There’s not a whole of useful information about the first ever New York Photo Festival available on the event’s website beyond the obvious. It’s going to be held in DUMBO from May 14–18. It’s curated jointly by Martin Parr, Lesley Martin, Tim Barber and Kathy Ryan. It involves four shows, all kinds of awards and things, lectures and various other proceedings. It’s going to be great is my point and now I have one more reason to look forward to it; I’m going to be in it. Tim Barber is including a picture of mine his show for the occasion, “Various Photographs.” So that’s pretty special, right? There will be more information at some point, probably. I’ll pass it along.

The New York Photo Festival 2008 Featuring… Me

Peter Voelker put on a pretty terrific show yesterday. His Meow Meow house gallery was packed wall to wall with people at the peak of Shake It to the Ground last night and I think it’s safe to say a good time was had by all.

I got to meet a whole bunch of photo friends from the interweb including Pete (of course), Andrew, Coley and Daniel. But the list goes on and on.  think the Baltimore City Paper may have popped by for a visit.

The whole thing was a resounding success and has inspired me to do something along the same lines. I hereby announce the creation of Secret Gallery. Shh, don’t tell.

Good Times

From today’s New York Times:

No matter how much they try to kill it, the Polaroid is still beloved by art stars and amateurs alike. Tonight, as part of the party crew LVHRD’s ongoing cultural battles, three artists — Jonathan Harris, whose work is currently hanging in MoMA; Joseph O. Holmes, a street photographer represented by the Jen Bekman gallery; and Elizabeth Weinberg, who specializes in shooting indie rockers —will stitch together their Polaroid shots in a live-action photo montage competition. Because the event celebrates the old-fashioned art of visual storytelling, the crowd is — somewhat ambiguously — encouraged to dress like grandmas. Also, there’s an open bar

In Baltimore? Come on Out

Hey, LA readers: if you’re looking for something rad to do Saturday night you should head by Shotgun Space for the opening of Nature Morte, a show examining “humankind’s relationship to the natural environment,” featuring the work of fabulous photographer friend Alana Celii! I’ll be checking the sign-in book, and I don’t see you’re name in there you’re going to be in soo much trouble.

Nature Morte

Update: I managed to get into the show at about 11:00 pm and it was great. A serious scene, packed with people but I managed to find Amy and Alana’s work amid the chaos.

So this would be the first time I’ve ever sold a print to someone who wasn’t a friend or relative. I’m glad that milestone could occur as part of the MWO launch, and the money will go to charity. Also, I didn’t realize how profane my speech is until reading back. Sorry, Mom.
