Looking at one photograph at a time
Ryuten Paul Rosenblum - Japan Temple Wall – Nanzenji The Southeast Center for Photography (SEC4P) had a recent call for Abstract (photography), juried by Blue Mitchell. The exhibition call was looking for non-representational imagery from found objects in nature, man-made or figurative works and images that do not attempt to represent external reality, but seek to achieve its...

I am not sure where I recall reading that Abstraction in art is relative to the eyes of the beholder. Or maybe that's just my rendition on the subject. Last month I wrote about my current 'Cover-19' series inspired by Quantum Mechanics and particle physics that explains some of the things we see if we... Continue Reading →
Wow, still hot in Southern California (over 85F), while there is already snow in Colorado and elsewhere in the United States. So featuring another of my summer inspired paintings from my artist book Bluewater Shore still seems to make sense to me. Similar to my earlier post about my painting Summer Gang, this is another...

I am very honored to formally announce my two-person exhibition at The Photographer's Eye gallery, located in Escondido, CA that will open January 16th and extend through February 13th, 2021. A really nice way to start the new year in 2021! I will be exhibiting thirteen images from my Memory Pods series in conjunction with... Continue Reading →
Another of my acrylic paintings inspired by my artist book Bluewater Shore. Similar to other paintings in this series, it is very representational with some abstract background elements. Obvious to me is my inconsistent rendering of the figures, but also why I consider this is more of a study. In retrospect I note that in... Continue Reading →
In yesterdays post about my new series Quantum Elements and a small series within in the larger body of work that I am calling Time-Refractory Abstractions, I suspect that the image I shared might be a bit visually overwhelming. There is a lot going on within the image. Nevertheless, I think that makes it a... Continue Reading →
I think that I have known this for some time; I seem to work a little bit better when working on a dead line, especially when the due date is rapidly approaching. Case in point, an open call for submissions for 'Abstract Photography', with a deadline of Oct 4th. Thus the my new COVID-19 series... Continue Reading →
Over the last couple of days I have been working on my limited edition artist book that I will provide to each participant in my Medium Photo book development workshop, which will be starting later this month. Usually this is a bit of surprise on the first day of class when I start the workshop... Continue Reading →
picture With the passing of another Labor Day holiday weekend, it is always a nice time to fondly look back on the various summer events. Perhaps with the exception of this year, as with an out-of-control pandemic raging in America, this was anything but a wonderful summer. No family gatherings, vacation trips, celebration parties, exhibition... Continue Reading →
Growing up, Labor Day meant that as a kid that summer vacation was coming to an end and the school year was about to start, usually later that week. Since summer vacation was about over, that also meant that the cooler fall weather would be quickly approaching. In the mid-west state of Michigan, that meant... Continue Reading →
