Fine Art Photography in Dubai

If you’ve tuned into my Facebook or Twitter recently, you’ll know I’m finally back in the saddle, stateside, after a couple of fun and productive weeks in Dubai, UAE. I made my way to the Middle East’s skyscraper mecca for a number of reasons, one of which–I’m proud and excited to share–was my first official fine-art gallery show.

Having been uber-busy heading into the planning of this thingie, I went into it with low expectations–maybe even reservations–only to have them smashed to tiny little pieces. And for that I have many thanks: to the elegant curator, Elie Domit, who pulled together the group show–appropriately titled Kaleidoscope–as well as my fellow show mates Asim, Drew, Joe, and Vince, all of whom I adore. Also, I owe deep gratitude to the master planner, Mohammed Somji, and his right hand lady, Hala, who made all this happen. The two of them had been so very unassuming about the arrangements they had secured for the show…just a sort of “cool new gallery” they’d said. Just so happens that the gallery is the swanky, new, and architecturally stunning space called The Empty Quarter gallery nestled in the Gate Village area of Dubai’s DIFC neighborhood.

But, as perfectly fitting as it is, the biggest thanks I owe is actually to you. If it weren’t for so many of you encouraging my b+w New Zealand landscape series (some of you from way back from the first time I showed any of these images back at Photoshelter Keynote in NYC), this multi-year project that literally started out as scouting photos for commercial jobs, would likely never had left the ground as a legit fine art project, and certainly wouldn’t be hanging in Dubai. I’m so NOT a classic landscape shooter and had really just been privately moonlighting as one in order to push myself beyond my comfort zone…but all the notes of encouragement you sent my way really made me take it more seriously. And for that, I’m grateful. Thank you thank you thank you.

What’s starting as a trickle here with this fine art kick off, will hopefully be a firehose of more progressive material in the not too distant future.

If you happen to be passing through Dubai (do people do that?), the show hangs until April 15. All prints at TEQ are limited editions of 45 and are 16X24” on archival inkjet. You can see the entire series here (I’d love your feedback), and can ping the studio in Seattle if you’re interested in pricing or alternate sizes.

    If you have started to play poker before 2007 you did not need to put much effort in it to be successful because the competition was weak, but today there are many decent players who will not give you their money so easily.
    Does it have to stop, or are we witnessing the birth of a new fixture on the high-stakes scene.
    On the other hand, if you limp and the flop is a really draw
    heavy flop, you want to proceed cautiously before going all in. Gambling has traveled a long way from the land based casinos and gaming
    venues that people trooped in every weekend. Preferably someone who has poker tables,
    poker chips, poker software or timer, and everything else you’ll need to shuffle up
    and deal.

    When someone writes an article he/she retains the image of a user in his/her mind that how a user can understand it.
    So that’s why this piece of writing is amazing. Thanks!

    It makes it the first choice with the users as well
    as the most wanted and comfortable P2P torrent engine
    ever made in the world. Your core operating-system should always be an authentic, fully functional
    version. OR that China counts more than 34 percent of all current
    torrent connections to The Pirate Bay.

    The backend part of your company supports these profit centers.

    The says of free proxies and tunnelling services are over, and as the Chinese government begins to tighten its grip on what comes in and out of the country informationally speaking, the need for a vpn to bypass
    internet censorship in China grows every day. It’s probably some mix of the two, so I have to give him props for not going too far in either direction.
