Symptoms

I hate to go to bed at night.

I Dread the dawn's recurrent light,

I do not like my state of mind.

Jorge Deustua (Exhibition 4)

By far the best exhibition i've seen this semester, Interment and personal the photos give a glimpse into the lives of the subject, I felt I could walk away from each pic knowing something about the people contained within. The works were also a memory, a moment in time held forever still.....

I really enjoyed meeting the photographer.

Why does the caged bird sing?

Trapped by the mundane.
Stuck in the every day.

Setting the tone (Exhibition 3)

As you can tell by now I like cheesy titles. And on the subject of cheesy.... when an effect if used without a reason the result is often super cheesy..... this is not however the case with the exhibition at the drill hall gallery (MICHELE MAURIN: 'FLEUR DE HENNE') My favorite work from this exhibition was the urban scenes.... NYC and Hong Kong made it for me..... The exhibition has made me think a lot more about toning prints

Need I say more.

This exhibition was nothing short of brilliant, hard hitting photojournalism only let down by the glare from the sun pouring through the window.... these prints should have been better placed... oh well check out their web site..... DO IT.

Canvassing for votes (Exhibition 2)

Eeeek is that a canvas print.... well yes an no.
Yes it's printed on canvas but no it isn't a the standard cliched canvas print.

David Patterson's exhibition on Canada at the CSIRO was full of beautifully made and mounted prints.
The works that he had on canvas suited been printed on canvas and I think that is what makes the difference.

Interior motive (Exhibition 1)

An exhibition of pics of interiors.... seems harmless enough....
Interesting pictures, well composed, well exposed.... inviting, imgaes tha draw you into the room.....
But then printed on hideous super gloss.... fortunately the images were strong enough for me to look beyond the mirror sheen, a lesser picture would have been lost in my reflection.
