Third Wednesday

I just saw some really great photos at the monthly NY PhotoGroup Salon, from photographers Brian Finke, Eric O'Connell, Eva Mueller, Hugh Kretschmer, Elinor Carucci and the prolific Jay Maisel.

If you don't already know about this group, they meet at 6:30 PM on the third Wednesday of every month (except August) at Soho Photo Gallery, 15 White Street and admission is only $10 to cover the venue.

That's less than the price of a movie, and it's always great just to hang out and see what your contemporaries are doing, especially when it is mostly personal work. Presenters change each month, so there is a wide variety of work shown.

If you want to get a monthly email reminder which also lists the upcoming presenters, just drop a note to Bill Westheimer.

The first issue of WIP is launched

The first issue of the electronic magazine for creative photography, WIP, which stands for Work In Progress, has been published by Greek photographer/designer Simos Saltiel.

A pair of personal images of mine are featured on page 39, among
many images from a large group of contemporary Greek photographers.

It is very interesting to see the aesthetics & viewpoints of photographers from different countries, although I would be hard pressed to say there is any one dominant style or trend. As soon as I figure out a way to do it, I will enclose a link so you can download it and take a look.

What I did this summer, Part I

I finally got the website updated- both the Current Work and Personal Projects sections, as well as the main portfolio, and even managed to send out an email blast before the long Fourth of July weekend. Phew! I hope someone is around to even look. I really earned my grilled corn on the cob this Fourth.
