The show runs until the end of April, so make sure to visit the gallery before then!

Please join me at the opening of my new show The Floating World: New Photographic Works. The show features several different series I’ve been working on over the last two years, including some large double-exposures, landscapes and a series of images that pays homage to Japanese woodblock prints, using a combination of photographs and appropriated imagery. 

The prints are a mix of paper-based and transmounted, almost all limited edition and all signed. The pieces range in size from 36″ wide down to some 10″x10″ squares of market images, ideal for displaying in a kitchen.

Please stop by the opening reception on Thursday April 12, 2012 from 7-9pm at Dales Gallery. All welcome: please extend this invitation to friends, coworkers, etc.

The show runs from April 5 – May 1, so if you can’t make opening night, please pop into the gallery during the run – I’d love to hear your comments.

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.

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…

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.

Sunset across the caldera viewed from Fira, on the island of Santorini. It’s hard to find a place this photogenic.

This elegant winding stair can be found in the back garden of the Musée du Moyen Age in Paris, tucked away in a shadowed corner.

This textured door in Greece caught my eye right away. As always, the colours used in this part of the world are stunning.

This image of Ogden Point, on an early, foggy morning is brand new – in fact, I haven’t even decided on an edition yet. It’s such serene place early in the morning; no one else around. You feel like you could just walk right into the fog and disappear.

I’d like to print it very large, backmounted, custom-sized for a large space in someone’s home or office.
