this is the magazine we produced through BeAnalogic!
Now that we're in the web3 I want to experiment with photography again, bringing a fun event on Tezos chain for this late July - August 2022! It will be a nice way to put your creativity at work - everyone can partecipate, everyone is creative! It will be a VISUAL STORYTELLING CONTEST where everyone is invited to use some photos of the GAM collection and build a gallery on Deca that communicate a story. You can also use other NFT, your artwork or even make derivates - the fantasy has no border! More info below ⇩ ⇩ ⇩
turn render off to see everything ;D
In this years I had the pleasure to play with different cameras, including some modern polaroid - like the Fujifilm Instax Wide 300. I kept only a few - mostly were gifted to my friends over time.

A long process take place to make an analog photo. First, the film has to be impressed with the correct exposure, then developed with the right chemical, scanned at the best resolution and retouched, in the end, to cancel any digital noise acquired during the scan phase. In this way, every shot is enhanced and became part of a ritual where the photographer isolate itself in the scene, with his camera, appreciating the right moment to shoot.
In this process it's possible to manipulate the emulsion of the film, before (with chemicals) the shot, during it (with lenses) and after (with film development). My first shot was a 120mm film with a Diana Multipinhole and some gelatines!
Every polaroid is a PHYGITAL NFT !!!
i want to play a game with you >:D
Glimpse of Analogue Memories (abbr. GAM) is a project that aims to bring back to life old memories through the contextualization of analog photos. Every shot is tied to a particular moment when it was taken: the photographer is trying to use the image to communicate his intention to the public, and it's always at the viewer the work to understand it. In this experiment, both parts will exchange roles and responsibility: it's up to the public to build a story and disclose their artistic spirit to the photographer - which for once can view his photos through others' eyes and elaborate on them through their thoughts. Using images, the participants in this experiment will have total freedom in the form and content of the story: it can be a poem, a short story, or a comic strip, the important thing is that there is a text associated with the chosen images. These stories must contain at least 3 photographs from the GAM collection - but they can contain as many other NFTs as you wish to use, with no limits to the imagination! Don't worry if you aren't an artist, everyone is capable of think and write, take this as a personal challenge! You can use Deca, is a
great platform for everyone, build a gallery in the most creative way you feel and show to everyone your skills! There is no theme to comply with. To partecipate you need to use at least 3 photos of GAM collection, create a gallery that illustrate your storytelling and post it on Twitter! The collection can be found on Objkt (TEZOS) and all the details regards timeframes, rules and prizes can be found on this tweet:
The reactions on your gallery will determine how many points you score! A ranking will then be drawn up - we will try to reward as many as possible, everyone will receive a participation POAP. Don't FOMO - there are plenty photos for everyone, it will be affordable (<5 xtz) and the contest will last the whole month of August. Enjoy your summer!
