When printing was as much an art form as a technology.
Or, the day the people at the Print Shop at History San José set me and my camera loose in their type storage cabinets.
Having had some experience with off-set printing in the past, it was interesting to see how they used to do it.
The Hagen Open-air Museum (LWL-Freilichtmuseum Hagen – Westfälisches Landesmuseum für Handwerk und Technik; English: "LWL Open-air Museum Hagen – Westphalian State Museum for Craft and Technics") is a museum at Hagen in the southeastern Ruhr area, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It was founded, together with the Detmold Open-air Museum, in 1960, and was first opened to the public in the early 1970s. The museum is run by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL, regional authority for Westphalia and Lippe within North Rhine-Westphalia). It lies in the Hagen neighbourhood of Selbecke south of Eilpe in the Mäckingerbach valley.
The open-air museum brings a bit of skilled-trade history into the present, and it takes a hands-on approach. On its grounds stretching for about 42 ha, not only are urban and rural trades simply "displayed" along with their workshops and tools, but in more than twenty of the nearly sixty rebuilt workshops, they are still practised, and interested visitors can, sometimes by themselves, take part in the production.
As early as the 1920s, there were efforts by a group of engineers and historical preservationists to preserve technological monuments for posterity. The initiator, Wilhelm Claas, even suggested the Mäckingerbach valley as a good place for a museum to that end. The narrow valley was chosen, as wind, water and wood were the three most important location factors for industry in the 18th and 19th centuries.
In 1960, the Westphalian Open-Air Museum was founded, and thirteen years later, the gates opened to the public. Unlike most open-air museums, which show everyday life on the farm or in the country as it was in days gone by, the Hagen Open-Air Museum puts the history of these activities in Westphalia in the fore. From the late 18th century through the early years of the Industrial Revolution to the highly industrialized society emerging in the early 20th century, the visitor can experience the development of these trades and the industry in the region.
Crafts and trades demonstrated at the Westphalian Open-Air Museum include ropemaking, smithing, brewing, baking, tanning, printing, milling, papermaking, and much more. A favourite attraction is the triphammer workshop shown in the image above. Once the hammer is engaged, a craftsman goes to work noisily forging a scythe, passing it between the hammer and the anvil underneath in a process called peening.
The Hagen Westphalian Open-Air Museum is open from March or April until October.
Ancoats, Manchester
A first proper outing with me ol’ mucker – Eddie ‘Rainman’ Coulson of 2021 and the chance to post something not from the last decade. We’ve both been dabbling in Etsy in recent months and decided to go and shoot some of Manchester’s historic landmarks with the view to printing some of them. I must confess I’ve never been to this part of town and initially made straight for Anita Street, which has an interesting history going back to the Industrial Revolution, but I’ll write about that in another posting. Sankey’s is further afield and quite a well-known landmark, but if you didn’t know where it was you could spend hours walking around this part of town and never spot it.
Luckily, Eddie knows the area well and pointed me in the right direction. The weather on Friday was glorious and sunny, but not a cloud in sight, so you’ll have to forgive me with this subtle replacement sky. So good to be out and about again and shooting some new material.
It has quite an history as a nightclub… here’s a condensed summary
Sankeys first opened in Manchester as "Sankeys Soap" in June 1994. It was so called due to its residence inside Beehive Mill, Ancoats, which once was used to manufacture soap. The basement of the mill was transformed into a club and live music venue by Andy Spiro and Rupert Campell. After nearly going bankrupt only six months after opening, the venue managed to keep thriving. However, in 1998, due to financial problems, Sankeys Soap closed its doors to the public.
In 2000, the club was revived by business partners David Vincent and Sacha Lord-Marchionne. This time the club was more successful than before, tackling the problems that had crippled its previous owners. In 2006, the club was forced to close once more, much to the dismay of clubbers. David Vincent announced that this time Sankeys Soap would be closed for good.
Later that summer, it was announced that the club was to re-open under the shorter name Sankeys. It would be under the direction of David Vincent who invited Andy Spiro to get involved once again. During its closure the club underwent a major refit involving a brand new LED lighting system and featured the "hatongue" who took over from the legendary "Mad Graham" after the PAR cans were removed. The main DJ booth was also replaced by a new circular box.
In 2009, owing to the success of the new club, 15 further changes were made to celebrate 15 years of the Sankeys dynasty. These included dynamic ceiling lighting in the Spektrum (the upstairs part of the club) as well as a beach constructed with 50 tonnes of Bahamas Sand and the introduction of a state-of-the-art barcoded entry system. In 2010, Sankeys was voted the number one club in the world in a DJ Mag reader poll.
Following the success of 2010, David Vincent announced plans to create "Seven Sankeys" of the World in the seven cities that inspired the original Sankeys.
The music policy at Sankeys was varied but focused on underground electronic music, mainly House & Techno. The club also hosted one-off nights from outside promoters.
Resident DJs over the years included Greg Vickers, Bushwacka!, Jozef K, Darius Syrossian, Ellesse, Ryan Croft, Adam Chappell, OD Muzique, Pete Zorba, and Luke Welsh.
On 11 April 2013, Sankeys announced they would be closing the doors again on 6 May 2013.
On 12 November 2013, Sankeys announced on their Ibiza Twitter feed that they would be re-opening Manchester in January 2014.
On 12 January 2017, Sankeys announced that they were permanently closing with immediate effect, after the building they occupied had been sold to be turned into apartments.

My Grandmother - Lucy - a President and mentor to me.
She was nick named "lightning" by my grandfather (her husband) Cecil Dopson, for her high energy and spark. A well deserved moniker.
I think her middle name, Jubilee, was given her because one of her parents was 50 years old when she was born about the turn of the century - a late child to be sure. Soon she was on her own in a world that did not think women should work.
She made her way and became a photographer and worked for McDaniel's Photography lab in Jacksonville, Florida - long before women were supposed to work or be professionals.
{added comments for People Who Mattered} So many people have made a difference in my life. Love my parents and so many neighbors and mentors. But, without a doubt, the single strongest influence was this lady, my grandmother, Lucy Jubilee Hopkins Dopson.
She gave me and my brothers piggy banks for Christmas and told us that if we filled them she would take us on vacation trips - she paid for everything except she made us use our savings to buy junk and ice cream.
She let me use her camera and she paid for the then extravagant cost of film, development and printing - if and only if - I kept a detailed log of every shot I took recording the light, time of day, aperture, shutter speed, etc.
Then she would review each image and ask me about them and if I was satisfied with the outcome.

Julie and I helped my friend Karl print lino cuts from his Guadalajaran collaborators. They are at 3gatospress.art, if you want to see more. We had a blast showing their art and printing samples with their tortilla press for visitors to the opening of the Hecho Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico!
This week's episode of the Toy Photographers Podcast is all about printing! I spoke with Shelly Corbett and Kristina Alexanderson about not only how, but why you should print your photos. You can check out our conversation here.
Komplex,modern,besonders,stimmungsvoll
Diese 4 Worte beschreiben das von Saal Digital GmbH hergestellte Wandbild Alu Dibond Butlerfinish sehr treffend. Nachdem ich im vergangen Winter schon ein „normales“ Alu Dibond Wandbild testen durfte bekam nun ein anderes Bild aus meiner Kamera die Ehre, an der Wand hängen zu dürfen.
Wie üblich war der Service von Saal Digital GmbH hervorragend. Mittels ICC-Profil zuhause ausgerichtet, in der Bestellsoftware schnell und übersichtlich bestellt und zwei Tage später sicher verpackt in den Händen halten. Eine Geschwindigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit die seinesgleichen sucht.
Verarbeitungsqualität ebenfalls hervorragend. Macken oder Fehler sucht man vergebens.
Nun zu dem Stil Butlerfinish.
Butlerfinish zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass alle sehr hellen Bereiche nicht geruckt werden,sondern das darunter liegende gebürstete Aluminium durchscheint. Um dies auszutesten, wählte ich ein Bild mit vielen hellen bis sehr hellen Bereichen aus, sodass nun gut 2/3 des Bildes Aluminium sind. Ein Look, der mir sehr gut gefällt und das Bild gleich interessanter macht.
Allerdings gibt es auch einiges zu beachten.
1.Aluminium ist dunkler als weiß
Ein Fakt, der die Bildauswahl und Bildgestaltung sehr schwierig macht. Ein Bild das vorher sehr hell ist, ist nun nur noch Mittelmäßig hell im Normalfall. Aber eben nicht immer. Und das führt zum zweiten Punkt.
2.Ort der Aufhängung
Bei dem Ort der Aufhängung sollte man beachten, dass das Aluminium von der Seite kommende Lichtquellen auf die andere Seite reflektieren wird. Man sollte sich also tendenziell einen Ort aussuchen,wo diese Reflexionen auch sichtbar werden,da Sie das Butlerfinish ausmachen. Mittels Beleuchtung lässt sich ein bisschen mit den Reflexen spielen.
Meiner Meinung tut nach jeder Lichtreflex dem Bild gut und lässt es, mit all seinen Farben erstrahlen was für eine einzigartige warme Stimmung sorgt. Das Gegenteil ist im Schatten aber auch schnell der Fall. Womit wir auch schon beim nächsten Punkt wären.
3.Farben
Man sollte für das Butlerfinish nicht nur ein Kontrastreiches Bild mit hellen Bereichen aussuchen sondern auch zwischen schwarz-weiß und prägnanten Farben wählen. Dies wirken bei dem Bildstil am besten.
4.Motive
Modern. Mit diesem Wort habe ich das Butlerfinish beschrieben. Dies sollte man auch beim Motiv beachten. Ich würde hier nicht empfehlen das Gruppenbild von der Geburtstagsfeier der Großeltern zu wählen. Stattdessen sollte man eher etwas abstraktes, technisches / metallartiges oder modernes wählen. Wobei der künstlerischen Freiheit natürlich keine Grenzen gesetzt werden sollten
Insgesamt ist das Butlerfinish damit um einiges komplizierter aber auch besonderer als das Normale Alu Dibond. Bei Letzterem kann man nahezu keinen Fehler machen. Jedes Motiv passt und ist am Ende auf der Wand auch genauso wie auf dem Computer. Allerdings sehe ich darin keineswegs einen Nachteil für das Butlerfinish sondern eher eine Chance. Eine Chance Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen, Stimmungen zu erzeugen und der Charakter des Bildes zu unterstreichen und zu formen. Eine Chance noch nach der Bildbearbeitung an dem fertigen Ausdruck kreativ zu werden und sein gesamtes Potential herauszukitzeln.
Ich persönlich kann das Alu Dibond Butlerfinish all denen wärmstens empfehlen, die auf der Suche nach etwas besonderem und offen für Überraschungen sind,da das Bild garantiert anderes ist als man es je vorher gesehen hat.

Bonifacio De 'Pitati called Bonifacio Veronese (Verona, 1487 - Venice, 1553) - The massacre of the innocents (Thirties of the sixteenth century) - Oil on canvas, cm 195 x 178 -
Stilisticamente questa Strage degli innocenti denuncia la pluralità di modelli cui rivolge la propria attenzione Bonifacio nel corso degli anni trenta e una diretta filiazione, sul piano compositivo, dal grande esempio raffaellesco, conosciuto a Venezia attraverso la stampa di Marcantonio Raimondi. Di grande effetto sono le cromie brillanti impostate sui toni del rosso vivo, di cui offre una campionatura la figura in primo piano, liberamente ispirata agli esempi della ritrattistica di Tiziano. Anche nel nuovo approccio all’elemento paesistico sul fondo si nota una propensione dell’artista alle nuove istanze di riforma della pittura veneziana e in particolare alla “rivoluzione” giorgionesca.
Stylistically, this Massacre of the Innocents betrays the plurality of models Veronese made reference to in these thirty years and, in compositional terms, is directly derived from Raphael, who was well known in Venice thanks to Marcantonio Raimondi’s printing presses. The brilliant colours playing on tonalities of bright red are particularly striking, such as in the figure in the foreground, which was liberally inspired by examples from Titian’s portraits. Even in his novel approach to the landscape element in the background, we can note a bent for the latest examples of reform in Venetian art and in particular the Giorgionesque “revolution”.

Lens EXIF data not recorded correctly. The lens was a 7Artisans 35mm f/0.95. Aperture used unknown.
The five remarkably small and details prints were meant as models to decorate objects such as clocks, locks, boxes, vessels, cabinets and swords. One of De Bry’s two circular designs represents a duke as Commander of Folly encircled by hybrid creatures in ungainly poses. Similarly, the strange beings surrounding Charles V’s profile seem to underscore his enlarged lower jaw, a deformity the worsened in later Habsburg generations.
