Up Close on Leaves

Thought you'd like to see details of the work. These go in the folder for the work and are used should an exhibition entry request a detail shot. I try to show processes, but also a well edited and well composed image. It matters that the detail shot is pleasingly composed. Top, yes; bottom, not so much.
 

Details

I've photographed a piece now in my new studio. I'm trying to get detail shots, and this one won't make it for submission. Oh, the color is fine, and the composition all right. And I think it shows the stitching and print quality. But it is square. And I'd rather show as much as I can in a horizontal. Redo!
 

Time for Centering

Part of today's task was to photograph and record the last quilt. It's pinned to my design wall and lit with even lights. With my camera on a tripod, I've measured the middle, marked it with a pin (in the circle) and then leveled the camera right on it. Move back, get it all in, then shoot.

Photography Opening at Gallery R

Doug Manchee's work took me back many years to my work in photography. His "portraits" of the apparatus needed to print photos back in the day, were beautifully taken and gave each object, from a dryer fan to a sponge, dignity and beauty. Go see the show "Alchemic Elegy" if you are in Rochester.
