NEW YEAR NEW DAY in DENTON TEXAS

Finding your “space” in Denton is hardly worthwhile if you are looking for a retail photography space with any kind of traction these days. That is part of what lead me out of retail photography in Denton, Texas. That, and the fact that pricing retail photography was like catching a falling knife – painful, very painful … to the point of humiliation.

Now, if you think creatively, live creatively and keep an open mind for getting by and not getting big – there are still a few places to make a softer landing with less of a splash. And so it is for me, my office needs and a new location to display the Ron Raffaelli Collection. Ron Raffaelli’s work will be available in one, and only one place in the Central United States time zone, and that is right here in Denton, Texas, on February 29, 2020.

Details are still being ironed out, but I will also be upping the ante when it comes to quality printing, scanning and other digital services for the discerning Denton photographic community. We are talking archival digital printing for photography and art reproduction, as well as film scans on state of the art hardware. And I’m just getting started!

COUCH COUNT CONTINUES

Couches are coming along slowly these winter days, but the count did go up by a couple. And the creep to fifty continues at a heck of a slow pace! I think I have figured out why too: The folks at the City of Denton trash pickup are getting on IT! I passed by a couch this morning, and a couple of hours later – GONE. There is also the sun to contend with – lack thereof, and sun angle in winter. I so look forward to the winter solstice – December 21st. From there, the days get longer although it takes awhile for them to get warmer.

THE RAFFAELLI ARCHIVES

The Raffaelli Archives are starting to gather some momentum as well. I was able to get a new lab on line to help with our Consumer Prints. They are what I call GEN1 prints, and a new printer should arrive soon — in order to create the GEN1 Gallery Print Series. Working on Ron Raffaelli’s legendary images is such a privilege, and every folder of scans I open, is like opening a vault every time. I have a hard time keeping my enthusiasm in check on this project, but there is a lot of business that goes with such an undertaking.

EPSON ARCHIVAL PRINTING

The high-end versions will be rendered using a brand new Epson Ink Jet printer. I have a lot of experience with fine printing, and am excited to get back in to the high end print spectrum with a state of the art printer and images that aren’t even mine!
