I’m delighted that Sigma included me in their exhibition for PhotoPlus Expo 2009. I was asked along with Chip Forelli, Paula Lerner, and Stephen Mallon to make pictures with a Sigma DP2 for a few weeks - the only request being "make something awe-inspiring"... no pressure in that, right? I have photographed with the same camera for almost 10 years, a Hasselblad 501CM and though I almost always work in black in white, I like to play with color.
Saul Leiter and Jeff Brouws just kill me with inspiration.

After reading about the philosophy behind the DP2 I thought this would be a meaningful challenge and was honestly not disappointed. I believe the camera has a beautiful response to light and liked the rendering and palette so much I decided to make color images for the show - a loose triptych that echoes a celestial feel. I’m looking forward to sharing the photographs, they were a joy to make. I hope you find them playful and unexpected.

Magnífico blog, preciosas fotografias, un saludo.-
I sent a friend a link to your blog, she said it was like a wonderful photography book. I have to agree and I'm looking forward to the next installment.
These are really wonderfully shot pictures!

This Blog is better than a Book, because a book is frozen in time and it's subject. This keeps changing. The selection is astute and challenging. so many gifted photographers, so many tones and atmospheres.
Fantastic. Everything so fluid here.
