Under The R #1, 2019

“In just three weeks, the photography world as we know it has radically changed. A big part of that change is the loss of our access to work on the walls. The Los Angeles Center of Photography has a beautiful exhibition, Project 2020, hanging on its walls and unfortunately it can’t be fully appreciated. So, we are sharing it here.”—Aline Smithson, Lenscratch.

My Red Hook series is part of this exhibition, one of twelve projects selected from nearly 200 hundred portfolios, and I’m delighted that it’s featured on the Lenscratch blog. The exhibition was curated by Douglas Marshall, with my work being showcased alongside that of Harvey Castro, Tracy L. Chandler, Elisa Ferrari, Matthew Finley, Mimi Fuenzalida, Donna Garcia, Rohina Hoffman, George Katzenberger, Ann Mitchel Jenna Mulhall-Brereton and David Wolf.

Exhibition, South East Center of Photography

Two photographs have been selected by Paula Tognarelli (Executive Director/Curator, Griffin Museum of Photography) for the exhibition Black, White & More. The exhibition will be on view at the South East Center for Photography (Greenville, South Carolina), March 6-28, 2020.

Yabba-Dabba-Doo #1 (top left) is part of a series entitled, Roadtrip.  I photographed the Roadtrip series in 2019, while traveling around the southern rim of The Grand Canyon, and the desert-and surrounding Sedona, Arizona. Yabba-Dabba-Doo #1 was photographed at an abandoned amusement park on Hwy #64, the long road leading to the Grand Canyon.

Shadows in Red Hook (bottom left) is particularly meaningful to me as it was one of the first images that I had photographed during my  two-year+ photographic journey in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

More information about the exhibition can be found on the South East Museum of Photography website.
