Opening tonight at Yossi Milo Gallery, Sze Tsung Leong shows images from his Cities series. Leong began shooting for cities back in in 2002, which, makes our involvement with the work seem like a blip on the time map ... but really, we've been printing full editions of these things for over two years and quite possible might just be excited about seeing them up as he is ...

Opening tonight at Lombard Freid Projects is a particularly ambitious photographic survey spanning five decades. Curated by Lea Freid and Nick Haymes, Minor Cropping May Occur (selected diaries 1961-2011) sports over 150 images from thirteen internationally scattered photographers. Our contribution? An odd mix of trimming, mounting and framing, all at breakneck speed ... and I can tell you one thing for sure, the show title is accurate!

Here's a prototype of a new museum box that we've spec'd. The sides are finished with .080 anodized aluminum. The seaming is very clean (despite the crusty iPhone jpegs). These can be produced in nearly any size up to 40 x 60 or 40 x 50. The side depth is variable from 1/2" to 3 1/4". The photograph in this piece is mounted on 6mm sintra but we can use dibond or aluminum as the mounting substrate as well. It's a beauty and the customer will be taking it away shortly . I hope to have additional protos in the shop soon. Don't hesitate to check in directly with any questions if you're interested.
Just in time for the holiday season, the nice people at Slideluck Potshow are having a fancy fundraiser auction at Sandbox Studios. The auction includes some pretty nice photographs (we know because we helped print a few of them). There will be amazing food from a number of supper clubs, delicious wines poured by The Noble Rot, beer lovingly provided by Brooklyn Brewery, cocktails, deserts and some fun surprises. Plus (as you can see from the invite) DJ Spooky is one of the primary sponsors of the evening so I'm expecting the music to be over the top as well ...
The point of the fundraiser is for Slideluck to expand their programming and reach more communities nationally and globally, bring in a development director, purchase needed cameras and supplies for the Slideluck Youth Initiative - as well as hire staff to continue empowering underprivileged kids through photography and multimedia storytelling. In addition to working with students in the Hudson Guild projects in Chelsea, Slideluck plans to build community between youth photography programs all over the world and create a centralized platform for sharing their insights and experiences through the language of images.
That's the hard part ... the easy part for you is to just purchase a ticket and come out for a night of fun ... and maybe even go home with a new piece of art!
are not easily explained.
So, this guy walks into the lab the other day ...
photo courtesy of Becky Reeveand he says: "Is it just me or does it smell like tarter sauce in here?" Dead silence on our end ... I mean, how are you supposed to respond to that?
Anyway, turns out he was delivering Pedro Arieta's 8 x 10 mag, Issue B. A joint publication of Pedro's with Kareem Hamady. It's a beautiful thing to behold: (7) portfolios with somewhere around (39) unbound 8 x 10 prints ... all encased in a custom made shiny black & blue plexi slipcover. Most notably, 8 x 10 mag presents the work of these photographers uncluttered by text or advertising.
Aside from the publishers (Pedro and Kareem) 8 x 10 mag lists David Karwan as Design Director along with the website addresses for the contributors: Noritoshi Hirakawa, Stian Foss, Joe Hume, Todd Matarazzo, Sigurjon Guojonsson and Antonio Ibarra.
Best I can tell, there aren't any pictures of fish sticks in the entire issue.
