Absolute Blogmusings from an absolutely blank mind In The Heart Of Texas!I am thrilled to have had a picture selected for an exhibition in a gallery (and a State!) that's new for me. The gallery is the A Smith Gallery in Johnson City, Texas - just outside Austin. The exhibition theme is "Forgotten" and has some absolutely wonderful work in it, selected by juror, Blue Mitchell, an independent publisher, curator, educator, and photographer based in Portland, Oregon. You can view the selected work here. My image, "Time Out", was actually taken at the Tate Modern Gallery in London earlier this year. Time Out
Exhibition dates | September 19 to November 2, 2014 Reception | September 27 & October 25, 2014 both 4 to 7pm Address | A Smith Gallery, 105 N Nugent Ave, Johnson City, TX 78636. Email | [email protected] Hours | Friday/Saturday noon to 6pm, Sunday noon to 3pm and by appointment.
More Water In VermontThis month I will be exhibiting again at the PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont. I have two pictures selected for the show, "WATER: ELEMENTAL AND FUNDAMENAL" - one in the gallery, and another online. The juror for this show is Laura Moya, the Director of Photolucida for over eight years. Laura has been a juror/curator for many prestigious prestigious photographic exhibitions and galleries, including the annual "Critical Mass" event. The two images selected are "Galaxies" (a night shot of coins in a fountain), and "Natural" (a drainage pipe in Tamalpias State Park with the inside of the pipe illuminated by flash.)
The Exhibition runs from September 23rd to October 17th, 2014. Arts Walk Reception: Friday, October 10th, 5:30-7:00 pm

Three In A Row
A new month, a new featured image. This is a strange one, and proof that you can find interesting images just about anywhere. Even in the lobby of a hotel!
Who has three identical pictures of the same thing? And if they did, why would they hang them all together? Perhaps it was a bulk purchase! The repetition seems a way of underlining a point. Just to be completely sure. It reminded me of a film I saw once about the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein in which he is walking through an orchard, saying "that's a tree, and that's a tree, and that's a tree ....". Hence my title! Comments and thoughts welcome as ever. Dance of LightIt's time to switch out my featured image - this time it's back to another of my obsessions: reflections in shop windows. No, this is not a double exposure, just a regular old photo. If you'd been standing where I was, you'd have seen the same thing.
The trapped bubbles in the window film, and the swirled scratches provide a unique foreground to the multiple layers of depth that's characteristic of these reflection images. I love the ambiguity and mystery that every one of these reflection pictures seems to bring. So why "Jazz"? Well, I've been doing a lot of concert photography recently (check some of it out HERE), and something about the image reminds me of the angularity, interplay and complex structure of Jazz ...and, if you look closely, you'll see the word is (almost) in there! Moving ImagesI just wanted to let you all know that I'll be taking part in another exhibition at the 1650 Gallery in Los Angeles, opening this month. This time I'll have two images in the show: Show: " IN MOTION", 1650 Gallery (Los Angeles, CA) As you can see, the theme of this show is motion. My images "Christmas in Monterey" and "Carousel" were selected by juror/curator Andrew Overtoom for gallery exhibition:

Just for grins, HERE are some photos of the opening reception for the previous show at the 1650 (my image "San Fransisco from the South" was in it - because of the awkward shape, I decided to let them print and frame that one. This time, I'm printing and matting!)
