Lola considers herself self-taught even though she has attended four universities and taken numerous workshops to study with master photographers. Works are produced using large format cameras and vintage lenses. Toned or hand stained silver-gelatin prints are enlarged from collodion wet-plate negatives. She has participated in exhibitions in the Cole Pratt Gallery in New Orleans, the Design Center in Dallas, Women and Their Work Gallery in Austin, and the Art House Gallery in Austin. Paul Kozal The Sea Ranch, California The Cypress Grove 8˝x10˝ toned gelatin silver print, in an edition of 50. © Paul Kozal The Cypress Grove is from my portfolio of images of the historic Cypress Hedgerows of The Sea Ranch in Northern California. These hedgerows were planted between 1916 and 1929 as windbreaks and to divide the meadows for a sheep ranch. The Monterey Cypress has a life span of about 100 years. So many of the 20 historic hedgerows are now near the end of their life span or have already been removed and replanted. Paul Kozal, a self taught photographer, has been devoting his life, since 1989, to the exploration of fine art photography. Using black and white film he creates toned and handtinted gelatin-silver prints. His subject matter consists mostly of landscapes of the Southwest and California. His photographs have been selected for many prestigious national and international juried exhibitions and won many awards. He is represented in several galleries throughout the United States. Jean Laughton Interior, South Dakota Dodge – Miles City, Montana Type-C print. 16˝x20˝ This portrait is from my Go West series. Inspired by the fake reality of silent films and in search of a cast of characters, I headed West during the summers of 1995-2002. Traveling with my painted backdrops, I set up a makeshift portrait studio behind the scenes at rodeos. This series is a document of the people of the West as well as a document of what they represent – the myth of the West, the adventure, the romance… This particular portrait was taken at the Miles City Bucking Horse Sale. Jean Laughton, a native Iowan, began photographing in 1993 while living in New York City. She started © Jean Laughton, oic with cross-country trips, capturing glimpses of disappearing Americana. This led to several series: Country Western Legends; Women Roughstock Riders; American Originals and others. Her gaze then turned West, resulting in the Go West series. She moved to the Badlands of South Dakota in 2002. Since then, Jean have been documenting ranch work from horse back while working on the Quarter Circle XL Ranch. Natalie Young Hermosa Beach, California Georgia & Sabine #3 Silver gelatin print. 7˝x7˝ Special Edition of 25 for TPS. Georgia and Sabine are my two girls, m i n i a t u r e dachshunds, who I've been photographing for © Natalie Young years. Each image is a quiet moment on an ordinary day, just like a thousand other moments taken for granted. Natalie's work often explores themes of how we relate to our environment, and how personal and cultural history is often attached to a sense of place. She has been part of several TPS group exhibitions over the last few years, she was awarded the 2000 Visual Arts Fellowship from the Arkansas Arts Council, and her work is in many private collections around the country. She and her husband now live in a beach town outside of Los Angeles. Carol Watson Blanco, Texas Swayback Barn Archival Pigment Print on Fine Art Paper. 11˝x14˝ overmatted to 16˝x20˝ Special TPS Edition of 25. Swayback Barn is an image in Carol’s Lucie Award-winning Prairie Solitude series. This scene was photographed, using a digital infrared camera in the middle of a winter's day in southern Alberta, Canada, near where she ☞ www.texasphoto.org / Texas Photographic Society / Contact Sheet / Vol 28 No 3 • 2008 2
© Carol Watson grew up. This barn, like many others she’s encountered, is proof that you can find gesture in inanimate structures such as a partially collapsed barn, waiting like an old widow, abandoned, stubborn, leaning wearily, turning gray. She continues to capture these "ghosts in the wind" as she travels throughout the rural areas of the world looking for places that people have left, never to return. In 2005, Carol was selected as Photographer of the Year in the Architecture category at the International Photography Awards and also won the Lucie Award for New Discovery of the Year for her Prairie Solitude series. Her work has been shown in galleries throughout the world and has been published in several books and magazines. Carol recently opened, Watson Studio Gallery, in Johnson City, Texas, devoted to photographic and digital fine art.
