The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has acquired two large-format (100cm x 66cm) limited-edition analogue prints from my Blue Sky Days drone project for their permanent collection.
Notable artists represented in the Nelson-Atkins photography collection in Kansas City, Missouri include such prominent 20th-century names as Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Edward Weston, Charles Sheeler, André Kertész, Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Harry Callahan, Robert Frank, W. Eugene Smith, and Diane Arbus.
The analogue prints were created via a special process developed by Sebastiao Salgado’s long-time lab technician, Philippe Bachelier.
Digital files from my drone were meticulously turned into 4×5 inch negatives by Bachelier, then printed on a traditional gelatin-silver enlarger in Paris.

Live television interviews about my Blue Sky Days drone photo project were broadcast on France 24 on September 4, 2015. The interview in French was conducted by Louise Dupont, and the English interview was lead by Eve Jackson.
We spoke about the rise of drones and also discussed the global reaction to the photo of Aylan Kurdi, a Syrian refugee boy who drowned while attempting to travel from Turkey to Europe.

The New York Times Magazine reviewed my Blue Sky Days drone project in their July 26, 2015 Sunday Magazine. The article was written by award-winning novelist and Times photography critic Teju Cole:
“…The slippage between the domestic and the threatening aspects of aerial surveillance is something the photographer Tomas van Houtryve has explored in his powerful project ‘‘Blue Sky Days...’’
...Houtryve makes it clear that the people in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia or Afghanistan who are killed by American drones are also just like this. With simple, vivid means, Houtryve brings the war home…”
