Art Bar - One Week Painting

I had the privilege to be a part of the Art Bar's one week painting series. This is the outcome. It is a piece about the personal sacrifice we all need to make to protect and preserve our environment... I feel it is very important for each of us to do what we can to preserve as much as we can for the future generation to follow us all. The one week painting is up for a week, and then the next artist paints over the top of the painting. At the end there are 52 paintings on one canvas, and the Art Bar has a show to display photographs of all 52 paintings.

This photo was also part of a test roll through my newest camera, a Canon EOS 3 loaded with expired Fuji Superia (02-2006). I like the camera very much, and I seem to still have my addiction to buying old film cameras. There is still something about film that I can't shake...

Here is another shot from the test roll:

Mandy and Rob

About a month ago a mutual friend of my wife and mine got married. I wanted to do something special for them as a wedding gift, so I shot their wedding for them. Here are a few of my favorite shots of the day:

CCP Brewed Cafe Show

Thank you to all who made it out to see our show at the Brewed Cafe. It was a lot of fun and I got to talk to a lot of new and old faces. If you didn't get a chance the show will be up for another week or so... So go check it out.

Here are a few photos from the night.

New Store Open

I have opened an online store that will feature 5 photographic prints and/or design posters. Each month 5 prints and/or posters will be available for purchase in a limited edition. Each print or poster will be signed and numbered in an edition size of about 200. The prints or posters will be available until the edition is sold out, or until the following month when new work will be available.

Introduction

Hello,

I have been meaning to start a blog for some time now, but never quite got around to it, until now. I hope to post relevant stuff here, some things may be about me and my life while others may just be cool things that I find in the world of Design, Photography and Art. Throughout you will most likely find a lot of images created by me.

If you end up seeing an image you like, most of them will be for sale, just give me a shout and I can get a print done for you. If you like some of the stuff you see here you might also check out my flickr site: http://flickr.com/photos/jake_rohde/
