SELF PORTRAITS & OTHER DISTRACTIONS

On view at Caffe Vita Queen Anne 813 5th Ave. N. Seattle

December 1, 2006 - January 31, 2007 Reception Saturday January 6, 8-10pm

This work addresses vignettes of the subconscious….images from the not-quite-waking world. These are not “happy” pictures of babies, flowers and sunsets, but rather reflect on emotional and visual introspection. They are meant to be somewhat disturbing and thought provoking.
The images themselves are distilled from various cameras, old and new, film and digital. The large images are printed on an Epson 9600 with archival pigment inks on MOAB Entrada paper and are of a limited edition. The smaller images are hand coated Van Dyke Brown emulsions and contact printed on water color paper and are also limited editions.
John is essentially a self taught photographer/artist who has photographed his friends, family, acquaintances and urban surrounds for 30+ years…………..and occasionally takes classes at the Photographic Center NW when the mood strikes him.
