In its very essence, each edition of TimeFrames is the stunning array of your photography brought into brilliant focus on one moment. Every so often Calumet puts out a call for entries via email, asking for photographers to submit images as a document or tribute of a noteworthy event. As entries arrive, we assemble as many of these photos as possible into a commemorative web page. The result is an incredible diversity of photographic viewpoints uniting in observation, giving ode to inspiration, or marking each photographer's eye in time.
11.23.2009 - Calumet's 70th Anniversary
70 years after Calumet Photo's inception, we asked for photos exploring the theme "Timeless". In the pieces included here, there are images that seem removed from time and some that confront it head-on; sometimes the subjects exhibit physical endurance, sometimes they demonstrate an unchanging spirit.

08.22.2009 - A Tribute to
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Considered by many to be the father of modern photojournalism and the street photographer's archetype, Henri Cartier-Bresson was unparalleled at capturing "the decisive moment"—that fleeting point of time where an event hits its visual chord.
For the 101st anniversary of his birth, we asked you to share images that exemplify the decisive moment and the style of this photographic master. |
7.07.2009 - Wedding Edition
Photography and marriage. They go together like a horse and carriage. Wedding photography is a tradition, an industry, and an art. It involves planning, anticipation, adaptability, diplomacy and, of course, a camera or two and a good eye.
In the midst of this wedding season, we asked you to share the most unique, dramatic, funny, or exquisite wedding photos from your portfolios. |
5.10.2009 - Self-Portrait Edition
Something we've learned in over 70 years in the photo business: photographers love the camera turned on themselves. So, we asked to see your self-portraits: photos that captured both the spirit of your style and yourself.
We wanted to see you in the field, in the studio, in action, and in the spots your subjects find themselves in. The result is an amalgam of clever, personal, dramatic, funny, and surreal images: a window on the diversity of the photo community. |
3.31.2009 - Sports Edition
It's that one month in the sports calendar that transcends all others. Spring training is in full swing, and Opening Day is days away. NHL and NBA playoffs are mere weeks from beginning. But March's crown is its madness, the exhilarating NCAA basketball tournament.
For our third edition of TimeFrames, we asked for photos that exemplified feats of photography and athleticism. These are those photos. |
2.20.2009 - Ansel Adams' Birthday
February 20, 2009, marked the 107th anniversary of Ansel Adams birthday, 25 years after his passing.
A seminal American landscape photographer, Adams is best known for his emotive landscapes but was also influential in developing the Zone System and as a tireless activist for national parks and the Wilderness Act. His life's work put him in an extremely exclusive club of photographers who have mountains named after them. |
1.20.09 - 44th Presidential Inauguration
At noon on January 20, 2009, Barack Obama became the first African-American President of the United States.
No matter what our political beliefs, the fact remains: this moment was something none of us had seen before. And this era's unprecedented level of social documentation led some to call it the "most photographed moment in history". |
