Flowers 12 chromogenic coupler prints 1978

Complementing this show, an exhibition called Between the Still and Moving Image
Larry Gottheim’s Fog Line (1970), in which trees and a landscape gradually emerge on the screen as a thick fog begins to lift. "(the exhibition) examines the relationship between the still and moving image from the 1930s to the present, by artists, filmmakers, and photographers who use stillness, cinematographic composition, and movement to question the conventions of both photography and cinema."

Weekend: Switch Gears

Last weekend I said good bye to my last delightful house guest for a while and to the crazy days of summer.
And finally, after years of threats, I went to documentary filmmaker group event that happens every Sunday at a place down the street called Union Docs. They are a sweet and interesting bunch.
So heads up to any doc makers wanting to show your work or those who are interested.
