The opening on Friday night was great! Everyone seemed to have a good time, and I received alot of useful feedback. I’m always impressed with how varied everyone’s reactions are and how useful their input always seems to be. I think the fact the photos create such a visceral reaction makes them easy to relate to while engaging everyone’s imagination.

I had good conversations with a few people about the spatial impressions you typically receive from a photograph, as well as the various factors that add up to creating the more successful images. Colors and textures are just as influential as the spatial condition is to creating the final result. Its interesting how different the resultant effects are when the movements between the images are so similar.

Here are a few set up shots:

I spent more time recently refining the technical process of generating these images. A lot of images have often had various unintended objects or spaces pop in between two frames. By specifically measuring the heights, angles, and distances in a controlled space I can focus on the technical aspects of generating images. Here is the newest series, with explanatory poster, which refines this process.

In other news, I sold my first print:

I was always a bit apprehensive about using a frame, but I’m really pleased with how the frame, if anything, enhances the image. I’ve been putting the two inch white border on the images for awhile now, since they create a space for the image to sit within. I think the frame allows this space to separate itself from whatever the context is; and hey, its a pretty nice frame.
