WPPI 2010 Convention and Trade Show Featured Artist for Marco Fine Arts Inc.

Hey Kids!  I am happy to announce that I have been chosen to represent Marco Fine Arts Inc. at the 2010 WPPI Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas, NV. as the Marco Fine Arts featured artist!  This is a great honor for me and I am so excited to have my fine art work shown during this amazing event.

First, a little about the work.  I began the Infra-Red Tree Project over three years ago and spent a large amount of time traveling historic Highway 17 between South Carolina and Georgia searching for trees that were eventually captured using a modified Canon 20D digital SLR camera.  The camera has been modified to capture light only in the infra-red spectrum and the effect is breathtaking.  After 14 months of travel and weeks of processing in the digital dry darkroom, I had gathered enough photographs for my first series of trees for gallery exhibition.  At this point I began searching for a print studio to handle the giclee printing of my images.  I eventually came into contact with Justin Sillerman of Marco Fine Arts Inc. in Los Angeles, California who quickly became my representative at the print studio and who is now a close personal friend of mine.  Justin handles all my print work and I cannot say enough great things about this fella!   He is dedicated and will not rest until you are completely satisfied with your prints.  We spent some time working out the best printing process and finally found a solution that showcased the Tree Series in the best possible style.  Below you will see some of the tree photographs that have been selected to appear at the Marco Fine Arts booth during the 2010 WPPI Convention and Trade Show.  The series has also been exhibited in Vero Beach, Florida at The Southeast Gallery of Photographic Art and many hang in private collections in Florida, California, and Virginia.  The series is still available for purchased at Goodlooks and Bliss in Roanoke, VA. or by contacting me directly.  I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoy making them and I welcome comments on these beautiful examples of nature’s most majestic creation…THE TREE!
