Tuesday Fly By (and Flash Sale)

I'll be at the show this Tuesday, December 16th,  1-2 o'clock before I head off to Northern California for the holidays. I'd welcome a chance to see folks I've missed.

The show is up until the end of the month, but this is the time you might want to purchase one of the prints. Most are $100 (framed and matted) and there are a variety of matted but unframed prints of similar quality and subject matter for $35 and $50. They would make excellent gifts.

For those who join me on Tuesday, I'll provide an additional 10% discount on all items.

The Forum Bookstore handles all of the sales and a portion goes toward their excellent projects. If you purchase a print in the show, it will remain until the show closes at the end of the month, marked by a red dot. The matted but unframed prints may be picked up immediately, however.

Size, medium and price information are now on this blog for each of the thirteen featured prints, starting below the audio tour link. The same information is on the labels beneath the prints and on the back of the unframed prints.

The Claremont Forum Bookstore is in the old Packing House on 1st Street. The show is up during the month of December.  During the week the hours are

Sunday - Thursday • 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Friday - Saturday • 12:00 PM - 9:00 PM

The Claremont Forum Bookshop & Gallery is located on the first floor of the
Claremont Packing House at the far west end.

Audio Tour: DIMENSIONS

Here's a clockwise tour starting from the "Owl Landing" on the east wall and then progressing in order along the south wall.

Owl Landing

If one views the show in a clockwise direction, one would start here on east wall. The background on this print follows. I'll continue in this direction with the prints on south wall.

A visit to the Chateau Josephine Baker yielded a falconry demonstration as well. Only the “falcon” was an owl! I used a small part of the captured image leading to my “Most Promising Zoom (Almost).” 

The action of the owl is not stopped but the connection between the owl and the trainer is intense.

Dordogne, France
Ultrachrome, B&W, 11x14, framed and matted, $100

Beynac Castle

This is the best castle ever. Richard 1st was imprisoned here. But it’s also my best perspective correction. Can you tell?

Dordogne, France

Ultrachome, 11x14, framed and matted, $100

Cyclist & Passenger

Not the longest exposure, but among the longest (successful) of my low-light pans. About 1/8th of a second.

Hoi An, Viet Nam

Ultrachrome, 11x14, framed and matted, $100

Clockwise Up

I took this in 2005 and have reworked the file several times, most recently for a show at the Art Intersection Gallery in Gilbert, AZ. The dimension I award to this print is “Best Results from a Difficult Negative.” Note original picture taken in shade with a 3 meg point-and-shoot.

Singing Sands, Dunhuang, China

Palladium, 16x20, framed and matted, $250
