Cosmologies : Aperture 244
This fall, Aperture magazine presents an issue exploring the idea of cosmologies—the origins, histories, and local universes that artists create for themselves. In an exclusive interview, Greg Tate speaks to Deana Lawson about how her monumental staged portraits trace cosmologies of the African diaspora. “What I’m doing integrates mythology, religion, empirical data, dreams,” says Lawson, whose work is the subject of major solo exhibitions this year at the Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum, New York, and Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. In an in-depth profile of Judith Joy Ross and her iconic portraiture, Rebecca Bengal shows how a constellation of strangers is brought together through Ross’s precise, empathic gaze. “Ross is guided by a rapt, intense, wholehearted belief in the individual,” Bengal writes. A portfolio of Michael Schmidt’s acutely observed work from the 1970s and ’80s reveals the realms within realms of a once divided Berlin, while Feng Li’s surprising black-and-white snapshots zigzag between absurdist dramas in various Chinese cities.Ashley James distills the surreal visions of Awol Erizku’s still lifes and tableaux; Casey Gerald contributes a sweeping ode to Baldwin Lee’s stirring 1980s portraits of Black Southern subjects; and Pico Iyer meditates on Tom Sandberg’s grayscales marked by both absence and reverence. Throughout “Cosmologies,” artists cast their attention on the great mysteries of both personal and shared lineages, tracking their locations in space, time, and history, and reminding us of the elegant enigmas that can be unraveled close to home.

Celebrations : Aperture 246
Aperture magazine presents “Celebrations,” an issue that considers how photographs envision ceremonies, festivities‚ and allow us to discover euphoria in the everyday. Throughout the issue, photographers portray exuberance against a backdrop of political strife in Beirut, pursue the thrill of wanderlust, excavate family histories, and respond to the powerful, constant urge to gather.Whether in Kinshasa’s vibrant nightlife of the 1950s and ’60s or London’s sweaty dance floors of our era, jubilation carries on, despite an ongoing, and unpredictable, pandemic. In “Celebrations,” Lynne Tillman contributes a survey of landmark images of celebration through the years, by artists from Malick Sidibé and Peter Hujar to LaToya Ruby Frazier.Several profiles and essays—including Alistair O’Neill on Jamie Hawkesworth, Moeko Fuiji on Rinko Kawauchi, Tiana Reid on Shikeith, Mona El Tahawy on Miriam Boulos, and Anakwa Dwamena on Marilyn Nance’s views of Lagos, Nigeria during FESTAC '77—reveal the celebratory gestures embedded in vibrant portraiture, serene slants of light, unbound queer desire, and joyous cross-cultural exchange.

What is the aperture?
The aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls the amount of light that passes through to the camera sensor. It is measured in f-stops, with a lower f-stop number indicating a larger aperture opening and more light entering the camera. The aperture also affects the depth of field in a photograph, with a wider aperture creating a shallower depth of field and a narrower aperture creating a deeper depth of field. Adjusting the aperture is one of the key ways to control exposure and creative effects in photography.

How can one adjust the aperture on a camera adapter without electronics?
To adjust the aperture on a camera adapter without electronics, you can use manual aperture control rings on the lens itself. Some camera adapters have a built-in aperture control ring that allows you to adjust the aperture manually. Alternatively, you can use lenses with manual aperture rings that allow you to change the aperture settings directly on the lens. This way, you can control the amount of light entering the camera and adjust the depth of field without relying on electronic controls.

What is the numerical aperture?
The numerical aperture (NA) is a measure of the light-gathering ability of an optical system, such as a microscope or a lens. It is defined as the sine of the half-angle of the maximum cone of light that can enter or exit the system. A higher numerical aperture indicates a greater ability to gather light and resolve fine details in the specimen being observed. The numerical aperture is an important factor in determining the resolution and quality of an optical system.

And Hank Willis Thomas draws on Aperture’s issues from the 2010s to create a series of collages that reference traditional quilt patterning, revivifying history and remixing the present. Looking back upon Aperture’s legacy, Darryl Pinckney reconsiders the photographer and editor Minor White, whose vision shaped the magazine for nearly two decades, beginning in the 1950s.Olivia Laing writes about the 1960s and the tensions between reportage and artistry in the work of Dorothea Lange, W.Eugene Smith, and others.

Aperture 250 : Spring 2023
This spring Aperture magazine presents “We Make Pictures in Order to Live” an issue that nods to the late, celebrated writer Joan Didion and looks at photography’s relationship to storytelling. “We live entirely, especially if we are writers,” Didion writes in her iconic essay “The White Album,” “by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the ‘ideas’ with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.” Brimming with visual stories that excite, surprise, and illuminate daily life, this issue asks how photographers create and question narratives, and features new work by Bieke Depoorter, a profile of Nick Waplington by Alistair O’Neill, as well as features on Adraint Bereal and Charles “Teenie” Harris.

Prison Nation: Aperture 230
More than two million people are currently incarcerated in the United States.While the country accounts for 5 percent of the global population, it is home to 25 percent of the world’s prison population.How can photography help us understand this vast system, and the lives shaped—and disrupted—by mass incarceration?From a reflection on the origins of the mug shot to stark aerial views of supermax prisons to recent projects focused on everyday life in New York’s Riker’s Island, Louisiana’s Angola Prison, and California’s San Quentin Prison, this issue considers the visual record, and human toll, of a national crisis that is often removed from public view. Prison Nation is organized with contributing editor Nicole Fleetwood, author of the forthcoming book, Carceral Aesthetics: Prison Art and Public Culture.

When does the GNE aperture close?
The GNE (Global Network Encryption) aperture closes when the secure communication session between two endpoints is terminated. This can happen when the communication session is completed, or when there is a disruption in the connection. The aperture is designed to open and close dynamically based on the communication needs, ensuring secure data transmission.
-
Where do I set the aperture?
The aperture setting is typically adjusted on the camera lens. It controls the amount of light that enters the camera and also affects the depth of field in the image. The specific aperture setting you choose will depend on the lighting conditions, the desired depth of field, and the creative effect you want to achieve in your photograph. It's important to consider these factors when setting the aperture to ensure you capture the image as you envision it.

What is the aperture problem in psychology?
The aperture problem in psychology refers to the challenge of perceiving and understanding a complex stimulus when only a limited portion of it is visible. This limitation can lead to errors in perception and interpretation, as the brain may rely on incomplete information to make sense of the situation. The aperture problem highlights the importance of considering context and additional information in order to accurately perceive and understand a situation.

Why did Samsung remove the variable aperture?
Samsung removed the variable aperture feature from their newer smartphone models because they wanted to focus on other advancements in camera technology. The variable aperture feature, while innovative, may not have been as widely used or appreciated by the average consumer. By removing this feature, Samsung could potentially streamline their camera system and allocate resources towards improving other aspects of their smartphone cameras, such as low-light performance, image processing, and zoom capabilities. Additionally, removing the variable aperture feature may have helped simplify the overall design and reduce manufacturing costs.
