PHOTOGRAPH EVERYDAY

Glendyn Ivin

Happy New Year!

I've set myself a challenge in 2016 to shoot and upload a photograph everyday.

Even though I shoot fairly regularly, I want to get into the habit of shooting everyday. This challenge will be an exercise in finding an image that I have to publish even when I'm not particularly motivated. It will encourage me to make time each day to shoot and most importantly, I'm hoping it makes me a better photographer.

I'll do my best to publish the photograph daily. Hoaxville will still be updated semi-regularly as per normal and sometimes the photographs might appear here, however I've created a new Photo a Day page in the menu bar above where the photos will accumulate. 

I started the project with the image above, which was the very first frame I took in 2016, around 8:30am here in Switzerland. 

Hope you all have a creative and productive 2016!

THE CONFEDERATION HELVETIA

Glendyn Ivin

Spending a month travelling through Europe with the family. Our first proper holiday in far to long. Feeling very lucky to be seeing the year out in such a stunning place. Currently in Unterseen, Switzerland, staying with my brother-law Tim who has lived here working as a river guide for the past 15 years.

So overwhelmingly beautiful. Short days, long shadows. Crisp air, soft highlights, crushed blacks, heavy contrast. Love. It.

YELAWOLF

Glendyn Ivin

A few years ago when I was researching up and coming musical artists for the Coke Burn film, I stumbled across a rapper from Alabama called Yelawolf. Even though he had only released a few tracks and some cool mix-tapes at the time, he was too established for us to consider for the project as we were looking for artists well and truely under any radar. However, there was something really intriguing about Yelawolf and I continued to follow his career with interest. 

His most recent album Love Story is by far his most accomplished and defined released. He somehow manages to blend southern rap, rock and Nashville tinged country into a beautifully realised album that has become one of my favourite releases of 2015. 

Yelawolf toured Australia recently and I jumped at the chance to document one of his sold out shows here in Melbourne. Thanks Yelawolf, Bones and Klever for having me!

All images shot on a Leica Monochrom (what a camera!) with a 50mm Summilux / 28mm Summicron.

BLACK AND WHITE AND COLOUR

Glendyn Ivin

I don't shoot film very often but when I do it's always exciting to see what little surprises turn up when the film is finally developed and the negs scanned. This week it was nice to discover a little extra bonus 'end of the roll' random image of Robert Bresson (on the cover of arguably the best book about filmmaking ever) staring out from my office bookshelf.

The colour shot of the geraniums was a little bonus from a recent recce as I find myself back directing a commercial which will take me through until the end of the year.

UNARCHIVE

Randomly stumbled across these three guys drinking cans of beer by a lake in Canberra, 2012. Wonder what they are up too now?

UNARCHIVED

Glendyn Ivin

For years I have been trying to find a simple and secure back-up solution for my film projects and photos. On a friends suggestion I bought a Drobo 5D and it's amazing!  I've spent the last few days unarchiving and backing up over 40 000 photos and terabytes of footage that I had stored across multiple hard drives.

During the process I've rediscovered photos and clips I'd totally forgotten about. Perhaps they were forgotten about for a reason, but I might start posting some here.

Thanks Drobo! Seriously one of the better pieces of technology I've bought. I cant quite explain the feeling of watching all those files land safely on my Drobo drive. Each photo backed up felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders.

DREAM LIFE

Glendyn Ivin

Here is a film about me in my alternative life where I live in Berlin and spend my time collaborating with friends on improvised masterpieces in my home studio. Sometimes we eat pizza too!

Thanks Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds and documenter Alexander Schneider for this. So beautiful! (via arnaldsfrahm.com and erasedtapes)
