1Matters, Gallery SHow

Urban Landscape, Yellow Taxi

It is time for my annual visit to Toledo, Ohio where I present a gallery show to benefit 1Matters.Org, a group that works with the homeless to create domestic autonomy. They are also heavily involved with homeless veterans, helping them to put a roof over their heads - something our politicians might want to pay attention to.

The link below will take you to the media for this show, as well as the website if you would like to learn more about 1Matters and the work they are doing. This organization is completely volunteer except for one part time programming manager.

Working at scanning and printing more rock and roll images over the past few weeks...Trying to get a few more images for the Music and iPhone show that opens in Toledo in October. As I mentioned over on my iPhone-antics blog I have been working with iPhone applications on the Mac and created the background for today's image in Photo Artista Haiku - blended back with the original in Photoshop CS5.

Zion - Weeping Rock

Zion National Park, Weeping Rock

Very quick post today - continuous water 'weeps' out the the Weeping Rock. This water comes from Echo Canyon, one of Zion's many slot canyons. One of a few seepage areas in the park, and arguably the most impressive one....The water has been on these rocks for about 1200 years.....a bit of a hie but well worth it....bring plastic bags....

New York Subway Impression

New York Subway

So much goes on in the subway system in New York City....everyone moving quickly and directly to wherever they may be going. For someone not from NY this can be a daunting experience but as a New Yorker the subway provides the most direct, quickest form of transport for getting from one place to another...most just keep their heads down and keep moving forward.....this image is what my camera saw as I walked up the stairs at the West 3rd Street station in Greenwich Village....

This image is from my 'No Look - Point and Shoot' series.....

Johnny Winter

Johnny Winter, Madison Square Garden

This image made at Madison Square Garden in the early 70's....Note that they had people sitting right on the stage - such a different time in live music......not only that but you cold shoot the entire show and use flash if necessary...I was never much of a flashy on camera guy but in this case it helped to show the folks on stage......killed the stage lighting but had to get the shot...

New York Street Festival

New York Street Festival Photographer

Today's image from a New York Street Fair, circa 1975. When I first walked in to this slice of New York life the photographer was facing the two women seemingly ready to expose a Polaroid...Just as I was ready to click the shutter he turned and gave me the look......happy he did - makes the Minor White quote below all the more relevant...

'No Matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen'.......Minor White

Transferred to the digital world using an Imacon Scanner.... and thanks to my friend Jolene for some photoshop image management tips....these old negatives can be a bear....

Gallery Open

Gallery, Mercer Street, NYC

This image is from the 'way back time machine', circa 1968, back when cameras used black and white and color film. For those who do not remember this phrase it comes from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show...They used the time machine to go back and alter historic moments....check out their Wikipedia page....

This photograph was made on Prince Street between Mercer and Greene Street. What we need is a new word for 'capture'...sorry so old school around here...

This image will be part of my gallery show opening on September 10th at the Renaissance Fine Art and Design Gallery in Carmel, Indiana. The show title is 'Music, iPhone and other Neighborhoods' and will have images from my 45 year addiction to the camera...From Indiana the show will move to the 20 North Gallery in Toledo, Ohio. This will be the first time many of these images will be printed and displayed...
