Summer is nearly over and it's time to gear up for fall and photography openings. Several ASMP photographers have shows that are worth checking out.


Susan May Tell (Por)Trait Revealed at the RayKo Photo Center 428 3rd St. in San Francisco until September 10 is a juried group show that explores the genre of portraiture and varying characteristics of us humans.

Tomorrow, Friday, September 3 the Garrison Art Center opens PHOTOcentric a juried show and Joseph Squillante is showing a new work, Orbit#1, very different from the black and white work he has done for years. His color image is mounted on metal with a clear high gloss laminate.

The Garrison Art Center is at 23 Depot Square (Garrison train station). The show runs until September 26.


On Tuesday, September 7, Bill Wadman opens "Drabbles" at Soho Photo at 15 White St.. A drabble is a precise work of fiction of exactly 100 words. Wadman says, “These photographs are intended to be the same: a short story, a moment which needs to be imagined and expanded in the mind of the viewer. It's a voyeuristic glimpse into someone else’s world, sometimes fantastic or silly; other times scary or even sad.”

Stephen Mallon's "Next Stop Atlantic" opens on Friday September 10 at Front Room Gallery 147 Roebling St. in Brooklyn.

Mallon's photographs capture the retirement of hundreds of New York City Subway cars to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. In a bold move, the NYC Transit authority joined the artificial reef building program off the East Coast of the US in 2000 and sent stripped and decontaminated subway cars off on barges to be dropped into the Ocean in order to build refuge for many species of fish and crustaceans which would colonize the structures.

ASMP New York has relaunched SHARPEN, the online magazine of ASMP New York.

Today begins a new feature, a weekly “spotlight” of our fellow ASMP NY members.  I'll introduce inspiring men and women that are world renowned, at the beginning of their careers, and somewhere in between.  Here we'll celebrate each others accomplishments and how their work moves the world forward. My name is Teresa Kruszewski, a current board member and the fortunate person to spend time with each member and get to know their story.  I hope you enjoy our new feature.

Huge thank you to Elizabeth Avedon, Holly Stuart Hughes, Jody Quon, Marc Sobier and Hosanna Marshall for taking time to delve deep in all the wonderful imagery everyone submitted. Tough decisions but lots of fun! Enjoy the pics by Alex Geana.

I admit, it has taken me a long time to get used to the notion that a photo taken with a cell phone is totally acceptable. I was a student of old school photography and I wanted to remain that way for a long time. However, there is a time when one should swallow their pride and admit that technology changes. That was me about 4 years ago. I've had a Hasselblad, a Canon AE-1, a Holga, a Polaroid land camera and still have a Nikon SLR D40x.

(A wonderful perspective and advice for our community.)

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

It’s Just Business

Several recent threads on ASMP’s on-line forums have dealt with photographers’ frustration with client negotiations. Clients were proposing budgets below and terms beyond what the photographers considered fair. Photographers lamented that clients continually refused to see the value in what they provide.

THIS SATURDAY!!!

We would like to ask you help us support a former ASMPNY President in this election. As many of you know, Thomas Werner was central to the rebuilding the of New York Chapter, helping to create the strong and vital chapter that you know today.

As a reviewer for the 3rd year in a row I remembered how fast-paced the reviews can be. How stressful it is for the person getting reviewed. It reminds me of what speed-dating must be like. You have to be prepared for your "elevator speech" -describing in less than a minute what your work is about and for the lasting 9 minutes you are engaged with your chosen reviewer.

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.
