Mr. Rhames is a digital photographer who prints his own images using archival pigment inks on Fine Art archival paper.\u00a0 His photography includes portraiture, \u2018scapes, nature, commercial and product imagery and weddings.\u00a0 The prints he displays in this exhibit are both monochrome and color.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The subject matter is from a larger body of work and is a collection of images capturing the distinctive beauty of medieval Irish \u2013 Norman architecture of some of Ireland\u2019s lesser known historical sites.<\/p>

In Rhames\u2019 description of his exhibit, he states \u201cWhile most people see these old Medieval ruins as just piles of rocks, I am irresistibly drawn to the eloquent poem of history that they whisper to me.\u00a0 Most often, I am completely alone with these stone edifices and, while photographing them from every conceivably interesting angle, able to hear their whisperings and envision the stories they conjure in my more than willing imagination.\u201d<\/p>

He adds, \u201cThe finished product of my photography seems to inevitably result in what those sites felt like to me more than what they looked like in the light of forensic accuracy.\u00a0 Many times, the finished product of my photography of these tangible historical markers seems to be \u201cdark\u201d in an emotional sense.\u00a0 I often wonder if that result is an expression of my knowledge that history has not been kind to my Irish ancestors.\u00a0 Particularly that history imposed upon them by my father\u2019s Anglo-Irish ancestors.\u201d<\/p>

Mr. Rhames will present a discussion of his photography and techniques on Friday January 17th, at 7 PM at The Spectrum Gallery\u2019s \u201cFriday Photography Live\u201d.<\/p>

Mr. Rhames was first introduced to serious photography as a \u201crookie\u201d police officer with the City of Fresno Police Department, assigned to the Identification Bureau (what is now called CSI), photographing crime scenes and other events requiring photographic evidence.\u00a0 The assignment was brief, but he learned \u201cthe basics\u201d.\u00a0 Upon retirement, 40 years later, he gravitated to photography as a second career.\u00a0 He studied and completed the Commercial Photography Course with the New York Institute of Photography, continued his photographic education through intensive selfteaching methods and has been a licensed photographer since 2010.\u00a0 In successive years Fresno Fair Professional Photography Exhibition, he has been awarded numerous awards in the Professional Category.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
