There are actually two excellent interviews with portfolios out there right now with me. One is with El Palacio Magazine about my history and my b&w art images in the upcoming "Contemplative Landscape" show in Santa fe. Unfortunately you would have to buy the magazine (http://www.elpalacio.org/) to see it.
The other is online (http://blog.daminion.net/interview/with-architectural-photographer-kirk-gittings/) and focuses on my commercial architectural photography.

The daminion story was very nice. I'm usually not a big fan of question/answer type articles, but they did it right. Congrats.

Thanks. Yes I was pleasantly surprised too.

Yes, that's a fine interview, and with nice illustrations, too.
I have seldom gotten excited about architectural photography; most of it that I have seen seems kind of cut-and-dried, technically excellent, but without much soul. Yours, on the other hand, still seems to show the excitement of the visual moment that every good photograph should have.
I do wish i could get to your Santa Fe show.
Congratulations!

Thanks so much for those kind words Eric.
Just for the record the show (http://media.museumofnewmexico.org/events.php?action=detail&eventID=774) in Santa Fe is a group show of 24 photographers and will be up for 14 months. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. Skip dpwn towards the bottom past the list and you will find some verbiage by and about me. The magazine interview I mentioned above is a separate expanded piece-they chose to write about 3 of us from the exhibit..

I found the listing for the show. 14 months means there is a slim possibility that I might get there to see it. I loved my one visit to NM a couple of years ago, and Santa Fe is about the most appealing city I've ever visited (although Chaco Canyon comes close ;) ). I'll have to start working on my better half to begin planning another expedition.
