I met Kevin at CAX and bought Beat Time and Joker and had him sign
them.
Very nice work, I am having them matted and framed.
Did you notice you can't see the camera in the reflection on the ball ?

Cool - how much do the 20x30 prints go for ? I wouldn't mind having a
couple of these to dress up the walls.
(What little wall space I have!!!! Put these on the staircase maybe)

Nice stuff Dan - thanks for posting.

He should have used "Mirror Glazed" pinballs for an optimal effect...
and Pinfooties while I'm at it....
hell, throw on some awesome Pincab protectors too...
now that's a picture!

I believe that is a Recel Lady Luck.

Kevin's work is really beautiful. He is a master of composition and
lighting as well as being a heck of a nice guy.

Here's his website:

I think they were $25.00 a pop if I remember, well worth it !

BTW, These are on Kodak paper, they are actual prints, not posters.

I contacted Kevin directly and, with his permission, I am posting an
email reply he sent me.

Simply put....three posters are available for purchase. I will provide
a link to view each poster if I receive his further permission to do so
otherwise just email him directly.

These posters look pretty cool!

"Thanks for emailing me. I'm really happy that you like these images.
If you wouldn't mind posting this to your user group for me, I'd be
happy to share.

This series of images is called, "The Game, Reflected: Photography by
Kevin Tiell".

The fine art prints are a limited edition collection printed on Kodak
Professional Endura Metallic paper. There are only 10 of each image and
are available in two different sizes-16"x20" and
20"x30"-through the Geras Tousignant Gallery in San Francisco.
(www.gtfineart.com)

I hosted a booth at the California Extreme event this past summer in
San Jose. Before the show, I produced 3 different posters-Beat Time,
Joker, and One 9-in a limited edition of 50 each. These are each
embossed and numbered and printed on Kodak Luster Paper in the size
20"x30". I've attached samples to this email. Unlike traditional
posters, printed on an offset press on cheap flimsy paper, my
"posters" are actual photographic prints. For the CAX attendees, I
wanted to be able to offer my work at a lower price point ($25) in
order to make these unique images accessible to people other than fine
art collectors. "One 9" and "Joker" are fundraisers for the
Neptune Beach Amusement Museum in Alameda, California. (www.nbam.org)
Michael Schiess, the owner/collector/artist, permitted me access to his
pinball collection and I'm helping him raise money for his Non-Profit
through the sale of these posters. There are still about 30 of each
available, however the cost to pack and ship them would raise the price
to $50 each.

If anyone is interested in obtaining posters, they can contact me at my
email address-- ke...@tiell.com. Thanks so much for all of your
interest. I hope that my images attract more attention to the game and
increase the value of these machines for the collector at large. The
games are a testament to the culture in which they were created and a
functioning history of the world at play. This project has helped me
become a better photographer and I'm excited that it has inspired
more positive energies.

Sincerely,

kevin tiell"

very nice pictures. I wonder if the camera reflection is on the part
of the pinball that is colored white or black.
