“The cover images for A Cave, A Canoo LP were hand printed (optically) in an edition of 300. Most of the 25 different images were taken with a Zero Image 6x6 pinhole camera in places such as Portland, OR, Astoria, OR, Long Beach, WA, Paris, FR, Chicago, IL, and Colonia, Uruguay. I have been taking pictures for almost 20 years, show regularly, and am part of The Portland Grid Project, Lightleak, and I work for Blue Moon Camera and Machine. Eric Isaacson, came to me with the idea to use my original prints as covers to the records. It was a really exciting idea to me, because i had not seen a record like that since my Dad's copy of a hand painted jazz record he had purchased in the 1960s from an add in Downbeat magazine. I hope to keep film and optical prints alive through projects like this. The entire series of photos are scheduled to be on display in Astoria, OR in 2010.”
