818 Studios BIG Photography Show

May 2022, at 818 Studios in Tremont, Cleveland, Ohio. Large print work from yours truly among an impressive and eclectic group of photographers. Only a few of the images in this gallery actually made it into the show; the rest were all considered, and I still like them.

    Shot on Ilford XP5, and part of my "big return" to shooting exclusively with film for printwork.

  • The Meat Shop aka "Fresh Meat"

    The Meat Shop aka "Fresh Meat"

    This was shot as part of a series of roaming around photography, looking for anything slightly askew in the everyday. A day in Findlay, OH yielded this strangely energetic shot.

  • SiloSet

    SiloSet

    This is the kind of thing I really like working with, and of all of the "rejects" this one was the closest to going to the gallery. But....it is really hard to look at up close.

  • Untitled

    Untitled

    I printed this image in a different crop at 20x16, and it just doesn't work in that format. Still a work in progress as far as matting and framing, and just didn't feel right for this show

  • Old Man

    Old Man

    This tree is an example of an image that works much better in a smaller size, and so I decided to hold it back

  • Quarry Park Reflection #27

    Quarry Park Reflection #27

    Water reflections are hit or miss, and I always run the risk of coming off lazy when I do these kinds of images. It just doesn't work at this large size. Looks great as an 8x10!

  • Of Lily Pads and Remains

    Of Lily Pads and Remains

    Frame is approx. 24x19. Yet another image I really like, but didn't meet the size requirements, and I was also concerned that it might be too gloomy in the context of the show.
