This is my friend Max, he was kind enough to participate in this project I called my garden. The idea was to do interesting portraits of all the interesting people in my life. Max is certainly interesting. He showed up in a kilt, I mean, of course he did! Here we are in the middle of a stone labyrinth and he is gathering his chi for some more photo adventures. This was a fun day spent with one of my favorite artists.
This was shot in RAW and processed on Linux using Darktable.
The Westside MAX Yard in Beaverton, Oregon. This was the first time we'd used the station next to it. I hadn't realized it was possible to view any of the yard from the station. When we left, I learned you can even get a view of the parked MAX trains. I'll want to get a couple more photo's from here in the future.
This was the first roll of Adox B&W film I've ever shot. The Adox CHS 50 film still uses the same emulsion developed in the 1950's. While Rodinal might be the recommended developer, my standard Rodinal 1:100 Stand Develop was definitely not the right choice. Some of the negatives have some pretty bad smearing, and the negatives were so dark in spots as to be nearly impossible to scan. Thankfully I can do "RAW" scans with the Nikon Coolscan IV ED scanner I'm using. By scanning RAW, I was able to open the photo's in Adobe Camera Raw, and move the fill light all they way to the right. I then adjusted the exposure as needed and opened the RAW image in Photoshop to convert it from a Negative to a positive image.
Portrait of Max DUPAIN
Personal Life:
Max Dupain was born on the 4th April 1911 in Ashfield, Sydney. He lived and worked in Sydney for most of his life and was dedicated to his field of photography for more than 50 years. Dupain was twice married; his first wife was fellow photographer and childhood friend Olive Cotton whom he married in 1939. Dupain and Cotton divorced in 1941. Ten years later he married Diana Illingworth. They had two children Danina and Rex. Following in his father’s footsteps Rex also became a photographer. Although he travelled extensively throughout Australia, Max Dupain did not travel overseas like most artists. Other than a short time spent in New Guinea during World War II and a trip to France in 1978, he spent his life and career in Australia, failing to see the need for international influences.
Education and Career.
Max Dupain was given his first camera at the age of 13. The “Box Brownie” was a gift from his uncle and the beginning of Dupain’s fascination with photography. In 1929 he joined the Photographic Society of NSW while still at school.When he left school he already had work, training with Cecil Bostock, a popular commercial photographer. By the age of 23, Dupain had already branched out and opened his own studio in Sydney. During World War II Dupain, served with the Royal Australian Air Force in Darwin and was a service photographer in Papua New Guinea. Photographing the War deeply affected Dupain which in turn affected his photography. He felt that photography needed to abandon what he called the “cosmetic lie”. Photography, he believed, had to be accurate and reflect real life. In the 1950s Dupain began photographing industrial landscapes and architecture, a practice which continued throughout his career. He held his first one-man show at the Australian Centre for Photography in 1975. Dupain was also highly involved with The University of New South Wales, CSR Limited and the Royal Australian Institute of Architects. Max Dupain is one of Australia’s most beloved photographers who captured the way of life in our country.
Artwork
This photograph titled Max Dupain, Atarmon NSW 1979 was taken by David Moore in the year 1979. It captures Dupain in his studio looking through photograph negatives; giving a rare look into the studio of our most prominent photographer. This photograph was taken after David Moore had relocated to Melbourne, placing him in the same art circles as Dupain. It became apparent that Moore saw Max Dupain as a mentor, having worked with him for some time during the late 1940’s early 1950’s
It wasn’t until later in his life that Max Dupain’s photography became recognised and celebrated. In 1982 he was awarded Order of the British Empire and in 1983 was awarded Life Membership of The Royal Australian Institute of Architects. Dupain moved to his studio in Atarmon, Sydney, in 1971 where he spent the remainder of his life. He died in 1992 at the age of 81.
Lately Max's 8 year old tourettes-like use of poop, pee, farts etc has been driving me crazy. One big rule is 'no potty talk at the table' - it drives me nuts!! Over the last few days Max has taken on the challenge of seeing how far he can push me before he gets into trouble, and last night he lost. Over the span of approx. a half hour he earned 100 lines - 50 for the potty talk at the table, and the rest in small increments for screaming about the injustices of the world and kicking things. Oh the joy of being a parent! *grins* Last night Max was incapable of calming himself enough to do his lines and was forced into bed early instead. This morning he got up bright and early and started working ...
