I am out in California for another week continuing work on my Mojave Desert Artifact series. Here are two of the best finds yet: a hood from a late model honda and trunk deck off an old Plymouth. On Monday I will be “excavating” the skeleton of another refrigerator that has been half-buried for who knows how many years.
Mojave Desert Artifact #1206
Mojave Desert Artifact #1208
This month’s featured print is another from my 2004 trip to Iceland, made on the Skaftafellsjökull glacier, in what is now Vatnajökull National Park.
About the Editions:
Since most of the work I regularly show is project-based, there are hundreds of images in my files that are never seen, or that I never made a priority to print. Now that I have been scanning and making enlarged negatives for platinum/palladium printing, I have been returning to some of the older work, and, in many cases, printing negatives for the first time.
As a way to bring some of these images out into the light, I will feature a new print each month as a limited-edition platinum/palladium or non-editioned inkjet print at a greatly reduced price to make my work more accessible to friends, new collectors, and fine-art photography enthusiasts.
—
The platinum/palladium edition is limited to 10 signed and numbered 7.5″x7.5″ prints on 11″x13″ 100% cotton rag Arches Platine, mounted and overmatted on 4-ply 16″x18″ Artcare Alpharag for a price of $200.
The inkjet edition is a signed 7.5″x.7.5″ print on 8.5″x11″ Hahnemuhle PhotoRag Pearl, mounted and overmatted on 2-ply 13″x15″ Artcare Alpharag for $25.
If interested, please email me to arrange payment and shipping.

This first “print of the month” image is one of several that I made in the lava fields around Landmannalauger during a trip to Iceland in 2004, where I camped and photographed around the countryside for seven weeks.

Getting the final preparations together for this year’s Philadelphia Open Studio Tour.
There are two Lightroom locations this year.
The Gallery Space is at 2024 Wallace. The Darkroom is 1909 Wilcox, between Green and Brandywine.
I will be showing new work (and some from the archive) with a few other photographers at the Lightroom Salon Gallery in the Art Museum/Fairmount area of Philadelphia for POST. I didn’t know if would be in Philadelphia for the tour when registration ended back in June so I do not have an individual artist page on the POST website, but here is a link to the gallery page.
Details: October 1st and 2nd from Noon to 6 at 2024 Wallace Street, 19130. Please call 215-609-5814 if you have any questions or need directions.

Through August 28, 2011
I am living in Paris for the next three months on something of a sabbatical while I’m working things out for the next step in the career. I am finishing up work on a few projects and starting a few more so stay tuned for more updates.
I am raising some money for a few months of travel and working on some projects so I am selling off the bulk of my photobook collection.
here is a link to a google docs spreadsheet with a list of photographers, titles, and conditions.
I just updated my website with new images from my Mojave Desert Artifacts series. I will be going back into the studio for the next few weeks, and will be uploading more as soon as I can.
