photo-eye Gallery is delighted to announce new work by represented artist and Santa Fe based photographer James Pitts.
Made during the pandemic, the new images are from the artist's ongoing series Flowers — a meditative series of various flora set against minimal backgrounds that are a nod to Zen philosophy in its simplicity and delicateness.
Widely known for his serene and beautiful prints created from large-format negatives, Pitts' work is timeless, elegant, and alluring.

for my wife, making a vase or

of seeing an image on the ground

a new negative in the hypo, brushing
