The 9th National Alternative Process Competition exhibit opens today at the SohoPhoto Gallery in New York City, and three of my images were chosen for inclusion.

Brian, tri-color gum print, 2013

Since this was my first public entry into the world of fine art photography and alternative process printing, I will admit I was fairly pleased with myself.

Jill Enfield, the juror, selected a ziatype of some windowpanes in the building of the former KGB headquarters in Vilnius, Lithuania, a tintype of my friend Emily and her daughter Lola, and, perhaps most gratifying, a tri-color gum portrait of my friend/colleague Brian, which I had originally captured on my iPad, processed on the iPad with the Snapseed app, then printed in gum in the wet lab.
