Looking at one photograph at a time
Now that I have my Memory Pods photographs framed for the December group show at Fabrik Projects, I am back to working on my Gardening For Ordnance project again. As I have stated on numerous occasions, I enjoy working with a physical book-dummy, thus I need to print. With my new Canon printer, I feel... Continue Reading →
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.

My attention to my Middle Ground artist book has been on hiatus for a short time; in retrospect I think that all of the leporello book binding I completed for this artist book edition in conjunction with preparing for the solo exhibition really took it out of me. It was pretty intense experience, but when a... Continue Reading →
I am very excited to have two of my Memory Pods photographs, including Changes, above, included in the Fabrik Projects Gallery's Summer Group Show. 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 →
