About the Item

Sepia Toned Landscape of Net in Water and Reflection from Tonga 17 x 17, edition 5 of 25 Silver Gelatin Print, unframed David Halliday's series consists of sepia-toned still lives of antique objects from Tonga, a Polynesian sovereign state and archipelago comprising 169 islands, of which 36 are inhabited. He took these still lives during his trip there in 1997. About the Artist: David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm colors and sepia tones he uses in his printing.

Mirrored Lake (Sepia tone Landscape Photograph taken in Louisana)
By David Halliday
Located in Hudson, NY
sepia toned silver gelatin print, edition 1 of 25 17.5 x 17.5 inches unframed, 30.5 x 30.5 inches framed Frame is dark brown wood molding, 8 ply antique white mat and glass Sepia toned silver gelatin print of a serenely still lake in Louisiana When Time Stands Still. The Photographs of David Halliday Whether traveling to a foreign land, wandering through a neighborhood marketto shop for food, or engaging in convivial conversation with a friend at his home,David Halliday is easily charmed, intrigued, excited, or amused by all that surroundshim. An artful documenter of life, Haliday uses his camera as a tool for recording themultitudinous special moments that capture his attention. Once in the darkroom, heeditorializes his finds, subtly embellishing each image until it somehow evokes thesensation that led him to photograph a subject in the first place. With the exception of a series of platinum print portraits, Halliday produces all of hisphotographs as sepia toned silver gelatin prints. Both processes are highly trad-itional and, in requiring that the artist avoid the use of any color other than sepia,they stand in sharp contrast to splashier modes such as Cibachrome, Polaroid, or digitally produced Iris prints […]. For Halliday, the warm tones afforded by age-old processes reflect his desire to reclaim the past or cherish the present in the form of soft, tranquil, frozen moments...
