I've been helping out at the Photo Review again this year getting things together for the annual benefit auction next weekend. There is a lot of good work that you can usually pick up for a good bargain. Here are a few that I know are knockouts, and make me wish I had the cash to bid on them. I'm sure they are going to make it into a good home...
I can't believe this will be my fifth year participating inPhiladelphia's Open Studio Tour—going back to the first year at Project Basho and the mad dash to finish the gallery space. I will be showing tons of work from noon to 6 this Saturday and Sunday (Oct. 20, 21) at the Studios at 1241 Carpenter Street. It is a large studio building with a good group of diverse artists so be sure to check out some of the other people involved. I will be on the second floor so ask the person at the door for directions of just follow the signs.
Here is a link to the address with a map. Hope to see you there
I am thrilled to have a large platinum/palladium print from my Remote Sensing series in Philadelphia Photo Art Center's 3rd Annual Competition and Exhibition. The opening is tomorrow, July 12th, from 6-9. The openings at PPAC are always a blast and you can bet I'll be there all night.
Also currently on view is another large platinum/palladium print from the same series at Portland, Oregon's Newspace Center for Photography. The opening was last Friday, and I regret that I couldn't make it out West for it and catch up with old friends in the area.
I am out in California for another week continuing work on my Mojave Desert Artifact series. Here are two of the best finds yet: a hood from a late model honda and trunk deck off an old Plymouth. On Monday I will be "excavating" the skeleton of another refrigerator that has been half-buried for who knows how many years.
This month's featured print is another from my 2004 trip to Iceland, made on the Skaftafellsjökull glacier, in what is now Vatnajökull National Park.
About the Editions:
Since most of the work I regularly show is project-based, there are hundreds of images in my files that are never seen, or that I never made a priority to print. Now that I have been scanning and making enlarged negatives for platinum/palladium printing, I have been returning to some of the older work, and, in many cases, printing negatives for the first time.
As a way to bring some of these images out into the light, I will feature a new print each month as a limited-edition platinum/palladium or non-editioned inkjet print at a greatly reduced price to make my work more accessible to friends, new collectors, and fine-art photography enthusiasts.

The platinum/palladium edition is limited to 10 signed and numbered 7.5″x7.5″ prints on 11″x13″ 100% cotton rag Arches Platine, mounted and overmatted on 4-ply 16″x18″ Artcare Alpharag for a price of $200.
The inkjet edition is a signed 7.5″x.7.5″ print on 8.5″x11″ Hahnemuhle PhotoRag Pearl, mounted and overmatted on 2-ply 13″x15″ Artcare Alpharag for $25.

This first "print of the month" image is one of several that I made in the lava fields around Landmannalauger during a trip to Iceland in 2004, where I camped and photographed around the countryside for seven weeks.

I will be showing new work (and some from the archive) with a few other photographers at the Lightroom Salon Gallery in the Art Museum/Fairmount area of Philadelphia for POST. I didn't know if would be in Philadelphia for the tour when registration ended back in June so I do not have an individual artist page on the POST website, but here is a link to the gallery page.
Details: October 1st and 2nd from Noon to 6 at 2024 Wallace Street, 19130. Please call 215-609-5814 if you have any questions or need directions.
