First light

First light (as they say in astronomy) for my new/old 5×7″ Rittreck View camera which I converted to 18x24cm.

There is nothing like moving up a format size (or two) to get a new perspective over bulk and weight.

First Exhibition Print From My Second Book Project

A picture from my upcoming book “Spirits Of The River” was selected by Ann Jastrab, the Gallery Director at RayKo Photo Center in San Francisco for the gallery’s 4th Biennial Juried Pinhole Show opening next week!

My print just arrived at the gallery…

Here’s a picture of the printing of the picture…

Checking the framing…

And preparing the print for shipping, with the pinhole camera used to make this picture in the background…

American Photo’s online version of John Mahoney’s article In the Shadow of the Black Sun.

Newspaper Politis’s cultural section Parathyro.

F-Stop Magazine’s Group Exhibition of their latest Landscape Issue.

American Photo magazine, baby!

A picture from my upcoming book of pinhole landscapes is featured in the current issue (Nov-Dec) of American Photo magazine!!!

It illustrates an article about the Black Sun phenomenon—also known as true solarisation…

The article also features (among others) Chris McCaw’s beautiful ultra large format landscapes from his project Sunburn…

So very happy and excited about the serendipity of how this came about…

Flying high

Stating the obvious…

I love pictures from airplane windows, especially from early morning or late afternoon flights with the sun in the frame and (if possible) fluffy traveling clouds lit by almost horizontal sunrays…

Rock sculptures

During a trip with my father to Mt. Athos, a few years back, I shot an essay which I have on my main website here…

Among the many pictures that didn’t make the cut for the essay were these ones, which I really liked but didn’t fit the edit…

Rally Cyprus

In a change of pace, digging back into the archive, here is set of pictures from the Cyprus Rally that I shot a few years back on the Troodos mountains…
