DALLAS x 5

Finely crafted photographic prints of Dallas
by five photographers

June 8 – August 19, 2017

VIEW THE DALLAS x 5 PRINTS

For five years in a row, it has been a summer tradition at Sun to Moon Gallery to feature stunning prints with Dallas as the subject matter, highlighting beautiful, unique, and even quirky aspects of the city. The tradition continues June 8 – August 19 with the DALLAS x 5, a wide-ranging exhibition of finely crafted photographic prints by Dan Burkholder, Charles Cramer, Scot Miller, Jill Skupin Burkholder & R.P. Washburne.

The five photographers are known for traveling the world in search of subjects for their prints but have found common ground, and drawn inspiration, from places right in our backyard, with each image being created within just fifteen minutes of the gallery. According to gallery director Marilyn Miller, “The DALLAS x 5 exhibition features both the well-known and not-so-well-known when it come to Dallas. There are a few iconic images but the majority are not and gallery visitors will be pleasantly surprised with the diversity of images, artistic expression and printing techniques offered in this enlightening exhibition. We invite people to come see the photographic artistry created in our city and see Dallas in a new light!”

Some of the subjects: Great Trinity Forest, Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, Trinity River, Trinity Forest Golf Club, Trinity Skyline Trail, State Fair of Texas

R.P. WASHBURNE:
Photographic Performances

May 4 – June 3, 2017

Fine photographic prints

VIEW THE R.P. WASHBURNE PRINTS

For years, R.P. “Dick” Washburne has followed his passion, travelling the world practicing the art of photography and working to perfect his craft. He has studied with some of the best photographers in the world and learned well, as evidenced in this new exhibition. Since his first exhibition at Sun to Moon Gallery in 2009, he has covered a lot of territory and subject matter. Sun to Moon Gallery is proud to present a diverse selection of finely crafted photographic prints by Washburne, including classic prints and prints being shown for the first time. Ansel Adams famously wrote, “The negative is comparable to the composer’s score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.” Washburne takes this concept to heart, carefully crafting his colorful prints to make each “sing” in its own glorious way.

ALAN ROSS: Art of the Gelatin Silver Print

March 23 - April 29, 2017

Fine photographic prints from an Ansel Adams’ protégé

VIEW THE ALAN ROSS PRINTS

Alan Ross has earned an international reputation as a specialist in the art of black-and-white photography – as an artist, educator and master printer. He was Ansel Adams’ Photographic Assistant in Carmel from 1974 to 1979, and integrally involved with Adams’ books, teaching in Yosemite, and production of fine prints. Ross’s tonally exquisite black-and-white photograph prints, painstakingly hand-crafted in the darkroom, are prized by collectors and hang in collections throughout the world. Ross is the exclusive printer of Ansel Adams’ Yosemite Special Edition Prints, an assignment Adams personally selected him for. He makes each print by hand from Adams’ original negatives using traditional darkroom techniques.

“Alan Ross: Art of the Gelatin Silver Print” highlights forty-five years of photographing around the world and features a variety of images; landscapes, oak trees at the LBJ Ranch in Stonewall, Texas, still lifes, architecturals, a stunning nude, and more. The exhibition also includes a selection of engaging portraits and candids of the legendary photographer Ansel Adams that Ross took during his tenure with him.

Kindred Spirits: The photography of Dan Burkholder & Jill Skupin Burkholder

February 23 - March 18, 2017

VIEW THE KINDRED SPIRITS PRINTS

It is rare to find husband-wife teams performing and creating individually at the highest levels of photography, but Sun to Moon Gallery is blessed with three such couples; Anne Larsen & John Sexton, Annette Bottaro-Walklet & Keith S. Walklet, and Jill Skupin Burkholder & Dan Burkholder. The gallery is pleased to highlight the artistry of one of these couples with the exhibition, “Kindred Spirits: The Photography of Dan Burkholder & Jill Skupin Burkholder.” Both artists are introducing new prints and will be present to talk about their works at an Artists Reception at Sun to Moon Gallery on Saturday, March 4th from 5-8 p.m.

Dan Burkholder on his new Cuba work: "An artist's responsibility is to find - or create - the atypical in any environment. During my three recent trips to Cuba, I strived to discover the unique design, the inimitable subject matter, or the photographic approach that would separate my images from the commonplace."

Jill Skupin Burkholder talks about her new work from the Great Trinity Forest in Dallas: "My new prints from the Great Trinity Forest unveil the diverse creatures living within the natural, native areas of Dallas. These images of Texas wildlife, captured with a motion-sensitive trail camera, are creatively transformed into encaustic works of art utilizing beeswax and resin to highlight the ethereal landscape within the borders of the urban forest."

A Photographic Celebration

12 photographers. 20 parks. 30 fine prints.

September 8 – October 8, 2016

VIEW THE PRINTS

The twelve photographers represented by Sun to Moon Gallery work with a variety of genres and subjects, but nature and wild spaces are unquestionably at the top of the list. To celebrate the Centennial of the National Park Service, the gallery assembled a collection of 30 fine prints featuring 20 park units in the national park system. Prints by each of the twelve photographers are included, including Alan Ross and John Sexton, the great Ansel Adams’ (arguably the most famous photographer ever of our national parks) last two photographic assistants, working with Adams collectively from 1976 until his death in 1984. In addition to gelatin silver prints by Ross and Sexton, large-format color prints by Scot Miller, the current Artist-in-Park for the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park in Stonewall, TX, Charles Cramer, a two-time Artist-in-Park at Yosemite National Park, and Alison Shaw, who served a beach shack artist-in-residency at Cape Cod National Seashore, will be on display and for sale, as well as prints by Annette Bottaro-Walklet, Dan Burkholder, Jeffrey Conley, Anne Larsen, Jill Skupin Burkholder, Keith S. Walklet and R.P. Washburne.

According to Gallery Director Marilyn Miller, “We are fortunate to represent some of the best landscape photographers in the world and look forward to showing their artistry in celebration of the National Park Service Centennial. While exhibition visitors will see some iconic images of parks, many of the images highlight the unique, artistic eyes that the photographers have become so well known for. Well-known parks such as Yosemite National Park and Yellowstone National Park will be represented as well as lesser-known parks, such as Buffalo National River and Golden Gate National Recreation Area. We are also excited to feature an image by Scot Miller from the new Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. He has been working in northern Maine for over a decade in support of the new park.”

Among the areas featured are Acadia National Park (Maine), Bryce Canyon National Park (Utah), Buffalo National River (Arkansas), Cape Cod National Seashore (Massachusetts), Golden Gate National Recreation Area (California), Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming), Great Smoky Mountains National Park (North Carolina, Tennessee), Kings Canyon National Park (California), Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park (Texas), Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming), Yosemite National Park (California), and Zion National Park (Utah).

ALISON SHAW: A Colorful Palette

MAY 12 –JUNE 11, 2016

Finely Crafted Photographic Prints

VIEW the Alison Shaw Fine Prints

Off the south coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, lies Martha’s Vineyard, where award-winning photographer Alison Shaw has lived and worked since 1975. The island has provided the inspiration and subject matter for much of her photography. In recent years she has been fascinated by abstracting the scenes before her, using her camera to literally paint with light, with movement of the camera creating gorgeous, evocative swaths of color.

This new exhibition at Sun to Moon Gallery celebrates the cycle of Alison’s creative work, featuring crisp, clear, saturated images, tranquil, ethereal seascapes, and variations thereof. From boldly graphic abstracts to mystical seascapes to fascinating boat detail studies to her artist’s studios series – Alison’s colorful, contemporary and organic prints are visually stunning, beautiful to behold, and unique relative to the other photographers’ print styles at Sun to Moon Gallery.

Friendly to collectors and non-collectors alike, Alison’s vibrant prints hang easily in contemporary spaces. Nineteen books featuring her photography have been published and thousands of her original fine art prints are in public and private collections.

Art of the Tree: CHARLES CRAMER

FEBRUARY 18 – MARCH 26, 2016

VIEW THE "CHARLES CRAMER: ART OF THE TREE" FINE PRINTS

Big trees, small trees, lone trees, groves of trees, west coast trees, east coast trees, Southwest trees, Caddo Lake trees; this exhibition celebrates trees, a subject that Charles Cramer is known for far and wide. A master photographer and printer, Cramer studied with the great Ansel Adams... and learned well. Making fine prints has been his obsession for forty years. Only when you see his prints in person, and experience their brilliance and sharpness, do you fully appreciate them.

Charles Cramer is widely recognized as one of the top landscape photographers in the world today. It’s one thing to take great photographs and another to translate great photographs into luminous prints that “sing.” He excels in both! Almost two-dozen stunning large-format color prints will be on display during this exhibition. Sun to Moon Gallery invites you to celebrate the art of the tree, Charles Cramer-style!

Vida Cubana by R. P. Washburne

Fine photographic prints of Cuban life.

JULY 16 – AUGUST 22, 2015

VIEW THE CUBA PRINTS

"I spent countless hours roaming the streets, hoping to find locations that were stories in themselves. Of course, I didn't have to look far, as everywhere you turn in Cuba there's another gold mine for the eyes. Not just the old American cars from the 50's and before, but everything else which became frozen in time during the revolution, contributed to a sense of having traveled backward in time."

- R.P. Washburne

R.P. "Dick" Washburne traveled to Cuba three times; two month-long trips in 2000 and a two-week trip in 2011. He spent countless hours roaming the streets, seeking locations and scenes that were stories in themselves. With this exhibition, we present some of those stories, showing a fascinating look into a Cuba before the inevitable changes occur.

ARTIST RECEPTION – Saturday, July 18 from 5 - 8 p.m.

INSIGHT with Keith S. Walklet

An exhibition of finely crafted photographic prints

OCTOBER 11 – NOVEMBER 15, 2014

VIEW the Prints from "INSIGHT with Keith S. Walklet"

Photographer/author Keith S. Walklet is well known for his fine photographic prints of grand landscapes, especially of the American West and his former home, Yosemite National Park, but in the last few years he has expanded his photographic palette in new ways.

According to Keith, “Lately, I’ve been exploring the elasticity of light: compressing it, stretching it, looking at layers of light, all in search of the poetry that resides within the fractions of time. By toying with time, I’ve expanded my visual pallet beyond simple, literal interpretations of a scene, to impressions of a moment. Longer exposures, where either the camera or subject are moving, have the feeling of paintings with bold brush strokes. Shorter exposures reveal layer upon layer of information. But, they all share a sense of wonder at the magic that is going on around us at all times.”

Walklet’s “Insight” exhibition at Sun to Moon Gallery will feature prints reflecting his recent work with abstract imagery plus the stunning landscapes that he has long been known for. Each print is made by Mr. Walklet, printed to archival standards, numbered and signed.

ARTIST'S RECEPTION with Keith S. Walklet

Caddo Lake Exposed: SIX PERSPECTIVES

 

An exhibition of 33 finely crafted photographic prints,
benefiting Caddo Lake Institute

Featuring fine photographic prints by Dan Burkholder, Charles Cramer,
Scot Miller, Alan Ross, Jill Skupin Burkholder & R.P. Washburne

SEPTEMBER 4 – OCTOBER 11, 2014

VIEW the Prints from "Caddo Lake Exposed"

Attention collectors - A first for Sun to Moon Gallery...
Every print hanging in this exhibiiton is the #1 print.

An extraordinary number of people have a deep affection for Caddo Lake, on the Texas/Louisiana border. It is truly unique. No other body of water in Texas remotely resembles it. It is the only naturally formed large lake in Texas and supports the largest flooded cypress forest anywhere. It is visually stunning, with Spanish moss-draped trees and an abundance of wildlife (including rare birds & alligators!). Caddo Lake’s wetlands are recognized as “Wetlands of International Importance" under the Ramsar Convention, an international treaty created in 1971. For over two years, six renowned photographers turned their lenses on the lake, resulting in this exhibition of 33 diverse and engaging fine photographic prints.

It is important to protect and preserve Caddo Lake, now and for future generations. Caddo Lake Institute (CLI) is helping to do just that.

Partial proceeds from “Caddo Lake Exposed” print sales benefit Caddo Lake Institute, a non-profit scientific and educational organization founded in 1992 by recording artist-conservationist Don Henley, who grew up in the region. Caddo Lake Institute’s mission is to protect the ecological, cultural and economic integrity of Caddo Lake, and its associated wetlands and watershed. CLI works with local communities, schools, non-governmental organizations & government agencies to protect the unique treasure that is Caddo Lake. Your fine print purchases help the cause!

Thank you to our sponsors for helping to make this exhibition possible:

A Photographic Adventure in Thoreau’s
Maine Woods
by Scot Miller

October 17 – November 30, 2013

An exhibition of fine color prints
from the new book,
Thoreau,
The Maine Woods: A Photographic Journey Through an American Wilderness,
plus “favorite”
prints from
Scot’s two previous illustrated Thoreau books, Walden and Cape Cod.

From the award-winning photographer who brought to life Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and John Muir’s My First Summer in the Sierra comes a new book, his fifth, combining classic literature with stunning new photography. The new Collector’s Edition book by Levenger Press, Thoreau, The Maine Woods: A Photographic Journey Through an American Wilderness, marries the photographs of Dallas-based Scot Miller with the words of Henry David Thoreau as he recounts three excursions to the Maine Woods, from 1846 to 1857. Scot spent more than seven years, in all seasons, photographing northern Maine, from Bangor in the south to Fort Kent on the Canadian border, focusing on the places Thoreau either explored or wrote about in his 1864 book. The result is a new, exquisitely reproduced illustrated Collector’s Edition, replete with 88 full-color photographs and containing Thoreau’s full text.

VIEW SCOT MILLER'S FINE PRINTS from
"A Photographic Adventure in Thoreau’s Maine Woods"

A Photographic Adventure in Thoreau’s Maine Woods by Scot Miller, features large-format fine color prints from the new book plus “favorite” prints from Scot’s two previous illustrated Thoreau books, Walden and Cape Cod. Additionally, for the first time since their “Camera to Canvas II” collaborative exhibition in 2006, brothers Scot and JD Miller collaborate again. JD, represented locally by Samuel Lynne Galleries, created a large, one-of-a-kind 3-D oil painting of his interpretation of Scot’s “Color Burst, Maine Woods,” a Collector’s Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Scot produced to help raise funds for his efforts on behalf of the creation of a new national park in the Maine Woods. The stunning photograph is featured on the cover of the new book. JD’s oil painting is on display at Sun to Moon Gallery throughout the exhibition, and offered for sale at $28,500, with partial proceeds benefitting Scot's national park efforts.

Video interview: Dallas photographer Scot Miller,
on photo-illustrating the writings of John Muir
Pegasus News, April 29, 2011

About Scot Miller
Scot Miller is a professional photographer whose work has appeared in numerous publications and books, including Walden: The 150th Anniversary Illustrated Edition of the American Classic, Cape Cod: Illustrated Edition of the American Classic, and First Light: Five Photographers Explore Yosemite’s Wilderness. He is currently Artist-in-Park at the Lyndon B. Johnson Historical Park (LBJ Ranch) and is working on a Maine Woods book. His fine art prints are included in many collections. Miller lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife, Marilyn, where they own and operate Sun to Moon Gallery, a fine art photography gallery.

About John Muir
JOHN MUIR (1838-1914) was a naturalist, environmental activist, and author of over a dozen books on nature and conservation. He founded the Sierra Club and is considered the father of the national parks.

About the Book
From the photographer who brought Thoreau’s Walden and Cape Cod to life comes a new work combining classic literature with brand-new photography. This time, Scot Miller takes on the seminal work of John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra. The book details Muir’s first extended trip to the Sierra Nevada in what is now Yosemite National Park, a landscape that entranced him immediately and had a profound effect on his life. The towering waterfalls, natural rock formations, and abundant plant and animal life helped Muir develop his views of the natural world, views that would eventually lead him to push for the creation of the national parks.

Timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the book’s original publication by Houghton Mifflin Company, My First Summer in the Sierra is illustrated with Miller’s stunning photographs, showcasing the dramatic landscape of the High Sierra plus John Muir’s illustrations from the original edition and several previously unpublished illustrations from his 1911 manuscript.

The foreword is by Dayton Duncan and Kens Burns, the award-winning filmmakers who collaborated on the PBS documentary “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.”

The book is published in collaboration with Yosemite Conservancy and, for each copy sold, Scot Miller is making a donation to Yosemite Conservancy.

About Yosemite Conservancy (www.YosemiteConservancy.org)
