Today’s Featured Print: Arles Staircase

Arles Staircase (10″ x 15″, Edition of 25, $350 Unframed)

My last featured print for the year, Arles Staircase was captured in a stairwell off Arles’ central church cloister. The unusual light was what drew me and I had a rare moment when no one was in the shot.

Today’s Featured Print: Santorini Passageway

Santorini Passageway (13.7″ x 20.5″, Edition of 20, $350 Unframed)

When I passed this small passageway, Is stopped in my tracks. I must have spent 20 minutes in this same spot, trying multiple minute variations in angle and exposure, panicked I would miss such a perfect image. I think my wife kept going for a good ten minutes before realizing I wasn’t behind her anymore…

Today’s Featured Print: London Rain

The one that started it all: London Rain (16.5″ x 12.5″, Edition of 25, $300 Unframed)

Prior to this trip to London, my primary medium was acrylic paint. I had just purchased my first digital camera, reluctantly traded in my trusty Olympus OM-1 and was visiting my cousin in England. The fluidity of transferring the digital images I captured on the trip to Photoshop and then being able to work in a simulated painting/darkroom environment was very exciting and I quickly found myself eschewing paint for camera and mouse/stylus. This image blends photography with digital painting techniques.
