New Column Posted on Red Dog Journal 5/6/2009

I just contributed a new column to Red Dog Journal, a website and e-mail newsletter focused mainly on fine-art photography. In the 5/6/2009 edition, I share an “Inkjet FAQ,” link to a recent podcast to which I contributed some info, and mention some upcoming workshops. You can find the article here, and to browse the archives, which contain many previous columns by me and others, visit this page.

Special Event this Sunday 4/5 at Alfa Art Gallery

Though normally closed on Sundays, I recently asked the folks at Alfa Art Gallery, the gallery where I currently have a show on exhibit, to open their doors this Sunday from noon to 4pm. At 3:00pm I will give a short presentation about the work on display, which is a collection of New York City landmarks. The printing processes I chose for this show include canvas, fiber semi-gloss, and watercolor papers. All of the canvas pieces were printed on an HP Designjet Z3100, and all the prints on paper were made with an Epson Stylus Pro 3800

Here is a quick overview of the time and location:

WHAT: Photo Exhibition: GRANDmarks – NYC
WHEN: Sunday, April 5 – noon-4pm (lecture/slide presentation at 3:00pm)
WHERE: Alfa Art Gallery, 108 Church Street – New Brunswick, NJ 08901
(located just a few blocks from the New Brunswick train station)
