New York Photo Review

This was a review from a few weeks ago on the Krappy Kamera Show.  My print got a brief mention!  Kind of cool!

Shot using my original Diana with Kodak Portra VC Film.  Taken in Hawaii.

The 4th Annual Juried Plastic Camera Show

I've been so busy that I forgot to announce that I had two images accepted into The 4th Annual Juried Plastic Camera Show at Rayko Photo Gallery in San Francisco.  The top image has never been accepted into a show prior to this one.  I shot it using my Holga and Kodak 400 T-Max film.   The bottom image was the very first image I ever had accepted into a show about a year ago.  I shot it using my Brownie Hawkeye (with a flipped lens) using Kodak 100 T-Max film.  I develop my own film and do my own printing in a traditional wet darkroom.

Krappy Kamera XIII

     I'm excited to announce that I had this image accepted into the ever popular Krappy Kamera Show.  This is the big one, meaning it's the longest running toy and plastic camera show in existence.   The judges for the show were Phillip S. Block and Steve Rooney of The International Center of Photography in New York City.  I feel very honored to have had an image accepted.
    I shot this image last year when Karl and I were in New York City for the opening of last year's Krappy Kamera Opening.  The show runs from March 1st - April 2nd, 2011.  Here is a link to Soho's website.  They should have an on-line gallery of all accepted images shortly.  Click here to view Soho Photos Web Gallery.  Scroll to the bottom of Soho's page to view galleries.

Holga-Out-of-the-Box

I found out today that I had this image accepted into the "Holga, Out-of-the-Box" show.  I'm very excited and honored.  I shot this image this fall at a  Cycloross Bike Race in Portland, Oregon.  The first roll I shot I accidentally had my camera set on "Bulb" and the entire roll was way over-exposed.  There was one image that I thought had potentinal so I went out the next week and shot in a similar situation using a ND filter so as not to over-expose so much.  I was pleased with the results and am hoping to explore shooting more on "Bulb" while hand holding the camera.  Here is a link to the press release http://www.tccphoto.com/blog/?p=137

Ten Lords a Leapin'

     On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me....Ten lords a leapin' ...plus a bunch of other stuff. 

Eiffel's Pony

I have finally had some time to get in the darkroom and print.  I shot this image this spring in Paris.  This carousel is right next to the Eiffel Tower.  This print didn't scan too well.  The whites are not so blown out in the print.
