WELCOME to The Gallery on Grace Street

Hello. I am glad you stopped by for a visit. I am Jon Julian, and The Gallery on Grace Street is the online showplace for my fine art photography. I have been fascinated by pictures for as long as I can remember, and by photography since age twelve or so.
(I will admit also to a fascination with cameras). My work has appeared in the Photographers' Forum Best of Photography Annuals (1990 and 1991) and in annual North Carolina Photographers' shows in Raleigh, North Carolina. During my time as an exhibiting member of Associated Photographers of Winston-Salem (North Carolina) my work hung in a variety of shows and other venues in my area. For several years my work as a musician has left me little time to photograph and print or to prepare showings, but the digital age, as applies to both making photographs and to presenting them for viewing, has opened up some new and refreshing possibilities for me. Many of the photographs were made while on concert tours as a part of my musical career, and one of our concerts a few years ago was a lecture-concert looking into the similarities (as noted by Ansel Adams) between realizing a photographic print from a negative, and a musical peformance from a score. So I find the two forms of expression to be quite complementary and helpful to each other.

WHAT'S HERE, and WHAT'S NEW

Here at the Gallery on Grace Street, I offer inkjet digital prints of my photographs in two smaller sizes, matted; in a good display size for a larger wall, ready for your mat and frame; and as note-cards, which I call Gallery Cards. In the CARD SHOP you will also find Christmas Cards, based on the ones that I make each year to send to our family and friends.
The photographs are in the MAIN GALLERY, where a click on a picture will give you a larger version to look at, along with information about the picture - the story of the photograph, or maybe of its locale, or perhaps the equipment I used. OWNING AND CARING for the prints is the place to look for suggestions about keeping your prints looking good over time, about what materials I am currently using, and other pertinent topics.
So stay a while and look around, and come back often.
 

I personally print and assemble everything available through the store at this site. Something to remember as you look through these photographs and cards, is that I print only to order. So whatever you have from my gallery, was in a real sense made for you. There may be a few or many others in existence, depending on the popularity of the scene, but there will always be the sense of the unique about them, and you will know the month and year in which they were made (except in the case of Christmas cards).
 

For a wider range of items for gifts or your own enjoyment, from framed prints to cards to mugs, some of my work is available at RedBubble and at QOOP. You will enjoy taking a look at what they have to offer, and at the fine art available there.

A book of the photographs in my Show "Elements" at Salem College in late Summer of 2008 is available through blurb.

The "Music" link in the upper left corner of the page will take you to our site for woodwind music for the Church and for education. "The Market" is the place to go to shop for a wider variety of items and sevices.

A special Welcome! to visitors from Associated Artists of Winston-Salem.
