An Intimate Dahlia

Trying to look at a familiar object in a new way. There's probably a little surrealism at work here as well. Shot with the Canon T-90 using Fujichrome Velvia.

Blue Coast

Dusk at Seaside, Oregon. Shot on Fujichrome Velvia with a Canon T-90. The glories of slide film saturation.

The Road Well Traveled

An overcast morning in Sorrento, Italy, on the Amalfi Coast. Drizzle and quiet before the day begins. Shot with a Canon G10. How old are those cobbles?

Late Summer Afternoon

A summer's day, in hot pastels. Shot with the Canon G10. When the light warms and slants, I love shooting textured surfaces and street scenes straight on a Hopperesque feel.

WATCH THAT SPACE

A new, exciting (or at least perhaps engaging), slight demented adventure begins tomorrow on Splattworks, splattsights companion blog. Don't change the channel....

Sorry I've neglected this poor blog for so long. The best-laid plans, and so on.

The above was shot with a Canon G10, an early morning struggle between and cloud and clear that turned bronze as the sun rose. Just being in the right place at the right time.

I can feel the photo bug chewing at me. A bad sign....

Summer in the Pearl District

Purchasing Prints*

I'm not intending to make this blog a commercial website by any means, but I am frequently asked whether or not I sell prints. In the past, I've hesitated due to permanance questions regarding color inkjet prints, but I recently purchased a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 printer, which uses Canon Chromalife inks, which, printed on archival paper, are rated to last 30 years displayed under glass and 100 years in archival binders, which makes them about as permanent as color prints produced chemically. If you see an asterisk (*) next to a post title, it means the print is available for order.

Two prices are given, the first for unmounted prints sent in a mailing tube, the second for mounted/framed prints set in an archival, simple black metal frame with archival matting and glass. Please add $12.95 per print for shipping within the United States. (If you're in Portland, I can also arrange to deliver the prints to you.) All prints are printed on archival papers, and you can request glossy or pearl finishes. Personally, I think the glossy prints look better with my printer.

8x10: $50/$75
11x14: $75/$110
13x19: $100/$145

As my black & white work is handmade in the darkroom using traditional silver processes, I'm still working out the prices for those. To order, send check or money order to: Steve Patterson, 4700 SE 71st Ave., Portland, OR 97206. Eventually, if there's sufficient interest, I may set up a PayPal account. If you'd like to give me call to discuss an order, my number is 503-312-6665 and my e-mail is splatterson@mindspring.com.

Thanks....
