bonded together by our love of photography as a way of life. It’s

“I will have two related bodies of work in the show: one
platinum/palladium and one mixed media. Both use letters from the
1920’s from a bank clerk named George to his girlfriend Edna. The
letters trace their relationship from its beginning to their
marriage in 1932. In the photo series I use photos of my imagined
Ednas
to respond to excerpts from the letters that I believe she might
have singled out. In the mixed media, I use the actual letters.
Edna was a modern woman. She smoked and wore make-up (which George
worries about telling his mother), she loved to dance, she voiced
her romantic expectations, she wanted a career. There is nothing
momentous about their story – one of the reasons I found it so
compelling."
Carnochan in LensWork and LensWork Extended #110Natural
Beauty
“I have printed these photographs with one of the oldest
photographic materials – platinum – for its extravagantly long
tonal range, depth, and permanence. My subject matter, as always,
comes mostly from my own garden.”

ExhibitionTrees of the AegeanDates: April 21 – May 14, 2016
Peter Miller Fine Art Gallery - Providence, Rhode Island
Most trees have character, olive trees manifest the most visible
and varied character of them all. Considered by many as eternal
trees, they live centuries, even beyond millennia. Camel Ekin has
captured the character and personality of the olive trees of
Ayvalik, Turkey and created stunning “portraits,” capturing the
spirit residing within. In his series of images, Ekin displays the
uniqueness of the trees’ rotational growth into twisted shapes of
trunks; the light show of leaves with a dark green side and a
shimmering silvery side; and of course, the aged dignity they seem
to preserve even after severe pruning. The “Trees of the Aegean”
are like monuments, a gift to us in many ways by nature.
In this portfolio, Ekin explores the Earth in infrared: “What I
see is not what the camera records. While the camera is a tool for
me, I am a tool for the camera. The result of this symbiotic
relationship is my photography. I call them ‘Earthscapes’ as they
are too grand to be landscapes: results at once awe-inspiring and
yet abstract; amazing detail, yet anonymous.”

Creek Ranch, Kaycee, Wyoming
These workshop are open to all skill levels, from beginner to
advanced. Emphasis is on seeing, developing a point of view, and
gaining an appreciation and knowledge of light.
This country has some of the most beautiful landscape in
Wyoming, including a 70-mile wall of red sandstone that hosts the
actual hole-in-the-wall, where Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch
once used to hide their stolen cattle.

“I wanted to see as much of Cuba as I could and knew that it
wouldn’t be possible to get an in-depth look at the country and its
people in such a short period of time; that would have been
unrealistic and frustrating. Instead, I did what I always do, I
walked and wandered, sat and observed, and had wonderful
conversations with people, often without speaking a word.”

Blog Post
“Peabody Essex Museum requested that I write a blog post to
coincide with some of my work supplementing the Exhibit of the
painter Childe Hassam.“
http://connected.pem.org/alone-on-an-island/
“With these images I honor the wildlife, the grasses and
seaweed, the wind-torn bushes, low trees, the rocks and the sea.
For these are the real, long-term denizens of this place. We come
and go like brief storms, but they remain. Creating photographs is
a way to briefly engage with all that is here; to feel a small
part of this interdependent and self-sustaining natural community –
the sea and rocky islands on which I live.”

As of issue #119, LensWork (magazine) now publishes both color
and black-and-white work.
We always enjoy the opportunity to look at new work. In fact,
about half of what we’ve published in LensWork and LensWork
Extended comes from submissions that were originally unsolicited,
that is to say, from readers and subscribers like you. We love
giving exposure to photographers who are doing good work but are
not plugged-in to the publicity machines that galleries and
traditional publishers provide!
Our submission guidelines are available in the link below. (You
will need Adobe Acrobat Reader version 9 or greater to open this
file.) Please review these submis-sion guidelines and then feel
free to send in your work for consideration.
Obviously, we can’t publish everything that is submitted, but we
also can’t publish work that isn’t ever submitted! The best way to
start is to send in the work and let us take a look. Thanks!
Note: As of August 2015, we no longer accept physical
submissions (on disc, thumbdrive, or prints). Submissions are
accepted only via digital delivery like Dropbox, Hightail,
DropSend, WeTransfer, etc.
