On my way home from work yesterday I noticed a new gallery where CBGB’s use to live. I had little time to really study the pieces, but I did take some photos of the work.

LVHRD+Polaroids=drunk old people
So. I went to the PHTHRD II event last night. plenty of free dewars and beers… and we took advantage of it ( :/ )….it was held at the powerhouse arena in D.U.M.B.O, Brooklyn and it was packed with old ladies….well, sorta. Last night’s theme was a Polaroid duel between 3 photographers. Whomever attended was asked to dress as a granny if they wanted to be part of the project…the photographers had all night to shoot and about 30+ mins to put together a creative piece with their images. my favorite was Jonathan Harris’s idea.

Stumbling into Kristiana Pärn
While Google searching for Birds, a simple painting of tini red birds and a small figure caught my eye and led me to Kristiana Pärn’s website. This girl is super talented and I Love her work. She does everything!! pretty amazing and very inspiring. I hope I run into one of her pieces while visiting galleries. Check out her paintings, photos, design, flash animations, videos, and so on and so on… dang girl!

Outback Outsiders
Marianna Day Massey is a friend and colleague from my days at ZUMA in California. I love her work and love her passion for it. She recently was featured by Zuma’s zReportage.com.
Marianna is a photojournalist based in the outback town of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia where she currently works for two US based photo agencies, Corbis and ZUMA Press covering news, feature and travel assignments. Her most recent project is a documentary photo story on the plight of the Aboriginal people living in the many ‘town camps’ surrounding the city of Alice Springs.

the darkroom
I am obsessed with it. i can spend hours in there…..days even! *sigh* I haven’t used one since I moved from California. I was super lucky to have lived with a photographer who had built her own darkroom at the art loft….I lived above it, literally, on the roof of the darkroom. Some days I would easily spend 8 hours. I guess I share a love for cameras like my grandfather (mom’s side). He liked to collect them. I have been collecting cameras for 5+ years… Off the top of my head, I have….30+. they range from a 1904 brownie, to a 2007 canon sd. One of these days I will list my cameras on this blog. Some people (*ahem*, lorenzo) don’t believe I own that many….. 🙂 As you can tell, I have total love, respect and passion for cameras, film and the darkroom. I have a full darkroom put away at my parents garage in San Diego. sooo far away….. Once I have the space in NY to build it, i will bring all my things out. meanwhile, I need to find someone with one they don’t mind sharing (emailll meeee). I have asked around the city, and the cheapest is ABC no Rio for 6$ an hour. I believe they are renovating, so might be out of service for a bit. Otherwise, gotta look into paying about 15-20$/hr average for a darkroom in manhattan. If you have any questions about darkroom experiences, ask away. or if you would like a certain ‘how to’, just let me know. And if you know of anyone who has a darkroom available, please let me know. I will supply chemicals and paper , etc etc….
