The Journey Continues

Some new work - three Pinhole/ICM images. I recently got some prints done and feel encouraged that the quality holds up in the 9"x 9" images. The big question now is will that be true for 18"x 18" prints.
Details at eleven. K

At It Again

Some recent images from my exploration of ICM pinhole. There has been an addition of figurative elements to some of the works, but others are pure abstract. I am unsure what figurative ones are all about, or if they have any lasting value. However I keep being pulled along two paths. Have to have faith that it is the right path(s) at least for now .

Off the Rails Again

Have been working on some new ICM images. Despite the fact that the process is pretty far removed from what is considered photography, I find that I keep being drawn back to the technique. No doubt my having been a abstract expressionist painter long ago feeds into the whole process, and making the work seems to feed some part of my creative drive. At any rate, here is some of the results. Kurt

P.S. All of these ICM images are shot using a digital camera fitted with a pinhole lens. Some times I also use a ND filter to increase the exposure times. The idea is to have a long enough exposure time to allow controlled movement. I am really painting with light and and this technique is a way to reach that end.

Trying Something Different

These are some images that I have produced recently using flypaper screens. The are for the most part the color versions of some of my black and white Lensbaby shots. I am still learning the process of finding what works for me and what doesn't. I am not sure what to think of them yet, as they seem to be pretty distanced from the straight photography I do most of the time. At any rate, they have gotten a pretty good response.

Roseburg Trip

Went down to Roseburg, OR for a reception (I had two photos there) at the Umpqua Valley Arts Association's Photography Northwest Show. The show gets better each year and if you are in the area I'd encourage you to stop by and check it out as well as the concurrent art show. On the return trip Charlotte and I swung over to the coast and stopped in a number of small towns in the Coast Range. Here are a few of the images from our journey. Kurt

New ICM Photos

Here are some new ICM photos from the last several weeks. I do these often in conjunction with the Lensbaby/Toy Camera images. I am not sure where they are going (I don't get a lot of positive response), but I am drawn to the playful aspect of doing them. They are more akin to painting than photography but that's OK. Kurt
