Looking at one photograph at a time
My recent batches of expired 120 film that I am using for my Gardening For Ordnance project has been providing some pretty drastic visual effects. "Off-color" transparencies would be an understatement. For last week's unaltered scanned film, here, the resulting image really did not have much yellow left in the film. The resulting visually off-kilter... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I took a day trip down to San Diego to meet up with some of my editorial and operational team at the Medium Festival. Primarily we were there to meet up with the documentary photographer Louie Palu for an interview I have in process for publication with PhotoBook Journal. Okay, we were also interested in...

Pease be advised: Do not try to adjust your monitor! The colors you are looking at are indeed "unique". One of the interesting aspects of using expired 120 film is not knowing what might come back from the processing laboratory.

This is a quick assessment following up on my recent article about preparing for a Portfolio Review, which I had the pleasure (and angst) to be sitting on both sides of the review table.

It was pretty intense experience, but when a... Continue Reading →

This is an exhibition of the Fabrik Projects Gallery's represented artists and for me another nice validation of this on-going project. The Opening reception is Saturday, August 10th, from 6...

Today, June 6th, 2019 is the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of France during WWII that eventually lead to the end of that terrible war. Also a day to remember my father who took part of this event who was in the Second Army (Amour Division), and if I recall, he stated that... Continue Reading →
One of the interesting outcomes of preparing to make my Gardening For Ordnance publication submissions is that I am gaining better clarity on the pre-visualization of the pending book (yes, there is always another book in my future). It also became apparent that I have a bunch more color film negatives to scan (and maybe a... Continue Reading →
