 Rochester Moments

 An Exhibit of Photographs by

Sheridan Vincent

Community Branch Gallery at the
Canandaigua National Bank & Trust
Alexander-Park Branch
210 Alexander Street
Rochester, New York

As a photographer, I enjoy specializing in Rochester Regional and panoramic photography. My photographs have been purchased for numerous professional offices, businesses, and residences. Especially when printed large, they can significantly enhance a home or office décor.

My exhibit, Rochester Moments, includes 17 photographs taken in and around Rochester and is a good representation of my photography and methods of display in a commercial space.

I hope I have an opportunity to meet you at the Reception on January 25. If not, I would be pleased to review my portfolio with you at your convenience. You will have continued opportunity to see the exhibit that will be at the Canandaigua National Bank & Trust, Alexander Park Branch to summer 2012.

“Off Season” up next at Image City

We are getting geared up for our next exhibit at Image City Photography Gallery. Our next show is The Eclectic Palette by Dick Welch and Harriet Sutherland, I am looking forward to seeing it. The exhibit opens on Wednesday, January 25 11am. For my exhibit, I am reworking a photograph that I took a few years ago.  I have titled it Off-Season. It features Rochester’s baseball stadium, Frontier Field. The statue, by the way, is the work of Dejan Pejovic, a local artist, and it features Morrie Silver, who was a longtime owner of the Rochester Red Wings baseball team. The print will be 20×44-inches printed on canvas. The photograph has been well recieved in other media and I am pleased with this first-time print on canvas. The opening reception for The Eclectic Palette is Friday, January 27 5 – 8:30pm. Check the link for details as well as info on the other artists who are part of the show http://www.imagecityphotographygallery.com/Shows/201202show/index.htm.

Photo Premiere: Winter Solstice 2011

Winter Solstice 2011 by Sheridan Vincent

A friend mentioned on the first day of Winter that he was looking forward to seeing my solstice photo. While I have had a Summer Solstice Photo since 2005, I have only done a winter once or twice. Taking both the reminder and the challenge, here is what I came up with for Winter Solstice 2011. I figured that the best time to get a night-time photo of the skyline where the lights in the building were on more prominently would be at 5pm, so here you go with the Genesee River having just about perfect flow for nice patterns — the next day the water was higher and had less interesting patterns. Have a Great 2012!!

Photo Premiere: Cycling Path

I have not printed this photo before and am toying with making one for the High Falls Gallery “Play” exhibit in January. Taken of the cycling and walking path over the marsh between Lake Ontario and Durand Eastman Park — Fall 2010. Down on one knee, 14mm and stitched — it makes the path look like a super highway. Perhaps it is too wide. I like being able to shoot wide at the sun. We are fortunate to have so many – relatively new – cycling and walking attractions in Rochester.

January 2012 update. I have printed the photo for the “Play” exhibit at High Falls Gallery. There is a reception on January 22. I like the way the photo printed on canvas about 48-inches wide.

Photo Premiere: Holiday Show 2011 at Image City Photography Gallery

At Image City Photography Gallery we have opened out Holiday Show 2011. For the exhibit, Gallery Partners have taken over the featured walls in the Gallery and we have nine invited Guest Photographers as well as our Artists-in-Residence Jim Patton and David Perlman. For a featured photograph in my exhibit, I have produced a 36×80-inch vertical panorama of a photograph that I took this past Fall at Lake Eastman, Durand Eastman Park. It is printed on Epson Exhibition Canvas Satin. While I have made a few vertical panoramas, this is the first one that I have done in large size. I am getting positive reaction to the natural appearance of the print from the image that covered a range from very bright sun on yellow leaves to the dark shadow in the trees and tree fall.  Additionally, I have several other photographs in the exhibit, including Summer Solstice 2008, Warm Lights, Cool City and Chimney Bluffs. A 20×40 canvas print of Yellow Leaf Road was sold. We enjoy the Holiday Show and have held one now for seven years at Image City. The photo at left shows me with the photograph at the frame shop before installing it at Image City, noting its size relative to a “standard Sheridan”. The exhibit runs through December 23. The Gallery is also open on Mondays and Tuesdays during the Holiday Show in addition to the 11-7 times on Wed – Sat and noon-4pm on Sundays.

Sales Success: Solstice Kayakers

I have just learned that two of my photographs from the “Right Place, Right Time” exhibit were sold at the Finger Lakes Gallery and Frame in Canandaigua. The Letchworth Sunrise photo had been selected best in the show and it sold in a 16×30-in size on canvas. I have mentioned this image in previous articles. A second photograph is features in this article. I call it Solstice Kayakers. It is one of my Solstice Series taken this past summer from Durand-Eastman Beach. I had some other shots of the sunrise and I was pleased to see in the distance four kayakers head out onto the lake just as the sun was rising above the horizon. I suspect it was four friends enjoying their own company as well as a brilliant sunrise on the first day of summer. I can only image how it looked to them when they were far from shore looking to the horizon. The sun was still at a good angle when they began to paddle back to shore and I was fortunate to have them cross the beams of the reflecting sunlight on Lake Ontario. I certainly took advantage of some image processing to pump up a bit of enhanced sunrise saturation. I had this print in the “Rochester Moments” show printed on the high gloss aluminum and it made the surface look like copper. The print that sold at Finger Lakes Gallery and Frame was 17×22-in canvas with a black float frame. Just after the kayers passed the sunbeams a powered sailboat also went by giving a similar silhouette look. They look good as a pair. I’ll post that one another day.

Published Success: Summer Solstice 2009

My photograph, Summer Solstice 2009, was recently published in the November 2011 issue of Modern Steel Construction magazine. The article was one announcing the selection of Rochester’s Col. Patrick O’Rorke Bridge to be one of the three People’s Choice selections for best bridge. My photo was submitted by the architecture firm Bergmann Associates, Rochester for consideration by the magazine. The photo and article about the selection was also featured in an online article by the Democrat and Chronicle newspaper. The published photo is the “right half” of the full panoramic photo taken on Summer Solstice evening in 2009 that you can view on my website in the panorama gallery.

Sales Success: Rochester Criterium 2008

In a follow-up to my Rochester Moments exhibit at Image City, I had another sale. A local collector purchased a 12×30 AluminArte Print of Rochester Criterium 2008. It is a stitched panoramic photo at the intersection of South Ave and Broad St. with the Rundel Public Library as a backdrop. I call photos like these “dynamic panorama” because there is an element of moving people in the multiple photos and in this case to compose the riders and the crowds  in the multiple exposures took some significant post work. The brief rain shower during the race added considerably to the composition, although the cyclists were experiencing a fair bit of slipping and sliding. The color and the reflections really benefit with the AluminArte print.

Sales Success: Mercury and Wings

In addition to the Letchworth Sunrise panoramic photograph purchased by the law firm at Linden Oaks, they also purchased Mercury and Wings. The large 20×30-in print is to be matted and framed with a black frame. I took this photograph a couple of years ago on the first day of summer. Sun was beaming into the structure of the wings allowing a  great view of the structure. The Mercury statue and the Wings atop the Times Square Building are more than one city block apart. I was able to hold both in focus from a unique vantage point. No photoshop composition in the placement!

The client wanted the photograph on conventional paper – Epson Luster. It also looks good printed on Canvas. I have had a couple of more 20×30 prints made, a customer at the shop where it was being framed saw it for a potential purchase. I am also have one Plak-It mounted and plan to exhibit it during the November show at Image City.

Winning Photos at Finger Lakes Gallery and Frame, Canandaigua, NY

"Summer Solstice 2010" selected in the top 12 for the exhibit.

I entered the juried show at Finger Lakes Gallery and Frame titled “Right Place, Right Time”. I was pleased to learn that the photograph “Letchworth Sunrise” won first place and the photo in this article “Solstice Sunset 2010″ aka “Braddock Dock” was one of the first 12 selected.

The winning photo is in an article a few previous previous to this one in this blog. The descriptive tag that I put up with it is “The Genesee River gorge filled with fog and we feel blessed to be above it all and to see the sun bathe the leaves dropped from their previous vantage point, where they saw a spring and summer of days dawning. The cycle continues long after we have gone.” I made several entries and five additional photographs were selected. There are many great photos in the exhibit by many talented photographers. Well worth a visit to the gallery in Canandaigua in your Fall travels.

“The Birch Family” as a 20×30-inch print

The current exhibit at Image City Photography Gallery is by Gil Maker, Don Menges, and George Wallace and titled “Diamonds, Rabbits, and Stars”. My photograph in the exhibit is a large 20×30 print with larger matte and frame. It was a photograph that I took of a stand of birch trees at Letchworth State Park right after the sun cleared  the ridge and started pouring light into the trees on the rim of the gorge.
