Well after a long hiatus, I credit Facebook with bringing me back to Photoons. Hopefully they will not be so few and far between.

A Few Days in Philly

2009-05-18T06:51:00.000-07:00

I had the privilege to go up to Philadelphia to give a small talk and presentation on my photography at Project Basho a gallery and darkroom complex set up by Tsuyoshi Ito in the Germantown district of Philly. (www.projectbasho.org).

Ito San has created a wonderful space, where photographers can go to learn traditional darkroom practices, take in discussions and presentations on photography or see the current gallery show. Recently Project Basho presented ONWARD' 09, a show juried by Peter Barberie, who is the Curator of Photographs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

I was part of their NEP series (Night of Emerging Photographers) and went up to talk about my Streaming and Streaming Jam photos. I have to say, the event was poorly attended and may have suffered from the fact that Andrea Modica had an opening reception in Philadelphia that night and drew some of the hard core photo fans. At any rate those who were there, were very attentive, informed and enthusiastic. Special thanks to Kirstin Joyce Wagner, the Event Coordinator, who did her best to keep our spirits up.

I got together with the other photographer who was presenting, Mark Fields,

and learned a little bit about his work and experience in the "art" game. Mark is a talented and personable guy, with a few horror stories to tell about mounting exhibitions and selling work. We did the Basho event in the spirit of comraderie given the small turnout.

While I was in Philadelphia, I took in the "Cezanne and Beyond" exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

http://www.philamuseum.org/.

The Curators, Joseph Rishel, Michael Taylor, Carlos Basualdo and Katherine Sachs, did a masterful job of showing the symbiotic relationship among the Impressionists and how it informed the works of later artists including photographer Jeff Wall. Wall seems to be a favorite of the Museum and they have one of his large pieces "Dead Troops Talk" on prominent display in one of the main galleries.

The exhibition was inspirational and neatly dovetailed with my visit with John Barclay. As all the Impressionists seemed to influence each other and actively shared subject matter, compositional themes and techniques, I'm sure Barclays exceptional HDR technique will filter into my own compositions given a little time.

Here is the revised version of Escaping the Big House.

Thanks again to John Barclay for taking me to ESP. Check out Johns site and blog and by all means take one of his workshops if you can. He is an outstanding photographer with a keen eye and a unlimited passion for photography. There is a lot you can learn from this guy!

Escaping the Big House

(Watch for the Photoon version when I get back to my mainframe)

Photoons will take a left turn today.

I had the great priviledge of spending the day with John Barclay yesterday.

(http://www.barclayphoto.com/)

John is a photographer of some reknown, whose work I had always admired. He does marvelous High Dynamic Range photography and will be featured in the June edition of B&W ( Black and White) magazine. When I was asked to speak at Project Basho's, Night of Emerging Photographers in Philadelphia, I took the opportunity to spend the day with John who lives in the area. We had a wonderful day talking all things photographic and exploring the visual possibilities of Eastern State Prison in downtown Philly.

John has posted one of the shots on his Blog. http://web.me.com/johnbarclayphoto/John_Barclay_Photo/Blog/Entries/2009/5/13_A_visit_with_Larry_Moore.html

Photoons will still explore its "Hardcore Punographic" soul, but I will also use the blog to explore further musings on the path to "Art Photography".
