Brad Carlile Photo Blog

Check this out, Google actually mapped the interior of my art photography show at De Santos Gallery in Houston. I’ve included this new 360degree “installation shot” to my main page.  Just scroll down to the installation show on the main page, then do the normal Google maps buttons… www.bradcarlile.com

Currently I only have the 360degree map for laptops and tablets, I disabled it for iPhone for now.

Let me know how it works and what you think!

Below is a jpeg that links to my website (scroll to near bottom of main page)…

As a result of showing my work to JJ Estrada Toledo at Photolucida, he asked me to be part of a group show in Guatemala City. The show is “GeoGráfica” which will be held in the Fototropía of La Fototeca. The show opens on 29th May with my 30″x40″ images. For those on facebook, https://www.facebook.com/lafototeca

My updated resume at: http://www.bradcarlile.com/bio/resume.html  I’m also working on many other very exciting opportunities that came out of the Photolucida portfolio review.

My attempt to translate the “GeoGráfica” show’s statement:

“What? Who? Where are we?”

Photography is something that is constantly responding and in turn questioning.
The need to interpret our environment through the graphic language gives shape and meaning to a new visual language that is common, global.
This group exhibition explores the image beyond the photographic impulse, beyond the accuracy the surface is recorded on. And in an attempt to have control, and leaves a trail of images that manifest our existence.

The 2013 Photolucida portfolio review is around the corner.  This fully book portfolio review is one the premier reviews in the world.  It happens every two years in Portland Oregon.

I’ve seen a list of the reviews at the Photolucida website, but it didn’t contain the links to the organizations so I created one here for my fellow photographers.  It is important for photographers to fully understand who they will be showing work to and how their work fits into the context of other work shown and/or published by the organization.

If you have any corrections, please let me know. Also if there is other info you’d like to see and I can help, let me know. (Note: I am not connected with the Photolucida organization, I’m a photographer who gets reviewed)

I just got off the waiting list so I’m getting everything ready now.  If any of my friends from past portfolio reviews are coming this year, drop me a line so we can catch up  during the review!

I created my new photography website (www.bradcarlile.com)as a responsive web design. Now my images and information can be easily viewed on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and large computers in a way that is best for each device.

Responsive web design is used to allow websites to adapt web pages to the layout to the device he or she is using. On my website the content also changes for each device.

Check out my new beautiful responsive website layout below for inspiration in your own responsive web design projects.

Desktop (widescreen)

Computer – Responsive Design

Notice how the background changes for the smaller screens, this should make them easier to see. Also the smaller screens are designed to be easy to scroll with your fingers.

iPad (tablet) & Mobile (portrait)

iPhone & iPad screenshots – Responsive Design

Details of some of the website changes:

• Menu appears at the top for computers and laptops
• Menu is at the bottom for iPhones so images don’t get crowded out by menu
• Menu show same images of the portfolios
• Computers with more room have an additional story about “Letting Go”
• There is a tooltip that shows you hidden information about my images, hint look for the blue circle with an “i” in it
• A few form for easily signing up for my newsletter
• Short & long resume, depending on how much info you want

Details html5 and css3 for web designer:

• Based on a fluid grid, with screen-size dependent content
• fixed position css for main image
• Multi-level nav menu with images, mostly css based
• jquery tools tooltip
• form for newsletter signup

Still two weeks after Hurricane Sandy people in hard-hit areas are struggling to recover their homes in many places in New Jersey, Long Island and in neighborhoods like Greenpoint, Redhook, and Staten Island. Our hearts are broken for the losses of so many suffered so widely. Thousands are still without power. Thankfully it is starting to warm up after the snowstorm in NE. Please try to help with the clean-up efforts.

The storm surge hit the Chelsea art galleries. The work of many artists and art dealers were destroyed. Many are working to reopen.
