Gallery XII provides art work to the various Wichita Clinic locations. If you go there, look for my work on display.

The Nature Of Light

An exploration of the kinds of light that I as a photographer have to work with. Twenty-four works explore use of chiaroscuro, warm light, cool light, various colors of light, seasonal light, and light at various times of day. While the images span many years of work, the majority of these works I have created in the past two years and many have not been previously printed or published.

I had already been shooting seriously for a number of years and by chance met Nancy Rotenberg while photographing in Alaska. The next summer I joined her Oregon coast workshop, intending to learn more about macro photography. That I did, but what came out of the incredible week would change my style in ways that I could not possibly have foreseen. Part of that was due to Nancy's awesome teaching, but other strong influences were through some of the other students in the workshop. I'd like here to pay tribute to Nancy and those of my colleagues who have gone on to do amazing photographic work. I'll let their websites speak for them.

There may be others from the workshop who have put up sites of which I am unaware, and I'll add any that I hear of to this list.

Those who know my work should be aware of how much attention I pay to the elements of visual design. When the members of Gallery XII decided to offer four Saturday afternoon sessions devoted to various aspects of art-making I jumped at the chance to offer a slide-lecture show entitled "A Photographer's Guide To Visual Design." This program condenses what I have learned about visual design over the years.

Saturday, October 10, 1:30 p.m. at Gallery XII, 412 E. Douglas. Free and open to the public.

Other sessions in the series:
October 17, "Pastels" presented by Rosemary Dugan
October 24, "Painting", Diane Curtis
October 31, "Colored Pencil", Ann Krone

All begin at 1:30 p.m. Call the gallery for more information
