Occaphot: 6 weeks left + lady looking for buyer cinema/photo gear

Posted on by Admin

 

Hello,

First of all we have 3 bits of information for you today.

The second part of this newsletter is that we were contacted by a lady whose husband passed away, she is looking to sell his photo and cinema gear.

1) Occaphot is now 7 weeks away. The deadline for registering as a seller is 26th November 2017. To rent a stall click here: https://photographia-asbl.com/?product_cat=occaphot&lang=en

  • Order your half tables.
  • Order your sellers badge AND the badges for your assistants. (if you are a member your members badge is enough, you don’t need to order another for yourself. You do need to order them for your assistants.)
  • Order your parking card.
  • Fill in this form with your ID information and number plates: https://photographia-asbl.com/?page_id=1843&lang=en
  • Pay for your reservation within 7 days as is stated in the terms and conditions otherwise your stall can be cancelled.

2) We are pleased to announce a new event in our calendar: CaroloPhoto.

It will be an outdoor fair like Occaphot’ in the gardens of the museum of photography in Charleroi. It will be held on the 6th May 2018. Registration isn’t open yet but we’ll let you know when it is.

 

3) And a 3rd event of a different kind. We’ve talked about it but it’s a done deal now. A Collodion Festival (for wet and dry plate). We’ll be at the crystal museum of the Val St Lambert in Liège. We’ll have some seller stalls but only of gear that can be used or is related to collodion or very old processes.

 

 

 

Part 2.

A lady living in Virginal (Brabant Wallon) who’s husband passed away is looking to sell her husbands collection. He was passionate about cinema mainly and includes a large cinema projector. Everything lives in her cellar Since he no longer spends his days down there the heating is turned off and she has turned off the dehumidifier to save energy. The dampness is returning and is starting to show some signs of affecting all of this stuff. I have advised she turn it back on to avoid damaging anything but she may choose not to do this so if you have any interest in any of the stuff in the pictures please be quick about it.

She is not wealthy, is losing her sight and an honest price is requested please.

If you see anything that appeals to you please contact me by email only. Not by phone. I am overworked and this close to Occaphot’ I fear my memory will fail me too much to deal with phone requests.

I prefer to sell the lot, there’s no way I can handle selling individual items at this point.

Thank you kindly.

The process :

The more unusual it is the more « points you’ll score »

The show :

We’ll set it up on Saturday 2nd December et dismantle it on Sunday 3rd at the end of the day. If you would like to show your work but cannot be there on the Saturday we can arrange shipping of it to and from here at our cost.

Dear friends,

 

We have 3 things to tell you about today :

 

 

  • Following your feedback we understand that you are worried about our change of address for Occaphot’. Let us reassure you today. We have increased our communication budget and will make every effort to let people know of this change. We are also counting on you to help us by telling those around you about it and we thank you for your collaboration. We will be in Bièvres to promote the organisation. For those of you who will be there, we’ll give you flyers, posters, folders or whichever you prefer. For those of you who aren’t there we’ll send you some free of charge by post. Please give us the benefit of the doubt, we did attract 200 extra people for 2016.

Thank you for your time.

Occaphot’, que verrez-vous lors de notre bourse.

Posted on by Admin

Chers visiteurs,

 

Nous sommes contents de vous accueillir pour cette nouvelle édition d’Occaphot’ avec la nouvelle équipe.

Pour la première fois nous aurons une petite expo photo qui présentera des photographes Belges.

Nous avons mis un concours en ligne sur notre page Facebook. Il nous reste 2 panneaux. Pour savoir comment participer il faut obligatoirement passer la note page Facebook.

 

Vous exposerez aux côtés de Studio Baxton avec leurs ultra grands formats faits à partir de plaques au collodion humide.

Frédéric Materne nous montrera sa vision de Barcelone, Jacques Coenen nous montrera son New York en plus de tenir son stand habituel de matériel photo. A côté de son stand vous trouverez le stand de Photoviews qui sont spécialisés dans les rencontres photographes/modèle. Photoviews proposent des concours avec des prix intéressants et une base de données de +18 000 noms en Belgique et en France.

Nous vous présenterons le travail d’ébénisterie photographique de René Smets. Des vraies merveilles qui, à elles-seules, valent le déplacement.

 

Si le procédé du Studio Baxton vous intéresse vous pourrez trouver le stand de Photo 42 qui est spécialisé dans le collodion humide. Après une pause cette entreprise reprendra ces activités en Janvier et propose stages et kits de chimies et matériel pour les débutants.

 

Nous vous réservons encore une petite surprise mais il faudra encore patienter un petit peu.

Nous vous enverrons un autre email prochainement avec les détails pratiques.

A bientôt,

 

 

Isabel, Genevieve et Luc

Latest news Occaphot’

Posted on by Admin

 

Chers amis,

 

Nous regrettons de devoir annoncer que Philippe Berger ne pourra pas présenter ses tirages à Occaphot‘. Nous regrettons ce contretemps mais c’est indépendant de notre volonté. Nous vous présenterons les travaux de Studio Baxton à la place ! Venez découvrir des tirages en très grand formats faits à partir de plaques au collodion humide. Ils seront aussi présents avec un stand de matériel à vendre et seront en collaboration avec Lacam dont nous vous avons annoncé la présence récemment. Si le collodion humide vous intéresse Photo 42 sera aussi présent pour vous aider à vous lancer dans le procédé.

 

 

Pour rappel Occaphot’ c’est dans 5 semaines. 
Je vous rappelle que la date limite pour les inscriptions est le 27 Novembre 2016.

Les inscriptions se font ici : http://photographia-asbl.com/fr/location-de-stand/

Attendez la facture qui vous sera envoyée avant de payer svp. Les cartes de parking et les badges vous seront envoyés en temps voulu.

 

 

Le parking de l’école est maintenant gérée par une société privée qui fonctionne avec des abonnements et non plus par l’école. Nous avons néanmoins conclu un accord avec eux sous conditions : L’accès libre et gratuit est accordé pendant les horaires d’ouverture public de la bourse mais pas en dehors de celle-ci. Nous réserverons une place près de l’entrée pour les personnes à mobilité réduite.

L’entrée avant 9h30 est limitée aux personnes ayant obtenu l’autorisation de la part de l’entreprise. Nous nous chargeons d’obtenir cette autorisation et la gratuité pour les exposants mais ne tardez pas a réserver votre stand pour que nous puissions vous inclure dedans sans panique de dernière minute.

 

A bientôt!
