a digital stills photography exhibition
burbank, ca -- january, 2004

Recently, I was given the opportunity to have a one-man photography exhibition at Walt Disney Feature Animation in Burbank, CA. I worked for several months to select just the right pictures, then spent countless hours post-processing, printing and framing them, and ended up with a show consisting of 54 framed works, including a few triptychs.

Because not everyone is close enough to come to the opening, I thought it would be good to have a virtual show online. To that end, I have put the entire show here on my site so that you can see all of the works in it, no matter if you are close by or far away.

To get started, click the graphic of the show poster to the right. Thereafter you will see the following graphic on each photograph in the show:

 

 

Click it to continue with the show. In all, there are 58 individual photographs in the show. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

The works in the show are in no particular order. There is no underlying theme to the order of the works or their presentation here.

As to the name of the show... I work for a company that makes movies, or motion pictures. All the folks at my work have been very supportive of me in the pursuit of this show, and so I was looking for a way to incorporate that feeling into the name of the show. That's when I hit upon "e.motion pictures" as a perfect name for it -- for me these electronic/digital images create emotional moments and I hope I have been able to convey some of that to you, the audience.

Please enjoy the show.

I would like to thank a few souls for their help and inspiration:

Thanks go out to my friends Dayna Meltzer and Sahara Wernick, without whom this show would not be taking place at all. They convinced me to pursue the show, and so here it is!

Iąd like to thank my wife Beth McClure for everything, but mostly for putting up with me over the last several months as I built the show. She has been very patient with me as I continually filled all our free spaces at home with pictures and frames.

Iąd like to thank my father, Gordon McClure, for supporting me now, and in just about every grand pursuit I have ever had.

Thanks to Dan Wolf, who runs the Fujimugs website and photo challenges. I have learned so much by taking part in the challenges -- and thanks to all the folks who hang out at Fujimugs and over at the FujiTalk forum at DPReview as well for their help, inspiration, dialogue and comments -- you're a great bunch of people!

Thanks to Steveo and the other folks at PIC Color lab in Burbank for working so hard to make my photos come out well on those fantastic Lambda and Fuji printers.

Finally, I must thank my dear friend Zoober for being in mind every time I release the shutter...

Best,
