Where have I been you ask?

Hi-
I have not forgotten about my little blog, just have not had time lately to take many photos or to post anything.  My parents bought a house in Florida and we have been preparing for their move.  We Arrived at the house yesterday and found all the work Mom and dad wanted done before the move in to be done very well.  The house looks great.  We will be running errands and prepping a few things this weekend in anticipation of the movers arriving on Monday.  I will be taking some photos down here and hope to post a few times before heading back North in several weeks.  The drive down went smoothly.  I had been a little nervous about driving my folks and the dog that far, but it all went very well.  Today is the first day I did not have to wake up and jump in the car for a day of driving.  I will send out some posts after I find things to photograph down here.  There is pretty nice looking lighthouse by the beach fifteen minutes from here. Should make for some nice photos and paintings even.  Daytona is famous for its racetrack and motorcycle week so I hope to add a few new images to my 'machines' collection.  I did not bring any of the film cameras when I decided what to pack.  It was a tough call, but space was at a premium.  So I will shoot all digital while I am here and resume my film project in January in New York.

Suffern Library

My lovely wife Wendy helped me hang the show.  Thanks Honey!  I could not have done it without you. 

This is the final piece for the show.  It arrived today after we finished hanging up the show.  Actually it looks pretty great over my fireplace.  I will hang it at the gallery on Monday.

I hung the Suffern Library show today with Wendy's help.  There are 37 pieces hanging this large room that has 90' of linear wall space.  It looks great!  I have several pieces as big as 24x48" hanging and some new metal prints in 24x36" that you need to see to believe.  I am very happy with how it all turned out.  My images will be on display until December 29th.  Stop in and let me know what you think.

Back to Film...

So where was I with my film project... Oh yeah I remember.  I am spending the next year shooting on medium format (120 size film) black and white film.  It took a few rolls for me to get my sea legs back under me and get good exposures.  Now I am deciding on which cameras to use.  All of these were from a recent outing in my town with my FUJI GW690 (6x9 rangefinder camera)  I am thrilled with the tonality and feel the images are getting on film.  I am getting closer to having something to print out.  I may even experiment and print a few out at home and then send them to the lab.
There is a completely different rhythm to shooting on film.  A slower and more thoughtful pace.  I think this comes from only getting 8 frames per roll.  I am just about ready to start photographing New York City on film.  It is my plan to go into the city once a week to look for interesting places and people to photograph.
I also have a few rolls I shot on 6x4.5 film.  They will have to wait until I finish getting prints printed and framed that I am hanging for a show on Saturday.

Hoboken Station - Black and White

I took these shots of a people waiting at the Hoboken Station waiting room about a month ago.  Hoboken (and the train station) were under water from Hurricane Sandy.  I hope this historic building with its Tiffany glass ceiling survived the storm.  I will head down there again in a few weeks to see what things look like.
