Nebraska Biennial and upcoming shows.

I had a piece accepted into the Nebraska Biennial. The show opens Friday at Gallery 1516 from 630-900. The show will run until till August 4th. For more information visit Gallery 1516’s webpage about the show. I will also have a solo show of Mantis Portraits running at Lauritzen Gardens running from June 20th till July 29th. Opening time and information coming soon in a later post. After that I have a solo show of Etymology work at the Fred Simon Gallery in the fall and then a solo landscape show at CHI in Kearny in 2021.

Good Times.

These are some more light tests for the harman paper. Not pictured are the exposures I did not care for. Most of the testing is seeing if my preflash strategy is good. Instead of doing the consistent paper flash (recommended) I made a diffusing lens cap. I preflash the paper by taking an exposure through the cap of equal length to the normal exposure. The lighter ones in the previous batch of photos are those. The ones here had no preflash. I surprised that they came out better than the preflashed ones which appear

I ordered an 8x10 camera to allow to shoot direct paper positives and hopefully some older processes once I get the hang of it. While waiting I’ve been waiting I shot some of the paper at 4x5. So here’s some experiments.
