For all practical purposes, the workshop begun in May of 2013 and funded in large part by not one, but two successful Kickstarter campaigns, is completed inside and out! It has been a long road with many twists, turns, ups and downs, but we’re there and ready to fly. Major work was completed just in time for the first Photostock2015 workshop on June 11, 2015 with Kerik Kouklis in the platinum/palladium process. Then, three days later, Clay Harmon taught a class in Polymer Photogravure followed three days after that with a class on Tri-Color Gum with Christina Z. Anderson. The classes were well attended and a great time was had by all. I can’t tell you how happy I am to be at this stage and can’t thank everyone enough who helped with their belief and support. Please stay tuned for more!

Yep… It’s time to get the workshop done so we can finally put away the construction tools and get this workshop finished. You guessed it, I’m running another Kickstarter with hopes lightning might strike twice and help provide the funds. Since completing the original campaign, I’ve gone a lot farther than I thought I could, but at the same time I’ve been saving scarce dollars by completing much of the work myself. I’m no where near old, but I am admitting to myself that I’m not a young man anymore and it has taken a physical toll on me as well. Most reading this know of my back issues and it has been a bit stressful tossing around 70 lb sheets of drywall. What I’m hoping is that by raising additional funds, I can hire out the remaining work to someone who is younger and knows better how to do all of this stuff. Still, I’m proud of what’s been accomplished this summer since the Photostock Festival. Those of you there this year saw roughed in walls, loose wires and insulation. Now the darkroom, utility and bathroom have finished, painted walls and we are well on the way to having […]

I’m just back from another trip up to Iceland where I led a fantastic group of photographers. It was a really hard working and dedicated crew and they pushed me to a higher level as well. We worked the very last bit of light of every day and it has resulted in work that I feel among my best from this beautiful landscape. This includes “Wave Patterns – Höfn, Iceland”, the print I am offering here for a limited time. It was the last full night of our adventure and proved to be perhaps the most magical. As with all offers I make of these smaller prints, this is an open edition printing and comes unmatted and unframed as shown. With an image size of 4.5 inches square on an 8×10 inch sheet of paper. this hand made, silver gelatin print has a beautiful sepia/selenium split-tone. Signed provenance and suggestions for mounting and framing will be included with your print. As always, your satisfaction is assured. Thanks for having a look! Order Here!

I’m thrilled to have an interview that has been published in one of my favored blogs, Rfotofolio. “Seeing the Beauty” is now available for a visit and I would like to invite you to have a look. They’ve done a really nice job and it gave me a chance to focus on some of my Detroit work from over the years. I’m very proud of the outcome and hope you’ll enjoy. Seeing the Beauty @ Rfotofolio
