I am pleased to have an e-card service featuring my work. NovaTerraGalleria is a Canadian operation.
It’s free and very high quality.

Clouds must be the most commonly photographed subject in the world, maybe next to dogs.
Here’s my attempt to show them in a new light.

Yet another honorable mention in the PX3’s 2008 competition. My images were entered in the category of Pro Fine Art Landscapes. Actually 6 images were honorably mentioned. I find myself in great company. Also honorably mentioned but missing the Big Mention, are respected photographers such as Stephen Shore, Howard Schatz, Michael Grecco, and Alex Telfer.
Here are the winners. And here are the honorable mentions.

Again, up early and wandering down the center of the street at sunrise- (what a luxury pre 6 a.m. to not worry about cars hogging the pavement), surveying the neighborhood arboreum. I am fascinated by this particular view/tree perspective - I can imagine photographing it over and over.

I have been invited to exhibit this November in Mexico at the First Annual Biennial Chapingo Contemporary Art Festival.
The First International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Chapingo 08, “Art with Roots in the Earth” will be celebrated in the Universidad Autónoma Chapingo, Texcoco, Estado de México, from 7 to 19 November 2008.
I’m pleased that I didn’t have to ‘qualify’ - this was the invitation’s accompanying statement: “The Organization Commitee has decided that is not necessary for you to go through the selection process in order to be accepted, given your professional experience.”
I will exhibit half a dozen images. Probably landscapes. At this point, I am not sure if my body will accompany my art, given my starving artist status has remain unchanged of late.
World famous Cezanne influenced Mexican painter Diego Rivera painted murals in Chapingo. He’s the guy who ended up twice marrying the unibrow Frida Kahlo.

If you’ve been watching carefully, you may have noticed that I’m building a new portrait series of people of all ages. They are all similarly posed, under similar lighting, and wearing white shirts. This series is called “Still White Light”. Here is one recent example - this is Angelina - 8 years old.
And here is another one of my friend Paul.

My daughter talked us into getting two kittens recently. We were still mourning for the loss of our 12 year plus cats, who both died within the last year. Anyhow, we weren’t that hard to convince. The seller did the ‘puppy dog close’ on us, and brought them over the day we phoned about their ad, and said “just keep them for the weekend”.
Note to self - try this with placing photographs in people’s houses for the weekend….
They are half tabby cat and half Rag Dolls. Boz is the boy and Peak is the girl. They are 13 weeks in these photos.

The dogs got me up this morning way too early, but it turned out to be a good thing, since I started a new series on trees, which astonishingly I haven’t paid much attention to yet. Astonishing to me anyways. I live in a house that must have 150 mature gigantic trees all around the perimeter, and the street has big mature trees as well. The best time to shoot them is of course right at sunup.
