The final voyage of Bart Parker

Today we committed the last mortal remains of my

dear friend and mentor to the waters of the

Mississippi River.

Bart Parker

I received news today that my teacher, mentor and friend

Bart Parker died at his home in Alabama today. Bart was

a lifelong inspiration to me and so many other

students and touched the lives of many more. No one is ever lost who is 

remembered by those who keep his memory alive, I shall not

forget all that Bart did for me and I owe who I am today as an

artist to Bart and his influences. Fair winds & calm seas Mr. Parker,

 dream on you crazy dreamer.

Printing for New Orleans

Got into the studio and started printing

variation so I can show my gallery director

in New Orleans. I have a date for my next exhibition

of work "Marching Bands of Mardi Gras"and the

opening will be Feb 1, 2014.

New work from the weekends studio shoot

The shoot out at the Tyson studio this

weekend was more productive than

I thought at the time, at least eight files worth 

printing 17" x 24". For these, I am printing

on the Canson Photographique Rag 310.

Books on Books

From todays shoot out at Tyson, warm enough to

still work the books. Exposing books on top of

books. Used the Fuji X100S in the multiple exposure

mode to make this one.

Still more images worth printing

Finding lots of files worth printing

from older shoots this summer, this 

is one example from a shoot in

May 2013 I passed over.
