![]() ![]() ![]() We also set up a deal with David to share our darkroom in exchange for prints of his work. So David became a fixture in our gallery where we hosted 3-4 one-person shows and quite a few thematic shows that included his work as well. In fact they were little botanical “portraits” of bushes, center-framed and fabulous. The subject matter was also unique, I remember marveling about them to Cecil when he returned, “what were they?” he asked, “bushes!” I said. The prints stood out-they were really small, no more than 4” x 4”, but were beautifully printed and toned with sepia and selenium, and they were gorgeously rich-almost luminescent and they had torn edges. I’ll never forget the portfolio David showed me that day, as it was absolutely unique in my experience. Being two photographers we made it a point to have photography as one of the featured shows each month so it was common to be visited by the newest photographers in town. I first met David Halliday back in the 90’s when I co-owned Icon’s Gallery with fellow photographer, Cecil Rimes. ![]()
