Dave Austin - Fine Art Digital Photography July/August News: Taking some time from behind the viewfinder for a few weeks to recharge. June News: My day job has been intense this month, so haven't done much this month. I am working on replacing our law office's Case Intake System along with our Membership Management System by combining them into a single CRM (Customer Relations Management) system. That, along with the fact that my Nikon 70-200 zoom lens was at the Nikon Repair Center for over a month, has set back my work for this month. No excuses, but that's the thing. Please stop back next week. And... Sign the Guestbook.. April/May News: Be sure to check out the NEW PICS in the Gallery. And... Sign the Guestbook. There will be another free print giveaway next month (June). Guestbook visitors will be automatically entered in the contest. Selected works from my "Upstate" Series will be at the Tantillo Gallery in Albany (488 Broadway near Pine) the weekend of May 2nd. Opening reception from 5-9pm. This is a benefit for The Starlight Foundation, a New York City based organization whose mission is to help seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities. The winner of the first Print Giveaway is Jacky Kirkpatrick---Congratulations, Jacky (a photo of the presentation will be here soon). A month long show, in November, of selected works is scheduled at The MochaBlend Cafe espresso bar (720 Hoosick Street in Troy--just up the street from RPI ). Congratulations to them for being a top winner of Capital Region Living Magazine's "Best Lunch Spot for 2008". Click here for CRL Mag's write-up on MochaBlend.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CLICK HERE for NEW Gallery images ANNOUNCING "Victorian Variations - Reliving the Dream (Volume One)". This is a new "Blurb.com" book that Ken Peters and I have just released. Available in either hardcover or softcover, it is eighty pages of combined prose/poetry by Ken with digital imagers created using Photoshop and various filters by yours truly. The images are derived from Victorian era photographs of ladies in various stages of undress in a variety of classic poses on a plethora of decidedly non-computer generated and somewhat silly, but none-the-less effective, interior sets. Click on the Blurb link below for more information on the book, including an 18 page PDF "Preview" of it that you may download, as well as an e-commerce order page to purchase it online directly from Blurb.com (the link actually takes you to the Blurb website and bookstore). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The images on my site are the culmination of a lifetime of experience, although in real time they are only of the last two years (2005-2007) since I took the digital plunge and invested in Nikon D200 and D70 SLR cameras. I have been doing photography and graphics related work for over ten years combined with over forty years of rolling around Mother Earth while trying to gather no moss. Hopefully the work reflects this. If you wish to know a bit more about me, please see my artist's "statement" on the About page. |

You'll find several themes that I have been exploring on this site, although the primary focus is on landscape (both natural and urban) and nature-related, earth-friendly digital photograhy. If you are interested in purchasing any of the images, please click on the above Sales menu for more specifics and a current pricelist. Printing is done on Canon iPF5000 inkjet printer. Canon has managed to knock the 500 pound Epson gorilla, that has been the mainstay of most artistic inkjet printing for some time, off his throne. You can click here for a Google search of the printer if you want to know more about this amazing feat of engineering. But I digress... I personally craft each print on museum quality archival paper using Canon's "Lucia" inks. Both paper and inks ensure permanance of over a hundred years. Please contact me for any custom printing you may wish to have in addition to any interest you may have in purchasing prints from the Gallery. Additionally, I am available, by appointment, for select photographic assignments on hourly or per job contract. Dave Austin
