About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

>>>> Comments, commentary and lively discussions, re: my writings or any topic germane to the medium and its apparatus, are vigorously encouraged.

For every exhibition the PhotoPlace Gallery publishes a POD exhibition catalog. This morning I received a link to a proof of the Alternative Cameras: Pinhole to Plastic catalog* for review of my info and I was pleasantly surprised to see my accepted entry on the intro spread - and on a regular catalog page as well - of the catalog. Nice.

In any event, yesterday, was the submission deadline for the In Celebration of Trees exhibition. My submissions are displayed in this entry. And, as you can see, they are all B&W pictures. While I had many color pictures of trees which would have been very suitable submissions, I found that some were very well suited to B&W conversion as I mentioned in a previous entry. So, B&W it is.

While submitting my ICoT pictures, I came across a call for entries for the next exhibition, Photo Noir. I immediately thought that I had a few pictures which might be suitable for that exhibition so I went into my picture library and, lo and behold, I had 42 pictures that most certainly qualify as photo noir.

Once again, I have "discovered" a hidden body of work within the 6,800+ finished / finals pictures in my photo library. Makes me wonder what I will "discover" next.

*I believe anyone can access the proof here. FYI, there are currently 79 exhibition catalogs which can be viewed in their entirety. Just click on the View More link at the bottom right of the Author's Bookstore (which is just below the catalog preview.
