Letter from the Editor: Kodak Tri-X Month

There was a period of time in the evolution of photography from film to digital where it was inevitable that perhaps every single film emulsion would disappear: but the one that stood out as impossible to disappear in everyone’s mind arguably was Kodak Tri-X 400. For years, this film has been on the front lines…

Letter From the Editor: Welcome to the New La Noir Image

Years ago, Street Photography wasn’t possible. Photography was something that was very cookie cutter–it required a long exposure time, a tripod, a studio, etc. Colloquial photography was very proper, carefully planned, and didn’t allow for much in the way of candid captures. But when 35mm film was developed, professionals gawked at it while consumers were able to capture candid moments of their every day lives in the streets for the first time. Years later, it would become truly serious in the hands of some of the world’s first photojournalists–then continue to solidify itself during the Great Wars. This process of documenting every day life would continue for many years and become a trend.

Entering Stage Two of La Noir Image

As La Noir Image moves forward as a business, we’re proud to officially announce our brand new KickStarter initiative to fund stage two of the business. La Noir Image is looking to evolve; and in order to do so we need to become quite a bit more interactive. This interactivity can only be delivered through an e-magzine; and so we’re looking to create an app with subscription, interactivity, etc. We’re asking for $35,000 to fund the first year of the magazine. This money will go towards the monthly expenses: including paying workers fair wages, video production, app design and distribution,…

La Noir Image Issue 0 is Now Out

La Noir Image Issue 0: the prototype is now available for download free of charge. Earlier this month, I shared my intention of making this site into a full iPad magazine. With the help of designer Ian Pettigrew and an incredible team, this project is going to move forward to its ambitious next step: a Kickstarter. Do keep in mind that this is only a prototype/proof of concept, and the actual iPad magazine will be a lot more like other e-Mags like the BJP: and therefore embrace the use of the web to incorporate videos. The content will also include…

The Future of La Noir Image

Hi folks. You’ve probably noticed that La Noir Image has been very quiet for the past couple of months. The reason why is because I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what I want to do with it. The model of showcasing one photographer a day is kind of cool for a small site, but I’ve got plans to really grow this site and it took a lot of thinking and realization to see that what I was doing won’t work. Over the weekend, I put together a small e-zine. With what I had and my experience of not editing…
