The Art Of Silence

preview

Well it's been a while. I was kind of burnt out after my last show. It was a lot of work putting everything together. While I'm eternally grateful for every opportunity I get to display my work, it sometimes kind of takes the fun out of things. It took me a while to want to take pictures again.


I finally decided to just do a simple shoot and not put too much thought into it. I love theater and I'm crazy about any form of dance. Jane had this cute costume she put together for Halloween that inspired this shoot.

Lighting in progress, not looken so great.

All I wanted was to sort of fake kind of a stage look and make the character feel alone in a vast dark space.


I ran into a bunch of problems which took me far too long to figure out. By the time we started shooting I was pooped. As always, I learned a ton and had a lot of fun.

Lauren hard at work.

I feel very lucky to have friends who are willing to give up entire days to collaborate on my projects. Thank you very much Lauren and Jane!

Home sweet home

Took these this summer with my TLR camera.

Ella on top of the Tiaun.

The Tiaun is a 8,875 ft / 2,705 m mountain peak in Graubünden, Switzerland. It is one of my favorite mountains. The view from the peak is breathtaking.

Our neighbors on the Schmittner Alp. The husband is an amazing painter.

And here we have the last of the fruit images. It's very unfortunate that I didn't get this one done in time for the show. Once I saw all the images on the wall it all came together. I was doubting this whole thing (size, frame, print) up until I hung the images. Then I was sorry this one was missing. Lauren was awesome and we managed to get through this shoot even though it was a crazy day.

Nikki Queen Of Pears

Took me long enough. The last few weeks are a blur. Too many things happening right now. All good things though. Just finished prepping my stuff for a group show in Vermont and am trying to get the prints done for my August show. Did I mention how much I hate dealing with printing. It's such a pain getting everything right.

Anyway, big thank you to Nikki and Lauren for their help on this shoot. I had to do a quick pass through the images, I might go back and take another look when I have more time.

This weekend I'm hoping to do some drawing. I need a break from all the photography stuff.

Oh and if you haven't seen the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the MET........ go see it. It's amazing, inspiring, breathtaking...... just beautiful stuff. Pick a good time to go, the lines can be long. I went at 8pm on a Friday which turned out to be a good call. Seriously though, go see it.
