8/3/2007: The City of Oakland is sponsoring a free, monthly shuttle for First Fridays Art Night. Hop on the shuttle to visit some of Oakland’s most popular arts venues on the first Fridays of each month, which is when Oakland Art Murmur occurs. You can also ride it to catch the “Glimpses in Time” opening at the Joyce Gordon Gallery (see above news item). [The shuttle ran for the scheduled few months.]

7/6/2007: This show was originally set to run through June but has been extended into September. Until then, you can see five of my prints on display on the Fourth Floor of Berkeley’s Martin Luther King, Jr., Civic Center Building (also known as City Hall) at 2180 Milvia Street.

See my original posting about this show.

6/2-3 & 9-10/2007: I’m especially excited this year to participate in Pro Arts’ East Bay Open Studios. One of my night photographs, “Slow Down,” was the image chosen by Pro Arts to promote the show! It’s on the cover of the Directory of East Bay Arts (the new, expanded color guide to the show and other things arts-related in the East Bay), postcards, posters, and East Bay Express ads. Look for copies of the Directory at galleries, cafes, and other venues.

The show takes place over two consecutive weekends and involves over 400 artists throughout the East Bay. Please stop by between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., say hello, and see my work.

5/18/2007-8/17/2007: As a preview for East Bay Open Studios, four artists—Sally Landis, Michael Cutlip, Bart Trickel, and I—were selected for an exhibition at Oakland International Airport. If you’re flying in or out of Oakland, look for our work in Terminal 1.

5/19/2007: To help highlight East Bay Open Studios, I’ll give a free talk about night photography at 4:00 p.m. at Elephant Pharmacy, 1607 Shattuck Ave (at Cedar St), Berkeley, California. I’ll tell you how I create my work, who else takes pictures at night and why many of them are in the Bay Area, answer questions, and give tips for how you can create your own enchanting images. So come on by!

3/16/2007: My work has been selected for a three-month exhibition at MobiTV, a high tech company in Emeryville. The exhibition itself is closed to the public but you can see my work, and that of the other three artists, at the free reception on March 16, 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. MobiTV is at 6425 Christie Avenue, Emeryville, on the fifth floor. It’s right off the Eastshore Freeway (I-80/580) at the Powell Exit. (You may want to come before 6:00, when the building’s doors get locked, so you won’t have to wait for someone to let you in).

We’ll enjoy good food, drinks, live music, and spectacular views of San Francisco and the Bay. One of the other artists in the show, Zach Pine, will encourage employees to create nature sculptures. And all of the artists will give short talks about their work. Come on out and join the fun!

1/27/2007-3/11/2007: My image “Fairy Tale Benches” was selected to be included in this year’s Juried Annual exhibition at Pro Arts. I’m excited to have been included in the show. Only 52 pieces were chosen from among nearly 1000 entries.

The juror was Berin Golonu, Associate Visual Arts Curator, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco.

February 1st (Thursday), 6pm-8pm: A reception will be held on Thursday evening at Pro Arts. Food and drink will be provided. The receptions are fun—come mingle!

February 24th (Saturday), 1pm: Please join me for a special event at Pro Arts. I’ll be speaking about my art. Many of the other artists represented in the show will also speak. This is an ideal opportunity to see the show, meet the artists, and hear how we were inspired to create our work. Questions from the audience are encouraged!

I also have prints for sale in the Pro Arts Gallery Store.

Pro Arts is located at 550 2nd St, Oakland, CA 94607, at Jack London Square.

11/25/2006-12/17/2006: I’ll again be participating in this year’s Berkeley Artisans Holiday Open Studios. The last weekend in November and the first three weekends in December, I’ll be hosting visitors at my studio in West Berkeley. Contact me for directions. It’s easy to find parking on the street and there are other studios nearby.

For the first time, I’ll have four 24"x30", limited edition prints on display, plus an assortment of smaller prints. This is a great opportunity to shop for everyone on your “nice” list. And maybe an opportunity to forgive those who aren’t. Happy holidays, and hope to see you soon!

11/16/2006-12/23/2006: Transmissions Gallery, at 1177 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley (a bit north of Gilman Street), and convenient to the freeway, is holding its first annual holiday sale and exhibition through Christmas Eve.

Be sure to come to the opening reception on Thursday, November 16th, 5-9pm. There will be fun, refreshments, cool people to talk to, eleven of my prints, and many pieces from other artists, so stop by, have a look and say hello.

10/21/2006 & 10/22/2006: I’m happy to be included again in this year’s Studio Nocturne, an exhibition of work by thirteen night photographers, part of San Francisco Open Studios.

The show will be held in Building “A” at Fort Mason in San Francisco, where many other artists also will be exhibiting. Here are directions to Fort Mason. Hours are 11am-6pm. It was a fun show last year and promises to be just as good this year, so come on out, say hello, and show your support for the arts!

9/12/2006-1/28/2007: Several of my fellow night photographers in the Nocturnes collective are participating in this San Francisco Open Studios preview exhibition. For the fourth time, members of the Nocturnes will be showing our work at Fort Mason on weekend three of Open Studios. Details to follow. Meantime, enjoy this preview at Embarcadero 3, lobby level.

8/11/2006-9/7/2006: This show collects the work of several of my fellow night photographers. Have a peek at the show.

This is the first I’ve exhibited in the South Bay, so hey, South Bay people, if you haven’t made it up to San Franciso or (gasp!) the East Bay lately, now’s your chance to see some night photography close to home. San Mateo’s City Hall is at 330 West 20th Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94403 and is open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.

7/28/2006-8/20/2006 (reception: 7/28): At the risk of repeating myself, my work was selected by jury to be included in another show! This one is a preview exhibition for San Francisco Open Studios, which takes place in October (when I’ll be exhibiting with other night photographers again at Fort Mason). For this preview show, only ten artists were chosen out of the 35 who submitted work. I’ll have two new, large prints there, of “Eternal” and “Large Boat Winch.” Canvas Gallery is a very popular spot, and it’ll be a good place to expose my work to a new audience.

Canvas Gallery is in the Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco, at 1200 9th Avenue (at Lincoln), across the street from Golden Gate Park.

A reception will be held on Friday night, July 28th, 8pm-2am at Canvas, which also has a cafe and lounge. A French DJ will be playing world lounge music. It’s a fun place to hang out so I hope you’ll join me.

7/18/2006-9/3/2006 (reception: 7/20): My image “Large Boat Winch” was selected by a jury to be included in this year’s New Visions exhibition at Pro Arts. I’m excited to have been included in the show, which is an annual exhibition of work from among Pro Art’s members. Only 30 pieces were chosen from among several hundred entries.

The jurors were Dennis O’Leary, Executive Director of the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, and Gary Sangster, Executive Director of the Headlands Center for the Arts.

A reception will be held on Thursday evening, July 20th, 6pm-8pm at Pro Arts. C’mon out and mingle!

6/26/2006-8/18/2006 (reception: 7/5): I’m very happy to announce my first solo show, to be held at the Fort Mason Foundation Lobby, Building A, next door to the SFMOMA Artist Gallery. I’ll have prints you’ve probably never seen even if you’ve attended past shows, the lobby is open daily, and admission is free. Here are directions to Fort Mason.

A reception will be held on Wednesday, July 5th, 5:30-7:00pm. Meet me and enjoy light refreshments while chatting with other art lovers, and taking in the night photos. The SFMOMA Artist Gallery will also be holding a reception at that time, so feel free to see both shows. Admission is free.

Attending Photo San Francisco at Fort Mason July 21st-23rd? Take a short walk to Building A and take in my After Dark exhibit. I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday, 3pm-7pm. See my ad in the Photo San Francisco catalog.

6/21/2006-6/30/2007 [now extended into September]: All five of the images I submitted were selected for inclusion in this show. For the next year, they will be on display on the Fourth Floor of Berkeley’s Martin Luther King, Jr., Civic Center Building (also known as City Hall) at 2180 Milvia Street.

A reception will be held on Thursday, September 28th, 2006, 3pm-5pm, in the Civic Center’s Outer Courtyard. Opening remarks will be made by Berkeley’s Mayor, City Manager, and City Councilmembers. The Crowden Music Center Quartet will provide music. A tour of the exhibition will be led at 4:00 by Robbin Henderson, Executive Director of the Berkeley Art Center, and Archana Horsting of Kala Institute, who together helped coordinate the show.

6/3, 4, 10/2006: I’m excited to again participate in Pro Arts’ East Bay Open Studios, which takes place over two consecutive weekends and involves over 400 artists. I’ll have new work on display, so please stop by between 11am and 6pm, say hello, and see my work. I’m told it looks much better in person than on the web.

6/2006: I’m proud to say that my “Bench and Poles” image was selected from among many to represent and help promote the East Bay Open Studios in Diablo magazine this month. As you may know, Diablo is the magazine of the East Bay (a region east of San Francisco). The exposure puts my work in front of thousands more art lovers in the region. Click on the thumbnail image for a larger view of the page.

2/18/2006-5/13/2006: The brand new Transmissions Gallery, at 1177 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley (between Gilman Street and Marin Avenue), convenient to the freeway, is exhibiting my night photography. Be sure to come to their grand opening party on Saturday, February 18th. It’ll be a lot of fun—live music by Rondo Brothers, refreshments, and cool people to talk to. My work will be there for an undetermined time, so please go take a look.

1/18/2006-2/25/2006: For the first time, I have an entry in the Annual Members’ Showcase at the Berkeley Art Center. The work is shown salon style and promises to vary in media, style, and almost every other attribute you can think of. It’ll be worth a look.

Late note: My “Overpass 1” image won me an Honorable Mention! (The only other award type granted is Finalist.) Hmm, does this make me an award-winning artist . . . ?

1/2006: I’m flattered to have been chosen to be the Featured Artist at the Pro Arts Gallery store for the month of January. Thirty-five of my pieces will be on exhibit and for sale.

This is a great opportunity to shop for everyone on your “nice” list. And come see my 24"x30" print of “Bench and Poles.”

10/15/2005-10/16/2005: I’m very pleased to be included in this year’s Studio Nocturne, an exhibition of work by thirteen night photographers.

The show will be held in Building “A” at Fort Mason in San Francisco, where many other artists also will be exhibiting. It promises to be an first-rate show, so come out, say hello, and show your support for the arts!

Fort Mason Foundation liked my work so much, they chose to reprint “Overpass 1” in their monthly calendar of upcoming events. They’ve also offered me a solo show next July.

10/2005: 7x7 magazine, which covers the San Francisco lifestyle, chose my “Clubbing” image as one of only ten for their “Bring on the Night” photo competition. The finalists’ images were printed in this month’s issue.

7/8/2005- (ongoing): Several of my night images have been chosen for the Pro Arts Gallery store, at 550 2nd St, Oakland, CA 94607.

But hurry, the prints will be on display for only a limited time.

6/15/2005– (ongoing): I’m very pleased that my night image “Double Garage” was chosen by jurors from among many entries to be one of the twenty in this month’s online exhibition.

6/4, 5, 11, 12/2005: I’m excited to again participate in Pro Arts’ East Bay Open Studios, which takes place over two consecutive weekends and involves up to 500 East Bay artists. Please stop by to see my work in person, much bigger and in more detail than you can on your screen.

This time, I’ll be exhibiting at the south end of the historic Sawtooth Building; in Berkeley, at 933 Parker St, Berkeley, CA 94710 (cross street: Eighth). My work will be at Studio Rasa, a beautiful yoga studio and community arts space.

5/15/2005: This online exhibition reveals some of the influences of many of us Bay Area night photographers. One of my photos is featured on the intro page.

5/3/2005: Come see a print of my new Potrero Hill image “Farley’s After Close,” plus lots more night photography of the Potrero Hill neighborhood by 15 other artists, in a show entitled “A Night on the Hill.” The show is at Farley’s Cafe at 1315 - 18th Street in the Potrero Hill neighborhood, and runs only through the end of the month. So hurry!

It’s a good opportunity to enjoy a cup of coffee and a pastry in a rooted neighborhood cafe and also acquire a unique perspective on this established yet up-and-coming neighborhood.
