Looking at one photograph at a time
Wow, what a week. This entire week was pretty topsy-turvey with the 2020 American elections and on Tuesday is was a toss-up as the voting counting for the day came to an end, but some good omens were becoming evident. Likewise Wednesday, Thursday into Friday, Biden & Harris were making strong gains and then on... Continue Reading →
While working on my roadside remembrance series, this was a memorial I came across in Victorville CA located on a I-15 frontage road at an intersection into a small neighborhood. I had photographed this in mid-October and the sustaining memorial had been prepared for the Halloween season. From what I heard, the mother of Mark,... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was an interesting day, essentially my first exhibition opening and group outing since last March when the pandemic shelter-in-place began. (Yes, if we had not been lied to by the WH Administration, we would probably started the shelter-in-place much sooner). Never-the-less, there were a couple of events hosted by The Photographer's Eye gallery during... Continue Reading →
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. I am featuring another of my summer inspired paintings from my artist book Bluewater Shore and with the current temperature, it seems to make sense to me to share a summer inspired painting. Similar... Continue Reading →
I am very honored to formally announce my next solo exhibition, which will be held at The Photographer's Eye gallery, located in Escondido, CA that will open February 20th and extend through March 20th, 2021. A really wonderful way to start the new year in 2021! I will be exhibiting thirteen images from my Memory... 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 →
