There is a Facebook event page that has more information.  The two prints that I have in the show are the following images below.  If you can make it, please do.  I think you’ll enjoy it.

“Katie’s Temperament was Obvious”

“Sialainie was Difficult to Read”

…What will I do?

The ultimate goal is to be a working fine art photographer showing in all of those great places where they show work by great fine art photographers/visual artist like Cindy Sherman, Winni Wintermeyer, Lorna Simpson, Andreas Gursky, Carrie Mae Weems, Alex Prager, Dawoud Bey, Alec Soth, Haley Jane Samuelson, etc.  As I am working on getting from point “A” to point “B”, I’ll put in some work doing those other things I like doing so much – event and portrait/portfolio photography.  I think I’ll need a new web site as my art web site, Edward Lance Montgomery Photography, will not really be the right fit for an event and portrait photography business.  Well, there is much to do so I better get busy.  Just the same, I’m always open to that super awesome career falling into my lap (like working at the California Museumof Photography in Riverside or the Kopeikin Gallery in LA, for example).

Things That I Have Done, 3

Here is the last video I created in Final Cut Pro X for my Digital Motion Imaging class.  This one was not a commercial but rather a kind of how-to video.  I explained how I made a woodcut (or woodblock) print in printmaking after I touched on why I made this particular print.  Printmaking is something I’m going to continue to do also – it is as therapeutic as photography.  All of the photos in the video, as in all of the videos, it took.  Well, except the “DA photo” and the last one with me and the Polish colonel.  I think this video is the best.

Things That I Have Done, 2

Here is the second video I created in Final Cut Pro X.  This one is a little better than project 1, I think.

Things That I Have Done

I will graduate tomorrow with a bachelor’s degree.  This is one of the things I did to earn it.  It was the first video I created in Final Cut Pro X.  It’s a bit rough but I liked it.
