If the SO has pics of any of his stuff on line, please send them to me
via e mail attachment. Congrats to him today on his one man show. I
know it's a huge amount of work to put together something like that.
Wish I could be there.

Hey Audrey
I can get him to put some online. I think we have them on disk. .. some are
majorly abstract digitals where real life things/people are integrated in
such a way as to be highly fantastical
eg,
a sepia toned nun in traditional religious garb standing on clouds inside a
house that has several windows and in each of these windows is a different
viewone is of a lunar landscape (up close and personal) another is of a
natural landscape with water.. and the room that she's "floating" in is very
Victorian almost baroque in details with lots of ornate details at the
ceiling with a hanging lamp.
it's from a turn of the 20th century house (think vintage 1890s or early
1900) that was in downtown Long Beach that was literally cut in half and
moved to a new location. It sat there for 60 years and didn't even have
normal electricity with conduits running outside of the walls. The house was
up for historical designation till someone bought it and didn't keep it true
to the Victorian styling of the house. while the house was for sale, we were
both able to get inside and shoot photos of it. Mine are still waiting to be
dealt with.. his were used immediately for a before photoshop and digital
merging (took 50 hours + to do one photo)
and eventually when PS came out, he was one of the first ever instructors of
the digital photography.
His work hangs in a number of museums across the country and even has toured
internationally. He was artist of the year for a French Art Institute (a
national one I think)
We didn't know that he had won or that he/we were invited to the reception
till 3 weeks before the event. Long story there .. but we weren't able to
get there. sigh.. Paris, France, and not able to go.
bleh.
but his work is stunning.. His normal photographic work is fab too.
;) It's a 40 print show and it's there all summer till August.
