Launched My New Etsy Shop!

Post image for Launched My New Etsy Shop!

by Shane on 2010/07/26

I’m delighted to announce that over the weekend, we (with much help and support from Roxanne) launched my Etsy Shop to display photographs from 4 of my current Photographic Series:

  • ʻAwapuhi (Ginger)
  • Kāwele (Towels)
  • Mea (Objects)
  • Holoholo (Cruising)

Currently only about 1/3 of the photos have been uploaded. I’m uploading a few more each day.

I’ll also be launching a Facebook Fan Page and will be adding a Portfolio and Gallery section to my site here. Lots of work still to do…

I hope you’ll drop by my shop on Etsy, take a look around, and let me know what you think!

"Abstract 8167"

A few weeks ago I submitted several of my photographs to my very first Juried Photography Exhibition. I’m thrilled to announce that one of my abstract photographs, “Abstract 8167“, was accepted!

The exhibition is titled, “Contemporary Photography in Hawaii 2010: The Second Annual Statewide Survey Exhibition.” It is sponsored by University of Hawaii at Manoa Pacific New Media and was juried by Jerry Omo and David Ulrich.

From the exhibition description: The Second Annual Survey Exhibition Sponsored by Pacific New Media. This juried exhibition is open to all artists using photographic processes: traditional silver or color prints, digital imaging, alternative processes and mixed media explorations. Contemporary Photography in Hawaii 2010 is meant to offer artists that use photographic processes a venue for exhibiting work and to provide a snapshot of the “state of the art” of photography in Hawaii.

Hawaii residents, amateurs and professionals, are welcome to submit images. Works must show evidence of a photographic process in their creation.

The photographs I submitted for the Contemporary Photography in Hawaii 2010 exhibition were created completely in camera. I don’t even own Photoshop. Yet! Additionally, the 16 x 20 inch photographs are created by a state of the art process that infuses dyes directly into the surface of specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the aluminum surface and not simply printed on it, the prints are archival without requiring frames or glass; ultra-hard and scratch-resistant; completely waterproof and weatherproof; can be cleaned with any commercial glass cleaner; and radiate a brilliant and luminescent quality that cannot be achieved with high quality paper or traditional printing techniques.

The painterly abstracts where created by experimenting with Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and by manually adjusting aperture, focus, and shutter speed. I imported them directly from the camera into Apple’s Aperture where only lens dust specs were removed. No color corrections, filters, or enhancements of any kind were applied.

Here is a short “unboxing” video that Roxanne shot when the photographs arrived from the printer. The first photograph is from my “Negatives” series that I haven’t yet posted.

Exhibition details:

Location: Frame Arts Hawaii (couldn’t find their website)
Address: 627 South St., Honolulu, Hawaii
Dates: April 1 – April 30, 2010
Times: Monday – Friday 10am – 6pm, Saturdays 10am – 5pm

Opening Artists Reception: Friday, April 2, 2010, 6pm – 9pm

Below is the exhibition poster.

Aloha, Bill. Godspeed.

February 20, 2009

Rox’s dad, Bill Benton, lost his 15 year battle with 5 different cancers last night. He quietly and peacefully slipped away in his Florida home with his wonderful wife, Blanche, and two of his four daughters, Barbara and Judy, by his side. I feel honored to have gotten to know him over the past 8 [...]

Up On The Roof

January 4, 2009

It’s just after 11:30pm here on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and I’m tapping out this blog post on my iPhone, in the dark, while pearched on the roof of our house. The “trades” (that’s what we here on the islans lovingly refer to the Trade Winds that blow in off the Pacific ocean) have [...]

First full day in Park City and we went rock climbing, out to dinner, and then to see Ocean’s 13. The rock climbing was the most fun and you’ll have to watch to find out why.

Twitter + IM = Life Changing Opportunities

June 22, 2007

I just finished IM’ing (Instant Messaging) with someone that I’ve only recently met via Twitter. He recently received an invitation to blog for one of the Presidential campaigns and had some questions that he thought I might be able to answer. An hour later and he was so inspired that he decided to go for [...]
