No Fire

It looks like it's on fire. For the record, there is no fire – just fast movement.

If you're interested in buying a print, send me an Instagram DM @elmp_kap or email me at ELMPhoto.FA@gmail.com. If you live in California, I may be able to deliver the artwork to you personally.

Calming Vibes

You might be wondering what I’m doing. I’m trying to send along some calming vibes, from me to you, by way of my print, “Green Joshua”. I’m asking you to slow down so you can really see it. Besides, I think we are all going too fast anyway. That being said, my prints are designed to be seen in person. Face-to-face interaction works best with this work.

The Challenge

 

I do not photograph subjects as life-like images. My work is sometimes abstract and at other times impressionistic and many times both. What I’m doing is having a conversation with light, shadows, and color. In my Kinetic Ambiguity’s Land Series, Vista Segments, there is a lot of focus on what you can’t see. The challenge is often figuring out what you do see. If you look for them, you’ll notice that the landscapes have been there right in front of you, all along.

Selling Prints – 2025

This gets a little unsettling, the act of stating one’s prices in this contemporary art endeavor. Or rather this art business. The reality is that I have nothing to lose and much to gain – though it is challenging to see that right now. So, to be clear, my artwork is for sale.

The LMF Gallery + Darkroom

 

The F/8 Photography group show is still going on until September 3^rd. It’s an imaginative presentation of some amazing photographs. You’ll feel the real purpose of the work when you see it up close. And I mean that for all of the prints, not just mine.

13th Biennial Ontario Open Exhibition, Opening Reception

Hey, don’t mind me. I just broke my website again. For me, WordPress is not user friendly. I even paid for services from an outside vender once. I’m never doing that again – it still hurts. I need to change subjects though. We have another group show coming up, gang! This one is in Ontario, CA and it’s free to the public. Next Saturday at 2pm. That’s May 3^rd next Saturday. I hope to see you there.

Identity

Time is just flying by. Sometimes, it’s a challenge to keep. Like keeping up with the new shows I’m in. Currently, I have two more prints in an exhibition in Livermore, CA. The show, “Identity: Defining Identity Through Visual Expression”, is currently open and runs through May 4^th. It’s a group show and free to enter. You should have a look if you get the chance to.

I Like Bergamot Station Arts Center

I think it was sometime last year, I heard someone say or maybe I was talking with the person who said something kind of disparaging about Bergamot Station Arts Center. Whatever or whomever it was, I don’t agree. I like Bergamot Station Arts Center. It's like a small art show every time you go there. There is a lot of photography there too. If you have never been there, you should go. If you’re into art, I think you’ll like it.

I like hanging out here the most.

Danziger is no longer here.

I managed to photograph myself on this one.

One day I will have an exhibition here at the Rose Gallery

Ontario International Airport

I may have mentioned that my application to exhibit art at Ontario International Airport was approved by the Chaffey Community Museum of Art. Installation of two of my prints (these two) is scheduled for March 19, 2025, and will be up until January 2026. Please, let me know if you see them.

Kinetic Ambiguity 65549, nicknamed “Hilltop”

Kinetic Ambiguity 87665, nicknamed "Lone Joshua Tree”

And regarding the nicknames, I’m starting to nickname just the images that I will be printing for exhibition.

Hello friends and poetry lovers. I’m shaking the cobwebs off of my blog as I need it for the great things that are coming in the near future. I was also wondering if I should scrub the old stuff or just leave it so folks can see a part of the journey. Tell me what you think about keeping or getting rid of the old stuff.

I should probably read it before I do anything else, just in case.

The image with this post is Kinetic Ambiguity 13468. That’s its name. It’s nick name is “Ice Tea” because it kind of looks like a glass of ice tea.

Ok, I’ll talk with you soon.
