LaLaLand

The summer of 1994 I spent in Los Angeles. I spent every waking moment taking photos of the people I encountered that summer all over the City. I shot with a 4 by 5 field camera: I think a Toyo. It was so much fun. I think the images are incredible and it is time to share them with the world! Right now I am making gorgeous "giclee" prints with my new Epson 3880 but they will be printed as Gelatin Silver Prints too soon. I am totally blown away by the quality of the "inkjet" prints. Wow. Enjoy

These are not yet on the main part of my site. But you can access them here: LaLaLand

Poor Rabbit

Here is another still life from the Milton series. This project is not yet completed as I will go back this Spring to finish it.

Milton Still Lifes

Seasons Greetings to you and your family!

This is an image from my Milton still life series. I shot the still lifes in both 4 by 5 chrome and digital. The 4 by 5 chromes will be very handy when it comes time to show the prints in a gallery. All the images are sort of "leftovers" as well. This image was made possible when my parents neighbor showed me the deer he shot with a bow and arrow. I borrowed the head from him before he boiled it to remove the flesh. I was referencing old Dutch still lifes at the time. As always it was stressful deciding what to include in the still life and what to leave out. I think I got it right after much deliberation. Oddly enough when I was researching other good photographic  still lifes, I could not find much that was pure fine art. There are a ton of "commercial" still life applications but not many solid fine art photographic still lifes. This new series is up and running on my website. Please check it out: Gregfriedler.com

In other news, I will have an article coming out on my Naked series in Exposure Magazine. This should be out early in 2010 and will certainly be good "exposure" for lack of a better word.

Also in the New Year, I will post my new assignment portfolio. I am working with an incredible consultant to re-brand my work for ad agencies, designers, and magazines. 

I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.

Lastly, remember that Stripped: Greg Friedler's Naked Las Vegas, a documentary by David Palmer, will begin airing in March 2010 on Showtime for 2 Years, yep 2 years! Stay tuned for additional details.

For Sale This Holiday Season

These two images are for sale for a short time only. You can get a signed, archival 11 by 17 inch inkjet print for only $225! Contact Greg for more info.

Commerce City

I went out to Commerce City on Friday night to a band jam session. They opened the garage door and this was what I found outside. It had snowed quite a bit that day. I shot a few different scenarios but this seems to be the best one!

Early Thanksgiving

I am working on a new set of "leftovers" imagery. My buddy Matt fixed us all an amazing Thanksgiving dinner three weeks before the actual event. These are the leftovers.

I am looking forward to hanging out with my parents over Thanksgiving and producing a new body of work in Milton, Mass. All images will be shot using my 4 by 5 camera. It is super fun to get back to film and large format!

I am very pleased to now be working with Paul Cava. Paul was Jock Sturges' first art dealer. You can see the work by going to: paulcava.com

Leftovers

I have been shooting "leftovers" for many years now and the project has changed over time. I now have two projects going: One is the "leftovers" of food and such and the other photos are still lifes of "leftovers" that are dead animals basically. I will work more on both of these here in Denver but also while I am home over Thanksgiving. Over Thanksgiving I will re-shoot the project called "Milton" named after the town where my parents reside in Massachussetts. Busy, busy, busy!

This has been a difficult project but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Today I shot a still life of "leftovers" from Mile Hi Stadium where the Broncos play. And what is really cool is that I shot the still life in the snow. Dont know if you people have heard but Colorado has received a ridiculous amount of snow. It has been snowing non-stop now for well over two days! So anyway I will share some more photos from "leftovers" as I shoot them.
