My dear friend Kitty <span style="font-size: small;">Josp</span><span style="font-size: small;">é</span> has written a poem about the work shown here, titled<br />
"X-Tower #1" - a work exhibited on its own in a group show in April 2011.<br />
<br />
"X-Tower #1" is part of a 34-print set called "Light and Form, Time and Space" which will be exhibited at Image City Photography Gallery in Rochester, New York, where I will be the featured artist. The opening reception will be June 17, 2011, 5 - 8:30 pm and will be open to the public free of charge.<br />
<br />
Kitty has referred to me as "a fabulous magician who helps us see." This is a wonderful comment from a poet whose work I admire. I am grateful to her for allowing me to to show you this poem publicly for the first time, as well as to quote her comment. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Possibility </b></span><br />
<br />
In a great city, a sky-scraper lyre,<br />
Played by light arrowed into bull’s eyes<br />
<br />
Nothing shakes the lines, caught as if tacked<br />
by still-burst spots, starred eyes<br />
<br />
Black and white singing or silent,<br />
Depending on the ears of your eyes<br />
<br />
No lack of good or bad luck for six keys<br />
strumming vertical shine. Which are “I’s”?<br />
<br />
Buildings saying, I, I, waiting to be seen.<br />
Clean force, cleared forest, aye, aye<br />
<br />
A chance to view in black and white<br />
What might not strike the inner eye<br />
<br />
Piano keys and rockets singing empty blues<br />
two claps of sun revise </i><br />

This poem is a response to a black and white photo by D. G. Adams entitled "X-Tower #1." <br />
It will be shown along with other work at the Image City Photography Gallery in an exhibit opening June 17.<br />

</div>This image has been exhibited only once. It's unlike most of my work yet such an unusual shadow was worth capturing.<br />
<br />
"Bast" was shown as part of a group exhibit. When it was delivered to the gallery the only person who was there at the time loved it ("the best photo here!"), and that was the only opinion about it I've ever heard.<br />

This means we look for ways to create the illusion of a light range we don't have. How do we show beautiful natural-looking light? Jan Vermeer and Ansel Adams figured this out, as have others. We can do our best, too.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553872438270657482.post-38238413586679961132010-02-22T18:10:00.023-05:002010-03-27T18:07:10.996-04:00Judging and jurying art<div class="mobile-photo"></div>Decades ago I entered five contests or exhibits which gave awards and there were two winners. Although the piece which received the biggest award was less creative than much of my work I was happy to get the prize itself. The other winning piece was good but not great. One of the losers should have lost but the other two were really good so after that - no more competitive exhibits for me! Lately I've loosened up a bit and submitted work to a few juried exhibits - even served twice as a judge.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The juror who gave it a 3 saw it as worse than average. I see beauty in it myself but he might be right. The juror who gave it a 10 is my friend for life.<br />
<br />
Maybe someday it will be understandable why intelligent, capable jurors reach such different opinions. Maybe not. I hope that my evaluations were fair when I served as a judge. Maybe not.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553872438270657482.post-79044857887967511102010-02-08T14:37:00.013-05:002010-04-27T15:38:08.236-04:00Urban #5<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqi-WIn6p10gWyp1bedrZUM-Il7bm6ddH2nQkIjtx2ITtGEUi9Ra5FUQXRnOjY1kUf-tb0sqhq94Cmye4UMeokplJqHgIWF6Yfqa05UhI7QFVK2csd8XpHp5DC50VFkcDaJ6ZovLBdZkhA/s1600-h/Urban+%235.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqi-WIn6p10gWyp1bedrZUM-Il7bm6ddH2nQkIjtx2ITtGEUi9Ra5FUQXRnOjY1kUf-tb0sqhq94Cmye4UMeokplJqHgIWF6Yfqa05UhI7QFVK2csd8XpHp5DC50VFkcDaJ6ZovLBdZkhA/s400/Urban+%235.jpg" width="295" /></a> </div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This building at Clinton Avenue and Main Street in downtown Rochester NY looks like an abstraction of Devil's Tower in Wyoming.
