My Mind at 89 On all these walls, an amazing display of
photographs, that John insists on calling snapshots, which take
the viewer from country to city to portraits from the street — all of
them touching what is real — there, to see with outer vision.
Electric Western
Jim has been showing at the gallery for 11 years! The Partners
really appreciate his support of the Gallery as well as his photographs
over the years. This work is a departure from many of the photographs he
shown in the past and it shows the breath of his skills in making
excellent photographs. The iconic western portrait technique is used for the bulk of the
photographs in a very effective manner. It’s amazing to see this one photograph among the other classic
portraits, offering a strong counterpoint to the grizzled and bearded
man of the old west.
Great Blue Heron Paul has provided a wonderful series of photographs
of birds, many of which are in flight. The majesty of these creatures is
wonderful to behold, and Paul has done an excellent job capturing them
in active scenes showing their grace and beauty. Paul uses new technology to make the capturing of
birds in flight within the frame of the camera, an apparently great
improvement over the more traditional methods of photographing birds. Great Blue
Heron is a beautiful example of these photographs. The skilled use of the tracker and the equally
skilled image preparation and printing has led to a wonderful collection
of startling photographs of these beautiful birds.
1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe
Two Blue Herons and
Chicks Nancy has provided us a wonderful collection of
Florida birds. Each is rich
with color on canvas gallery wraps. Two Blue Herons and Chicks is the
one that resonated with me as it’s so impactful, both with the source of
light and the “dance” where the parents of these young chicks seem to be
frozen. Light is one of the elements that direct our attention in a
photograph. Focus is another.
In this photography both elements lead us directly to the parents
and the chicks. There appears to be two light sources.
One is directly on the four birds and the other lights the
background. Together with
the dark framing element and the difference in focus, the birds seem to
be lifted off the background. Nancy has been making photographs for only
a short time, yet all her photos are exceptional. This one, in my
opinion, stands out from the others. | ||||||||||||
