Well, seeing that my latest work has been all about sending off proposals and submissions, I’ve decided to just make a dedicated page for just those sorts of things, complete with all the boring details, rather than “waste” a blog entry on it. So, from no on, without much fanfare, you can see all my failed attempts at fame and glory on my Proposals and Submissions page. I also added a link to my previous posted submissions to CPW and the West Collection, but that’s as far back as I’m going. I’m finally getting ready to exhibit my “Monitor” piece, or “Monitor Landscape” as I’m now calling it as an installation, but as usual, I’m on to bigger and better things even before I’ve finished the last thing – my new favorite obsession is the “Doomsday Hourglass” installation – I hope I get an opportunity to build it – I’ve been haunted by the flashing “12:00″ LED display for about 4 years now, and I finally figured out how to work with it…  Leave a comment
| Tags: career, installation, Monitor, photography, Proposal, video | Category: photography/digital, portfolio, recent work, submissions, video/sculpture/installation | Here’s a new thing – I’m gonna post my submissions to various contests, fellowships, galleries, etc. These first 3 have already been submitted (the deadlines were Oct. 1st), but I’m planning on adding submissions to my blog before I submit in the future. Here are 10 prints that I actually printed and submitted for a $1000 fellowship to the Center for Photography at Woodstock – This first one was for a fellowship of $1000 only open to people in the neighboring counties where I live (there are a lot of us). I didn’t “win”… This second one is also to CPW for their quarterly magazine – I haven’t heard yet on this one, but I’ll update if I get in. Here’s the photos I submitted to the prestigious West Collection, which is a seriously important contemporary art collection in Pennsylvania – major “emerging” contemporary artists in the collection. There were over 16,000 submissions (up to 10 per person) – 10 people will win a $10,000 prize and be in a major group show (fat chance – I’m outta my league, but what the hell) – I submitted 6 photos (with 2 details) as well as 4 video/installation works, and they will announce the winners on December 1st. Here’s the videos I submitted to the West Collection Channel: Votive

End of Summer, Endless Night
You can also view my work or other submissions from the West Collection at their site, or you can view the other video submission there or at their YouTube Channel. There’s a lot of great stuff on there (also lots of crap), so it’s fun just to be in their online collection, even if for only a few months. If you go there, log in and vote for me – Hey, it can’t hurt! One comment
| Tags: Conceptual Art, photography, portfolio, video | Category: photography/digital, portfolio, recent work, submissions, video, video/sculpture/installation | A new video work is complete! This has been a busy week – I’ll add a bunch more stuff that I did a few days ago in the next post, but I wanted to add this video first, as it was a “commission” for my friend Nick for his new short written work titled “daveDave”, which will be performed as a reading along with this video in the Detroit area in the near future, and eventually be published in a limited edition “chapbook” along with the video as a limited edition as well. More on that as it develops…. This video represents a huge departure for me, in that it actually uses the human form (myself), and it is not directly dealing with the natural landscape and industrial/technological infrastructure as a subject, but is metaphorical in its representation of natural phenomena – namely the growth of hair as a metaphor for the seemingly infinite renewal power inherent in Nature. More chatter after you view the video:
Now click below for some extra commentary and background, or continue to the prevoius post… Continue reading Narcissus Kisses Sisyphus (or Dave Shaves: A Self Portrait) It’s time for some new work! You may have seen my previous series of 3 photos of a wastewater runoff pipe in my photo section on my main site, or the triptych that I submitted to a big time NYC photo contest (which I didn’t win – we were all beat by a blind photographer – how can you compete with that?!?!). Thanks, by the way, for all of you who voted – I’m sorry for the mass email, it won’t happen again. From now on, if you want to be updated about new stuff I’m up to, you can subscribe to a feed from this blog at the bottom of the post or on the sidebar, or you can register as a user for this blog, and you can choose to be updated when there is a new post (plus you can comment on posts!). Anyway, I’ve been photographing a wastewater runoff pipe in Woodstock, NY for a few years now – it’s a huge (2 foot diameter) pipe that comes straight out of the ground vertically at the bank of the Millstream in Woodstock, and constantly belches out “treated” sewage water that flows over some rocks down to the stream about 15′ from the pipe. My previous three photos have been included here as a triptych, both in their “original” saturation, which was adjusted to my 7 year old crappy CRT monitor, and my new improved saturation level based on my fabulous new Mac’s LCD monitor. Tell me which one looks better on your monitor… “original” version:  Wastewater triptych - old saturation levels New improved version:  Wastewater Triptych - new saturation levels So, there you have the original wastewater images, with both saturation levels. Now, here are some more recent photos of the same location/composition… Continue reading Wastewater Runoff Pipe: Variations Leave a comment
