John Chiara @ Eleanor Harwood Gallery, San Francisco
This is the exhibition that Claudia mentioned tonight.

Virgin Lamp

This image was shot of a lamp that I bought a couple of years ago while visiting my grandparents in Venice, FL.

French Mannequin Head

She is so beautiful. Originally shot at the Alameda Antique Faire a couple of months ago. Makes a great wet-plate image. I like it much better than in color. Perhaps I'll upload the polaroid transfer that I made of her as well.

Please join me and the other alchemy members at my studio on Monday, June 30th at 7pm. Bring some artwork to share. There will be light snacks and beverages. If you need directions, please email me.
