Android Captures. Winter 2011-2012.
Posted by Barney Taxel
This is a series that creates itself, that is, they fall together as a group of related photographs. The fact that they are all made the same android camera is more relevant, than if, for instance, they were all made with a Hasselblad, Canon, Nikon, Sinar, or Deardorff camera. The nature of the optics and the rendering of tones, plus the way that the device handles (the way it literally is held) yields, under certain circumstances, extraordinary images. BT

New Year. New Direction. 1.10.2012.
Posted by Barney Taxel
As use of social media has taken off, the relevance of of the ‘blog’ for one like myself, who does not necessarily have a lot to ‘say’, but does have a lot to share, comes into question. Several times each week examples of my creative/ personal photography are posted on my Facebook wall. Recently I have also begun to regularly post examples of the work being generated by Taxel Image Group, i.e., a portfolio of commercial photography on the TIG wall.
That being said, I have also recently gotten requests to display (and sell) my art on line, so I will begin using this blog site to shamelessly promote that cause… experimentally, of course. Here is the first of what will become periodic displays of works that can be purchased as archival pigment prints in various sizes. Feel free to contact me directly for pricing and delivery details. Cheers, BT

Color Studies. 8.2011.
Posted by Barney Taxel
While traveling recently I was particularly aware of the color relationships in my looking and image making. This is an exercise, of sorts, that I use to prepare for teaching the color and digital photography course at Case Western Reserve University. What begins as a task transforms into an exploration that allows me (the photographer) to connect on various levels with the subject. Often this connection is felt in the photograph- a special moment!

Morning 8.4.2011.
Posted by Barney Taxel
I have been trying to be intentional about spending some time in the garden each morning before the day runs away, and also before the heat makes it prohibitive. Most mornings I try to be somewhat practical- I pull a few weeds or untangle some vines. This morning there was a distinct call to bring the camera along, as if I had a hunger to soak in some new impressions.

While the temperatures have been steadily rising since the end of our late cool and wet spring, there have been many opportunities for camerawork. Some recent findings:
