Searching After Wildness - journals of a photographic artist

I’m excited about a few events in the coming weeks.

First, I have an exhibit opening this week in Louisville, Kentucky. The photographs are from a trip to Taiwan last winter. The images reflect an appreciation for my homeland that I’m only recently learning. If you’re in the area, I’d love for you to join me.

Fine Art Digital Printing Class

Isn’t there some saying that to truly learn something, you have to teach it? Well, I’ve got a lot to learn, and I’m hoping that you’ll join me. Held in my studio, the class sizes will be small to facilitate good interaction and discussions. First up: digital printing. One of the greater satisfactions in my work is holding a well made print.

In this half day class, I’ll cover practical methods of getting high quality prints from your digital photographs. Acquire a basic understanding of digital printing and improve your results, whether you use your own printer or an outside lab.

Topics include:

• An overview of current printing technologies
• Profiling your computer’s display
• Fine tuning colors, tones, sharpness and noise
• Creating and using printer profiles
• Using soft proofing to manage the difference between color spaces

Sunday, November 11th, 1:00pm – 5:00pm

Creative Images

Finally, the opening reception for Creative Images is coming up. Creative Images is a juried photography exhibition, featuring 84 images from artists in the US, France, Sweden, Munich, Australia, and Hong Kong. The event is hosted by the Photo Venture Camera Club, current president: your’s truly.

These images will be hung at the ArtsGarden in Downtown Indianapolis for the month of November. Final judging by Joyce Wilson will be completed on November 2nd. The exhibit will officially open the evening of November 2nd and awards and prizes will be given at this time. The Arts Garden is connected by indoor skywalk to prominent hotels, Circle Centre Mall (100 stores), the Indianapolis Convention Center and the RCA Dome.
