Journeys by Anita Stewart @ Heritage Hall

After a bit of a fight with my GPS (don't trust Google Maps) I managed to find Heritage Hall Museum in Talladega for the opening reception of 'Journeys,' a selection of artwork by Anita Stewart. The exhibition consisted of a beautiful and inspiring selection of photography, altered books, and cigar box assemblages. I always enjoy Anita's photography but this was my first time seeing her work with altered books and I was very impressed. I particularly liked how she removed part of the cover to create a shadowbox-like appearance in some. In many of her altered books she cut away [...]

Hello SPE Friends!

It's hard to believe it's already been a week since SPENOLA. I had a great time and enjoyed camaraderie and passion for education and sharing that are always present at SPE. I've just begun processing my photos from the trip, but I can go ahead and share some of my highlights from the trip -- in no particular order. NOMA's Sculpture Garden The Jerry Uelsmann lecture at NOMA Exploring the French Quarter Eating over a dozen different tasty things. Yum! I particularly enjoyed the very first panel I attended: Integrating Video into Still Photography Programs Chris Jordan's touching preview of his [...]

Old Window & Floor Lamp

My husband Karl removed this old window shortly after I took this shot. I'll be a little sad once the last of our old windows have been replaced as they do make interesting subject matter. This window was falling apart as you can see by the gap between the two sections. The trash can is full of loose insulation Karl pulled out of the attic floor. We're keeping most of it to reuse elsewhere. Floor Lamp, 2015 Another shot of our guest room -- my usual studio space. We were working on our living room and downstairs bath [...]

Tintypes with Frank Hamrick

I'm in love with tintypes! I had such a great time at Frank Hamrick's tintype workshop today. It's been quite awhile since I was in a darkroom. I found it incredibly soothing and I enjoyed playing the part of chemist as we coated and developed plates. This was also my first time using a view camera and while it looked mighty intimidating it was actually quite simple and quite fun. Now to hunt down a view camera for myself and to start planning how to turn my basement into a darkroom.
