I know that I am supposed to say that it was really difficult to pick a favorite, that I stewed and thought about it for days, but I didn’t with this set. Beth Moon’s Aquila really pulled me from the moment that I saw it. It could be because orange is my favorite color or that I haven’t really seen anyone capture the stars in this way before. I love the connection of the earth and all of space! The tree is sprouting up and makes your eyes follow the galaxy until you run out of photograph. It’s a really lovely dance between the here and now and the unreachable. I may not be able to reach the stars but this insanely old tree with its wise limbs seems to be so close.

I met Bryant Austin at PhotoAlliance’s Our World portfolio review in San Francisco. During the review, I met with dozens of talented photographers, but in the end, it was Austin’s work that I had a particularly strong connection with — one particular image I'm Here: The Sun Leaving Cathedral Spires, Yosemite, 2016 was and is still burned into my mind. This image is now featured on the card for our current exhibition Cosmos. In my experience Bryant Austin's images are transformative. Though they are made in a specific place (Yosemite) at a specific time (when the sun is at specific parts of the sky) and are recorded utilizing a highly controlled and highly technical process, the images transport me somewhere that is quiet and full of magic. Something about the sun and silhouette of the lone tree and cliffside evokes something primal — a profound and deep connection with nature.

Chris McCaw – Sunburned GSP#408 (Great Salt Lake), 2009, Unique Gelatin-Silver Print, 11x14" Image
Price Upon Request

Chris McCaw's work is sublime. Using a handmade 8x10 camera and loaded with vintage photographic paper, McCaw transforms Utah's Great Salt Lake into a primordial scene in his image Sunburned GSP#408. Here, a dense murky void is broken only the shimmer of water in the central foreground and a piercing black object seemingly streaking skyward from a shadowy horizon below – it's faint radiating halo lending the phenomenon a tantalizing power. The void is ominous, dangerous in its utter lack of detail, and yet I feel compelled to move forward, to investigate the inexplicable event. I love this paradox.

Of course, with context, in the safety of the gallery we know the mysterious object is the sun on its routine midday approach, and the void a serene Western American landscape, yet neither of these aspects are apparent in the image. Not only has McCaw devised a way to make landscape photography feel unfamiliar, here-to-for unseen, but is able to simultaneously reveal how spectacular something as benign as the mid-morning sun really is. In the past, we've recommended collecting work you love, something that enriches your life on a daily basis, and for me, Sunburned GSP#408 is certainly an image I could ponder, admire, and enjoy every day.

Linda Connor – August 31, 1896, Contact Print, Printing Out Paper, Gold Toned,10x8" Image, SOLD
Please Inquire about Availability

Linda Connor's gorgeous gold-toned prints form the Lick Observatory in California are a long-time staple at photo-eye Gallery and we are thrilled to have a number installed in our current exhibition, Cosmos. Connor's images prominently feature glass plates made at the Lick Observatory in the late nineteenth-century through the early twentieth-century and fit Cosmos' core themes of transformation and wonder. Gallery Director Anne Kelly spoke with Connor about the Lick Observatory project back in 2012 during our Solar exhibition and detailed the heart of how and why the series came to be. We would love to share an excerpt from that work with you here.

In Cosmos, our current exhibition, six diverse artists celebrate humanity’s fascination with the vast expanse beyond Earth’s boundaries, focusing on heavenly bodies as a means to convey notions of time, scale, and splendor. For the second part of our two-part Favorites Series this month, Gallery staff are focusing on Alan Friedman's striking, high-definition images of the sun, Kate Breakey's Orotones from her Golden Stardust series, and Linda Connor's rich renderings on printing out paper from California's Lick Observatory.

It has been a few weeks since our last show favorites, so we have had some time to live with the work while we make our next selections. Overall this is a spectacular show and must be seen in person to really get the grasp of this work. Cosmos will be up through July 20th so there is still time to come in and see the work for yourself.

Beauty and a Beast by Alan Friedman is my pick for this week. I seem to be a sucker for color and his work overall has such an intense color palette that they will physically grab your attention. The blue from this piece does just that.

I’ve sat looking at this image, trying to figure out the title for some time and while doing so fell in love with it. Be it the sun that is the beast creating beauty with its flares or the other way around, it really captures the sun in a fairytale way. Alan reminds us not to look at "our neighborhood star" directly, but through his work we get to safely see our star. I picked Alan's work because he shows us the sun in a way that I've never seen before and it is breathtaking.

When we have group exhibitions at the gallery visitors sometimes express that they love the show as a whole – and that this can make it particularly harder to select just one piece. While it may not be possible to purchase the entire exhibition, sometimes selecting a pair of images is a good solution. This is what I have done today.

I have selected two images of the moon – one by Kate Breakey and one by Linda Connor. Kate Breakey's image shows a crescent moon setting in her backyard in Arizona. This image is then printed on glass and backed with gold leaf so that the delicate crescent moon is just slightly illuminated.

My second selection is an image that was printed by Linda Connor, from an 8x10 glass plate negative from the archives of the Lick Observatory in Mount Hamilton, CA. This image was originally recorded on July 4th of 1899 and then later printed by Connor using the sunlight on printing out paper and then gold toned. I love that both images are of the same ancient subject, but from very different times in the world.

Chris McCaw – Sunburned GSP#932 (Idaho), 2016, Gelatin-Silver Print, 8x10" Image

Perhaps photographer Chris McCaw doesn’t need an introduction. His ongoing project, Sunburn, has caught fire in recent years, and McCaw’s exhibited internationally, including shows at the Getty Museum in LA, the Somerset House Trust in London, and we are incredibly pleased to have a number of images included in our COSMOS exhibition.

Using giant homemade large format cameras, McCaw exposes antique and obsolete silver gelatin enlarging paper to direct sunlight for up to twenty-four hours. The effect is incredible. Over the duration of the extended exposure, the paper solarizes, forming a positive image where the sun literally burns a hole in its jagged arching wake. These scenes are a dark and primordial expression of time, entropy, and the cyclical process of creation and destruction.

Gallery Director Anne Kelly recently spoke with McCaw about his process, his practice, and what advice he has for those just beginning their photographic careers. COSOMS is on view at photo-eye through this Saturday, July 21st, 2018.
