    Prepping for show.

    Little show coming up, 20-25 prints for a month or two at a local gallery that only shows photographs. There's no "theme" other than trying to sell some photos for Christmas so I am putting up whatever I choose.

    Non photographers don't know how HARD the presentation part is. Fun, but very difficult. I can't believe anyone actually does it. I've got enough frames and plex, just having to cut a few mats and , (mostly), switch out things that were in frames for newer work I'd like to see up on the wall.

    Photos have to pass wall test to get in the portfolio. They have to thrive under glass on a rail in my studio, first as contact prints then as enlargements. Been thinking about the selection but just started framing today. I have 13 pieces in frames ready to go so far. As I build them out I am putting them along the studio wall. I've got a little bit of work out, 50 pieces scattered around regional museums including some pretty good places. Would love to have more.

    Digital images over to the gallery, with titles. They do a digital shopping cart function. Still framing away. More plex tomorrow. Gotta cut another few mats. Might be ONE more trip through the darkroom to get a Moonset, Shiprock.

    I agree with Kirk, the Shiprock photo is one of the best I've seen from there. I have several with poor light that I just got rid of.

    Must have been a pretty long lens for that view with the moon that big. From the east looking west with maybe a 450 on 4x5?

    That's exactly right. Nikon 450. Stretches the Deardorff out! East looking West in November of about 2003. Kind of a cool morning, if I remember, and nothing hot to drink.

    Yes, 5X7 contacts. Some platinum, some silver, plus enlargements. Nearly done with the framing though I went from 9 til four today and spotted, matted and framed four big prints on one small print. Just a couple more and I am done. Great to see them in frames.
