February 2010 First Wednesday Salon Artists’ Bios:
Daniel W. Coburn is a contemporary photographer whose visually arresting images have garnered national and international praise. Selections from his body of work have been featured in prestigious exhibitions, including Top 40 at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art and the National Competition at SOHO Photo Gallery in New York. His photographic works are held in the permanent collections of the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, the Mariana Kistler-Beach Museum of Art, the Mulvane Museum of Art and the Moraine Park Museum. Daniel has published two monographs of his work: Between Earth and Sky and Rediscovering Paradise. His most recent body of work, OBJECT:AFFECTION, represents a photographic study on the process of self-objectification. Coburn received his BFA with an emphasis in photography from Washburn University and is currently studying photography as a graduate student at the University of New Mexico.
James Dietsch graduated from the University of New Mexico with a BFA in photography and printmaking in 1978. Becoming seriously ill from contact with photography and printmaking chemicals, Dietsch ceased contact with photographic chemicals putting his photography endeavors on hold. After 25 years of worked full-time in the emergency department of a psychiatric hospital and part-time at KNME-TV, and writing fiction to satisfy his creative needs, Dietsch retired. With the advent of digital photography, Dietsch started making photographs again. He took classes at UNM from Joyce Neimanas, where she invited him to help for the following nine semesters until she retired in 2010. Dietsch received a commission from the City of Albuquerque to make Light in Albuquerque, a suite of ten photographs that celebrate the southwest light in the city. This series of photographs now resides at The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History and at Albuquerque’s Lomas / Tramway Public Library on permanent exhibition. Dietsch currently has photographs in the group exhibition Shadows at SCA Contemporary Art in Albuquerque. For more information, please www.deech.net
David Grant Noble is a photographer and writer. Raised in New England, he began photographing seriously in 1962 while serving in Vietnam. Later, he documented Mohawk Indian steelworkers in New York City and Ojibwa wild rice harvesters in Wisconsin and Minnesota. As a writer, photographer, and editor, he has produced ten books and been represented by galleries in New York, Santa Fe, San Francisco, and other cities. His latest book, In the Places of the Spirits (SAR Press, 2010), features duotone plates of ancient cultural landscapes in the American Southwest, a substantive text, and Foreword by N. Scott Momaday.
