The new issue of Color Magazine (for Collectors of Fine Photography) just arrived today.  This issue is dedicated to the magazine’s Single Image Contest Winners and one of my photos is featured.  My  photograph “Scopion” won a Merit award in the Extreme Color category.  The photograph was take in September 2009 and is of the colorful carnival ride lights at the Michigan State Fair in Detroit.

I am excited for the exposure and now motivated to further refine my portfolio of work.  I especially need to focus on developing a deep and specific body of work – I tend to be a bit sporadic in content and style.

After much delay, I finally have all my images uploaded to my website.  I have quite a number of newer images, so check it out.  Check it out at: http://matthewaldrich.com.  Some new images include:

I have been working hard to revamp my website and start a blog, all in an attempt to better “show” and explain my work.  Some of the changes include a new store at etsy.com and an improved gallery with significantly more images.  My plan is to continually update the galleries as I capture more images.  Related to the blog, if you are reading this, you found it.  My hope is to use the blog to explain the circumstances and intentions surrounding the images I create.  The blog also allows you to provide feedback on what you see.  I also plan to include information on my equipment and techniques, so if you are a photo buff, I am sure you will want to visit often.  To stay updated with the blog, make sure to sign up for my mailing list here.

While I still have more work to do, you can see the latest gallery creation, which includes the above and below images, by clicking here.
