gallery show update

in

  In June, when I have my gallery show, I plan on donating a portion of any print sales to the Children's Tumor Fund.  They are the leading not-for-profit dedicated to fighting neurofibromatosis.  This is genetic disorder that I have as well as my daugter.  (It also effects several other family members.)  In the mean time, all my images on exposure-manager will be eligible for that donation. 

Work

in

   After a long hard day of work, I grabbed my camera and went into Boston to take pictures to help clear my head.  It did wonders!  It was one of the first times I took out my 50 mm lens out and loved it.  It was hard to use a fixed focal lens at first but it was kind of fun after a while.

The girl pictured here is Kathy. Her mother and my wife went to college together.  More pictures to follow!

 

GALLERY SHOW!

in

I am pleased to announce that I have a gallery show coming up.  It is going to be at the Peabody Public Library during the month of June.  My images of machinery and of urban landscapes are going to be on display.  I am working on getting a room for a reception at the library so friends, family and fans of my work can come by meet with me.  More details to follow.

Arno Rafael Minkkinen

in

Thursday night I went to another lecture at the PRC to hear Arno Rafael Minkkinen speak.  Those of you who do not know him, he is a photographer who inserts himself into the landscapes he is shooting.  His work is fantastic. (I got a signed book out of the deal as well.) If you want to check out his work, click here.

Vincent Laforet

  One of the instuctors from school showed me his work and I feel in love with it.  I came accross his website again today and I am still amazed. (http://laforetvisuals.com)  3 images come to my mind that are fantaic.

  • A Top of the Empire State Building.  (Not for anyone with a fear of heights.)
  •  New York City Blackout  Taken during a black out in 2003
  • Brooklyn cab-  A picture of flatbush just after a snow storm.

All of these are arial images.  When I hit the big time I plan on purchasing the Empire State Building image for the wall of my loft and/or studio.
