Unique collection of Clyde Keller photo art prints which have a dual edged meaning or visual paradox. Clyde has drawn from a variety of film and digital source material spanning nearly 45 years. It is a journey into a creative world where satire, concurrent coincidences, double entendre and intriguing pairs happily inhabit the same space.

The Doubles Portfolio reflects upon Clyde's penchant for the unusual circumstance and as a found art relying on his documentary background and love for the reportage approach-- or as moments unobtrusively observed.

The Old Worthington Pioneer Gravestone, Clyde Keller photo

The Old Worthington Pioneer Gravestone
Historic cemetery, Washington County, Oregon

Graveyards figured largely into my pictorial landscapes from the late 1960s throughout the next decade. They were incorporated into various publishing and photography projects with a bias towards their historical relevance and pictorial splendor. The Worthington 1969 image remains a favorite, taken at a family pioneer cemetery very near the end of day. The light is revealing of the granite gravestone and the Queen Anne's Lace making them seem to do a ballet of sorts against the shadowy rural background which includes an older wood frame barn-- all are frozen in time against the backdrop of rapid change. It is a meditation upon the past all too quickly forgotten, brought out from the darkness to be remembered once again.

My archival giclee print offers an exquisite range of tone and brilliancy faithfully capturing this historic Skoggin Valley, Oregon subject. The wide up-close view of the historic Gravestone is rendered in an almost 3D like perspective that is most inviting the eye. The detail is enhanced by the use of an ultra sharp 55mm "Micro" Nikkor lens.

Clear Sleeved on Foam Core
Shipped Flat, Insured with Tracking

Here is an image taken from the street in the late afternoon in my neighborhood with fascinating textures, shadows and forms. This just struck me as having a delicate balance with rubble seemingly in opposition to the "Mars-Like Canyon" (Mariner Valley, also known as the 2,500 long, Valles Marineris Canyon) dashing laterally across the lower center of the print. The long vertically cast shadows set up a delightful contrasting visual rhythm. This type of image changes rapidly, so the impulse to shoot had to be decisive... no lingering with the onset of fading light. Please Enjoy!

Watching the Bessie Butte Firestorm, Clyde Keller photo art print

Watching the Bessie Butte Firestorm
Bessie Butte, Deschutes National Forest Wildland Fire

This is a view of the No. 18, Bessie Butte Wildfire which burned in mixed conifer and sagebrush about 3,800 acres. The photo depicts onlookers who were hypnotically drawn to the approaching fire and to the possible destruction of property 4 miles southeast of the Bend city limits. The fire (which did not destroy these homes) was contained on July 26th was human-caused. The Booth Fire (which burned concurrently) filled the Deschutes County area with dense smoke for weeks. On August 20, 2003 the burning fires became a Federally Declared Disaster in the Deschutes National Forest, near Sisters, Oregon. The 2003 Booth Fire ravaged over 60,000 acres of old growth forest by September 20th. This magnificent forest had withstood many smaller fires until this controversial catastrophe left its mark on the land.

William Burroughs with Libation, Ken Kesy bash, Clyde Keller photo

William Burroughs with Libation
With Portland, Oregon poet, Marty Christiansen
Kesey Poetical Hoo-Haw - June 9, 1976

Photographed in front of Ken Kesey's barn home on the day of the literary bash. Pictured is Burroughs holding his libation with pal poet, Marty Christensen. Our latest encounter with Marty Christiansen came in 2003 when he performed his poem, "Bats" on stage at the Bagdad Theater and Pub in Portland, Oregon. The event celebrated the publishing of "Spit In The Ocean #7 All About Kesey" edited by Ed McClanahan. Burroughs, who died at age 83 in 1997 from a heart attack, figured largely at the1976 Poetic Hoo-Haw, reading from his celebrated work, "Naked Lunch." Please view other photos from this Kesey collection which includes portraits of Portland poet, Walt Curtis who also read at the 1976 Poetic Hoo-Haw and at the 2003 event held at the Bagdad Theater.

The print offers considerable graphic depth augmented by cool and warm gray quadtones in the best tradition of black and white fine art printing. The B&W negative from which this print is made is in pristine condition with little if any deterioration.
