    Well, someone posted them that way, so there must be an alleged reason.

    Well that's how he posted them online; perhaps simply to show that they are uncropped, full-size, real 8x10s.

    The gallery show is a different story. The contact prints are framed and matted. If you are in Portland this month, stop by NewSpace and check it out; it's free and there are over 60 contact prints, all 8x10 black and white portraits.

    It looks like a great exhibit. I wish that I could see it in person.

    I just got the latest 'View Camera' magazine.

    Jake Shivery is featured.

    Hmm... I should check out the scene in Portland again. Gotta put my wife on the plane to there in about an hour. Won't have much chance to visit there again until after I retire at the end of the yr., but I never did spend a lot of time in town... After time spent taking care of needs of aging in-laws, always too tempted to head into the Gorge, or up trail on Mt Hood or even Rainier. Still have some 8x10 shots I haven't printed yet from the last round. Too rheumatism-prone to actually live in that damp climate myself, and the overcast gray skies give me migraines. But it is a nice area to visit for a week or so at a time. And I always come back with
    a least a few really good shots.

    I like his work, but I must admit I find the processing idiosyncrasies spoil some of the images. The forth image looks as if it has bromide drag in the top portion of the frame.

    That sad clown scared me.
    Anyway, amazing works. Very atmospheric.

    I work at Newspace, saw the show for a month, enjoyed it while it was up, and came to the conclusion that until I have taken time, energy and money to mount 60 prints in an exhibition, I wouldn't nitpick it. It was a fun, engaging show with some very fine images that drew a lot of attention.
