After putting it off for entirely too long, I have finally gotten around to updating prints available through ImageKind. Currently all prints featured in the Fine Art Print Gallery are available through RedBubble, ImageKind and of course, as traditional silver gelatin prints as well.

RedBubble is an online service providing prints on demand for artists all over the world. Prints are made on a Durst Theta printer, a hybrid digital / chemical process, producing a fine high-quality alternative to silver gelatin prints at a very reasonable price.

Similar to RedBubble, ImageKind provides digital giclee prints on demand. Prints are made using the Epson 4800, 7800 and 9800 printers with the K3 pigment ink system for a high quality, lightfast and archival giclee print on various types of media.

As always, all silver gelatin prints for sale through this website I have printed myself, by hand, using traditional darkroom processes. Prints are made on double weight fiber base paper. All prints are signed and dated. You can be confident when making a purchase that you will receive a 100% archival photographic print of the highest caliber.

I’ve known Jasper for some years now. A fellow film shooter, his work has come a long way since we first met and has settled into a style all his own. He’s just launched his new website @ jaspersanidad.com. Well worth a visit.

75th annual Golden Gloves, San Francisco, Ca. 2006

Ever found an undeveloped roll of film that you’d completely forgotten about from 2 years ago? I did. What’s even more random is that it’s color, which I very rarely shoot.

Having put off a good spring cleaning for nearly 3 years I have found myself short on space and rather heavy on clutter. Knee deep in a good old fashioned house clearing I’ve decided to unload a some inventory, namely a large stack of framed prints that always seem to be in the way.

While it is fairly clear that Ebay just isn’t the greatest place for artists to sell their work, I have nonetheless started listing framed prints for auction. It’s not really much of a gamble, it only costs a buck and a half to list. I suppose it’s more of an experiment, with the hopes of freeing up a little much needed space.

I’ll most likely be posting more pieces throughout the week. Have a look at my Ebay page for the photographs up for auction.

And of course, feel free to bid…

Magnum photographer, Burt Glinn, passed away on April 9th. He will be missed.

From the Magnum Blog:

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Burt Glinn served in the United States Army between 1943 and 1946, before studying literature at Harvard University, where he edited and photographed for the Harvard Crimson college newspaper. From 1949 to 1950, Glinn worked for Life magazine before becoming a freelancer.

Glinn became an associate member of Magnum in 1951, along with Eve Arnold and Dennis Stock – the first Americans to join the young photo agency – and a full member in 1954. He made his mark with spectacular color series on the South Seas, Japan, Russia, Mexico and California. In 1959 he received the Mathew Brady Award for Magazine Photographer of the Year from the University of Missouri.

We rode home that night from the Poleng Lounge in a sweet spring fog, our bellies warm filled with Japanese Whisky and un-pronounceable foods yelling along to Thin Lizzy on the radio with the windows down and the bums yelling back as we sped down Market Street. I forgot about the days work and all the things I should have been doing instead of what I was doing and for just a little while we were the only people in the world.

We were Kings and Queens of men, and we were invincible, we had purpose, there was nothing we could not survive, our eyes were fixed on the night and the street lamps that rolled past would guide us to wherever we thought we were supposed to be going. Our destination didn’t matter, I have heard the journey is the worthier part, the only thing to do was run, and run we did, still waiting to arrive at wherever it is we ought to be going.

The radio clicked over and out poured the often copied but never duplicated two-handed pentatonic scale of Eddie Van Halen and I thought at that moment I was happier than I had been in a long time and just a little angry that it wouldn’t last.

Dith Pran, photojournalist for The New York Times and subject of the 1984 film “The Killing Fields” died in New Brunswick, N.J. on Sunday at the age of 65.

From The New York Times:

“Mr. Dith saw his country descend into a living hell as he scraped and scrambled to survive the barbarous revolutionary regime of the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979, when as many as two million Cambodians — a third of the population — were killed, experts estimate. Mr. Dith survived through nimbleness, guile and sheer desperation.”
