abstract – Hockley Photography

Getting Abstract and Physical

As we wrap up 2011 and move into the new year, one area I’ll be expanding business is into the realm of fine art, attempting to do some offline sharing of work that has for the most part existed only in electronic form. I have a lot of fun creating abstract photo art, and I think this will be the first area I tackle in seriously offering my work for sale in a tangible form.

I’m currently evaluating options for what I will offer. Large prints? Canvas? Metal? If you have any specific thoughts about what sort of form you’d be interested in seeing artwork, I’d love to hear from you either with a comment or by sending me an email.

Favorite Five from 2008

This time of year it seems that everyone is compiling their “Best of 2008″ lists, so I figured I’d jump onto the bandwagon and offer up five of my favorite photos from 2008, presented in no particular order. I’ve got one more coming in a followup post.

Full House – this was Ignite Portland 2, the first of three Ignite events I photographed this year. I’ve really enjoyed capturing various Portland events in photos as well as all of the amazing people that have brought together a vibrant group of communities around the Portland tech scene.

Into the Wild Red Yonder – taken at a Flickr meetup at Pittock Mansion, there was a great sunrise and fortunately there was some air traffic taking off to the east.

Another World – a photo taken at the Oregon Convention Center of some light reflecting against a stainless steel escalator wall. This represents a good example of some of the fine art photos that I take while wandering through everyday life.

Crystal – I wanted to build up my portfolio and talked to an acquaintance about a photoshoot… she agreed and it was a fun afternoon wandering northwest Portland resulting in a bunch of great images.

Empty Transit – taken on a day of railfanning with a buddy, I like the various converging lines and the emptiness seen at the Sunset Transit Center.

Were these my “best” photos? I don’t know. Who defines best? They’re a good cross-section of my photography this year. I didn’t include some portrait work that was hard to rate, but here’s to a happy new year and a 2009 full of good photo opportunities.
