Wes Lindberg ~ Infrared Art Photography

A week from today I’ll be hanging my show at the Hipp. Wow, how time flies! The summer is almost gone and I hardly completed my list of projects. I did have an opportunity to shoot some wonderful photos that may hang in the show. It’s a long story but one of my summer adventures included buying a “Vintage Sawmill”. I know what you’re wondering, why would a photograper/professor need a sawmill? Well I didn’t really need it but it’s not everyday that one comes your way. It include a tool shed, a 1954 school bus! The bus was overgrown and so was the sawmill and that made for some fun infrared photos. I’m still in the process of moving it, selling some as scrap and placing other parts as yard art. I’m not sure what I’ll do with all the extra pieces, but I’m having fun and that’s why I did it. For those very few that might want to know, it’s a Frick 00 Sawmill, with five 52.5″circular saw blades and runs on gas or electric via belt drive. The carriage is 20 feet long and the track is 66 feet of train rails. So needless to say, lots of heavy steel. I can’t say I didn’t get any exercise this summer, I’m a real weekend warrior! Well enough of that, I need to get back to printing and framing, the show is almost here. I hope to see you at the reception, August 29, 7-10pm.
