Boat on Crater Lake

When I was in college I inherited my grandfather's old twin-lens camera. He used to use it in the 1950s when he was a photo journalist. Like other simple mechanical devices of its time, it was built to last, and it still works. I love it for the square format photos it takes.

This picture was taken on an unusually calm day in September. It's very rare to see the lake so still.

I offer this one as an 8x8 here, but I have also printed it much larger. It looks really good as a 20x20, and I have a 44x44 that was hanging in a show at Pro Photo Supply that I'm not sure what to do with. Any ideas?

Fine Art Print of Venetian Window (16x24)

One of the best things to do in Venice is to just walk around and look at the buildings. You can see things that you will never see anywhere else: a book store half-flooded from the canal but still open for business; doors and windows hundreds of years old but still sturdy; layers of paint coming off to show layers underneath. Even in the midst of extreme urban decay, Venice is overwhelmingly beautiful.

I have this big print, 16x24, very nicely done on Hahnemuhle Photorag Fine Art paper, just waiting for a home.

My First SLW Bicycle Blog Post

My sister just purchased this image from me. She does not spend money frivolously, as she will attest to on her blog The Green Baby Guide. Therefore, I feel somewhat honored by the fact that she chose my work to hang in her home.

I named this one simply "Bicycle." I took the photo in Northwest Portland near where I work in the photo lab at Pro Photo Supply, Inc. I shot this on slide film which I cross-processed for the special effect of the color.

She ordered a custom size: 8x12. I'm hoping to deliver it to her tomorrow.
