Me (photo by Wendy Hicks) at Duncan Miller gallery, Santa Monica, CA Yesterday afternoon was a fun and interesting event being a participant at the Duncan Miller gallery Photo Art Book Fair held in Santa Monica. Actually my first time as a "exhibitor", so thought I would share a little bit about this experience. First,... Continue Reading →
Stock Photgraphy – Fine Print
Okay, this is part two following on from yesterday's article about the potential for shooting Stock Photography, which is one more post than I planned, but I am on a roll. As Gordon had reminded me off-line, beware of the fine print with a potential stock agency. And the fine print includes, who takes on the copyright of... Continue Reading →
Shamelessly Self-promoting myself
One of the things you are suppose to do, if you want to be noticed and eventually sell a print or book or get a gallery representation, is to promote yourself. And in a round about way, I have been. And then again, I have not been really diligent in this area. sigh As I read other blogs... Continue Reading →

UnCritical Mass acceptance
Urban Redevelopment #10, 2008, copyright of Douglas Stockdale Well from the ashes of defeat, a really nice post-submission group exhibit. I was "juried In" to the group exhibit, UnCritical Mass, by Liz Kuball, who also had an UnCritical Mass submission. And from a review of those of us that did not get pass the first cut,...

Limited Editions – Current Reality
I continue to contemplate the use of Limited Editions for my photographs after my lengthly discussion with Hal Gould while in Denver last week. There really is a lengthly list of pros and cons on this issue, but I guess it does come down to individual philosphy and creative intent. In reality, there is no limit to... Continue Reading →
Photolucida – Photo Reviews
I recently received an update from Photolucida (Portland, OR) that they are hosting a Nortwest Summer Portfolio Review. My article about the phtoto review that I participated at in Palms Springs received a lot of attention, thus I want to provide another opportunity, but regretfully it is already sold out! Bummer and I was giving this... Continue Reading →
Portfolio Reviews – my experience
Having completed a day of portfolio reviews the day before at the Palm Springs Photo Festival, I would like to share my thoughts about the entire process, especially for those who have not been through one, but are considering it. The portfolio review concept is based on you being able to meet with someone who's opinion... Continue Reading →
Palm Springs Photo Festival
Just a quick note that Miguel Garcia-Guzman (Exposure Compensation) and I are looking at our options for attending Connect 08, aka the Palm Springs Photo Festival, at the end of this Month. Were both thinking that we can squeeze in one day, but which? Monday is starting to look good to me at the moment.... Continue Reading →
