Working With Artists currently have a non-juried exhibition titled “Extraordinary”. This exhibition runs from January 21 until March 6. More details may be found here. Four of my images are on exhibition.
Back in July 2010, Scott Kelby’s Third Annual Worldwide Photowalk took place. I covered this event in an earlier post for Week 31 of Project 52. Our group met at Auraria, where we spent most of the summer evening making photographs on the campus. Passing by the athletic fields, a notepad was caught in the fence. I was intrigued by the patterns formed by the pages of the notepad.

During one of my Project 52 sessions, I visited Samson Park to make some infra-red images. The park is home to several sculptures spread around the grounds. Along one fence were these unusual sculptures constructed from intertwined vines and branches. Branches from the nearby trees had grown into the structure. When shooting infra-red, the leaves took on their characteristic appearance. After a conversion to monochrome black & white image, the leaves were stunning against the dark sky.

During the summer, Angela and I made a trip to the Platte River — Angela to watch birds and me for Project 52 images. As the sun moved lower in the afternoon sky, it lit a drain feeding the river. The pink concrete work was contrasted against the blue reflections of the sky in the flowing water.

While working weekends in November, I could not help but notice reflections from Craig Hospital on the wall of this building across the street. Sun light reflecting off the hospital windows form these intriguing reflections. Each window reflects a circular pattern with “eyebrows”. The time of year is critical to getting this image, so I returned to this location en route to work the next day. The contrast range of these images are too extreme for a single exposure. I made several images of the reflections and merged these into a single HDR image with Photomatix.

These four images were printed as 11×16 images on Moab Entrada cotton rag (my favorite), mounted and framed behind glass in an 18×24 frame for the WWA exhibition.
