When you mount an exhibition, you have to test your prints. These small ones are looking good. My printer The Icon does a great job, and my printer Luis Diaz really helps a lot with his advice, and by taking a few photos of me, like this one with a Blue Jay from Vermont. The show will have larger prints than these, 10 x 15-inches in frames of 17 x 22-inches. The exhibit will have 30 photos in it. Should be nice.
View of the Century City towers from the Annenberg Space for Photography. I love the way the figures all line up, as if the image were staged. But it wasn’t. It just happened that way. Sometimes people think I’m compulsive about taking photographs, but then one like this pops out of the archives when I least expect it.
The Willow Flycatcher appeared in the 2004 exhibition ENDANGERED SPECIES: Flora & Fauna in Peril at the Wildling Art Museum and at the U.S. Department of the Interior Museum. It is 15 x 22-inches, number 1 of 5. Now it will be presented at the Bryan Memorial Gallery show in Jeffersonville, Vermont. Come one and all, from May 2-December 28, 2014. The bottom photograph is of me in front of the image at the ENDANGERED SPECIES show at the Wildling Art Museum in 2008. The top picture is of me at the Bryan Gallery 7/14/12, a great place for art.
Yesterday, I met with my printer Luis Diaz to get some test prints ordered for my upcoming exhibition at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, New York. Jamestown is the legendary Peterson’s hometown, and I’m honored to be chosen to show my bird photographs there. It’s going to be a really great event. Thanks to Luis Diaz for taking the photo of me, with my marvelous Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in the background on the computer screen. Yes, they’ll be in the show.
