Maria and I spent an hour this afternoon choosing eleven photographs to show in the George Forss-Jon Katz “Landscape Perspectives Art Show to start the second week of February, about a month from now at the Round House Cafe. The cafe will hold a reception for the two of us – it is scheduled for 7 p.m., February 20, 2014, at the Round House Cafe, Main Street, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.

This is quite a privilege for me, showing my work alongside the genius of George Forss. Maria and I went to Saratoga today and bought mats and frames – they were on sale, and George is printing my photographs. This means we can sell them inexpensively, probably in the $150 range, there is no way to print them on classy paper for any less. Maria is curating the show, and Scott Carrino, my good friend, is the co-owner of the cafe along with his wife Lisa. It seems like a warm and connected circle, the way creativity is supposed to work.

George is planning a retrospective of his New York-Washington County landscapes, including some digital color photographs, among his first. You can see George’s brilliant work on his blog. I think we’ll both speak about our work at the reception.

This landscape, taken with my wide angle fisheye on a late fall day, is one of my favorite landscapes, it captures the texture and sweep of a classic old farmhouse with barns. The photos will be hanging in the Round House for a month or so, all of them will be for sale, matted and framed. I don’t care much for showing my work at art shows, I can’t say I care much for art shows, but this one, showing my work with George, curated by Maria, hosted by Scott, wants to happen.
