I got married this summer, and recently got back from my honeymoon. While on my honeymoon in Florence, I visited the wonderful Museo Nazionale Alinare della Fotografia.

<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">“Morgante” interweaves the personal stories of individuals linked by a common denominator: being dwarfs. “Morgante”, ironically nicknamed the Giant in the poem of the same name by Louis Pulci, was the most famous of the five dwarfs at the court of the Medicis in Florence. According to the codes of the time, the dwarf Morgante was portrayed as a “monstrum”. Thus dehumanized and stripped of his personality, he appears in paintings of Bronzino and sculptures of Giambologna. Progressively he becomes an idea, an archetype, and a looking glass through which “the human family” will regard diversity for centuries to come. Using the literary and artistic inspiration photographer Nicola Lo Calzo has created “Morgante”, a moving gallery of portraits depicting the universe of little people, a highly marginalized category in some African countries. Often associated with witchcraft, people with dwarfism live in a semi-clandestine state, subjected daily to all kinds of psychological violence. Lo Calzo photographed his models in private situations, at home, at work or in the street. In Lo Calzo’s photographs, Fidel, Kwedi, Babel are not victims of their size. On the contrary, they are the primary agents of their lives, protagonists of the scene represented. In these terms, the photographer questions the conventional representation of diversity, self-esteem and self-acceptance: his models gaze directly into the camera as if intentionally searching the eyes of their viewers. They fully assume the role of actors and directors of their own lives. In some African societes still deeply polarized around the concept of normal and abnormal, good and evil, tradition and modernity, “Morgante” is an invitation to break this archetype of “monster” and come to full recognition of diversity</span>. </span>

But as image titles for Ruben Natal San-Miguel's portfolio Urban Water: Inner Child, they portray the feelings of a distinctly urban personal view on life in New York City.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />Like the photos in Helen Levitt's 1965 iconic photobook, "A Way of Seeing" this portfolio too achieves that rare balance of sentiment without being sentimental, while always maintaining an objective distance. The casual observer of these photos is almost dazzled by their poetry, and can easily miss the harsher realities of inner city urban life masked by the surface warmth and joy. Here individuals play in water from sprinklers to fire hydrants and by doing so slow down for just a moment and become carefree.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />In Natal San-Miguel's images people smile, leap and frolic in the water to cool down and to have enjoyment. In many images there is a feeling of intense emotion, joyful color and the exploration of how sun reflects on the figure in water at different times of the day. Artists dating back to the 19th century Impressionist movement derived from Claude Monet’s painting Impression, Sunrise, have long focused their artistic eye on capturing the ever changing colors of water in light. Now, in the 21st century world, Natal San-Miguel continues this tradition with the use of silhouettes and shadow to create magical worlds where water ripples with light underneath changing colors of blue to alternating shades of yellow and green due to the time of day. Many of these photographs exude an emotion of intense happiness and show a different side of the urban jungle, one that is pleasurable, where people relate positively with one another and where straightforward items such as a fire hydrant can be an endless source of community amusement. Natal San-Miguel’s work appeals to our inner child, one that finds beauty and joy in a city environment of hot summer sun and the shimmering water’s light.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;">- Michael Hoeh</span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:100%;" ><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:arial;" >FINCH & ADA will be representing Ruben's work at ART HAMPTONS 2011!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:arial;" >BOOTH #163</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:arial;" >July 7-11, 2011</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:arial;" >Sayre Park, Bridgehampton, NY</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Please visit the official Art Hamptons website for more information.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">www.arthamptons.com</span></span><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwbEqyoxQghfEz2HjhUJ-iaFrorTOi4F_aADjYtHvcUTqLdi_VjHMfaXNb6FVTtPJeEqG9uSqWGmdrFfchfhNk_UDC3XEaza4n_cjNbGnOFkcrvHHyUvh0KNRHlvi1W90MOS3-XAFzLxQ1/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-12+at+6.55.12+PM.png"><img style="cursor: pointer;

How did this project come about for you?</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">When I was 17 I lost a close friend to suicide. I visited his home the next day to spend time mourning with his family and a few other close friends. I remember sitting in the kitchen talking to his mother and seeing a clean up crew with an industrial vacuum cleaner walk down the hallway to his bedroom. After the crew had left I was allowed in to his room. Everything seemed eerily normal. As if the event had not really happened and it was just a terrible dream. However reality reminded me that indeed he was gone yet no evidence of this fact remained. The first time I got to see him was at the wake, dressed with makeup on laid in a coffin. I do not wish to have found him but witnessing nothing of the process and only seeing him again in a false and altered state did little to soften my grieving and shock of the loss.</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">Having lost your friend to suicide, was this project a difficult challenge to face?</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"></span>Honestly, no. I think one reason is for the last 16 years I have thought of my friend and replayed that day in my head as well as the preceding months searching for answers. And unfortunately he has not been the only person I have lost to suicide, illness or old age in the last 16 years. However having a first hand knowledge of loss both natural and traumatic has enabled me to deal with the emotions that arise when working on such a project. Secondly the camera acts as a barrier or shield in some ways. I am present and aware of what I am photographing yet with the camera in front of my eye I am able to keep a certain distance or detachment from the material for a period of time. I am heavily focused on my process and making sure the exposure is correct and the image is in perfect focus. However, I can typically only shoot two hours at a time due the smell of the stained textiles and the emotional/psychological exhaustion associated with the project.</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">I love a brave photographer, and bravery seems to definitely play a role in your work. How did you get the opportunity to work with these fabrics and surfaces? How did you manage to obtain the cause of death and age of the victims?</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">While working on my long term project, <i>Repository</i> several avenues of interest presented themselves. One of them being medical waste–specifically the stains and the material which had been deemed a biohazard. I had also been thinking a lot about the death of my friend when I was in high school and how the event shaped my view of the world and my own mortality. These two pieces led me to contact crime scene clean up crews.</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">Originally I had intended to photograph the scene before the crew cleaned it and just after. I was thinking about juxtaposing the event with the absence of the event. I was told I may or may not get access to do this. Upon my initial visit, the crew had just brought back material from the scene of a suicide. I was shown an oval shaped section of mattress which had been removed from the whole. Visually these smaller more concentrated fragments of evidence grabbed my attention. The stains from this person's passing transformed the ordinary beige mattress in to beautiful hues of yellow and red. Artists mention a moment when all things become clear, or an Aha! moment. This was mine.</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">Since I was first trained as a photojournalist I am always interested in facts. I like to include text where appropriate. In the case of <i>At the Hour of Our Death</i> I decided early on I wanted to title each photograph in the manner in which the person died. I kept notes and every time I went to photograph I would ask someone what they new about the fragment or piece I was photographing.</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">Walley Films recently filmed you working on <i>At the Hour of Our Death</i> for a documentary. I would imagine it is typically a quiet and methodical photographing process for you when you are working in the warehouse? Did having a film crew there affect your image making at all?</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">It was certainly the first time Iʼve had an audience watch me work. Typically I repeat the same process for each swatch I am photographing–its slow and I imagine a bit redundant if anyone were to stand there and watch me. However with the crew filming me I worked slower than normal and had to repeat certain steps so they could catch it from different angles. I would have to say it was a distraction and certainly changed my flow however I it was well worth it to have the Walleyʼs capture it on film. The five minute film was released in late October. It has already received over 55,000 views on Vimeo. The Walleys and I are thrilled about this.</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">I have received numerous comments on Vimeo and personal emails from doctors, EMTs, mothers and everyone in between. For the most part they have all been extremely positive and heartfelt responses to the work. Unfortunately I did receive one threatening email from a photographer who said I was a disgrace to the profession and told me to f*** off. Iʼve considered reporting his threat to the authorities but have yet to do so. Instead I might post all the beautiful emails Iʼve received along with this gentleman's hateful response on my blog.</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span">How has this project affected your life, as a person who has experienced loss, and as a photographer?</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">I do feel at times specifically with this series that I might be taking advantage of a tragedy. I know I had nothing to do with the events leading up to the personʼs death however I still find myself standing on and sometimes over my own moral line. Although I have made work about death is does not mean I am acting without an ounce of humanity. I sincerely feel for the families who have come home to find their loved one dead or dying. I also feel for the person who has passed on. I wonder who they were and what events lead to their death. I am more attached to the suicides and overdoses. I stand there half mesmerized by the stain left behind while the other half of me has to hold back tears as I think about how lonely and afraid this person must have felt in their final moments. I hope to finish the series by this summer. It requires tremendous logistical planning and Iʼve noticed it takes a mental and emotional toll on me. I do not know if what I am doing is crossing the line but something pushes me to continue making this hauntingly beautiful wo</span>rk</span>.</span></p><p class="page1"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></p></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmR0vcukr9a97qFQwOvd3m_nHRFvgfBFsaYl-LOMBvZC4149ZosrSIOOuJSsX0iB09kZDgNjd9bdvM17Ry72fA8PEUJlrtoH3L60xwEjg1Fs5gdUPDDA2H7pDV7NXzGWBSPhAPD6ItYU6o/s1600/2f35a40d78_tall_six_hundred.jpeg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

How do you manage to wear so many hats?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >I truly like what I do and try to be as organized as possible. The architectural background really helps to manage all the other duties. It helps for me to have a trained eye for detail and quality, which helps tremendously when art collecting, making photographs, looking, critiquing, curating and writing about art.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br />When did you first begin your interest in photography?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >My main interest in Photography truly became a force of nature after witnessing and surviving the September 11, 2001 attacks in NYC. From that day on, everything became extremely visual and of the moment. In my opinion, no other art media documents better than video and film, of the moment events and life like photography does.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br />Your photographic series, <span style="font-style: italic;">NY, NY: The Concrete Jungle</span>, has a historic street photographic feel to it, yet the images are poignant modern-day scenes in New York City, shot in color. Did you want the series to feel timeless for the viewer? What inspired this series for you?<br /><br /></span> <span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >What really inspired more than anything is the daily activity that I witnessed on my way home every day. I grew up sheltered and, I guess sort of in an upscale environment back home and here in the US while in college. I moved to Upper Manhattan because after 9/11 did not wanted to live in a high rise building, and Upper Manhattan has brownstones and a more community feel. Living within proximity of these inner city events and activities caught my eye and I decided that I wanted to document the activities and the transition over the years with the new development taking over.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The photography series is shot in color because; I wanted to demonstrate the vibrant and richness aspect of the life here. I think the work of Helen Levitt, Bruce Davidson, Roy Decarava and Zoe Strauss come to mind but, in all honesty I was doing it all along because it felt right capturing activities, people and places, and with the development renewal, they will be gone in a matter of years. So six years later after working on this project, I already can see dramatic changes.</span><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhTLndmTGj_9m18oRY9B8jm8felWmvOsd2XVjjqbest7nxoQT4tIPTqa-kNt4qolE_45QY6kVJ_bEoDLt_ev6Ek2M49Tau1BU8N47t67ZbBDd7XOU8H8B0fr3m0SiwthK_HDW9L0x2qvDb/s1600/miguel-01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhTLndmTGj_9m18oRY9B8jm8felWmvOsd2XVjjqbest7nxoQT4tIPTqa-kNt4qolE_45QY6kVJ_bEoDLt_ev6Ek2M49Tau1BU8N47t67ZbBDd7XOU8H8B0fr3m0SiwthK_HDW9L0x2qvDb/s400/miguel-01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501320688745681074" border="0" /></a><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Glamour Break, Harlem, 2009</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-VEniFeRfWW6Vb9_t_2Zb8yEmhYkPvUtZie896GOGR3RohAjtztczlpL52FFXyItExfcQ_hEscVAKsGW3BTxCPypuhgMsaPlA7ABDpn-6V27-LWnTy3RyneWOJe6yaam9X8TpSWfmaIxy/s1600/miguel-10.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-VEniFeRfWW6Vb9_t_2Zb8yEmhYkPvUtZie896GOGR3RohAjtztczlpL52FFXyItExfcQ_hEscVAKsGW3BTxCPypuhgMsaPlA7ABDpn-6V27-LWnTy3RyneWOJe6yaam9X8TpSWfmaIxy/s400/miguel-10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501325286069462162" border="0" /></a><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Beyond the Gates There Are Dreams, Harlem, 2009</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwwZUOsQfRB_vv3bCOvt3tGO7UUsLlUyA50Z9UYh-u9eOSz5HHl1Ce5t9PxCWR5-u7Ci68-aTZtBJsxKEIn3wOeY4j1l-AevCBLFTroBWUI1VjiHXHiP3ZFo-Nx1b3LfiEKBdadsMCNRaz/s1600/miguel-07.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 325px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwwZUOsQfRB_vv3bCOvt3tGO7UUsLlUyA50Z9UYh-u9eOSz5HHl1Ce5t9PxCWR5-u7Ci68-aTZtBJsxKEIn3wOeY4j1l-AevCBLFTroBWUI1VjiHXHiP3ZFo-Nx1b3LfiEKBdadsMCNRaz/s400/miguel-07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501324468288917650" border="0" /></a><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Playing By Heart, Upper Manhattan, 2008</span><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br />You recently curated <span style="font-style: italic;">The Naked Truth</span> at Hous Projects in New York City, and the exhibition has now moved to Los Angeles.

Their images uncover an engaging diversity of styles, where each artist explores unique possibilities of creativity and emotion. With their work they speak stories, they provoke new realities, they question mainstream thinking, and they share intimate feelings. This is their effort to disengage from the confinement of the self and become part of the story, to blend with the language of the message. This is their chance to break through the comfortable isolation of self-identity. This is an exploration of their own conscientiousness to reach and connect. This is their journey to pursue an intimate dialogue with the viewer.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">The cinematographic work of Aaron Hobson, the visual narrative of characters of Cornelia Hediger, the message against conformity by Susanne Junker, the delicate and intimate images of Kate Pollard, the dreamy pictures of Russell Joslin, and the picturesque photography of the Feltus Brothers. The work of [sp] seven selves demonstrates the beginning of infinite possibilities of self-portraiture, and elevates the significance of the artist with the pretension to become part of the pictorial narrative.</span> <br /></div><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />text by Miguel Garcia-Guzman</span></span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvNw8tjGn9nk-oxvXeUZ8HauRqO1nOd4zbWjHqn1lVL4MdmukSKQ-kbnwTayVkXeXx7Uojoe0V3OQMkF05G_YlaFpZEtslQdf2JDsMzDEiD_ODmAFjr1FpVOmzsiBuZ5kpZTCa0w7u_VVT/s1600/SPseven.jpg"><img style="display: block;

One part of the job that I have always loved is commissioning photography. Over years of looking at photographers’ portfolios, it often struck me that the pictures which photographers take for themselves are more exciting than those they are commissioned to do. People tend to be more inspired by love than by money (which I guess is obvious really). The more I talked to people about this, the more enthusiastic feedback I got, and that’s when the idea of creating a magazine about working for love took hold.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >What does the title “DayFour” mean?</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >In an ideal world, we could all work for a living three days a week, and on the fourth day we could work on what we want to: whatever we love or are excited or inspired by.

New people continuously find me, often through the website, http://dayfour.info/index.html. I am still amazed at how much incredible talent is out there, and how much passion for photography.

First and foremost, honesty. Much of my career has been spent working with fashion and beauty photography, and with portrait-making for commercial magazines, where a great deal of effort goes into “improving” on reality. But with DayFour, I seek out photography that engages with reality. I believe that the access to photography we have today is a privilege. The camera is an amazing tool for looking at the world and looking at ourselves, and the more openness we can bring to this looking, the better. </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >Occasionally this honesty can take the form of reportage – for the last issue, Polish photographer Aleksander Bochenek submitted a gory (but beautiful) story about a blood festival in Lebanon. There are any number of independent photography magazines that showcase fashion and beauty, but far fewer for reportage. However, the next issue, Ulysses II, is a day-in-the-life project, with contributors from around the world, and the very ordinariness of the subject-matter is its strength. My contributors had to acknowledge, ‘Well, it’s boring, there’s nothing going on here, but it’s my day, it’s my reality’ – and to shoot that reality. The best of them found ways to look at banal situations with fresh eyes.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >I like people who don’t wear rose-tinted glasses.

A theme is always something that is meaningful to me and that I want to get other people to debate, discuss, or think about. “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” is a phrase that has always resonated with me: I find as one gets older that it becomes more and more important to think about what you really want, what you need, what you actually can do without. </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >The show at theprintspace was the sixth DayFour exhibition. I’ve curated shows for most of our issues, and am already in discussions about the next exhibition, in London this autumn. The exhibitions and launch events are a way of extending the dialogue that the themes begin. And of course they are a way to have lots of fun with my wonderful contributors, who are the ones inspiring me to keep doing this!</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >Fiona Hayes</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">London June 2010<br /><br />www.dayfour.info</span><br /></span></span></span>Kate Pollardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02534939844424474602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968009354442083276.post-83367245505128288982010-06-17T12:01:00.008-04:002010-06-17T12:24:11.038-04:00Nicki Stager<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQV6RWyM0M45uxECrCZtRUDtPVTYBiJVYt0xqvOmLQiEM2Fqk2MarXuaPjijri4y0lIw1AUxvQPojF2OmtXEMaR56T9LnrgqGePOLbpQAgEVryny70nrD307BWpENf8yRGEi8P79y5SGEx/s1600/n580913151_955165_5355.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 367px; height: 375px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQV6RWyM0M45uxECrCZtRUDtPVTYBiJVYt0xqvOmLQiEM2Fqk2MarXuaPjijri4y0lIw1AUxvQPojF2OmtXEMaR56T9LnrgqGePOLbpQAgEVryny70nrD307BWpENf8yRGEi8P79y5SGEx/s400/n580913151_955165_5355.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483779199717923698" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">In the darkroom I paint with light. There is no camera; rarely are there negatives. Over the past ten years I have been making images on the threshold between photography and painting, exploring light defined by line, space, form, and color. My specific intention is to create a space to manipulate light. That said, these spaces, perhaps because they sometimes include vaguely or even specifically recognizable objects and/or images, are rarely simply formal. They tend to have unique spacial and emotional interpretations based on the audience. The work begins as a relatively small unique chromogenic photographic print produced in the darkroom. They can be made only once, and are the originals for larger prints (c-prints) made by doing high resolution scans, which are eventually printed at 12" x 12" and 30" x 30". The images included here that are not square are a bit larger, 30" x 100."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Even more recently I have taken the photographs written about above and layered them both front and back with clear acrylic and epoxy in order to give the photographs more tangible depth. On top of the photographic image is a layer of epoxy that encases tiny objects. These objects reference the light altering process I use to make the original photograph, but also serve as a distraction from true procedure. Often the object could have been used and sometimes even looks like a 2-dimensional part of the image, but is just a hint that may or may not be important in figuring out exactly how light was transformed while making the piece.</span><br /></span> <span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> <br />-Nicki Stager</span><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">www.nickistager.com</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjugXAEQRF9KZTXdkRJKHE9hv-6oJxzI9uKJkav-B-8KtWTSkMHHMMpnc2WqgIj462_ffw6Y_AAo15zsa0vW_CYkbzZGkRnB1Ik7Xr7Eve-kUprqE8r4mpMX0aZqB3CGWnns2Rxi0kOlHi2/s1600/8x10-B1-01++.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

They would take me with them to museums and different shows especially when we were traveling so they definitely got my interests going. Then, when I started college I remember Freshman year they asked us what we wanted to major in and the only thing that came to mind was ART. So I majored in Art History at Univ. of Michigan and then I went on to Sotheby’s Institute, London where I received my MA in Post-War & Contemporary Art.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">

I thought this was a great way to get young collectors involved with the contemporary art scene in a non-confrontational, laid back atmosphere. I curated about 3-4 shows a year and invited young professionals to come find art for their apts/ offices. This was also a great way for me to personally stay in touch with the young artists and to find the next best thing in the art world. I started off the gallery by contacting one of my old friends from high school who was an artist and he referred me to some of his friends. That was Ofer Wolberger who is a great photographer and just had a solo show in London. He led me to Kevin Cooley who was my top selling young photographer back then and still is to this day.

There are only a handful of self-taught artists and those who go to school get to work with top artists/ teachers who can help shape and mold their art into something important and cohesive. Coincidentally a lot of my artists’ have gone to School of Visual Arts, NYC, and I’m glad to support the NY art scene although I also had some artists’ from London as well.</span></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">

I used to go to the benefits and buy from the silent auctions several pieces of art for under $50 and if I liked it I would contact the artists to see more of their works and eventually open up a dialogue to work together in the future. Also, a lot of artists get picked up at their graduate school shows.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">

Many of my artists also show with other galleries and are included in group shows as well so they are starting to gain more exposure. If you have a good art advisor, like myself, they are sometimes able to get a young artists’ work at the beginning stages of an edition before the prices go up. This is a great way to get in at the bottom and watch your art go up in value.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-style: italic;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:Arial;" >Thanks for the interview!

<br />3 nights ago, we were awakened by people stirring at 1:30 am. Dad and Jean on separate trajectories, with vastly different missions. Dad was an anxious wreck, trying to find the “missing files”- all his business and estate records- which my sister and I had been organizing for 2 weeks. He was digging in the garbage, looking under the couch, under his sheets, anywhere. Ginny tried to calm him, but it wasn’t happening. Jean, on the other hand, was in her summer best, bags packed and headed for the airport. She was in a rush, because “the Taliban or someone’s coming to kill us.”</span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-size:10pt;" ><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-size:10pt;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" >

<br />
<br />We shepherded them back to bed. Jean climbed in fully clothed, petulant, eager to fly north, warily circling the man she had come to call, “the Other Buck”. My dad feigned lying down, and then sprang to his desk in his underwear and resumed poring over files that weren’t there. It was 2:30 am by then, and it had been a really long day. Ginny and I stood defeated in their doorway.</span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-size:10pt;" ><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-size:10pt;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" >

<br /></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" >Desperate, we left a call for the psychiatrist. Dr. Director, that’s his name, called back in the AM. The same Dr. Director who dragged me into his office to watch a YouTube video of his daughter when he found I had produced a short film or two. “Get him to the emergency room. We’ll admit him into psychiatric and he can get some help and respite there.”</span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" >

<br />By 11 am, dad was in a gown, lying on a gurney in the emergency room at Indian River Memorial Hospital here in Vero Beach.The nurse took his blood pressure, her brow wrinkling.</span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-size:10pt;" ><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-size:10pt;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" >

He looked at me and let out a blast of air. “Man”, he said, and just shook his head. He looked straight into my eyes for a while, and then proceeded to tell me how proud he was of me, of all his kids. How well we’d handled the difficulties of the last few weeks, how amazing Ginny had been at getting their affairs in order. In short, dad was simply amazed by the profound outpouring of love, from us toward him, and from him toward us at that point. Then, he said, “I guess this is it for me.”</span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-size:10pt;" ><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-size:10pt;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" >

<br />
<br />“Well, I’ve had a good life, but I’m not going to make it past today. This is the end. I’m finished”
<br />
<br />I’m finished, that’s what he said.<span style=""> </span>Like a cartoon character. Like Daffy Duck, “Finished.”
<br />
<br />“A lot of my friends, they died right next to me in Europe. They died when they were only 19, 20 years old. But I got to live to be 86. I’ve had a good life.”
<br />
<br />Then, I started to cry. Couldn’t help it. On that cue, the young intern walked in, looked at me, didn’t blink. “Well, Lloyd, your blood pressure’s back up. Your blood work is good.

How did this series first evolve for you?</strong><br /><br />I was sitting in the living room of a summer house we spend time in each year. The house has been in my husband’s family since the late 1800’s and each generation has left behind summer passions—books, games, toys, magazines. I realized that my children, when not swimming in the lake or hiking through the woods, were disinterested in anything that wasn’t electronic—and as much as I tried to wean them away from their iPods, phones, and computers, I realized that ultimately it is a losing battle and the virtual world is now the real world for my children.<br /><br />It also made me think about how m</span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;">any of those “summer passions” are now available on a computer screen. While creating this body of work, the Kindle was launched, and it only validated that that future generations will have very little that is tactile in their world, nothing to hold and cherish, nothing pass on to their children. And those thoughts have made me feel a sense of urgency about preserving the exquisite objects and texts that we had the privilege of having influenced our lives.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Have your children seen this series? If yes, how do they respond to it?<br /></strong><br />My son and I have discussed the series and he has concluded that at this point in his life, he is more interested in looking forward. The technological world is more exciting and important to him than things from the past (he does exclude books in these thoughts). As a DJ and music producer, he is excited about how the music world is constantly transforming and also excited to be in on the ground flo</span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;">or of it’s evolution.<br /><br />This question created an interesting dialogue with my daughter. At 21, she feels like she has a foot in both worlds, remembers many of these objects from her childhood, but also feels like the pull of technology is stronger and more important in her world.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Where did you take these photographs?<br /></strong><br />I have photographed in Massachusetts, New York City, and in my own home in Los Angeles.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Looking at this project, my first physical reaction was feeling like I could actually smell the books! It was as if I entered a space that I knew</strong></span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>, even though I obviously have never been there. My point is, I feel like people will immediately “enter” this space with familiarity and comfort. I wonder if our children and grandchildren will ever know that comfort. Is this series a way of holding this kind of space in tim</strong></span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>e?<br /></strong><br />Exactly, but not so much the space, as the objects themselves. I would get lost in what I was photographing, put the camera down, and just start turning pages or enjoying the graphics, colors, and incredible printing quality, especially with the children’s books and games. In some cases, I felt like I was opening a tomb and looking at things that literally hadn’t been touched in 50 years. I think we are always drawn to what is familiar, even if it was something we were exposed to in our grandparent’s homes and not something we interacted with on a daily basis.</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />I think the way our children will find comfort will be v</span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;">ery different, more passive, and less inclined to preserve things. How DO you preserve thousands of e-mails, texts, you tubes, Hulu, BBM’s? And what forms of communication will they share with their children. A few years ago, my parents gave me all of my thin blue Air-Mail letters I had sent them when I was in Europe when I was in college. When my own children were in Europe, I only received e-mails (and yes, I printed them out!).<br /><br /><strong>How do you feel about the technological developments in photography? Are y</strong></span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>ou for or against digital photography? Is change a good thing?</strong><br /><br />I own two digital cameras, and honestly have never used them. I will get around to it, but I love my ancient twin lens Rolleiflex and getting–to-be a</span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;">ncient Hassleblad, and I love toy cameras. Sometimes I feel like I make it very hard for myself, working with film, using the darkroom, continuing to hand paint images, when shooting digital would be so much more time and cost effective. But this is all personal. I celebrate anyone that makes images, no matter how they achieve them. I do feel as if there are two worlds of image-makers these days, and sometimes the worlds become very exclusive, which is a loss.<br /><br />What concerns me more is the preservation of images. How do most non-professional photographers hand down their family photos to the next generation? Do they hand them a computer and hope that future generations will still be able to access them? How long will jpgs last on the comput</span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;">er or a CD. History is going to take a big hit in terms of recording our legacy. And the ironic thing is that people are photographing and communicating more than ever before. Everyone is a photographer if they have a cell phone.<br /><br /><strong>What artists have inspired you over the years? Why them?</strong><br /><br />I have always been more inspired by painters – of course, Whistler is a favorite, but so is Deibenkorn and Rothko. A ton of fashion photographers inspired me when I was a fashion editor—Guy Bourdin, Paolo Roversi, Horst—so many. And</span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;"> as a fine art photographer, Matt Mahurin was an early influence. Now the people that inspire me are photographers that continue to make quality work drawn from something personal—Phil Toledano, Catherine Opie, Dave Jordano, Jane Fulton Alt, Kevin Miyasaki, to name a few. And even m</span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;">ore importantly, photographers that have found a way to use their photography to give back, like Gloria Baker Feinstein, Kate Orne, and Julia Dean. And finally, photographers that do the hard work like Bruce Haley and other war photographers.<br /><br /><strong>What would you say is your definition of personal success as a photographer?</strong><br /><br />The longer I pursue this photographic life, the more that answer comes down to the work. It’s not so much the exhibitions, the getting published, or the museum show any more, it’s creating work that keeps me awake at night, that makes me excited and stimulated and feeling passionate. As someone who writes a daily blog on photography, I find myself inspired by the incredible stories and i</span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="font-family:arial;">mages that photographers are able to produce. It’s pretty great to feel a part of such an amazing community of individuals that look at the world with a discerning eye.<br /><br />Ultimately, I look at all of it as a success and appreciate how much it enriches my life.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;" >After a career as a New York Fashion Editor and working along side the greats of fashion photography, </span><strong style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">Aline Smithson</strong><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;" > discovered the family Rolleiflex and never looked back. Now represented by galleries across the country and published throughout the world, Aline continues to create her award-winning photography with humor, compassion, and a 50-year-old camera. Her work has been featured in numerous publications including the PDN Photo Annual, Communication Arts Photo Annual, Eyemazing, Artworks, Shots, Pozytyw, and Silvershotz magazines. She has exhibited widely including solo shows at the Griffin Museum of Photography, the Oswald Gallery, and Wallspace Gallery in Seattle. Aline has been the Gallery Editor for Light Leaks Magazine, writes and edits the blog, Lenscratch, and has been curating exhibitions for a number of galleries and on-line magazines. She was nominated for The Excellence in Photographic Teaching Award in 2008 and 2009 and for the Santa Fe Prize in Photography in 2009 by the Santa Fe Center of Photography.

My photographs induce tension between presentation and subject matter. These images use the structured visual language of formalism to investigate subjects that are beautiful, sentimental or comic.<br /></span></p> <p class="paragraph_style_1" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The images in the Transcendence series were inspired by Victorian post-mortem photographs. During the Victorian era, victims of an early death were often photographed post mortem. The subjects were carefully posed and then photographed in radiant natural light. The resulting images are eerily beautiful. In these photographs the deceased appear to be sleeping peacefully. I recreate this approach. I remove each creature from the site of its demise and photograph it on a neutral surface. Like the Victorians before me I do not dwell on gruesome details.<br /></span></p> <p class="paragraph_style_1" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">As I photographed these animals and birds I began to notice intricate details of which I was never aware: the texture of a possum's tail, the elaborate patterns of birds feathers, etc. Photographs taken with a close-up lens allow for a level of specificity not available to the unassisted human eye. The creatures in these photographs are so common in suburbia that they often go unnoticed. For the most part, they are considered neither beautiful nor precious. Their deaths by the roadside are unremarkable. By photographing these creatures, I have allowed them to inhabit a liminal space. They appear neither alive nor dead, instead they float and drift in indeterminate blackness.</span></p><p class="paragraph_style_1"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span></p><p class="paragraph_style_1"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >-Kimberly Witham<br /></span></p><p class="paragraph_style_1"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span></p><p class="paragraph_style_1"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >www.kimberlywitham.com<br /></span></p><p class="paragraph_style_1"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;" class="paragraph_style_1"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8iwXI66PaA-nY5MH4Cg1MkxwcPtsycplR8LPyhchrejaP1PKcfG-PjVpN12GcnxYIqVJZcDj26sp6eTuQpdwJ7TuvNGgppInFWQ-tBasNaQG8RZpdoObdwYnmt5akGHe_mxcujKApPmPm/s1600/Picture+1.png"><img style="cursor: pointer;
