I am continuing my lifelong committment to flim and darkroom printmaking. I have upgraded my largest Durst enlarger with the help of Jens Jensen at Durst-Pro USA to improve the speed and ease of printmaking. Films for the big cameras are getting hard to come by these days so there has been some stockpiling that has been needed as a hedge for future uncertain times. There still, in my view, is nothing more timeless and classic than the look and wall presence of a silver gelatin phtographic print.

I was able to do some field shooting in 2011 and in the early months of 2012. I worked in the Tofino area and the Pacific Rim National Park in British Columbia. I made some images on the Oregon side of the Columbia Gorge. I visited Mt.Rainier National Park in August and the Mt Hood area in December. I spent most of October in southern Utah around Bruce Canyon and in the Escalante Grand Staircase canyons. I was able to get into some places in the Escalante that have been on my wish list for over 20 years. Southern Utah was blasted by an early and cold fall storm when I arrived which made packing gear at 9000 ft quite challenging and many of the roads impassable for awhile. The aspens, which were in peak color, got blown out and stripped by the storm. In 2012, I have done some Oregon work in the Silver Creek/falls area and on the Oregon Coast. I have posted some work from these trips on the site in the New Work section. Enjoy!

The Gallery will be open consistently on Saturdays, 11 to 5, but we will be much more available for appointments over the summer.  Just call and we can likely be here to give you a tour.  We have many prints in inventory and now is a perfect time to add art to your wall spaces.  We are offering nice discounts for print work in inventory. 

I remain committed to film and darkroom photography.  I have upgraded some of my equipment to include a light weight 4×5 inch field camera and a major addition to my Durst enlarger system to greatly improve printmaking with the larger negatives.  Recent shooting trips have taken me to the Idaho panhandle, the Washington coast, North Vancouver Island, and the Columbia Gorge.  I have also continued with some studio figurative work with the usual lineup of talented models.  Some of these images have been posted in the New Work section of the website and more will be coming this summer.   

Since the last update I have done some field shooting and made some nice negatives.  I’ve been in the North Cascades National Park for some trips during the summer.  I packed my 8×10 camera up, not so easy, Easy Pass in August, only to be greated by driving snow and wind.  I was in central interior Alaska and on the coast at Valdez this summer also only to have poor visibility from smoke from huge tundra fires.  I finally got some great weather in the fall on a trip to the Idaho panhandle, in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness area.  I’ve also been continuing with some studio figurative work with some really talented models.

In June, we showed prints for a month in downtown Spokane at the Brick Wall Gallery.  It’s a beautiful space!  We have also continued our philantropy/non-profit work by supporting the Coastal Conservation Association in the spring and the Washington Wilderness Coalition at their fall auction.  We encourage you to visit their web sites and learn about their efforts for environmental conservation.    

I have done some location shooting since our last update.  In the fall, I made some winemaker portraits and vinyard images in Walla Walla for our friends at Red Sky Winery.  After the shoot, I traveled to the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area in Eastern Oregon to shoot in the valley of the Lostine River.    Look for some black and white Lostine River images in the New Work section of the web site.  I also did some figurative work in an architectural setting in the gun battery ruins of Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island. 

The Gallery continues to support organizations that are involved in environmental conservation.  In the fall, we supported the Washington Wilderness Coalition with their annual auction.  Recently, we supported the auction of the Coastal Conservation Association. 

Please visit the Gallery over the summer.  We will be hanging new work on a monthly basis and many of the images from the website are displayed on a regular basis.

Steven has been spending a good amount of time developing Ilfochrome prints. We’ll be framing some of these and hanging them in the gallery soon.

On July 10th, Steven joined the Wilderness Society at the Olympic Sculpture Park to celebrate the beautiful North Cascades. Check it out when you are in town.

Seattle is beautiful right now, and it’s a great time to get your portrait taken. It’s a wonderful experience. Steven Fey will photograph you and your family in a setting of your choice in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It will be a treasure to last a lifetime.
