Oldest Denton Professional Photographer Working
Photography and Photojournalism History and Future
I finally have couch number 50 on the silicon and now the production begins for book Number 1 – “Couch Art – A Photographic Street Study of Found Art, and 20th. Century Art Movements.”
Since then, it seems like couches have been breeding on Denton Streets all across town! It is almost like the couch minions have unleashed their most sentimental shreds of fabric into the streets and I can hardly drive down a street and not see a stunning example of my completed (book one anyway) project.
I managed two more couches to make fifty last week, but unfortunately one just did not make the cut. So we are at 49 and holding. IF YOU see a couch on the street curbs of Denton – one of the fastest growing metro areas in the USA – contact me right away, and I will break through that big 50 number
New prints coming from my Epson P600 are fantastic! I hadn’t upgraded my printers in a few years, but with the closing of one door (at City of Denton), I am pushing another door open — artwork and printing artwork for myself and others. Those “others” would be artists and photographers WHO CARE about reproducing their artwork as accurately and archive-ally as possible. Epson archival life is rated at 200-years for black&white and 400-years for color. I remember one critic of a person I was printing for (old school), who lamented the fact the prints I was making would last a hundred years. Harsh, but it can be true.
Here is a file from Mark Hutchison’s work. It will be available for purchase along with several other printed images — this weekend in Denton at the Armadillo Ale Works 10-5 Saturday only. It’s LESLIE’S BACK YARD ART SHOW! She’s been doing the show since 2014, so this makes the 5TH. anniversary of her show.
