Well, today The County got some much needed rain.
We took this opportunity to load Skeeter into the car and head to Picton for
CLIC - Eastern Ontario Photo Show.

Located at 289 Main Street Picton,
Books & Company
hosted this event in their fabulous second story space.

As per normal, awards are handed out at these events.

Best In Show went to Dawn Oosterhoff from Ottawa.

I was honoured to have one of my photos recognized...

... as were eight others.

Nine photographers CLIC with jurors
If you find yourself in Eastern Ontario, on or before the August 7th. head to
Books & Company in Picton and take in this feast for the eyes.

A big thank you to the organizers and volunteers.
Special thanks to Dave Hill. Dave dropped of my photographs while I headed for the mountains of Mexico.

Kudos to Sue Barclay for her "Fab" grouping of the photographs.
Oh, just so you know, Sue can keep a secret. We had dinner with Sue and, her photographer husband, Sam a week before the show. She knew of "I'll Fly Away" placing third.
She never let on.
Sue, next year I'll bring an extra bottle of a local vintage to loosen those lips.

As summer is poised to make it's annual return, we welcome the 18th year of

Art In The County.

This annual event takes place in Picton, Ontario.

Located in Prince Edward County, this is the area I call home.

The juried show is open to residents of "The County" which has a wealth of talented artists.

This year I have delved into the world of pinhole photography.
Digital be damned.
Give me a tin can with an f100 aperture, some photo paper and I'm good to go.

Morning Coffee
You can see the above effort at this years Art In The County.
For more pinholes and other works come by our Makers of Stuff gallery.

I Can Fly

This photo was captured on December 2006 in La Habana, Cuba.
The event was a people's march to the Plaza de la Revolución on the 50th anniversary of the landing of the Granma.
In essence the beginning of the Cuban revolution.

Art in the County 2009 has come to a close.

Congratulations go to Steven Draper for being awarded the Doug Boult Award. His image “Reflections on a Train Journey” took the award for outstanding photography.

This will not be the year’s last opportunity to see what artistic talent “The County” has to offer.
Beginning September 18th and continuing throughout the weekend, the Prince Edward County Studio and Gallery Tour holds it’s 2009 edition.
Mags Kandis and myself will be displaying our works at the Makers of Stuff Gallery.
We are number 6 on the map.

For a sneak peak of this event you can drop by the Belleville Public Library and visit the Parrott Gallery where Curator Susan Holland has assembled the works of Prince Edward County artists.

Soñar

On display is my work entitled Soñar. This image was captured in Oaxaca Mexico during "Dia De Los Muertos" October 2008.

One Year Ago

2009-06-21T20:04:00.004-04:00

I was scanning through my photos and wondered ...
What I was shooting one year ago?

Art In The County

2009-06-16T21:02:00.001-04:00

On Monday, two of my photographs were delivered to the Picton Town Hall (thanks Mags).
These works were to be considered for inclusion in a local event called Art in the County.
In 2007 one of my photogrphs was shown during this event.

"After The Storm"

Today my photos went to the jury for possible inclusion in the 2009 edition.

"Si Se Puede"

"Santa Cocoa"

I am pleased to report that “Si Se Puede” will be included in this years show.
Pieces that were not accepted were picked up today and artists were allowed the opportunity to have a critique by the jurors.

I had the great please to spend time with juror/ photographer Richard Martin.
Richard is a contributor to Photo Life magazine and offers photographic and visual design workshop/seminars in his hometown of Kingston, ON and around the world.

Don’t feel sorry for “Santa Cocoa”. Each entrant was allowed to offer two pieces for consideration. With 180 pieces offered for some 80 spaces, many excellent works were victims of the numbers. Richard had some kind words for my pieces. Especially appreciated was the comment that “Si Se Puede” was a "powerful image". It took on an added dimension for Richard when I told him it was captures in Time Square, NY during Barack Obama’s Inauguration.

If you find yourself in the Picton area between June 19 and July 5 drop into the Old Town Hall at King & Ross ST. and enjoy the creativity of local artists.
And as always you are welcome at the Makers of Stuff Gallery.
