Here We Go Again….

Yep… It’s time to get the workshop done so we can finally put away the construction tools and get this workshop finished. You guessed it, I’m running another Kickstarter with hopes lightning might strike twice and help provide the funds. Since completing the original campaign, I’ve gone a lot farther than I thought I could, but at the same time I’ve been saving scarce dollars by completing much of the work myself. I’m no where near old, but I am admitting to myself that I’m not a young man anymore and it has taken a physical toll on me as well. Most reading this know of my back issues and it has been a bit stressful tossing around 70 lb sheets of drywall. What I’m hoping is that by raising additional funds, I can hire out the remaining work to someone who is younger and knows better how to do all of this stuff. Still, I’m proud of what’s been accomplished this summer since the Photostock Festival. Those of you there this year saw roughed in walls, loose wires and insulation. Now the darkroom, utility and bathroom have finished, painted walls and we are well on the way to having […]

New Print Offer – Iceland 2014

by Bill· May 31, 2014· in Uncategorized· 0 comments
I’m just back from another trip up to Iceland where I led a fantastic group of photographers. It was a really hard working and dedicated crew and they pushed me to a higher level as well. We worked the very last bit of light of every day and it has resulted in work that I feel among my best from this beautiful landscape. This includes “Wave Patterns – Höfn, Iceland”, the print I am offering here for a limited time. It was the last full night of our adventure and proved to be perhaps the most magical. As with all offers I make of these smaller prints, this is an open edition printing and comes unmatted and unframed as shown. With an image size of 4.5 inches square on an 8×10 inch sheet of paper. this hand made, silver gelatin print has a beautiful sepia/selenium split-tone. Signed provenance and suggestions for mounting and framing will be included with your print. As always, your satisfaction is assured. Thanks for having a look! Order Here!

The Bridge

by Bill· January 17, 2014· in Uncategorized· 0 comments
It’s a new year and even thought it’s simply another day, I always go through a bit of angst until I’ve gotten out there and made my first good photograph. Some years, it’s March or April before putting something serious on film, but this year I was determined to get over that hump early. Fortunately the New Year’s snow storm that just passed through these parts gave the inspiration. Nothing like getting out there on a snowy, atmospheric night to burn through some film.  I’ve been doing a lot of exploring again as of late and have to admit to being somewhat shocked at the state of my city. Sure, I see it on TV all the time these days as picking our bones seems to be all the rage. But to go through areas explored years ago and find them in such a rapid state of decline is frightening. The Detroit Spirit is alive and well, but our poor city has certainly seen better days. Here’s to hoping it will again.
