EVERY PHOTOGRAPHER has Others - alternate views - second choices - unprinted, unshown and set aside as you moved on.
For more than decades, I've been making photographs then selecting what to print, publish or exhibit for solo exhibits in museums and galleries and for group exhibits, in places as far-flung as Scotland and the former Soviet Union (glasnost).
Earlier this year, I considered t the concept of others and went back through a life's work of proofs and proof sheets, looking - through the lens of time and experience - and seeing new possibilities in the Others.
These portfolios include some or my Others, as well as experiments and a few revisited pieces. The galleries contain a number of images. So please, jump around, and revisit.
Technical Notes
Much of the work is in a classical, "straight" style, celebrating the elements of line, form, texture and color - isolating details in the symmetries and asymmetries of things we look at but don't always see.*
Most of these images originated on film. The film was scanned, then processed using "digital darkroom" tools, adjusting brightness and contrast, correcting and enhancing color and sharpening detail.
Some are slightly toned to approximate the warmth of Agfa Portriga silver gelatin photographic paper.
Most are uncropped, - pictures as seen through the lens.
Others, specifically the photocomposites, are digital constructs, reimagining, for example, a city skyline.
The galleries include recently created panels of two or three related images - as well as a few early .
Finally, as a virtual exhibit, each image is bordered with a graphical bevel, matte and frame.
