Yesterday, I felt like crap. Which is how one usually feels when they are beset with a bacterial infection, especially in the earlier stages and the meds have not fully taken effect (e.g. some bacteria is still creating some internal havoc). About all that I could accomplish yesterday was to look for an image that... Continue Reading →
Diary; July 29th 2020 – Surreal Infections
This has not been a fun week or a fun month. So now I am in the midst of fighting a second infection and taking precautions that the two meds don't interact. This is also messing with my diet, exercise plan, day-job, and all things creative. Thank goodness this is not COVID related, but the... Continue Reading →
Diary; July 21st 2020 – Low-Energy Day
So for some reason today has started out as what I would call a Low-Energy Day. Just don't feel inspired to really do anything at all, maybe just go back to bed. I think that the current events of the lurking dangers of COVID-19, the total lack of Federal government leadership in America to control this... Continue Reading →
Diary; July 19th – Website updates
The one aspect of a maintaining an artistic website is that it's relatively 'static', which really means that it just lurks out there in never-space just waiting for someone to find it. Not something I find myself constantly tweaking or adding content. Versus social media, like this blog, that is consider 'active', where I am... Continue Reading →
Diary; July 18th, 2020 – Photographing COVID-19
First, just to be sure we are on the same page that with the naked eye we cannot see a virus like COVID-19, least photographing it as these micro particles are just too damn small. Which is why the pandemic is such an issue; you cannot see the lurking danger. You can see a human... Continue Reading →
Diary; July 16th, 2020 – Memory Pods
The fifth year of photographing my botanical subjects that comprise my Memory Pods series has somewhat drawn to an end. I now have another small collection of dried twigs and seed pods to play with later this year. The flowering/seeding cycle for my backyard plants starts sometime in March and ends towards the end of... Continue Reading →
Preparing a print for a new home
I am in the midst of preparing one of my Bewilderment photographic prints for a new home, courtesy of Los Angles Center of Photography's (LACP) Artsy.net exhibition. The exhibition ran through June 30th, that I announced earlier. This is one of the smaller print in an edition of five and the image size is 7" x... Continue Reading →
Memory Pods > 3D virtual exhibition
I am very honored to be included in a new 3-Dimensional virtual gallery exhibition with Fabrik Projects, Here Comes the Sun, featuring artwork from my Memory Pod series. On top of that, the Beatles (hopefully the exhibition title seems just a little familiar) was one of my favorite bands in the late 1960's. I had... Continue Reading →
Gardening For Ordnance – Text + Photo
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 →
Gardening For Ordnance – exploring the concept with expired film
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 →
