Summer Exhibition

So the Black & White opening went really well! I'm glad everything came together so well and the show looks great! If you haven't seen it yet, please go, BWAC is open on Saturdays and Sundays 1 - 6 PM and the exhibition runs until August 21st. As I've said my panel is # 112 upstairs on the left hand wall. All of my photos on display were taken in Italy in the spring of 2008.

Here are some shots of the opening and my panel.

Black & White

Hey there, hope everyone is having an awesome 4th of July weekend! I've just dropped off my stuff at BWAC for the summer show titled "Black & White." I'm really excited about this one since I've never shown these photographs before but you may have seen some of them because they are in my various Facebook albums. All of the images I chose were taken in Italy, Tuscany to be more specific. These are all digital photographs that I printed and framed and I think they look great. The opening of "Black & White" is on July 16th so I hope to see you there. Here's a preview of the work in the show. I'm upstairs on panel 112 (again) hopefully it'll prove lucky and I'll sell some more pieces.

Old School

Kickin' the summer off old school. This piece was originally a sort of performance piece with me clicking the slide projector in time with the music. It was made for my senior HS photo final and was chosen to be shown at the LaGuardia HS Art Awards. I finally scanned in all the slides and re-created the show in iMovie. Here's the result. The music is The Beach Boys "All Summer Long"

More Photos From My iPod

Some more images taken with my iPod. Again all of them shot in New York, most of the in Brooklyn save the last which was taken near B&H off 9th Ave and 33rd street or 34th street.

I'm excited for BWAC's summer show "Black and White" so I might print some of these up for that exhibition.

Backyard Images

All of these images shot in my backyard in Bklyn, NY.

This one reminds me of a Japanese Woodblock print

More Instagram & Hipstamatic Images

More Images! All in New York so far.

Instagram & Hipstamatic

Just messing around with the various photo apps on my Ipod. I Might make small prints of these. All of these images were shot in Chelsea, more specifically 20th street between 8th and 9th.

BWAC Convergence

Hey, Sorry it's been so long, I've been busy with interning and real life (and Reel Life) but I'm back with some fresh work.

This year's first BWAC show is Convergence, up until June 12th. I didn't follow the theme this time'round but I did put up some cute little cyanotypes. I loved the blue color against the raw wood of the frames I chose. The objects I chose were mostly little cocktail stirrer/garnish things that I've been collecting for years. Some of the other objects I used were little metal knights, a wooden "C" from when I was a kid, and a broken shell. I actually sold the one with the knights! Here are some pics.

Also I'm super psyched to announce that I'm going to Barcelona in August with my BF, be prepared for a slew of new photography (and maybe some sketches) after I get back!

San Francisco

So I'm back from my mini-break in San Francisco, which was incredible. It was probably the best weekend I've ever had. The first full day we were there we drove up to Wine Country-- Napa Valley and we went to two wineries. the first an ultra-modern and chic winery, Artesa, which was actually built into he side of a hill. they had a terrace with breath taking views and excellent wine. The second winery was modeled on a medieval castle/Italian Villa, Castello di Amorosa was so much fun to explore. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the torture chamber they had because we didn't have time to take the tour. We couldn't have had better weather, mid sixties for the end of January was pretty amazing especially since NY was getting inundated with yet more snow. On the way back we took the very circuitous but gorgeous Route 1 and it took about 3 hours longer than expected, but I got some amazing photos.

That night we went to the Edwardian Ball & Faire, a kind of elegant steampunk tribute to author/illustrator Edward Gorey. Everyone was decked out in turn of the century regalia with a futuristic punky twist. It was incredible, I really wish I had brought my camera.

The next day we just drove around the city and explored different neighborhoods. Driving down Lombard street was a little scary and we had a blast. Here are some of my favorite images I shot during the trip.

New electronics and fun art stuff

Hey so I got some mega cool xmas gifts. A new digital SLR and a nifty scanner. Now I can make new things and takes images of them!! Today I've been playing with my new toys, here's some older work that I've scanned.

Also later this week I'll be going on a mini break to San Fransisco and I plan on taking a on of pics with my new camera, so watch out for new material!

I also plan on scanning a bunch of my negatives (as soon as I find them) an uploading some more of my photo work to this blog.
