And again! Another zine coming soon: 18x24

This is a book that collects the multiframe pictures I have made with my favorite walking companion: the 1/2 frame camera. I have a number of these machines that make 18mm x 24mm images on 35 millimeter film, two pictures in the space of one single 35mm picture.

45 b&w photographs, 60 pages, perfect bound. 8.8 x 415 inches; landscape format

UN_social_media_8b (1).gif

This Saturday April 11 was to be the annual RISD Unbound Art Book Fair but you know what has intervened. I was very much looking forward to participating (would’ve been my first time as an exhibitor) but we are RISD and we are flexible so the Unbound team has created a virtual marketplace that will open tomorrow instead.

Please stop by and check it out, support artists with a purchase if you can, friendly words are always appreciated and especially now. Unbound.risd.edu

In honor of this I have lots of new things for sale in my bookstore and starting tomorrow if use the code “unbound” at checkout you will get a special discount.

Come by and say hello! Follow #risdunbound2020 on the socials.

Be safe.

New work: Conanicus' Bow @ AS220 Project Space



Opening on Saturday February 1st. Providence in Silver: photographs by John Nanian, Warren Eve, Paul Shelasky and Erik Gould  @AS220 Project Space, Providence RI.

I'm very excited to be part of this group show and to show some new work. 40 photographs with text and audio.

I relate my experience in photographs, words and field audio.









"Even under the open sky it is difficult to see and to get to, well guarded by a thicket of trees and vines and exit ramps. There's water there? Hiding in plain sight until comes a rainy spring and with great flood announces to the unlucky that although it may be your house or workshop YES indeed: a river flows (temporarily) through it..."
Available as a book on Blurb:
