A Few More Photos of 'Night'

The "Night" exhibition at the Center for Fine Art Photography just came down, and Sunshine Divis (a Programs Manager at the CFAP) sent out a few photographs of the exhibition. Here are a few from her:

From the center of the gallery (my work is just behind that partial wall).

Work Up at the Anderson Center

I posted last month about an exhibition I was asked to be a part of in Red Wing at the Anderson Center. My boys and I went down to the event last Saturday. Here are a few photos:

Some legitimate art in their permanent collection.




A Warhol "Mao" in the corner.


Upstairs there was art all throughout the hallways.


"The Barn" is quite the structure, and is beautiful inside.


More art in the cafeteria.


My work in the main gallery.

My boys running through the gallery.


My 5-year-old wanted his photo taken by one of my pieces. So I'll end this post with that. :)

'Night' at the Center for Fine Art Photography

The opening reception for "Night" at the Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins was Friday night. On Saturday, I stopped back for a portfolio review with the gallery director. After that, I snapped a few photos of the exhibition:

'Night' Opening Reception at the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado

Last night, my wife and I enjoyed the opening reception for "Night" at the Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado. Here are a few photos from the opening:

Gallery director Hamidah Glasgow introducing a few of the photographers.


Me giving a quick talk about my work.


People chatting.


In the other gallery (filled with a nice portfolio show) looking into the main gallery.


A bookcase in the lobby had an enviable collection of photo books.
(As well as some old-school "decorations" on the top.)




The FIRST thing I had to check on when I got to the gallery was to make sure that
my 32" x 41" homemade frame survived the trip. It still had nice and tight joints. Sweet.


My wife's dweeby photo of me and my piece.


A photo that I Instagrammed of my wife and I at the opening.


We had a great/long chat with Brandie (photographer with red hair) and her husband
at the reception. And then Hamdiah (the gallery director) joined us. Lots of laughs.

I had some nice conversations about my work with about a half dozen people - 1 older man taught at Iowa State for years (so we talked about Garrison Keillor and midwest winters), and one couple where the husband worked for Ilford his entire life. Very friendly people and great conversations!

Check back in a few days: I'll have some more photos of the exhibition itself that I made this morning after I had a portfolio review with Hamidah.

Portfolio Prints

I recently printed a lot of work from my "4 a.m." series to take with me to Colorado when I head out there for the opening of the "Night" exhibition at the Center for Fine Art Photography. I'm not bringing all of these prints, but I wanted to print some of them just to see how they looked. Here are some 11" x 17" prints of some older and some newer 4 a.m. work:

Fine tuning a print.

I've never had a formal critique of this series, so I'm excited to be able to meet with the gallery director to get some of her feedback.

Delivering Pieces for a "Summer Celebration" at the Anderson Center

I made a trip down to Red Wing today to drop 5 pieces off at the Anderson Center for an upcoming event.

The tower at the Anderson Center.


The house I stayed in as part of my residency 10 years ago. My bedroom was the upper left window.


I Instagrammed these photos with the caption "Spent the morning in Red Wing with my boys.
We had to deliver some artwork of mine for an upcoming exhibition at the Anderson Center. (I was
an artist-in-residence there 10 years ago.) The Center's director let the boys feed the baby turtle!
We also played at an awesome park, watched big tugboats go up the Mississippi, and ate pizza."

The director Chris contacted me and asked me to show some of my "4 a.m." work at their summer celebration. Here are a few snapshots from their big flyer about the event next month:

My boys and I hope to make the trip back for the event. They loved running around on the expansive grounds at the Anderson Center.
