Street View

It finally happened.  After a few months of patching, sanding, painting, hanging molding, installing lights, and hanging signs, the new gallery is open.  It’s time to put away the construction tools and get out the photography tools and I’m ready for the change!  That said, I have a great sense of accomplishment in turning a nice small restaurant into a photography gallery with the help of a couple of friends.

Now that the new space is finished, I can get busy printing and framing new work to fill the space.

After view - inside looking back

In addition to printing and framing work for the walls, I’ll be producing two folios based on the Faces project and I’ll be working on photographs for the wooden boat building project.  I’ll cover those in more detail in upcoming posts. 

Another overdue project is planning for the gallery’s first visiting artist!  That is happening in August and again you’ll read more about that in upcoming posts.

Faces of Acadia Now Available

Have you ever been amazed by the likeness of a face on the side of a cliff or in the bark of a tree?  The idea for this book came from just such an experience.  My wife and I were hiking the the Ship Harbor trail in Acadia National Park with our cameras and found a broken tree trunk which bore a striking resemblance to the head of a moose. At that point I decided I needed to start looking for more. 

 

Faces of Acadia is available now online by clicking the link above and will also be available in The Mason Gallery in Bar Harbor, Maine. In addition to the book preview provided above and on the Blurb.com site, you can see more of the photos in this series at my online gallery.
