05:26 pm - 5 photographs of holga

so here's a little project - 5 photographs of holga...
in 2006 i took the photos with one of those crappy holga 120sf. i still like them because the colors are so intense (without the use of photoshop - they're cross-processed). so i made a little set of 5 4'' x 4'' (10 x 10 cm) prints. they're are digitally printed on high quality glossy photo paper (kodak). if you're interested in purchasing a set- just send me an email: ultraviolett82@gmail.com
16 euros / 20 USD (incl. shipping to anywhere in the world). the prints are signed (on the back) and come in a little brown, stamped envelope.

06:19 pm - Artist's Proof

I have just finished putting together the first proof of my "Wall Book."  In it I have assembled the images that are displayed on my living room wall.  As some of you may know, I often print small images on irregular pieces of enlarging paper, not larger than about 3x5 inches, and display them directly on gallery walls,or wherever I have an opportunity.  My working title for this exhibit is "Water, Women & Palmetto;" however, I did not put a title on the book, but kept the layout as 'clean' as I could.

You can see a portion of the book on the 'blurb' web site:
