Upcoming Exhibit !! Portland in Black & White!

Upcoming exhibit in Pownal Maine. Opening on Saturday April 28th at the Art Gallery in Mallett Hall in Pownal Ctr. I will be showing  the Black & White photographs from my book “Portland in B&W” that came out several years ago. Andrea will be showing oil paintings and etchings. The exhibit will be in conjunction with the “Keep me Warm” concert series, organized by Bradbury Mountain Arts and benefiting  folks needing assistance paying their heating bills. (20% of the art sales will go to the benefit as well.) It will be up during the month of May. The gallery reception will be held an hour before the start of the concert. The concert will start at 7.30 P.M and will feature the group Meteora as well as British singer Jamie Pearson.

Tickets for the concert will be $10. The reception is free.

New Work on Website & Addison Woolley @ 3Fish

Some new work was just added to some of the galleries on the website!. Check out the “New Work” Gallery to see some new 2 1/4  B&W landscape work done mostly at the beaches at Old Orchard Beach and Ocean Park. It is all Gelatin Silver work, it is good to get away from the digital printing and get into the dark room. It still puzzles me why and I can’t define the reason but there still is a definite beauty of a gelatine silver print.

On the other hand I feel that the act of taking a digital photograph and now having both  color and B&W properties in one “negative” brings color and B&W thinking closer together and even creates possibilities to blend the two, both in series of photographs as well in single images. At 3Fish I show 4 (Street) photographs  of Brooklyn, all digital captures, two of them are color, one B&W and one where a piece of color has been reintroduced into the image. It’s strange how the divide between Color and Black & White seems to disappear. These are now not just B&W or Color photographs anymore. They are just photographic images. Of course the ” Subway Portrait, 2011″,  had to be B&W and pays tribute to Walker Evans.

And finally I got to put in some of the Black and White street work that I shot in Europe last year. These shots below were shot in Budapest. In the Color Gallery some older images were replaced by newer work.

Some work now represented by VOX Photographs.

Since the beginning of the year some of my work is now represented by Vox Photographs. I print some of my Polaroid Transfer work, (see the “Alternative Processes”  gallery)  in large sizes which are then released in limited editions. Some of this work can be seen  on the Vox Photography website,  http://www.voxphotographs.com
