New Chemigrams & the challenge of creating art with symbols of hate

Shock Art has never inspired me. Certainly, without artists constantly testing the boundaries of what is and isn’t acceptable, modern art would become stagnant. It is a necessary element to keep the cogs moving, inspiring generations of artists to tell… Continue Reading →

New Exhibitions, Publications & Opportunities

2016 is shaping up to be a busy year. After sending Stories Fading Fast on tour throughout Alaska and parts of the Lower 48 in 2014/2015, I had honestly thought that it would be a couple years until I had another… Continue Reading →

Kennecott: New Van Dyke Browns

After taking several months off from the darkroom to focus my energy in some new and exciting directions, I’ve recently started printing some of the other material created during my residency at the Wrangell Mountains Center. Even though Stories Fading… Continue Reading →

Visualizing Summer: Solargraphs

After a long time off from blogging, I’m returning to share a photograph that literally took the entire summer to make.  Taken from outside my porch window, this image captures everything outside from June 21st to September 21st – encapsulating… Continue Reading →

Cyanotypes on the Chatanika River

Recently, I have realized how much I need to make art (and the process of artmaking) part of my weekly – if not daily – routine.  The years I spent in graduate school spoiled me, providing structure and regimen to… Continue Reading →

The Beginning: Chemigrams and Vintage Paper

Last summer, through some luck and networking, I was gifted a huge private collection of cameras and darkroom supplies from a friend-of-a-friend in Anchorage. At the time, I balked a bit at taking much of the collection – selfishly wanting… Continue Reading →

Alaska Dispatch News: Stories Fading Fast Article & Video

Although about two weeks old at this point, I thought I’d share the amazing article & video project that the Alaska Dispatch News did on my recent opening in Anchorage.  Stories Fading Fast is still showing in Anchorage until the… Continue Reading →

Upcoming January Shows

Just a short note detailing some of the upcoming gallery shows for Stories Fading Fast this next month – perhaps most importantly, January represents the first time SFF will be featured in a show outside of Alaska! January 2nd, 2014:… Continue Reading →

Mordançage, Chromo & Chemigrams Workshop

Since completing my MFA at AAU, it’s no surprise that I’ve enjoyed having a much less hectic schedule.  What I haven’t enjoyed is the lack of creative direction it’s created – a bit of a void while I slowly start… Continue Reading →

Van Dykes of Juneau Mines

For two years, I’ve spent a portion of my Spring Break coming down to Juneau, taking advantage of the hospitality of Greg Culley and Heather Bryant, and photographing the ruins of Juneau’s mining past.  I blogged last year about the… Continue Reading →

A Summer in Polaroids

What I’m sharing today is a bit different than what I’ve shared thus far on this site: I’m sharing my summer project that documented my family’s activities on Instant Film.  Thanks to my BelAir Instant Back my wonderful wife purchased… Continue Reading →

Upcoming Exhibits

Although I’m continuing to pursue upcoming shows both statewide and regionally (here’s looking at you PNW), I thought I’d share with you all where Stories Fading Fast will be visiting next.  This spring saw two exhibits – a preview show… Continue Reading →

New Van Dyke Browns from Fern Mine

Earlier this Summer, I spent a long weekend traveling approximately 1000 miles looking for new shooting locations for my (now completed) Thesis Project.  The trip had me driving my FJ Cruiser down to Paxson (to capture the Paxson Lodge ruins),… Continue Reading →

Early Photography: Kindergarteners & Cyanotypes

Early this Spring, I spent some time at my son’s elementary school demonstrating Cyanotypes to an entire classroom full of eager kindergarteners.  Both Deanna and I had very active parents in our own schools, so we’ve been doing what we… Continue Reading →

A New Beginning

My hard-fought MFA is complete. Four years ago (nearly to the day) I applied to the Academy of Art University’s MFA Photography program – and today I am proud to say that one of the most difficult, life-altering chapters of… Continue Reading →
