H2O

December 06, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

Water is fundamental to life, and a signature part of our Planet. It takes many forms and many moods - which makes it a popular subject for photography. H2O is the title - and theme - of the upcoming exhibition at the Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, Vermont, curated by Gary Braasch.

Gary is an environmental photojournalist and writer who's work has been published by Time, LIFE, New York Times Magazine, Discover, Smithsonian, National Geographic and Scientific American among many others. He received the Ansel Adams Award from the Sierra Club and in 2010 he was named as one of the Forty Most Influential Nature Photographers by Outdoor Photography magazine.

The exhibition runs from December 10th through January 16th 2016.

I'm very lucky to have TWO of my images "Shore Line", and "Playing on the Edge of the World" selected for the show. Both images will be on display in the gallery:

It's about time I posted another random photo. Here are some soap bubbles inside a machine at the MIT Museum in Boston:

Anyone for Tennis? ...or not.

Just in time for Christmas. One of my images, "​Love-Love" is included in the 2015 PHOTOcentric exhibition at the Garrison Art Center, Garrison, New York from December 6th through January 10th. 

My image is a triptych of photographs taken at a derelict tennis court in an old Naval shipyard - obviously no tennis will be happening here anytime soon. Hence the title.

Each of the three images is raised above the black background to give the whole piece a 3D look:

This year's juror was Julie Saul, owner of the Julie Saul Gallery in New York (in Chelsea for a decade following 15 years in Soho), Julie has taught and lectured at Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, New York University, Christies, Sotheby's, and the School of Visual Arts. The selection process for PHOTOcentric is  "blind" (ie. jurors are not given the names of the artists) and submissions come from amateur and professional photographers across the world.

Call Me The Master!

No it's not a reference to Doctor Who!

Rather, the Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction Vermont has just listed me among their "Darkroom Gallery Masters"! 

This is in recognition of being selected for at least six exhibitions at the Darkroon Gallery in Essex Junction Vermont over the past three years.  "Darkroom Gallery Masters" are photographers who create works that jurors repeatedly select due to content, concept, mastery of formal photographic elements and creative approach. - See more here.

Different outside curators, or jurors, are chosen to select works for each exhibition. These are typically well known photographers, educators or gallerists. Entries for each show are submitted to the Juror for that exhibit anonymously. The juror does not know the name of the photographer or if two photos were taken by the same photographer and has sole discretion as to their selections.

I have two images in the current gallery exhibition at Darkroom, Oddity, and I will also have two in the next exhibition, H2O, coming up in December.

Thanks Darkroom!
