FRIDAY, DEC.

I had the pleasure of visiting Jay Seldin in his New Jersey studio, and was treated to beautiful photography and beautifully printed photography. We talked about everything under the sun, and I was impressed by the breadth of his career and Jay's continuing involvement in photographic education.

If you didn't make it to FPS Fest in Williamsburg Tuesday night, you missed a great bunch of people and a terrific show of photographers' films.

The evening began with Shinichi Maruyama showing a short work reel full of dripping, dropping, and splashing liquid that was hypnotic, yet calming.

Tomorrow, Friday, November 13 brings us SLIDELUCK POTSHOW XIV at The Aperture Foundation in Chelsea and will be co-curated by Lesley Martin, Aperture's book publisher. The theme of the fourteenth show in New York City is INSIDE OUT.

I was hoping to write a wrap up of the PhotoPlus Expo, but found I couldn't sum it up at all.

PhotoPlus Expo is just about upon us and I plan on blogging from the Expo this week. I expect to go to seminars, keynotes, and talk with as many people as I can, so I'm looking forward to having interesting information for all of you. If you happen to see me, stop and say hello.

Lots of events coming up, including next week's PhotoPlus Expo. I'll be running that down later in the week, but here are some events that are nipping at our heels, so check them out.

Attention Ex-Photo Assistants, Art Producers, or Photo Editors who worked with Irving Penn : We are putting together a short video tribute for the Lucie Awards.

Arthur Lavine's Financial District photos, shot in 1969, are a part of this new exhibition, "Eye on Wall Street," opening Friday, October 8 at historic Federal Hall on Wall Street.

Arthur managed Chase Bank's in-house photo department for 22 years.

Mark this one on your calendars and sign up here for the annual portfolio review that is free for ASMP members.

This year's review will be held at Tribeca Skyline Studio, 250 Hudson St (Penthouse) with sign-in at 6pm and the reviews going from 6:30pm - 9:30pm.

Dear ASMP Member,

The Return on Membership Contest ends soon and we need your help. ASMP is giving the chapter with the highest percentage of entries $500 in additional voucher funds. Along with the chapter prize, ASMP is giving away $17,000 worth of prizes to the top stories, so you could win too.

On January 15 of this year New Yorker's got a ringside seat to a most unusual event, the safe landing of USAir Flight 1549 in the Hudson River.

Trinity Wall Street, the historic Episcopal parish of Trinity Church and St. Paul's Chapel near Ground Zero in Manhattan, announces a call for submissions for Picturing an Ethical Economy.

I saw “The Cove” and it is still haunting me. It is educational, powerful, thrilling and heartbreaking all at the same time, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Go see it and take action, whether you’re a still photographer thinking about filmmaking or you just care about this planet we live on.

Master photographer Louie Psihoyos spent 17 years traveling the world shooting for National Geographic. He has won numerous photography awards, had a bit role in the Stallone movie, "F.I.S.T", and if all that wasn't cool enough, has a small, embryonic carnivorous dinosaur named after him.

ASMP is in the process of gathering information regarding Digital Railroad and the status of any unpaid licensing fees at the time DRR terminated business.

I recently received an email from the amazing still life photographer James Worrell who has made a great little film about plastic water bottles (make sure you don't miss the film at the end of this post).

Here are two more upcoming, very cool photo contests. There's still time to enter, and I thoroughly encourage everyone to do so.

WIN-Initiative is calling for entries for their open international contest, 10 BEST 10, deadline August 5, 2009. It’s free to enter, and they’re calling for up to 10 images of any kind, any genre. It is a juried competition that is looking for the very best contemporary photography.

So you’re thinking about making a Print-On-Demand book but you don’t know which company to use, or whether it’s going to be worth the money. Well ASMP has done the groundwork for you. Their great idea was to try eighteen different companies and invite people to review and rate the results.

coming soon!

My Photo
I've been in the art and photography industry for 15 years as a photographer, curator and art consultant. I've been fortunate to work with ASMPNY as a portfolio reviewer as well as a panelist for photography events here in the city. Earlier this year my exhibition, "Hotter Than July" was reviewed by senior art critic of New York Magazine, Jerry Saltz. In the past I founded veaux.org, a site for emerging creatives with a gallery space in Chelsea as well as curator/consultant of exhibitions for the Hipstamatic iphone app. Currently I'm working on a project documenting the New York art world while curating exhibitions around the city.
