Photographs Off the Wall: Jan. 8 – Feb. 2, 2025

Soho Photo Gallery, 15 White Street, NYC. 1/8 – 2/2, 2025.
Reception: Thursday, January 9, 6 – 8 pm.

Accordion

Join Soho Photo for an exhibit of handmade books, digital publications, photo card sets, and other photographic objects beyond the traditional matted and framed print hanging on the wall. I will be exhibiting 11 accordion folded prints.

From my artist statement: “These hand-made accordion folded prints are images from my ‘Holgarama’ series. The folding allows for longer imagery than I typically exhibit, as they are each made from a full roll of medium format film, instead of the usual half of a roll. The pictures were shot using a $20 plastic camera (that is no longer made) called the Holga. The long overlapping images are created by only partially advancing the film between exposures – the overlapping occurs in the film itself.”

Each image is about 4 feet wide if forced flat. Fully folded they fit into a clear cigarette box sized package, with a ‘Lucky Strike’ inspired label (just for fun). They can be displayed fanned out on end; the zig-zag creates a piece about 24 inches in width.

Below are the available images:

Panel on Panography, an ATOA Webinar: Oct 21, 2024, 7pm

Webinar on Zoom, Monday 10/21/2024, 7pm EST.

I was one of three photographers on a webinar panel sponsored by Artists Talk on Art (ATOA) on Monday October 21 at 7pm EST. The topic of this particular panel was “Panography”, and it was moderated by NYU Gallatin Professor Lawrence Wheatman.  Panography is a photographic technique that involves assembling multiple overlapping photographs into a single image. 

Showing and discussing our panographic photographs were Lawrence, Naphtali Visser, and myself.  I presented the many overlapping multiple exposure images I shot with a plastic film camera called the Holga. In my case the overlapping occurred “in-camera”, and then the negatives were scanned and printed digitally.

SEE THE RECORDING –HERE–.

And I’m happy to add that these recordings will be sent to the Smithsonian Institution archives!

Seeing Red: May 29 – June 23, 2024

Solo Show

Soho Photo Gallery, 15 White Street, NYC. 5/29 – 6/23/24.
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 30, 6 – 8 pm


 
Red is my favorite color. The silver lining to the city installing dedicated bus lanes on my neighborhood bus route (and taking away my beloved just-around-the-corner bus stop… and LOTS of parking spaces)… is that they painted these lanes red. Granted not as vibrant a red as shown in these images, but a pretty good proximity. Most of these pictures are of their process of painting these lanes, and I’ve included a few other ground surfaces that share the color red.

These images are part of my broader ongoing series of things found on the ground.

Note that these will be larger prints than I’ve done before (with the exception of the long Holga pieces) and printed on fine-art paper.


Most of the subjects in my various “looking down” series are ephemeral in nature… that what I am shooting will likely be gone or changed at any moment.  I enjoy the element of chance in my work; I never know what I will find.  To me few subjects are out of bounds; what might be considered trash to others is for me an opportunity for self-expression and the surprise of unexpected beauty.

Brand New: Feb 1 – 29, 2024

Online Group Show
Treat Gallery, treatgallery.org, 2/1 – 2/29/24.

From the Treat Gallery Website: “Reinvention is no stranger to the contemporary art world. Artists have had to pivot repeatedly, most recently; during the recession, the coronavirus pandemic, and the rise of artificial intelligence. To reinvent is to change (something) so much that it appears to be entirely new, or to take up a very different job or way of life. To re-establish something as new is to begin a process, or make significant changes or improvements to (something.) Words commonly associated with reinvention are: transform. disrupt. redesign. experiment. modify. reclaim. Artists were challenged to create and submit new work following these visual or conceptual guidelines.”

Exhibitors include: Alina Andriushchenko, Allen Morris, Amie Hollmann, Blaine White, Cheryl Safren, Daria Burobina, Farras Abdelnour, Jia Hao, John Romi, Luke Woodford, Marni Mutrux, Matt Perrin, Michael N. Meyer, Randall Steinke, Sabrina Skinner and Susan Bowen.


The below two images from my spills series are included in the show.

Mexican Gate Doors

 

 
These are doors in storefront roll-down gates in Mexico City. I’d never seen such before so picked it for a series. Above shows them in video format; below as a grid of images.
