Three Photos will be on exhibit and available for sale at the City Streets Exhibition at Studio 333, Sausalito, CA October 25 - December 6, 2007
Burnt Offerings #1 - From Burnt Offerings the photographic series consisting of ten images of the devastating results after an explosion that rocked downtown Dallas on July 25, 2007, in an acetylene and propane warehouse. In the distance: the famous Reunion Tower.
Phase to Grey - series pending. With a history and reputation for competing with Houston to attract visitors to stay in a beautiful, safe, and interesting downtown area, Dallas makes room for new buildings and upgrades existing ones. This photo: Demolition on the corner of Commerce and S. St. Paul Street, across from the infamous Dallas Grand Hotel which has been vacant and in a serious state of disrepair for many years, now planned to also receive extensive renovations.
True Colors #63 - The original photo of one of the digitally manipulated images in the True Colors website series. This photo: A cow wanders the streets of San Antonio, Mexico. Nonchalantly meandering through the neighborhood, tether rope dragging on the road beside her, it’s as if this cow has simply left for a short walk and no one, even the owner, ought to worry about her finding her way home.
All photographs printed on 11 x 17 100 lb. Satin finish cardstock high quality photographs are one of a kind, signed, most with white mat and a 3″ wide black frame. Please contact nikki_coulombe@hotmail.com for details about this or any Artwork you wish to purchase. (thanks!)
Rude Awakening
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007
Three quaint old apartment buildings on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton were demolished to make way for a large condominium complex — a shame, considering all the new windows that were just replaced a few years ago. To remove them beforehand would not be financially viable for the new builder. (more…)
City Mountains
Monday, August 27th, 2007
“City Mountains” in Irving, Texas. There’s a hill in Irving that looks down onto the metroplex and you can see for miles. I always think “City mountains” whenever I see the miles of grey-black rooftops in the foreground and going off into the distance. With power poles and signs in the way, photos are not quite capturing what I see..this one is cropped. Next time I’m back that way I’ll try again..
True Colors photo- exhibition acceptance
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007
One of the photographs from the series True Colors is accepted into the exhibition Visual Rhythms / Ritmos Visuales, [an all-media juried exhibition that embraces the flavors and rhythms of Latin American influenced art and cultures] at the Target Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia, scheduled July 28 - September 3, 2007.
The storefront photo was taken in Guadalajara, Mexico. Beyond the clutter of typical-style pottery and items for sale, a child in a high-chair peeks out from behind a shelving unit The chair in front of the child indicates that someone, probably Mom - no doubt also the store-owner- was there a few moments before, feeding him or her. Two dogs and some pigeons scan the floor for leftovers. The room has a courtyard open to the sky, typical of the area, and there are more pigeons up on the window ledge on the back wall. Available, white mat, black frame 23 x 27 inches.
Please visit the trucolors.info website for more photographs taken in Mexico - my creative tribute.
