Busy week amidst the smoke up here in the foothills. I finished cutting mats and framing some of the new pieces for the High Hand Gallery's next re-hang on Monday. These are all from the Bodie Ghost Town Series of 2012; all of which I have never printed. It's interesting that I almost passed up some of these images, as I didn't (or couldn't) see their true value. That happens sometimes. Once they are enlarged, it's like WOW! ; ) Take this one for example. I had no clue about the colors in this shot. They are so subtle, that I had to see the whole thing enlarged. But then again, a lot of the time I really do see in black and white, so it takes me awhile. These colors lend even more so to the antiquity of the whole image. I love it! These images were printed on 13x19 Museo Silver Rag and that paper just makes them so much more beautiful.
Of course, there's always the making of the labels and the inventory list. Working at the gallery tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get it done manana! ; ) I will also be bringing home the majority of my European framed pieces, as they will be in the October Auburn Artwalk.
I'm really looking forward to fall and winter as I am anxious to get back into the darkroom. It's been way too long, but it's also been way too hot in my studio to close that door.
