State Highway Two - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

Simply another slice of my (seemingly) endless road trip between Wellington and the Manawatu. I like to try to capture familiar things in a new light, to try to find beauty in the mundane and the mysterious in the mediocre. I think that is not only an artistic attribute -but also the best strategy for enduring the vicissitudes of life. The swings and barrows of outrageous fortune. The road is worth its weight... (My son Zachary actually took this one). When I was growing up you were always admonished "not to take pictures facing the sun" the reason being (fairly obviously) that the sun would overexpose the film. Now of course we have camera phones -and the lenses are more sophisticated -so you can shot the sun -and create a reasonably good image ~some of them are great. I'm not sure this is "great" but it does capture the rays of the sun, -and the "distortions"/refractions that they create. I like the idea that it transmits, like the "Z" that the door frame and the clouds from. "The ghost in the machine" ~which has more than one possible permutation. 1. We are "the ghost in the "machine" (~the planet, -and the galaxy being "cogs" within the universe) and 2. Artificial intelligence, controlling "the machine"/the internet. I'm most please about the fact that it captures the sun’s rays, "bursting into sun-spots" and the fact that we took it while we were traveling at around 100 mph. Zachary's got a remarkably still hand, good photographic skills! To me it speaks to the "unbearable lightness of being" I suppose that that is one of the powerful motivations in art: "to reassure ourselves that we exist" and to 'reach others" Computers have a secret language -and they have been talking to each other for years. ~I'll drive my own, thanks.

Chromoluxe Reproductions: (Limited edition of 10 only for any of my images). Chromoluxe means two things: Durability and Definition. This exclusive edition of 10 images will be created using the new Chromoluxe aluminum printing technique for high-quality large format art. The colors leap from the surface to produce vibrant melodious images. Your investment will retain its birth-date energy and integrity. You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall. You won’t need to make a separate payment for framing or worry about breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry (if you move to a new house). This print will be scratch-resistant, durable, and will retain the image’s vibrancy ~for a lifetime. This is 21st-century printing, high definition and literally, state-of-the-art. Very few places in the world can produce an image of this size, in this format. Not only will you have a collectible work of art, but it will be rendered in the cutting-edge format. Durable, appreciable, and gallery-quality. Side on, the print appears as a slip sheet of aluminum, from the front, the colors are glossy and intensely vivid. The panel has smoothed corners and looks sleek and elegant. (You can opt for a matte finish if you prefer). Your beautiful art will be carefully packaged in a custom-made box with plenty of protection for shipping. Shipping is tracked and signed for as standard. Takes approximately three weeks to get ready to ship. *(The estimated weight is based on Canvas Gallery Wrap 1.5" deep with 1 Layer of Resin). Shipping costs will vary with the material's weight, I will provide you with an accurate quote prior to your order.
