My new image, Dress Rehearsal is now available It is solely a digital print, in two sizes. Originally, I had planned a principal edition to be the gelatin gravure intaglio, and a second edition the digital print. But the notoriously temperamental gelatin gravure approach proved to be unsympathetic to my intentions. Rather than waiting any longer on further experimenting, I have decided that the digital version will constitute the sole medium.

These are truly originals and the only originals on paper. The image otherwise exists only on a long suffering computer.

Dress Rehearsal, having become a sui generis, will not be part of the Sight Lines series. Sight Lines II is however well under way, turning to the 1920’s Parisian street photography of Eugene Atget. Completion is hoped to be summer 2010.

Make sure to view the new high resolution versions (created using Zoomify software) of both Dress Rehearsal and Tracking Shot, available in place of the larger version and detail images of each print.

The 24 x 36 is now ready. The 32 x 44 will be ready by December 8th, and is intended to make up in size for the abandoned intaglio. Those interested in acquiring Dress Rehearsal should contact one of the print dealers listed on the Print Dealers page for additional information.

Since I have been quite persuaded by the image to let it simply speak for itself, I am holding back on releasing an accompanying essay. Though much could be said, this time the sheer elusiveness of its mysteries is being allowed to trump any ruse of explication. I will only say, the sources and appropriations were drawn from everywhere, and were then digitally drawn upon with the exuberant relief of all hesitation thrown to the winds. The prerogative of age.
