Cork Printmakers Christmas Showcase 2009

This is well worth a visit. There will be a great range of affordable art on sale and it’s a great showcase of various printmaking techniques. All artists are from Cork Printmakers.

My piece ‘Cobh Water Tower’ from the previous post will be available and on show.

The new issue of ‘Light Leaks’ magazine is available now. It’s their ‘Pinhole Special’  and they’ve published one of my photos,  ‘Cobh Water Tower’.

The photo editor for this issue was Brian J. Krummel whose new book ‘The Pinhole Camera‘ has just been published.

Here’s my very first effort of a cyanotype print.  It was made during a weekend course at The Light Exchange in Dublin City. Gum Bichromate was the other alternative process I learned about.

The image is a Pinhole photo taken in Cobh, Co. Cork.

My new site Cuba Obscura is finally finished. It contains a selection of Pinhole prints taken in Cuba during December 06 and January 07. They were printed as Photo Intaglio Etchings.

Plenty here for lovers of Shipwrecks, Death and Tropical Landscapes . . . .

Here’s a funny letter written by a 12 year old Fidel Castro.
