"Elements of Water"

"Elements of Water" is the current exhibition at the Center for Fine Art Photography. I am excited to announce that one of my photographs was juried into the show.
The exhibition will be on display until March 11, 2010
The artist's and public reception is on March 5, 2010 from 6-9pm at the Center's main gallery.

For those of you who cannot visit the gallery in Fort Collins, CO you can see all photographs online.

My contribution to the show is number 45 (toward the end). But do not just skip there directly because you will be skipping over a lot of wonderful photographs.

Enjoy the Photos!

Three more weeks to go

I spent an entire afternoon last weekend with Lisa who has only three more weeks to go until the big day. I felt almost bad chasing her around from one ‘pose’ to the next … having her climb on to the bed … sit … kneel … lay on one side … then the other. Lisa had a couple of dresses that she wanted to try on … and I suggested jeans. I love the casual and relaxed feel of barefoot jeans and t-shirt … you just can’t beat that.

Together we came up with a more and more ideas where and how to photograph. We took our time and had a lot of fun. So we ended up with a variety of pictures that we are both very excited about.




… I wish I could see her daughter’s face the day she get the photos out … “Look! This is what Mommy looked like when you were still inside my tummy.”

It is cold in New York in February

This weekend was amazing!

We went to New York to drop off the print for the Krappy Kamera Show. The current exhibitions are wonderful too. We laughed so hard it hurt while looking at "My Potholes".

We stayed the night in the Chelsea Hotel, a wonderful weird place, a mixture of run down and luxury that is loaded with art and history.
And we met with some old friends.

... and a new one: M i r a.
Mira managed to distract the waiter at Le Pain Quotidien to a point where he was incapable of taking our orders. Like hypnotized he was just standing there, smiling at her, could not move his eyes away. Ahhh the power of a one year old!

Fashion Fun

I love venturing into fashion every now and then ... like I did tonight. I wish I had more time for this. I just got back from the studio, and once again I couldn't let it go. I had to edit and play with PhotoShop a little. Since my eyes are falling shut as I type I will just leave you with some impressions from this fun shoot ...

Krappy Kamera

A letter arrived from the SOHO PHOTO Gallery in New York City. I had entered some prints in a competition called "Krappy Kamera", an annual juried show for photos taken with minimal ("junky") cameras and lenses such as the Holga, pinhole cameras, or Lensbaby. (The Lensbaby is the lens my brother calls the "The Three Tequila Shot Lens" because of the blur you get from it.)

The Krappy Kamera competitions’s motto is: “In the hands of an artist, great photographs can be made with minimal equipment.” As if getting accepted to the show was not hard enough, the contest was opened for international participation in 2009. My first thought when I saw the envelope was: “Odd, I didn't think they would mail a rejection letter with the post.” [For the last couple of years I had checked their website for the list of accepted photographers just to find my name to be not on it.]

Only then did it dawn to me that maybe this time it was not a rejection. SOHO PHOTO had accepted one of my prints into the Krappy Kamera XII show for March of this year!

I am very excited to be part of it, having been selected as one of forty-eight artists from several hundred who submitted their work. To add to the excitement, the accepted print “Lydia & Ducky” is the signature photo for our blog and a foundation sample of the work we do at Creative Momentz.
