Looking at one photograph at a time
Yesterday afternoon and into the early evening The Photographer's Eye gallery hosted the opening reception for my solo exhibition of my Memory Pods series in conjunction with the solo exhibition of Louise Russell's botanical studies, Ways of Knowing.

I am in the midst of getting everything ready for my solo exhibition opening this afternoon of my Memory Pods series at The Photographer's Eye gallery, which I will be leaving for Escondido within the hour.

I have been puzzling over the resulting artwork that stems from my interest in science when using the landscape as my subject for investigation. I think it is helping to work on my artist statement, while doing so this week, I thought back to the presentation that Meghann Riepenhoff provided at Medium Photo a couple... Continue Reading →
This weekend I found myself spending a lot of time just staring (studying?) the initial prints from my new series Quantum Elements.
