Your very own box of instant joy

Your very own box of instant joy

I’m thrilled to write that one of my Polaroid images has been published in a box of mini notecards by Chronicle Books*. This is a continuation of 2008‘s limited edition book, “For The Love of Light“, which it featured in. Once again the very talented and very organised  Jen Altman was responsible for getting this together. The whole edition of Light has now sold out, so this box of notecards is a second chance to own some of the images. And if you already own the book…why not buy the notecards anyway? Christmas is only a few weeks away!

My contribution "Fading Now"

My contribution "Fading Now"

The image the editors chose was “Fading Now” from my short series of expired flowers. There are 19 other cards (though my set had a couple of extra duplicate cards) featuring photos by Jen Altman, Jenny Vorwaller, Yu-I Chan, Liz Shuman, Cori Kindred, Shu Fang Lee, Jen Gotch, Fernanda Montoro, Mathias Meyer, Anna Beard, Nanako Koyama, Amanda Gilligan, Maditi, Anne Naumann and Hannah Huffman.

The notecards are printed on quality card stock, with a varnish over the image so they’re shiny like a real polaroid…

Bling like the real thing!

And as a nice little touch, the border is printed with the texture of the original Polaroid paper frame

Instant Era

Just to let you know that I’m currently showing work in a group exhibition dedicated to the art of Polaroid. We’re showing at The Nest gallery in California and as this is my first show for a while I’m pretty excited! The private view is tonight, but if you miss that don’t worry; the exhibition runs from the 11th September to 31st October.

The show accompanies the recent “For the Love of Light” book, and I’m showing along with my fellow contributors Jenifer Altman, Anna L. Beard, Jennifer Evans, Jen Gotch, Anna Kathrin Koch, Monika Elena Kost, Nanako Koyoma, Fernanda Montoro, Mia Moreno and Anne Naumann.

To find out more about “For the Love of Light” project or to buy copies, click here.

The Nest gallery is well worth a visit, plus they do a lot to raise money for local arts grants. You can find them on the web at www.napanest.com, though it’s not as much fun as seeing the work in the flesh. If you in the area, drop in and see them at 1019 Atlas Peak Road, Napa, California 94558. Their opening times are Fri, Sat, Sun 10am to 6pm, though you can call them on 707.255.7484.

If you go, be sure to say hi to the lovely Ann Trinca who helped organise the show!

Pre-order “For The Love of Light” now!
Originally uploaded by cyan blue

25 photographers, 10 countries, 50 photographs, 110 pages – one medium.

Hi friends! As you may know, I was asked to contribute two photographs, along with 24 other superb artists, to a celebration of the life of the Polaroid photograph. The expression of our shared love for this sadly doomed medium is “For the Love of Light” – a beautiful book designed and edited by the very talented Jen Altman.

We are now taking pre-orders for the limited edition, individually numbered run of the book. Each book in the initial run will also come with a limited edition 5×5″ print.

You can pre-order your copy and find out more about this fantastic project by visiting the website: www.fortheloveoflight.com

I hope you can join us on our journey!
