Bill has collaborated with the Seraphim Quartet, a women’s vocal group, to create the Focus on Seraphim website at www.seraphim.wmgphoto.com.
Bill’s latest post to that website features the photograph, Hot Time at the Cotton Club, reproduced below.
Hot Time at the Cotton Club
In a recent visit to Baltimore’s Fells Point, I captured this image, which I call Prisoner of Life. Prisoner of life resides in the Street Photography portfolio at my online photo gallery, www.wmgphoto.com
Message in a Bottle is an artwork derived from my photograph, Alpha and Omega, which photograph is reproduced below.
Like with Alpha and Omega, I have created physical works of art derived from other photographic images in the Focus on Religion gallery at www.wmgphoto.com. Schism II is based upon the photograph, Schism, which I have written about on this website in the article entitled Expanding the Frame.
Also discussed in that article is Welcome to Nirvana, a physical work of art comprised of the photograph of the same name enclosed in a wall sized Japanese Torii gate handcrafted out of weathered oak.
My photograph, Praise God, will be on exhibit November 6, through December 3, 2009, at the Seventh Annual International Juried Art Exhibition, in a show called What’s the Big Idea, at the Northbrook Public Library and Art Center in Northbrook, Illinois, near Chicago.
Rarities is an exhibition of photographs at the Corkin Gallery in Toronto running until June 30, 2009. I found this understated, small show to be one of the most satisfying museum exhibitions of photography I have ever experienced.
Included among the 7 or so photographs are Alfred Steiglitz’s famous 1907 photogravure, The Steerage, and a wonderful large brown pigment gum bichromate print by one of the acknowledged masters of the gum printing process, Heinrich Kuhn, his 1905 Landscape — Peasant with Cart.
Also featured in the show are Eugene Atget and Ansel Adams.
