It went to my esteemed Brooklyn collector Ricardo Walton (Instagram: Model This was edition number four of ten, now there’s only six more available. “Tom Bowers San Francisco 1984” by Your’s Truly, Jim James Aka Photojimsf The remaining nine editions will be printed on my favorite, Epson Hot Press Natural cotton art rag paper and come in the very convenient 8 x 10 size. The first edition was printed many years later, 2019, on Noritsu Premium photo paper by Oscar’s Photo Lab SF. I did most of their darkroom work back in the late ’80’s. Shot on Kodak Tri-X film, and “pulled two stops”, I hand developed this film in the darkroom at Jebbe’s Camera Shop in the Excelsior district of SF. This is it’s first publishing on the internet, other than the ebook/catalog from the show. That edition was just sold to my handsome Brooklyn supercollector. The first showing of “Thyrell And Chris” was in July 2019, part of my “Black And White Nostalgia” exhibit at STRUT SF. I always tried to nab that seat, feast on my stir fried clams with oyster sauce, and monitor the comings and goings for potential, ummmm, models! Print History One particular booth about halfway in, if you sat on the outer seat facing the street, had a direct line of sight to the front door of the Pendulum Bar. With a long counter for single diners one side, there were wooden, cabin booths for groups on the other side. Family run for decades, closed for decades, but very popular with patrons at the Pendulum Bar. Just a trivial but fun side note, in the background you can see the South China Cafe. This is the one shot out of the bunch where they looked serious, maybe even poignant, and oddly enough the shot that made the most impact on me. Tickling, groping, bitch slapping, and so kind to let me shoot off a roll of film while they horsed around. The two of them were joking and laughing outside like the world was their oyster. Chris Costa on the right was from Springfield Massachusetts, and attending law School in SF. Thyrell on the left was quite the charmer, and worked as the doorman/bouncer. BTW, that was where the black men and those of us who chased them went. It was an unusually hot summer afternoon, so I had to make my way to the Pendulum Bar to quench my thirsts. Who happens to be very handsome too, btw. I’m happy as clams at high water! Why? Because I’ve recently completed a third sale to my prolific art collector in Brooklyn, Mr. Thyrell And Chris Outside The Pendulum Bar SF, 1986 photo by Jim James aka Photojimsf Sold! A pleasure to work with, I’m grateful he’s such a good sport and down for whatever crazy concepts I come up with. More specifically half Thai and half Puerto-Rican, two of the most beautiful peoples on earth, IMHO. His look is exotic partly because he’s bi-racial: Asian-LatinX. I’ve worked with Paul many times during my visits to Thailand. When he saw the posting he recognized our model and ordered a print! Supermodel Paul Thailand Last year, I made friends on Instagram with an expat pal living in Bangkok. We must keep Instagram family friendly and good clean fun, right? More on that in a bit, read on… Super Lover to the rescue!īecause I posted it on Instagram, I pasted an easter lily over the most important part of his body. I chose the red backdrop with the gold stars to invoke a superhero aura around our studly subject. As opposed to my usual blues, greens, and yellows.

The aim in initiating these dialogues, Wang writes in the book’s introduction, is to find out “if other photographers’ worlds were turned upside down when they stopped mixing chemicals and isolating themselves in the dark.This piece has sparked a series of experiments using bright reds, oranges, and pinks. Below are excerpts from Wang’s conversations with those and other artists, accompanied by images that embody each of their photographic practices. Some, such as Sally Mann, have continued to rely on early photographic processes others, such as Stephen Wilkes, have eagerly embraced the possibilities of digital. In a new book, “ From Darkroom to Daylight,” Wang interviews fellow-photographers and other renowned photo-world professionals about their experiences navigating technological changes in the medium.

For more than twenty-five years, he continued to shoot the people and streets of New York and wider America in black-and-white film then, like many professional photographers, he transitioned to shooting in color and, eventually, to digital. The photographer and filmmaker Harvey Wang began taking pictures in middle school in the early nineteen-seventies, shooting his Queens neighborhood on a Nikon camera and developing film in a darkroom in the basement of his house.
