NEWS AND VIEWS
I am looking forward to this weekend’s show event with the Reading-Berks Chapter of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. This show is a great opportunity to shop some of the most respected makers of fine handcrafts and art in the area. It is an indoor show with both food and entertainment included.

The North Penn Select Craft Show is a wonderful show to find fine works of art and the works of the highest craftsmanship. Personally though, it is also a great way for me start my show year. The show is this Saturday from 9:30am to 4:30pm at North Penn High School in Lansdale, PA. Prepare to get there early and expect to be impressed!

The image I show below is now a new print that I have titled Yin Yang. I enjoy the visual simplicity and Zen feeling that the image conveys. With its equal parts of light (Yang) and dark (Yin), I created an image with visual balance which has a similar form to the well-known Tai Chi symbol.
The image itself was made in Maine in the area around Acadia National Park on an overcast day. Working in overcast conditions allowed me to maintain tonalities without harsh highlights and deep shadow. The dark part of the image is a reflection of the mountain that towers over the pond while the light side of the image is that area in which the mountain does not reflect (just the overcast sky).
The image was made with a Canon 5D Mark II and a Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 II L IS lens on a tripod topped with a Really Right Stuff ballhead. For this type of imagery I also like to use mirror lockup and an electronic cable-release.
