Well that time has arrived again for the Ridgefield Guild of Arts Juried Art Show to happen.

It was juried by a gallery owner named Kenise Barnes she has a place in Larchmont , NY ( Kenise Barnes Fine Art Gallery ).

I wish her many more years of good business and a good Thank You. [ For picking two of my photo's. ]

She said some very interesting abut her gallery and business that should help the one that where there.

Below are the pictures that where picked and are hanging in the gallery. The Feather pic. was also seen in the members show, I thought I would see if a Gallery Owner would like it and to my pleasure and surprise she did.

Both are what they call straight photography.

The clouds in the water is not a layer but a true reflection of them in the sky.

Yes ; I use Photo Shop but with these only with the exposure, color and contrast was it used. Oh and yes I used it to pump up the resolution so I could print them. They are also full frame. Its sort of one of those Old School of thought thing.For some reason I always like the ideal and the ability of making pictures without cropping them.

Some time I would love it if the MOMA or the MET would do a show of Famous Pictures PHOTO's  showing them uncropped and then the way that they are known. ex. Henri Cartier-Bresson - Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare 1932 ( The man leaping over the water. ) also Arnold Newmans photo of Igor Stravinsky cropped and uncropped . The show could even have a addition to it of Famous Prints.

I'm not saying that cropping is bad or anything i just think the before and after is interesting.

Please see the show at the RIDGEFIELD GUILD OF ARTS beside my work there other pieces of work that are really good too!

Enjoy
