I have been posting photographs from New Mexico, on a daily basis for more that two years now. This has been a really good thing for me. It has kept me engaged in doing photography and kept me making new images. A lot of people have been very supportive of this work, for which I am really grateful. So, I really want to continue doing this. However there have been some frustrations in the way this has evolved. I have posted on Facebook, in a couple of areas, and on LinkedIn and sent out e-mail. Unfortunately, this doesn\u2019t create any coherent archive of my images. Also, it means that the images are transitory, today\u2019s image replaces yesterday\u2019s shot. Another challenge is that since I post one image a day, I often have a great many images that may never be posted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my time of being an active commercial photographer I did not have nearly as much freedom to do creative work. Now, with retirement from commercial work I have been able to do the creative work that originally excited me photographically. I am very grateful to still be excited and able to do such work. So, I am now going to try to present the work in a different, deeper, way. I will be using my blog to display images that relate to each other as groups. Of course I will continue to post daily images in the same way I have been.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am also trying a couple of things that will give people an opportunity to support this work. While I am fortunate to have enough money to continue to do this work, some things are pretty expensive. For instance 11×14 film is hard to get and costs about $300 for just 25 shots and a 120 roll of Ilford Delta 400 is close to $9.<\/span><\/span>

I will also be making prints available for purchase. Of course, I am flattered when anyone wants a print of any image I\u2019ve made. And, it must be said, more so when they want to buy a print. If you have a United States mailing address the price will be $65 for a print approximately 11×14 inches. This price includes shipping. If you\u2019d like to order more prints at the same time, they\u2019ll be only $60 for each additional print. This includes shipping and handling. I\u2019ll be putting instructions and a PayPal link with each group of images. These will be digital prints made with an 8-color ink set on paper which is rated for 100 year endurance with these inks. I may make some handmade prints available at a future time. <\/span><\/span>I invite your questions and ideas about this project! Please e-mail me at john@siskinpthoto.com<\/a>. I also would be interested to know what you think about\u00a0 any of the images.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I did a large show when I was still in Indianapolis called Courting Chaos<\/a>. The link will take you to the pages which describe the work and its evolution. These images are, well, chaotic and many of them are nudes. I hope you\u2019ll find it interesting.<\/p>\n
