ART/LIFE... WHAT IS IT?
In the 20 years since Editor and Publisher Joe Cardella wrote ART/LIFE's opening statement, it has become an extraordinary publication in which nearly every page is an original work of art. Each month's issue presents a diverse array of media, including collages, original prints and photos, dimensional objects, poetry and prose. Although ART/LIFE limits its circulation to only 100 copies, its impact is notable. It is collected by such major institutions as New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Getty Trust in Santa Monica. It is also in many private collections, archives and museums throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. Today, ART/LIFE is the best selling periodical at the Guggenheim Museum bookstore in Soho, New York

A chromogenic print (from the Greek meaning color-forming) refers to a broad range of color processes. The print is made from a color transparency (a slide) or a color negative. The print contains three emulsion layers, each sensitized to one primary color: blue, yellow, and red. Each layer remembers a different color of the original image. Chromogenic prints are made using traditional darkroom techniques.

 DAVID RIVAS IS A FINE-ART PHOTOGRAPHER LIVING IN VENTURA CALIFORNIA.
The subjects for his photographs are captured on film with the lens of his Nikon camera. They are enlarged from the negatives using traditional darkroom techniques making chromogenic or Type-C prints.
 ORACLE
The resulting prints are anything but traditional. The bold and colorful abstract images allow the viewer to engage with the art on their own terms, bringing their own personal experience to it and suggesting their own interpretation.
