I took down the #dhmcshow yesterday. Framed prints all over the hallways. Got to put them away and keep track of which ones are where. Not my favorite part of #photography. Showing prints is great, but bringing them back home is hard. Wishing they all stayed out in the world where they belong. Been showing photographs since 1981 I guess, and it’s always hard to take down a show. Either I'm too sensitive, or else I'm getting soft.

Leaf Splash, Foliage Reflections, October, Vermont

Another image I didn't manage to get into the #DHMCShow, but one I wanted to use. Again, I wanted it on the Baryta paper, but my printer wasn't working with those inks.

Covered Bridge Through Snowy Tree

Here is another photo I wanted to hang in the #DHMCShow but couldn't. I wanted to print this on baryta paper to get the reds to pop as much as possible, but the printer wasn't working with those inks.

The new printer, it turns out, manages to land most colors as well or better on soft papers, unlike the old one. So this is now framed and printed on Canson Edition Etching paper. Reds still less vibrant than my screen.

Footprints and Seagull Tracks

After posting all of the hanging #DHMCShow photos, I'll indulge in posting some of the ones I hoped to hang but didn't.

Very slowly recovering from Covid and with a malfunctioning $5000 printer, I had head-winds while prepping

This image printed great. I had printed it on roll paper that had a strong curl. I put it under a pile of prints to straighten before I mounted it, and I just couldn't find it again. I found it now.

Fog rolling over Lake Myvatn, Evening

This is the last photo in the #DHMCShow, #46. Like the two before it, it's a 16 x 40 frame given a whole panel of wall.

Puddle in Cornfield, Tree Reflection

This is #45 in the #DHMCShow, a 16 x 40 frame that gets its own panel.

Two Oat Seed Heads with Pink Petunias

This is another image I missed in the sequence posting the #DHMCShow in recent weeks. I think this is in a 10 x 18 frame and printed on Aquarelle watercolor paper. This is one of those images that works better as a print than on screen, I think. At least for me.

Waterlily After Rain

Going back in time to when I was younger, a few weeks ago, I missed this one in the L->R sequence. I went to see the #DHMCShow yesterday while in town and saw two I missed. #35 here.

Funny, the way I see compositions, but my favorite things about this are not the subject (flower) or secondary subject (rain on leaves) but the negative space between the leaves, all silvery.

Connecticut River Rock Puddles and Autumn Foliage Reflection

The 44th photo hanging in my current #DHMCShow. We have jumped across a hall to a new panel This big frame, 16 x 40 inches, takes up the whole next panel. It's printed on watercolor paper.

This is pretty straight up. People often think I've messed with it a lot, but no.

Two Flowering Trees, Tulips, White Hat

This is the 43rd print in my currently hanging #DHMCShow and the end of this panel. It'ns framed 16 x 20 and printed on watercolor paper. I also have a much bigger framed print of it hanging now at Long River Gallery.

It's funny: while I was making this exposure I was frustrated that the woman in orange was in the frame of my composition and staying there. Turns out the photo needs her anyway.
