Motel, Los Angeles

Motel, La Cienega Boulevard

Was on my way to the eye doctor when I spotted this motel on the other side of the street. Felt great to actually get out of the car and capture an image with my IPhone 4.

Only a few more days in California then it is off to Perth and Melbourne, Australia.

Tree, Hudson Valley

Fallen Tree, Hudson Valley

 Today's image was captured during the fall foliage in October 2009 near Kaaterskill Falls in the Hudson Valley.

Los Angeles

Ghost Ranch, Abiqu

Still in Los Angeles and not shooting much the past few weeks. This is one of those periods where I spend a good deal of time trying to learn technology new to me by re-processing older images - mostly with NIK Color EFX pro and Viveza 2.

Weeping Rock, Zion National Park

The two images today fall into that category - Weeping Rock is from last year in Zion and Abiqu was from a workshop in New Mexico.

 I have been in Los Angeles the past few weeks- the city of Angels.

While here I have been spending time working on images for my show in November.  For the most part the show will consist of IPhone 4 images and a select group of  gold over platinum prints.

The show is called 'Allusions of Reality'  at the Renaissance Fine Art and Design Gallery in Carmel, Indiana. Dates are November 18 - December 31 with an opening reception on November 18 from 6PM - 8PM.

Majesty Unfolding/Allusions of Reality

In November I will be showing at the Renaissance Fine Art and Design Gallery in Carmel, Indiana. This is a two person show with my good friend Barbara M Ventura. Over the next few days I will be posting artist statements and bio information as it relates to the show.

This post will be the first of many 'shameless promotional' opportunities.

Postcards

View from hotel in Santa Monica

I am traveling today so thought I would post a link to the postcards I have been capturing and archiving for the past few months.

Some of these postcards along with a collection of 'platinum over gold leaf' images will be shown in Indianapolis, Indiana opening on November 18 (details shortly).

Stay tuned....

Edinburgh, Scotland

I guess this is a church image weekend...This one captured from my hotel room window in Edinburgh.

Mystical Creature

Flipping through the files today and this image caught my attention. This was an image from the Everglades trip earlier this year.

When I first returned from the Everglades I had been working on this image but stopped as I could not get the image in my head to match the one on the screen. Funny how that seems to happen over and over with ones work. You think it does not work and weeks, months later it takes on new meaning.

I seem to gravitate to water locations and had spent several days at this one - the structure of the rocks against the water kept drawing me back in and finally on the third day all the elements came together for this image. It was like being allowed to enter some mystical prehistoric parallel world.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes...

'No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen'......Minor White

Last Week

Bridge - Pittsburgh

The past 4 days have been a blur - finished up work in Yakima on Friday - flew to Pittsburgh on Saturday for a Sunday Wedding and then back to New York this morning.....

JM - Washington, PA

Along the way I captured several IPhone images and am posting them all today.

Good Morning Pittsburgh

Home for a week then off to the west coast...somewhere along the line I thought I had retired...

The image in the header is a re-worked Iceland Waterfall...

Urban Waterfall

MIssoula

Captured this image on the way to the Missoula airport a few days ago. Decided to leave it straight ahead - well sort of - but I did drop the grunge look this time.
