Some Oldies

Im using this space for a little commerce this week, Im throwing up some old images that someone is interested purchasing.

Unapologetic Black and White Printing

I took this picture in the end of October and just finished getting it ready to print (Damn life getting in the way of post-production). But I'm posting it to further comment on my last post. I do feel that my level of printing does sometimes get in the way of the content of my images, but I mainly have this feeling in regards to colour images. I feel that in black and white the medium itself is so evident, that you aren't doing the work a disservice by printing the hell out of it. Just my opinion on the matter.
If you are interested in seeing this image in print (The purist in me says "the only way to truly judge a photograph") I believe I will be bringing it over to La Petite Mort Gallery in the next week.
In other news I'm stoked to see the "MOTHER GOOSE" exhibition at The Dale Smith Gallery Jonathan Hobin's first Solo Show in Ottawa. Here is the opening info for anyone else who wants to check it out

Do I go to far?

I've decided to post this personal series in hopes of getting some perspective on images that are very close to my heart and a style of post-production that has been integral to my practice. I am trying to find an aesthetic that has a look I can be happy with, but doesn't detract from the honesty of my content. So I put it put to my friends and peers, am I walking that fine line or am I still going too far? I have included the third piece in this, raw, straight from the scanner, by way of comparison.
I look forward to reading your feedback.
