Lastly, we would like to thank the photo community, local and national.

Did you know that landscape depictions declined af

Did you know that landscape depictions declined after the fall of the Roman Empire and it wasn't until the 16th century that Renaissance artists began a revival of the subject? ⁠
⁠
Landscape and nature have been constant themes in painting and photography, evolving through countless approaches. Today's featured artists, Dawn Watson (@dawnwatson.photo) and Vicki Reed (@vickir33d), depict this theme in two different ways, yet share a connection as they turn to nature to escape the world's chaos. ⁠
⁠
Dawn Watson says, "Nature serves as my muse, focus of concern, a source of solace and nexus of healing as I endeavor to make sense of the grace and chaos inherent in each moment." A sentiment Vicki Reed shares, "The more chaotic the world is, the more I am drawn to the stillness of nature. I try to capture the moments that people often overlook hoping to encourage them to slow down and live in the now." ⁠
⁠
Dawn and Vicki belong to a collective of photographers who share a long history of capturing the landscape to contemplate how we affect and belong in it. They also display how photographers can tackle the same theme but with different approaches, which can be seen in the works of multiple artists within the print auction. ⁠
⁠
To bid on these items, use the link in our bio. ⁠

Image Credit (in order):⁠
1. Dawn Watson, Drift/Bound No. 18, from series Untethered Landscapes, 2022. Dye sublimation aluminum print, 18 x 18 inches. ⁠
2. Vicki Reed, Jordon Pond II, 2014. Lith print 6 x 6 inches, matted to 12 x 12 inches. ⁠

Did you know that over 1,000 images are uploaded to Instagram per second? ⁠Many of us consume photography through our smartphones, so we thought we would try to provide some context when it comes to life-size dimensions for a few pieces in our auction.⁠
⁠
The first two images are digital versions of photographs from Linda Connor and Juan Fuentes, fit to Instagram dimensions (1080 x 1080 pixels). The last two slides feature the actual prints – Linda's print, a standard 8 x 10 inches, standing just slightly taller than an iPhone 10 on a wooden easel, and then we can see how those both compare to Juan's framed print.⁠
⁠
If you're interested in viewing these prints and others available in our auction, all images can be seen during the Grand Opening Celebration on Thursday, May 18. Purchase your ticket by using the link in our bio. ⁠
⁠
All print dimensions in the auction can be found on clickbid. When considering your purchase, look around your home for items of a similar size. ⁠
⁠
Image Credit (in order):⁠
1. Linda Connor, "Spirit Door, Egypt", 1989. Archival digital print, 10 x 8 inches.⁠
2. Juan Fuentes, "Don Anastacio", 2021. Framed, inkjet print, 16 x 24 inches.⁠

Did you know that the photobook is not a recent in

Did you know that the photobook is not a recent invention? It has existed since the very beginning of the medium and before the twentieth century it was the mode for access more than exhibitions. Today it is considered an art form in and of itself.
⁠
Brad Temkin’s (@bradtemkin) “Private Places: Photographs of Chicago Gardens” is one of five different book and print bundles in our print auction that can be yours.
⁠
“Gardens are a place of refuge; a place where one can read, meditate and relax. They are a place of beauty. The gardener is always thinking and planning for the future; yet the past has a direct influence on his planning. The photographs reveal a sense for the person behind the gardens just as they reveal something about the person experiencing them. Therefore the gardens become metaphors… Private Places for a person to go.”⁠ - Brad Temkin

Did you know the word cyanotype comes from the Anc

Did you know the word cyanotype comes from the Ancient Greek kuáneos, “dark blue” + túpos, “mark, impression, type”? The photographic process was first introduced in 1842 by John Herschel and was used in the fields of engineering, architecture, and botany. The cyanotype's success as a form of artistic expression lies in its capacity for imaginative manipulation.
⁠
Christine Nguyen (@seamoonshe) is a local photographer who draws upon her love for nature and the sciences. Through her work, Nguyen envisions the fluctuations between the micro- and macroscopic. Her art has allowed her to continuously know more about the world in which we live.
⁠
Kristy Headley (@kristy.headley), a San Francisco Bay based photographer, describes her work as a meditation on stuckness, stagnation, and observation at the precipice of change. Headley zooms in on the smallest of nature’s living organisms and shines a light into their cyclical, foundational work that provides vitality to our natural world.
⁠
Both of the cyanotype photographs featured here are up for bidding in our print auction (use the link in our bio).
⁠
Image Credit (in order): ⁠
1. Christine Nguyen, "Wheat & Flower", 2019. Cyanotype and salt crystals on stretched muslin, 14 x 10 inches.
2. Kristy Headley, "Roots", 2020. Cyanotype on kozo, 10 x 8 inches and framed to 14 x 11 inches.
