Fine Art Photographs
If you’d like to see what I’ve been up to the past year, new work is always posted in the galleries. I’ve spent a lot of time travelling this past year, from my beloved Black Hills, to Corsica & Sardinia, and Tahiti. I’ve been spending less time travelling to shows, and more time actually making pictures.
If you’d like to see some of my latest work. come visit me at your local show. See the schedule, below.
The Artistic Process
Find out more about my shooting style, my hand-made custom frames, and how each piece is crafted from scratch. Starting with reclaimed barnwood, the process takes time. From washing the old wood, to milling it to my exact specifications, it’s a lot of fun, but it’s also a lot of work. Details here…
Books
No wall space, but you love the work? I’ve published several limited edition books that highlight the best images from my series “A Disappearing Landscape” and “Stories Told In Things Left Behind”. I can also help you publish your own work. Check out “Telling Your Story” for more…
Walking: the Changes, a book of poetry by Linda M. Hasselstrom with photographs by me continues to be a great gift. This link will take you directly to a PayPal page, where you can purchase copies signed by both Linda and myself.
Setting the Schedule
Getting into shows is much more involved than most people think. We, as artists, apply yearly to most of the shows we do. After filling out an application with images of current work (mostly online these days), and paying a application fee, a jury looks over our work and passes judgement as to whether or not we get to come back again this year.
Once we’ve been accepted, we pay a booth fee for the space at the show. If we’re lucky, the show staff is helpful, friendly and cares about the artists. Everything else we bring with us — the tents, the display panels, the bins, and most importantly, the work.
