Water 2016: October 7 – 29, 2016

Center for Fine Art Photography, 400 North College Ave., Fort Collins, CO. 10/7-10/29/16.
Reception: October 7, 6 – 8 pm.

Raindrops on Car, Red
 
My piece ‘Raindrops on Car, Red‘ will be included in an exhibit curated by Richard McCabe on the theme of Water. 55 images were selected from a submission of 1,745 entrees.


From the Juror’s statement:

Life on earth is made possible because of water. The surface of the Earth is over 75% water. Human blood is over 90% water. Mankind’s complex and interconnected relationship with water makes for unlimited possibilities for photographic exploration. Water can sustain human life and it can destroy cities. Issues of water rights, droughts, hurricanes, and rising sea levels permeate the headlines.

Water 2016 features many varied and diverse approaches to the visualization of water in contemporary photography.


Water is very photogenic. It can be opaque or translucent, textured or smooth, it can be still or moving; it shimmers and reflects light. Water can be photographed from above and below its surface. Its colors and tonal range change with temperature and light.”

Gallery-wide show on the theme of photographers’ choice of different visual points of view. Each of the solo shows in the gallery record interesting visual qualities found in the mundane, commonplace world around us, when seen from a specific, physical point of view.

Included are ‘Looking Down’, ‘Looking Up’, ‘Looking Closely’, ‘Looking Through’.. and my exhibit, ‘Looking Narrowly’ (Bay #3). Come join us for this unique show.


With photographers Wayne Parsons and Ron Meisel at the opening.

Artist Statement: “I have done several sets of “People Walking” series with varying points of view. This group of images show very fragmented bits of people (and dogs), and the ground for the first time plays an important role. What is missing from the frame is as important, or more so, than what has been included. Bodies are moving in and out of the picture; where the people are going and why remains a mystery. But wherever they are headed, they move with purpose and at that fast pace for which New Yorkers are known.


These images foreshadow my later ground-oriented pictures (where I remove the human element entirely); I see these photos as a hybrid of the two bodies of work. The walking pictures are all about motion, the ground pictures are about moving slowly and paying attention. These “Looking Narrowly” images have a little of both, pulling the viewer in all sorts of directions.”

Attendee at Fotofest: March 17 – 20, 2016

I am happy to be headed to Houston in March to participate in the portfolio reviews at Fotofest 2016 Biennial.

From the Fotofest website: “A place where photographic artists, arts professionals, collectors, and colleagues network, collaborate, share ideas, and establish life-long connections. The 2016 Meeting Place will connect 120 international decision-makers, with over 400 artists, over 16 days. The FotoFest Meeting Place is the largest event of its kind in the world.”

I will be showing my work to 20 reviewers from around the world, and I will be participating in an “Evenings with the Artists Open Portfolio Night” in downtown Houston at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel, 400 Dallas Street, Houston, TX from 7 – 9 pm.

Wish me luck!
