Organic Light Pan

No More Words

I just wanted to remind everyone of the Fall Photo Sale that is going on right now. Due to the inability of bringing the photos to the public on a weekly basis at an art show, exhibit or other market place, I have set up an online gallery where the current inventory can be viewed and purchased for Immediate Delivery!

In addition, The prices in this sale are the same as those at any venue where the photos can be purchased in person.  What this means is that you are getting a discounted price – discounts range from 5% for the larger pieces all the way up to nearly 20% for the smaller pieces.  That is a substantial savings from the normal website prices.  But these prices won’t be available for ever on this site.  So don’t miss this opportunity to get some Organic Light into you life TODAY!

Autumn Meadow In Yosemite Valley

This Autumn and for the near future it will be difficult to exhibit at local art shows and markets due to not having a vehicle to pull the trailer that is used to transport the show equipment to the various locations.  To this end, I have set up an online gallery of all the photos that I have in my current inventory that would normally be seen at an art show. 

The prices in this gallery reflect those obtainable at an exhibit or art show which have always been lower than the website price.  They are also immediately deliverable with a wait time of only 3-5 days rather than the typical 1-2 week delivery time with a regular website purchase for an on-demand print job.  I will be uploading more photos in coming days as I have much more inventory and availability of current inventory will be reduced as sales occur.

To view the gallery Click on This Highlighted Link or on the Autumn Photo Sale link in the Right Sidebar.  I have also listed the last scheduled workshop for this year, Maples and Redwoods, October 23 – 26 as well as private photography instruction or photo tour. 

If there is an image that you particularly enjoy that you do not see in the sale gallery, or the image you like is not immediately available in the size you desire, then please visit the Organic Light Photography Website Gallery Page and place your order there and I will be more than happy to custom print, mat and send it to you.

I truly appreciate your consideration in helping keep Organic Light Photography a viable source of beauty and inspiration to all and the source of  livelihood for me and my family.

I Sincerely Thank You.

Ramadan Mubarak to all!  This evening August 21st, 2009 at 8:06 pm PDT the new crescent moon of Ramadan 1430, was sighted by a group of over 30 men and women, not counting the numerous children as well at Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve, just west of Palo Alto, CA in the Santa Cruz Mountains.  We had clear skies with some dark thick marine layer atmospherics close to the horizon.  It was a fine crescent that was about 3.5 degrees in altitude above the horizon and at a true azimuth of 265 degrees.

The group of sighters started out at about 20 people and over the next 15 minutes it grew to well over 35 people.  As the evening progressed everyone became quite joyful that the Blessed Month of Ramadan was upon us.  As the moon approached the horizon, we packed up and headed off into the night with the intention of commencing our Fast for the next 29 or 30 days, until we see the next new moon.  So Congratulations to all for having another opportunity to benefit from Ramadan.  May all your prayers and fasting be accepted this month.

Six new photos have been released on the Organic Light Photography website. 

The website has also been updated with a new feature that allows you to see the photos super-sized!  Just click on the “details” button below each individual photo in the gallery pages to see them BIG!  The feature is not available for every photo on the website but over time more and more photos will get updated.  The detail of Large Format film is astounding and can only be appreciated in large images.  The photos are even better in person as 16 x 20 inch enlargements or bigger.  Visit an upcoming show to see them.
