family, or a member of the family (mother, father, sister, brother, son, daughter). The family could then share a personal story about their lost daughter, something true and human, something that could be included with the photographs in an exhibition.

We can often overcome racial prejudice and indifference when we learn more about the humanity and the suffering of others. Human beings are empathetic and compassionate by nature, you just have to wake them up sometimes. You sometimes just need to slap people out of their indifferent, coma like state. 

Ambrotype photographs of the ugly places the poor victims ended their lives, contrasted with compassionate portraits of those who loved her, and the voice (audio or written words) of those who suffer from loss telling a story of the person who was murdered, would be powerful. This idea will not change the world, but it might help some people start to think in a new way, it may help to change prejudiced, negative attitudes. That would be the hope anyway, and heck you got to believe people will change for the better, or what use is life. The photographs and stories would also be a tribute to the woman who were taken away from those who loved them. The ambrotypes would say they were here, that they were important, remembered and loved.

Still thinking on this. Please listen to the video link above, and hear Ambers voice.

Note* AMBROTOS KANATA is a 15 year photographic project of Canada. The pictures will be made on glass using a process called wet plate collodion. The glass photos or ambrotypes are a beautiful but difficult to make. The wet plate process dates back to the 1850s. 

Note** Please go and listen to Amber's voice on the link above, it is important to hear her.

Update* Maybe we could call this part, this CHAPTER of "Ambrotos Kanata", LOST SISTERS.

Amber Tuccaro

Bought Me A Nikkor Apo 1780mm F14 Lens

"KANATA" (the word Canada, in the "Plains Cree" language) is one very important step closer to becoming a reality. I decided to change the project name from "Oh! Canada!!" to "KANATA" out of respect for Canada's first nations, indigenous peoples, culture and history. They  were here long before Canada was Canada. I hope to photograph first nations stories in the series.

A few minutes ago I bought me a second major lens for the "KANATA" project. A Nikkor Apo 1780mm (70 inch) F14. This lens is a modern lens in fair condition and also very rare. The Nikkor is almost as rare as my my 100 year old brass Carl Zeis Jena Apochromat Tessar 16/180cm.

The Brass Zeiss Tessar 180cm

My new online friend Kurt M in Italy looked two years for this same lens and said he knew personally of only 5 in existence, not sure if this is one of the 5 or not. The lens is in fair condition with "LIGHT ABRASIONS ON THE FRONT ELEMENT" (see photo). I am a little worried about the abrasions thing, but I believe it will not cause a problem, I hope not anyway!

On eBay this very unique lens was bid up to $1700 USD with 10 seconds remaining, then 4 other people and myself put in aggressive bids at the very end, I won out at a price of $3857 USD. I expected it to sell for a bit more, closer to $5000 USD. So even thou it is still a very high dollar number, paying in the high $3000s was difficult but acceptable. 

Wow!!, 5 bidders in the last 10 seconds, my new lens was highly sought after. Who knows how many years will pass before another one comes up for auction on eBay. This also speaks well to the resale value of the Nikkor Apo 1780mm f 14. I should be able to get my money back when I eventually resell it. Heck I might even make a profit on the resale, especially if it is used to create an important ambrotype project (at least that is the hope!). "This wonderful lens was used in the ground breaking "KANATA" wet plate project by internationally acclaimed artist, and generally nice dude, Gerry (Mr. Camera Gear) Yaum ", :)), haha, that sort of sales pitch thingy.

I knew the bidding was going to be hard and fast at the end and I desperately wanted the lens for my 35x35 camera so I went all in on it. I will also need to pay for Fed Ex shipping, brokerage and taxes. A very expensive item but one of those necessary steps in the process of making mammoth ambrotyes. This lens will cover a 35x35 inch negative at infinity quite easily (not 100% sure the Zeiss Tessar will). It was basically a must buy for me. I now own 2 lens for "KANATA" and a 35x35 camera, about 4 years 10 months before I planned to start the project! Heck I might start this thing earlier while I am younger and stronger. I will have all the gear, so why not!

This Nikkor has a huge flange/base plate that measures in at 10 1/4 x 10 1/4 inches and weighs in at 18lb 6oz (8.35kg), with the box it weighs 26lb 14oz (12.2 kg). Filip my HF3535 camera maker is building me a enhanced front standard to handle the weight of this lens (bigger metal parts and new design), I am also going to rig up a separate tripod support of some kind for it. I do not want my beauty lens to rip its way free of the camera body, smash onto the ground and break into a thousand pieces!  When I got the lens I will send the the 1780mm flange to Filip in the  Czech Republic to get special lens board adapter made for the camera.

Note* This will be my last major buy for a long time. I need to pay off the 1780mm Nikkor, the other 100 year old Zeiss Tessar brass lens and the HF3535 camera and then save as much money as I can before I go to Thailand. I have so much to do there. I need to start concentrating on the "Families of the Dump" film , the photos I will make in Asia and the donation work for the families which is extremely important.

Here are photos of my new FAIR condition lens. With the eBay description from the seller (San Francisco, USA).

1780 mm apo Nikkor for sale!

For all you dreamers and poets. This may be your last chance to realize your ULF wet plate dreams. Condition is fair, light abrasions of the front element but nothing to spoil extraordinary sharpness. Covers a huge format. Stop dreaming and get bidding!!

Fanny & Freddy

I decided to word simplify and pay tribute by naming the two vehicles that will be used in the AMBROTOS KANATA cross Canada wet plate project. As earlier mentioned, the motorhome will be called "Fanny", a tribute to the wife of the inventor of wet plate photography Frederick Scott Archer. Today I decided to also name the darkroom trailer its name will be "Freddy"(Frederick Scott Archer).

So travelling down the road for the next 10-15 years making ambrotypes and wet plate collodion negs, will be the former real life partner team of Fanny (Fanny G Archer) and Freddy (Frederick Scott Archer). A fitting tribute to the two I think. It will also make the blog-youtube channel and artist talks flow easier, one word instead of many used on those platforms.

Note* AMBROTOS KANATA/ "Ambrotos" is reference to the Greek word for "immortal", in the sense that wet plate ambrotypes are basically immortal. "Kanata" is a tribute to First Nations people and their important culture and history. Kanata is from the Iroquois language,the Kanata word is the origin for the name Canada it means village or settlement.

How To Make Money For "KANATA" ?????

Tonight at work I am thinking forward to my future "KANATA" cross Canada mammoth wet plate photography project. How to financially support such a major undertaking? If this thing does happen, it will take over 10 years to produce (2-4 months a year). I will need plenty of money to get this done. Money to buy all the supplies, money for travel, money for living. I will have some saved money to spend at that point in my life. Will it be enough money? I doubt it. I was thinking of other sources of income that could possibly be in play.

They include:

1) Ambrotype and or print sales (definitely possible, have sold work many times before, if this goes well it could possibly lead to a major funding source).
2) Grant funding by local, provincial and national Canadian art funding bodies (difficult but possible, I have received an arts grant before).
3) Wet plate workshops country wide. Possibly other types of photography workshops in my truck darkroom (very good chance, already done workshops, not wet plate but other types)
4) "KANATA" related T-shirts sales if and when the project becomes more known and recognized. . Other related project promotional items could be sold (could be done).
5) Artist fees from exhibitions of the work. (very good chance, already done this)
6) Book sales (this one is a real long shot, first getting a photo book and actually selling them for a profit).
7) Selling of old unused photo gear (I own lots of gear that I could sell, very doable).
8) Donations from people who support my work and the project. Either just outright gifts of money for "KANATA" or funding with a reward through the various online funding websites (I guess this is possible thou not sure it would work. Others have raised fund this way for their photo work including wet plate projects.).

Day 2 Of AMBROTOS KANATA

 from Facebook...

Did another 8 hours or so at Elk Island National Park today working in the KANATA project. It was a wonderful day, a combination of a good sleep and fun photography will do that. The ambrotypes seemed a tad improved, the cooler 14-16C temp made things easier, no sweating int he tent and the plates looked cleaner today. 

 

 

Arrived at the park at around 710am and it was animals, animals animals on the 60km per hour drive in to where I was shooting at the beaver pond. First I had a female moose running next to the car about 20 feet to my left, then it was a heard of buffalo on both sides of the road, probably 30 or so animals, then a coyote and maybe 15 or so individual buffalo grazing along thee road. One of the highlights was a young strong looking buffalo running on the right side of the vehicle before heading into the bush, not a fast animal but definitely stocky and strong. Finally just before I got to the pond I saw a beautiful antlered elk on the side of a hill looking down at the road.. I took a few iPhone shots for you folks. Elk island is a small National Park about 45km from my home of Edmonton.

 

 

I set up my tent (45 minute to set up and 1 hour plus to take pack) and started shooting immediately on arrival. Was way off on the first exposure, I tried 13 seconds but the proper exposure was around 2 minutes 30 seconds (f11 on a modern 75mm lens). Yesterday the first 3 plates were way overexposed, today the first 2 underexposed, GO FIGURE! During the day the light did not seem to change much but the exposures did. I moved to a 90mm at F11 and had exposures from a high of 3 minutes to a low of 30 seconds (later in the day around 130pm). UV light is difficult to figure, I need a lot more experience. I am trying to think in terms of quality of light instead of quantity but I have so little wet plate experience that I have nothing to compare my days to. Later on I hope my judgment will be better. 

 

 

I used Gerry Collodion (no added ether) and my Toyo 4x5 camera with binocular hood device which I like (but you cannot take verticals). Did 5 different set ups, and made 12 plates (varied exposures), which I brought home loaded with glycerine, they are washing now. I am also filtering all my silver from the last two days in the trailer.

 

 

A very good day I think, relaxing, fun and productive. I know I can do KANATA now. I will try to pour my first 16x20 plate soon, maybe next week when I am off work. I know it is a bit early but want to get a feel for that before winter sets in.

 

 

All the way home from the park I was thinking of a Ambrotype picture I want to make, maybe next year. It is a panoramic shot with a 16x20 camera. I want to shoot from the roof of my trailer across a long field of grass with trees in the background. A herd of 20-40 buffalo will be grazing on the grass in front of the trees. Buffalo are an important part of Canadian history and a hugely important animal in First Nations culture, so doing a buffalo shot for KANATA seems right.
