The Stuff Dreams Were Made Of....

I've had a slight obsession with vintage trailers lately. They were the things dreams were made of. Used going camping with the family, a place to rest after a long day of fishing, sitting around a glowing hot camp fire, marshmallows stuck on an old metal clothes hanger. Good memories...

One has to wonder what memories could this "Canned Ham" trailer tell.... Let your thoughts wonder.

This is a new image that has not been printed yet, however it is destined to be printed on gloss metal soon, and put into a vintage barn wood frame.

"Decaying Dreams" and You're Invited

You're invited to my solo B/W show coming up...

“Decaying Dreams”

The “Salton Sea” was created between 1915-17 when the Coronado River broke through farmer’s dykes flowing into the Imperial Valley forming California’s largest lake. Over the years it has had its ups and down. Its heyday was in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. During that period hotels, yacht clubs, trailer parks, even planned housing was built. On any given day, sailing, sport fishing, swimming, and power boat racing could be seen. It was truly a playground with people coming from all over to the “Riviera of the West.” However today as the lake shrinks due to SoCal’s coastal cities becoming larger and not allowing Colorado water to replenish the lake, the communities around the sea are dying a slow death. These images are from my series named, “Decaying Dreams.”

I hope to see you there and please RSVP to: AMAUER@MILLERHULL.COM

A Black and White Kinda' Night... Salton Sea

"Decaying Dreams" sounds pretty bleak... On Saturday night the 25th I'll be having an exhibition of my "Decaying Dreams" museum B/W images from the Salton Sea. These are the artist proofs from my personal collection of a limited edition from the series. There will also be numerous other open studios along with the "Art On 30th" gallery show in the main gallery. Well..., that all sounded pretty stuffy, didn't it? Anyway, hope I see you there and you know I'm not a stuffy kinda' guy!

Here's the info: Ashton Gallery at Art on 30th, 4434 30th St, San Diego, CA. 92116. The show runs from 6pm to 8pm on March 25th. My studio is #4.
