Photography

What follows are three collections of photographs taken during my travels both in the States and abroad.  The source of some of the images is 35 mm film, my camera of choice through the '80s and '90s a Leica M7 Rangefinder with a variety of Leica lenses.  Those images have been scanned and processed digitally.  More recent images are sourced in Canon's remarkable 5D and processed similarly.

First is a series of unusual but - I hope - artistically interesting jazz photographs, culled from my visits to jazz festivals and jazz clubs, and from the presence in my studio of many musicians who had come for a recording session and who were willing to be photographed.  

The second series is international in subject-matter and displays my abiding fascination with black and white "street photography" pioneered by such photographic greats as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Andre Kertesz, Bernice Abbott and Robert Doisneau.  

The third series is also largely international but with the color perspective added.

Each of the photographs is available for purchase in three sizes - 8 1/2 X 10, 11 X 14, and 16 X 20.   These sizes denote the mat size; the actual images sizes are (roughly) 3 3/4 X 5 3/4, 6 X 9, and 9 X 12, respectively.  Each photo is double matted (Bainbridge, cream color, acid-free core and backing paper), sealed in a Polybag and shipped in a sturdy cardboard mailer.

Special sizings and mattings may be arranged by contacting me

"Ed's photographs - whether scenic or people-based - are both stunning and subtle.  Each image seems a frame lifted from some complex narrative whose origin and outcome we are invited to infer.  His visual stories are reminiscent of the best 'street' photographs of Doisneau, Atget, Kertesz and Cartier-Bresson."
