TEXAS TWO-STEP: Texas Hill Country & the LBJ Ranch

May 16 - June 22, 2013

FINE PRINTS by SCOT MILLER, ALAN ROSS & R.P. WASHBURNE

From endless bluebonnets and wildflowers in Mason and Gillespie Counties, to unique perspectives of the LBJ Ranch in Stonewall, this exhibition by a trio of photographers features a wide range of stunning Texas Hill Country imagery.

Many people are familiar with the most recent Texas White House in Crawford, Texas, but the original Texas White House in the Texas Hill Country town of Stonewall, was home to our 36th President, Lyndon B. Johnson, his wife, Lady Bird, and their family. In his five-year presidency in the 1960’s, LBJ spent almost 25% of his time at the ranch.

In addition to the fine prints on display, HD video of the LBJ Ranch shot by Artist-in-Park Scot Miller will be shown in the gallery throughout the exhibition along with audio recordings of fascinating telephone conversations from the ranch between LBJ and others. The public is invited and admission is complimentary. Russ Whitlock, Superintendent of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, will be the Special Guest at the opening reception on May 18.

About Alan Ross

Alan Ross has earned an international reputation as a specialist in the art of black-and-white photography – as an artist, educator and master printer. He was Ansel Adams' Photographic Assistant in Carmel from 1974 to 1979, and was integrally involved in Adams' books, teaching in Yosemite, and production of fine prints. He has been exclusive printer of Ansel Adams' Yosemite Special Edition negatives for nearly thirty-five years, making each gelatin silver print directly from Adams’ original negatives.

Alan operated a commercial photography studio in San Francisco for twelve years with projects ranging from ads and worldwide campaigns for the Bank of America to landscape murals for the National Park Service. He relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1993 to devote more of his energies to his personal work, teaching, and work for select clients, including Boeing, Nike, IBM, and MCI. His fine prints are in great demand and hang in collections throughout the country and internationally.

About R.P. Washburne

The ability to elicit an emotion with a photograph has intrigued R.P. “Dick” Washburne since he received a Kodak Brownie for his fifth birthday. During high school, a friend loaned him a camera. As he developed and saw the first images come to life in the dark room, a light turned on in his soul. He read Andreas Feininger’s The Complete Photographer, purchased a used camera and an enlarger, and began to tie all the processes together. In 1998, in an effort to take his photography to the next level, Washburne spent a year traveling the world and studying the craft of photography and fine print making with some of the most accomplished photographers and printmakers in the world

Dick Washurne’s photographs have appeared regularly in D Magazine since 2005. He has also published travel stories alongside his photography in both D and the Robb Report and has shot Major League Baseball games for D Magazine’s sports blog, Inside Corner. In 2003, his first solo exhibit, a collection of photographs he shot of volunteer doctors in remote areas of Haiti, was shown in Chattanooga. In 2008, Dick’s photographic study of master potter David Hendley was exhibited at the Museum of East Texas and added to its permanent collection. Washburne lives in Dallas, Texas with his wife, Evy Kay.

PREVIOUS EXHIBITIONS AT SUN TO MOON GALLERY...

VIEW THE FINE PRINTS FROM "ALISON SHAW: TIDES"

Alison Shaw: TIDES

April 4 - May 11, 2013

tide n. an alternate rise and fall of the surface of the ocean and of water bodies (as gulfs, bays and rivers) connected with the ocean that occurs usually twice a day, caused by the attraction of the sun and moon

Off the south coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, lies Martha's Vineyard, where master photographer Alison Shaw has lived, observed, and contemplated the changing of tides and the island light since 1975. Like the tides, Alison's work is always in motion. She has long been known for her iconic Vineyard landscapes, often featuring acute sharpness, intensely saturated color, and strong graphic composition, capturing both the expansive beauty of the island as well as the smallest of details such as the peeling hull of an aged wooden boat. More recently, her creative tides have shifted towards a more "painterly" look in her photographs, with soft, muted looks achieved in part by moving the camera like a paintbrush, panning as she shoots, minimizing the details, resulting in an image that instead evokes the subject's sensual nature.

Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Stan Grossfeld has said that “she is
to the Vineyard what Georgia O’Keeffe is to the American Southwest.”

This new exhibition at Sun to Moon Gallery celebrates the cycle of the tides in Alison's creative work, featuring both crisp, clear, saturated images and tranquil, ethereal seascapes (and variations thereof!). We look forward to seeing you at the gallery soon.

 

DAN BURKHOLDER:

Pushing the
Photographic Envelope

February 21 – March 30, 2013

Combining the old with the new has been a trademark of photographer and master printer Dan Burkholder for many years. In the early 1990’s, Dan's book "Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing" opened the door for legions of artists and photographers striving to combine the beauty of traditional photographic prints with the precision of digital imaging. Since then, he has continued to push the photographic envelope, melding his unique vision with mastery of both the wet and digital darkrooms.

Dan’s unique fine prints are valued by collectors worldwide. This exhibition features Platinum Prints, Pigment over Platinum Prints, Platinum/Palladium over 24k Gold Leaf on Vellum Prints, plus new Pigmented Ink Prints created with the iPhone.

VIEW THE FINE PRINTS FROM "DAN BURKHOLDER: PUSHING THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ENVELOPE."

Dan is author of the recently-published “iPhone Artistry” (Pixiq Press) and will be teaching two different iPhone Artistry workshops at Sun to Moon Gallery on February 22 and 25. According to Dan, "Lurking inside the iPhone is one of the most inspiring, capable and fun imaging systems in all of photography. More than just a snapshot device, the iPhone is a powerful creative tool for creating art, right in our palms." With an emphasis on crafting images with soul and intrigue, Dan keeps no secrets in this full day of learning. This is an opportunity to discover the power, fun, and stunning output that's possible from the iPhone!

Dan has taught classes and workshops at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the lnternational Center of Photography in New York, the University of Texas at San Antonio, the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego and others. He attended Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California, where he received his BA and Masters Degrees in Photography. Dan lives in Palenville, New York, with his wife, Jill Skupin Burkholder, and their three cats and one dog. Besides photography, he enjoys spending time with Jill, motorcyling, and exploring their new home in the Hudson River Valley.

Sun to Moon Gallery is proud to celebrate forty years of master photographer Alan Ross's working in the western landscape with a new exhibition. Alan has earned an international reputation as a specialist in the art of black-and-white photography - as an artist, educator and master printer.

A Matter of PERSPECTIVES

Fine Photographic Prints by
Scot Miller &
R.P. Washburne

October 18 – November 24, 2012

The Dallas skyline and Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge highlighted by spectacular fireworks presented in stunning panorama format. The mottled white of several birch tree trunks juxtaposed with spectacular, multi-colored fall foliage in the Maine Woods. A backlit sunflower proudly standing front and center in a French field. A lone white snag standing on the shore of a thriving forest, all mirror-reflected in a pristine High Sierra lake. The first rays of sunshine highlighting Spanish moss hanging from stately cyprus trees in Caddo Lake.

Photographers Scot Miller and R.P. Washburne bring their unique perspectives on these and other scenes from around the world to this new exhibition of fine photographic prints at Sun to Moon Gallery. This show includes new prints from both photographers from such diverse places as Dallas, Tuscany, the Ozarks and more, plus classic prints by both. We invite you to come and be inspired.

WILD LIGHT by Keith S. Walklet

An exhibition of fine photographic prints from the natural world

September 6 – October 13, 2012

.

Photographer/author
Keith S. Walklet from Boise, Idaho is well known for his fine color photographic prints of grand landscapes, especially of places like Yosemite and the American West and Southwest.

Keith photographs from places that most of us just dream about, favoring “lofty vantage points where the drama and personality of the landscape are revealed on a grand scale.” His appreciation for remote vistas often requires strenuous wilderness hikes and overnight stays at great elevations, where the oxygen is thin and the nights very cold, to ensure that he is in place to greet the first rays of the emerging dawn and the last, colorful moments as dusk gives way to the evening sky. The results are stunning.

Keith has been widely published and his fine prints are held in many collections

We invite you to come see Keith's fine prints of the natural world at Sun to Moon Gallery during the "Wild Light" exhibition.

Peter J. Blackburn, Amy Holmes George, Rachel Rushing,
Susan Sponsler & Loli Kantor

July 19 – August 18, 2012

Sun to Moon Gallery is proud to encourage and support the local photographic community and to present those who appreciate photography as art with unique opportunities to experience the wide range of styles and printing processes that make up photography today. This exhibition is unique in two ways; this is the first exhibition ever at Sun to Moon Gallery that has featured artwork by a group of photographers independent from the gallery and the diverse range of visions, processes and artistry in one show is exceptional.

As members of the North Texas Alternative Process Group, the photographers represented in this show are professional artists and educators in photography from the region with national and international exhibition records. These talented photographers meet monthly to exchange ideas and introduce new work, and to share a passion for practicing nontraditional image-making techniques, including historical processes dating back to the birth of photography as well as modern transfer methods and inkjet printing on fabric.

This exhibition showcases a diverse range of work that uniquely integrates contemporary subject matter and conceptual stimulus with unconventional or antique photographic methods, including Casein, Cyanotype, Encaustic, Gum Bichromate, Inkjet on Fabric, Palladium, Photographic Image Transfer, Wet Plate Collodion and Ziatype.

We invite you to come, and be inspired.

Color of Loss Redux

Limited Edition Pigment Ink Prints by Dan Burkholder. This is an encore presentation of engaging HDR prints from the groundbreaking book “The Color of Loss: An Intimate Portrait of New Orleans after Katrina,” published in 2008 by University of Texas Press. Sun to Moon Gallery has a limited number of signed copies of the book for sale.

In the book, Dan Burkholder presents a powerful new way of seeing the ravaged homes, churches, schools, and businesses of post-Katrina New Orleans. This book was groundbreaking in that it was the first book to make extensive use of an innovative digital photographic technology called high dynamic range (HDR) imaging, in which multiple exposures are artistically blended to bring out details in the shadows and highlights that would be hidden in conventional photographs. The resulting images are almost like paintings in their richness of color and profusion of detail. Far more intense and poetic than purely documentary photographs, Burkholder's images lure viewers to linger over the artifacts of people's lives—a child's red wagon abandoned in a mud-caked room, a molding picture of Jesus—to fully understand the havoc thrust upon the people of New Orleans.

The engaging Pigment Ink Prints from the book that will be on display
must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

"INDELIBLE IMPRESSIONS: Bromoil, Encaustic
& Pigmented Ink Prints by Jill Skupin Burkholder"

May 3 - June 9, 2012

VIEW a selection of images from "INDELIBLE IMPRESSIONS"

Jill Skupin Burkholder is best known for her work with age-old handcrafted techniques such as bromoil printing, an alternative photography process using brushes and lithography inks to create prints with beautiful impressionistic and textural looks, and encaustic print making, using pigmented beeswax and resin to enhance her photographic images. Jill is one of a very few photographers today working with these print-making processes. Her works are enchanting, engaging and highly collectible.

Jill will also be showing a selection of pigmented ink prints, including an engaging new series of conservation-oriented EDGE Animal Fine Prints that will be introduced for the first time at Sun to Moon Gallery. In this photographic series, fleeting animal portraits captured and sent out on an iPhone are altered and enlarged to make fine art prints, with partial proceeds benefiting the Zoological Society of London's EDGE of Existence Program. (SEE BELOW for additional information)

Jill teaches workshops throughout the world and will be teaching two workshops at Sun to Moon Gallery while in Dallas. She is married to fine art photographer Dan Burkholder and lives at the base of the Catskills in Palenville, New York. Make plans now to come see Jill and her fascinating fine prints on Saturday, May 5, from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Introducing Jill Skupin Burkholder’s
EDGE Animal Fine Print Series.

Partial proceeds benefit the EDGE of Existence Program

The blurry outline of an elephant’s feet, a rhino peeking from the side, an attentive jackal listening with every inch of his tall ears. I never know what images will appear on my iPhone through an app called Instant Wild. The app broadcasts low resolution snapshots from motion sensitive cameras placed in various remote wildlife locations, bringing an awareness that wild animals are thriving where conservation efforts are in place. The moment an animal triggers the device, a hazy but thrilling image is sent to all iPhones using the app, developed through the EDGE of Existence program.

The Zoological Society of London sponsors the innovative research and conservation initiative, designed to raise awareness and conserve the world’s most Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) species. Their invitation is clear. Every person can be involved to preserve all species, no matter the distance. In this photographic series, fleeting animal portraits are altered and enlarged to make fine art prints that retain the impromptu, spontaneous moment when an animal appears, living life and serendipitously granting us a glimpse of their tenacious survival. – J.S.B.

ABOUT
JILL SKUPIN BURKHOLDER

Jill Skupin Burkholder is best known for her work with age-old handcrafted techniques such as bromoil printing, an alternative photography process using brushes and lithography inks to create prints with beautiful impressionistic and textural looks, and encaustic techniques, using pigmented beeswax and resin to enhance her photographic images. Very few photographers today are working with these print-making processes.

In the bromoil process, a silver gelatin print is bleached with a special process removing the image. The artist then uses brushes and lithographic inks to restore the photograph, giving it the impressionistic and textural look unique to a bromoil. For the past several years, Jill has also been creating magical prints using the encaustic method, which goes as far back as the 5th century B.C., where color-pigmented beeswax is melted, applied to a surface and reheated to fuse the image into a smooth or textured finish. Her works are enchanting, engaging and highly collectible.

Jill’s prints have been exhibited at the FOTO&PHOTO photography festival in Milan, Italy, Garrison Art Center in New York, the Center for Photography at Woodstock exhibition at the R&F Gallery in Kingston, New York, the Texas Photographic Society’s traveling Alternative Processes Exhibition and in various publications. Her work is in the permanent collections at The Museum of Fine Art, Houston, Texas, and The Harry Ransom Humanities Center in Austin, Texas.

Jill has taught many workshops and will be teaching two workshops at Sun to Moon Gallery while in Dallas. She is married to fine art photographer Dan Burkholder and lives at the base of the Catskills in Palenville, New York.

Visual Meditations
fine black & white prints by
JEFFREY CONLEY

February 16 -
March 17, 2012

In December, as part of our 10th Anniversary Celebration, we announced Jeffrey Conley as our tenth photographer. Sun to Moon Gallery is proud to introduce this inaugural exhibition, featuring several fine prints from Conley’s monograph “Winter” plus others, including new images taken recently in New Zealand.

Originally from New York State, Jeffrey Conley received a BFA in Photographic Studies at Rochester Institute of Technology. In 1991 he moved to Yosemite National Park in California's majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains. There he photographed extensively and led seminars in photographic instruction at the Ansel Adams Gallery.

Now residing in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, Conley’s efforts center on his creative photography. His subject matter is diverse, from urban landscapes and the found still life, to studies of pristine wilderness. Scale and palette vary tremendously; from small, intimate, and subtle, to large, grand, and dramatic. In all, he strives to capture and liberate a meditative spirit that he feels can be found within so many subjects. He meticulously crafts each Gelatin Silver Print in the traditional darkroom to his high quality standards. Subtle aesthetic variation within printing decisions, in conjunction with processing and printing material variances makes each print a distinctly original creation.

"I was first introduced to Jeffrey Conley several years ago and was impressed by the quality of his work and his determination to pursue one of the most difficult of objectives: the creative life. I keenly watched his progress and the refinement of his craft. He is that rare species, an artist following in the tradition of the great American Landscape Photographers - Watkins, Haynes, O'Sullivan, Muybridge, Jackson, Adams - but one who also displays a distinctly original voice . . . You are witnessing the beginning of a career that will be long and fulfilling. Revel in the tranquility, balance, beauty and stillness this Pied Piper of silence leads us to."

DAN BURKHOLDER: Precious Metals & Pigments
September 8 – October 15, 2011

We are pleased to announce a new exhibition featuring modern-day photographic pioneer and master printer Dan Burkholder of Palenville, New York.

In the early 1990's, Dan's book Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing opened the door for legions of artists and photographers striving to combine the beauty of traditional photographic prints with the precision of digital imaging. And he has never looked back! Other printing techniques Dan has pioneered are Pigment over Platinum, combining handmade platinum prints with digitally applied archival color pigments, and Platinum/Palladium over Gold Leaf on Vellum prints.

DAN BURKHOLDER: PRECIOUS METALS & PIGMENTS

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:

Combining the old with the new has been a trademark of photographer and master printer Dan Burkholder for many years and, once again, he has taken his craft to a new level. For Dan, discovering a new way to combine historic photographic printing processes—like platinum/palladium—with yet another precious metal—gold leaf—has been nothing short of thrilling. His platinum/palladium over 24k gold leaf prints on acid-free vellum are unique in the world of works on paper and are stunning jewels to behold. The small 4” x 6” and 9” x 13” hand-made gold prints appeal to collectors and individuals alike. Dan will also be exhibiting a number of new Pigmented Ink Prints, some of which were created with the iPhone. Dan is author of the soon-to-be-published iPhone Artistry (Pixiq Press).

About Scot Miller
Scot Miller is a professional photographer whose work has appeared in numerous publications and books, including Walden: The 150th Anniversary Illustrated Edition of the American Classic, Cape Cod: Illustrated Edition of the American Classic, and First Light: Five Photographers Explore Yosemite’s Wilderness. He is currently Artist-in-Park at the Lyndon B. Johnson Historical Park (LBJ Ranch) and is working on a Maine Woods book. His fine art prints are included in many collections. Miller lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife, Marilyn, where they own and operate Sun to Moon Gallery, a fine art photography gallery.

About John Muir
JOHN MUIR (1838-1914) was a naturalist, environmental activist, and author of over a dozen books on nature and conservation. He founded the Sierra Club and is considered the father of the national parks.

About the Book
From the photographer who brought Thoreau’s Walden and Cape Cod to life comes a new work combining classic literature with brand-new photography. This time, Scot Miller takes on the seminal work of John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra. The book details Muir’s first extended trip to the Sierra Nevada in what is now Yosemite National Park, a landscape that entranced him immediately and had a profound effect on his life. The towering waterfalls, natural rock formations, and abundant plant and animal life helped Muir develop his views of the natural world, views that would eventually lead him to push for the creation of the national parks.

Timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the book’s original publication by Houghton Mifflin Company, My First Summer in the Sierra is illustrated with Miller’s stunning photographs, showcasing the dramatic landscape of the High Sierra plus John Muir’s illustrations from the original edition and several previously unpublished illustrations from his 1911 manuscript.

The foreword is by Dayton Duncan and Kens Burns, the award-winning filmmakers who collaborated on the PBS documentary “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.”

The book is published in collaboration with Yosemite Conservancy and, for each copy sold, Scot Miller is making a donation to Yosemite Conservancy.

Magical, Mystical, Masterful

Alluring alternative fine photographic prints

JILL SKUPIN BURKHOLDER

October 28 - December 4, 2010

Jill Skupin Burkholder is best known for her work with age-old handcrafted techniques such as bromoil printing, an alternative photography process using brushes and lithography inks to create prints with beautiful impressionistic and textural looks, and encaustic techniques, using pigmented beeswax and resin to enhance her photographic images. Very few photographers today are working with these print-making processes.

In the bromoil process, a silver gelatin print is bleached with a special process removing the image. The artist then uses brushes and lithographic inks to restore the photograph, giving it the impressionistic and textural look unique to a bromoil. For the past several years, Jill has also been creating magical prints using the encaustic method, which goes as far back as the 5th century B.C., where color-pigmented beeswax is melted, applied to a surface and reheated to fuse the image into a smooth or textured finish. Her works are enchanting, engaging and highly collectible. We invite you to come see this new exhibition and to meet Jill at the Opening Reception on Thursday, October 28.

OPENING RECEPTION WITH JILL SKUPIN BURKHOLDER
Thursday, October 28, 5-8 p.m.
