Picture of the Week #257 "White Whisper" Venice, Italy 2011 Signed and Stamped

This is a manipulated image from my "Carnivale Candy" series. I was torn between showing it with or without a black border. I love the cleanliness of the image, but at the same time I wanted to hold it together with the border. I opened my Stone Canyon Gallery in Culver City with this Carnivale show that showcases many life size cut outs as well as photographs in varying sizes. I am trying to be a good merchandiser and to cover all price points with the work. We're at 4130 Sepulveda Blvd Suite A in Culver City California. As I get antsy I leave for lunch or just go home as I'm not used to keeping regular retail hours. So call first. 310 866-7387 to make sure I am there.

Picture of the Week #256 "Crossing the Street"  Dordogne, France 1991 Signed & Stamped

I'm getting forgetful. I can't recall exactly when I took this, only that I was living in the Dordogne area of France. I don't remember if it was after I met my wife Ann or before. My gut tells me that it was before, but I can't pin point the exact year. I believe it was about 1991 right before I returned to America and met the love in my life. The image also brings back memories of Riberac, the small town where I rented a charming place for 3 months. It was here that I eventually saw the Tour de France up close. And fell madly in love with this little trespassed part of France. It's since been discovered much to my dismay. But images like this bring back lovely memories of that wonderful summer.

Picture of the Week #255 "Stairs"  Paris, France 2013 Signed & Stamped

While visiting the Grand Palais video show titled "Dynamo" I looked down to see this graphic shot just waiting to be taken. Click. I got it and a few alternatives. One even had a couple kissing on the top of the stairs, but I am going with this one as I prefer the dynamics of the sculpture hanging down to the figure descending the stairs. There is something almost ominous waiting to happen.

Picture of the Week #254 "Window Replacement" Rome, Italy 2013 Signed & Stamped

One of those moments when I happen to be walking down a quiet street in Rome when suddenly there was this window being replaced. I was quick enough to capture the action. I love the guy who is watching the installers. One of those decisive moments as Henri Cartier-Bresson would say.
