On its way to New York City!

Today I sent signed prints off to submit for a sort of unusual show in NYC. I’ve never graced any part of New York beyond the inside of JFK Airport, but my work seems to be crawling its way into the city by way of headshots slowly winding through comedy clubs and now potentially images of the art variety hanging in a gallery setting. Since I know several of you will be pestering me shortly asking what I sent, I figured I’d beat ya to it. :-)

I sent three, all of which you’ve seen before, but there’s one in particular I want to focus on tonight.

This image, Nowhere, New Mexico, has shown several times around the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex in black & white. In deciding to submit it for consideration to The Vanderbilt Republic, I chose to treat it in color. Which is what I intended when I shot it. While I’m at this, I’m going to give you a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes magic that happens (in the entirely too many hours I waste away) at my desk.

So… here’s the original shot, straight out of camera:

And here’s the b&w you might have caught hanging around town, maybe in the restroom at Lander’s Machine Shop last weekend, or perhaps a few months ago here on the blog:

Finally, here’s the version in transit to NYC–what I saw when I took it:
