Museo Silver Rag for Black and White Photography

This is just a short post for today - I'm tired.  Made it over to Aaron Brothers and managed to find some nice wood frames for the two Bodie Ghost Town images for High Hand Gallery.  I spent the day cutting double mats, cutting glass (I always replace the plain glass with non-glare UV glass as long as the frame lets me).  It makes a big difference, especially in a gallery with the bright lights.  These two images were the ones printed on Museo Silver Rag - and what a difference this archival paper makes.  I also have several Bodie images 8 1/2 x 11 that need to be matted, so I can take those into the gallery also.  I'm getting low on matted prints at the gallery.  I still have numerous digital images from Bodie from last year that I haven't even printed yet, not to mention film images!  I get a little carried away sometimes.  I think other photographers can identify with that.

Tomorrow it's my day to work again at High Hand Gallery.  Wednesday I'll be picking up my gallery wrap for the KVIE Auction.  And that event is most likely the last extra-curricular photography event for me for the year.

High Hand Gallery, Loomis, CA

It's back to the drawing board for me.  I received the image from the client who commissioned me to do a photo transfer using her photo.  It's kind of a busy photo, but I am going to give it a try!  Also have been doing some printing for others who have purchased a particular print or two.

Thanks to a fellow artist friend, I will be hanging some of my images in the Sylvan Oaks Library for a spell.  That's pretty cool.  Get some exposure in another part of Sacramento County.  Transferred my matted prints yesterday back to the High Hand Gallery.  Construction going on there - hopefully it will get done this week.

I have to say there are so many 'gift' ideas at High Hand Gallery!  Lauren Lane, wood turner, has small women's mirror encased in wood, small coffee scoops, and wine corks topped off with a turned wood top - you can get most of these for $20!!  Terry Accomando has some beautiful pieces of pottery that she's pretty much giving away - $40!!  You need to get over to High Hand Gallery and get your Christmas shopping done early!  Of course, even I have some matted prints ready for framing:  5x7s for $10; 8x10s for $35; and 11x14 giclee and digital matted prints for $150; 11x14 gelatin silver prints matted for $175!!  Not to leave out framed prints hanging in the gallery!

I was going through some of my images from Bodie that I took this year.  This is a digital print that I did some extra burning in on the sky - but that's about it.
