boogie: the uncovering feature story

Got this in the mail yesterday. Seth Carmichael, of The Carmichael Gallery, was nice enough to send it along to us. We recently printed a show of Boogie's work called "The Uncovering" for his gallery (which we foolishly failed to mention here ... perhaps due to summer laziness?). However, Seth and Elisa Charmichael were smart enough to feature it on the cover of their refreshingly lo-fi art street journal.

This came as a welcome site in our otherwise boorish daily mail package ... it seems like nothing good ever comes via real mail anymore in these days of RSS feeds and e-mail newsletters (yes, just like the one we send out periodically). This one packs a lot of great stuff into its 24 unbound single fold pages.

You too can receive the art street journal for free, apparently just by asking nicely. Here's the link:

Woman with Camera © Anne Collier

Yipee yeah to sources of funding for photography. For all the ladies this one is well worth applying to.

Women in Photography is pleased to announce the 2010 WIP- LTI / Lightside Individual Project Grant, funded by LTI / Lightside Photographic Services with guest judge Karen Irvine. The $3,000 grant award will provide funding to one female photographer to support project costs. In addition WIPNYC is excited to announce the 2010 WIP- LTI / Lightside Materials Grant, funded by Kodak. This grant provides $1000 in artists choice of Kodak materials and will be awarded to one female photographer.

For more details check out the Women in Photography site.

Giant kudos going out to LTI / Lightside Photographic services. I had the opportunity to work with the lab this year to make five exhibition prints. It is not likely I would have produced the prints in NYC, but through LTI’s ongoing relationship with the also great Humble Arts Foundation. I was directed there when LTI decided to donate a print and scan towards work exhibiting in the 31 Women in Art Photography exhibit. Donations of that sort are god sent - as any emerging photographer I am sure will tell you - and not having to deal with shipping another bonus, so I took them up on it and had them print my work for the HHS ShowcaseJen Bekman as well. (currently taking submissions!!) at

Going into a lab you have never worked with is terrifying. I have no shortage of being less than satisfied with labs - and the more I exhibit and make certain kinds of work the more weight I am putting on the quality of final prints and my expectations. Printing my photographs causes me more stress and anxiety then any ideas of the better part of making the work, the parts about making the work. Ideas and exposures are easy. Perfect prints are not. It is here that LTI really impressed me. They were fantastic to work with and did an excellent job. I came to proof and stayed the entire day, every change I asked for was done without once making me feel panic and obsessive or that I was taking up too much of their time. One of the things I appreciated the most spending the day in there was that I also learned a thing or two. I expect whoever is doing my exhibition prints to know more about printing and file management than I do but despise anything happening to my images I might not understand or be aware of, I am starting to demand things of labs but at LTI I didn’t have to. Thanks to everyone at the lab, extra special thanks to Jeffrey Kane who facillitated everything and to Andrej Tur for printing. I eagerly wait for the day I am able to afford to have a single constant relationship with a lab. In the future I will be doing my exhibition printing on visits to NYC.

Jennifer Karady at SF Camerawork

Quick Link Jennifer Karady SF Camerawork LTI more about Lightside Hello everyone, This month we're featuring Jennifer Karady's new work: In Country: Soldier's Stories from Irag and Afghanistan, currently on view at SF Camerawork in San Francisco. The project reflects upon a widely under-publicized consequence of the ongoing war on terror; the post-battle physical and psychological burden of war zone trauma borne by enlisted individuals. Photographed near their homes in the United States after an extensive interview process, Karady encourages the subject's immediate family and close friends to help bring their wartime memories into focus against the backdrop of our everyday landscape. This collaborative effort creates a visual experience for the viewer that while still quite abstract, offers a far more personalized window into their stories than an evening newscast ever could. In Country has been well received in the press with a feature article in the New York Times and an interview on National Public Radio's All Things Considered. Jeffrey Kane LTI / lightside photographic services Jennifer Karady: In Country: Soldier's Stories from Iraq and Afghanistan SF Camerawork, May 6 - August 7, 2010 Jennifer Karady: Former Sergeant Jose Adames, US Marine Corps Recon, Stinger Gunner, 1st Platoon, Alpha Company, veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Brooklyn, NY, February 2009. From In Country: Soldier's Stories from Iraq and Afghanistan 48 x 48 Fujiflex Super Glossy optical c-print In Country corrals the often incomprehensibly distant issue of America's wars in the Middle East by focusing on the intensely personal post tour-of-duty experiences of individual soldiers - conveyed visually through the fabrication of highly conceptualized domestic scenes that are at once familiar and yet jarring. A mix of styles and influences, Karady's images reflect elements of photojournalism and narrative tableau painting and through this she manages to create a positive experience for the soldiers to aid in their adjustment back to civilian life. Use the Quick Links above to visit Karady's website and see the entire ongoing project.

LTI / Lightside worked closely with Karady to print ten 48" x 48" optically enlarged Fujiflex Super-Glossy prints from her original negatives and produced the master digital files for the exhibition catalog.

Summer shows: Bill Armstrong, Joni Sternbach

Quick Link Bill Armstrong Hackelbury Fine Art Joni Sternbach Kenise Barnes Fine Art LTI Women in Photography more about Lightside

Hello everyone, Out of the city for summer? Well, if you're in London or even just slightly up the Hudson River from New York City for any reason, here are two shows to check out. No matter where you are, get yourself outside and enjoy the weather! Jeffrey Kane LTI / lightside photographic services P.S. and don't forget to apply for the 2010 WIP - LTI / Individual Project Grant ... (if you're a women, of course).

Bill Armstrong: Renaissance Hackelbury Fine Art, Ltd., June 10 - July 31 From the Infinity series: Renaissance #1005 40 x 48 optically enlarged c-print Bill Armstrong's Renaissance images are part of an extensive body of work called the Infinity Series and are aptly named after a crucial aspect of the creative process where he rephotographs found images with his focusing ring set at infinity. Armstrong's appropriated material is subjected to a variety of physical manipulations - photocopying, cutting, painting, rephotographing and the extreme de-focusing that enables him to blend and distill hues - all of which contribute to transform the originals and give them new meaning in a new context. LTI / Lightside produced six conventionally enlarged 40" x 48" c-prints for this exhibition. Joni Sternbach: Surfland Kenise Barnes Fine Art, June 5 - July 34 From Surfland: 08.08.13 #8 Surfer Gals 20 x 24 archival pigment print, scanned from unique collodion tintype Joni Sternbach has covered a lot of ground with her project Surfland ... from shooting up and down both coasts in the United States to exhibiting the photographs seemingly everywhere in between and as far away as Lishui, China. Along the way, the work has received widespread critical attention both online and in print. Surfland, the book, also won in the 2008 Photolucida Critical Mass Awards hard cover Monograph category. LTI / Lightside produced thirteen 20 x 24 and 8 x 10 archival pigment prints and one 30 x 40 digital c-print for this exhibition Reminder: The 2010 Women in Photography - LTI / Lightside Individual Project Grant is open for submissions.

Philip Andelman: Three Days in Paris

Milk Studios, New York, NY: May 20 - May 30
Opening Party Friday May 21, 7:00 - 10:00pm


Shot over the course of three days last June, the 78 - 16 x 20 black + white photographs in this exhibition chronicle the exploits of two iconic bands meeting for the first time in Paris - The Beastie Boys promoting a new album and The Dead Weather preparing for a series of shows throughout Europe - and offer a cozy portrait of that chance encounter intimately recorded by Philip Andelman.

Andelman recounts: There was something magical to those three days, a sense of carefree adventure, of being away from home and the constraints imposed by day-to-day life ... It was June and the summer had only just begun - The three days felt more like an adolescent summer vacation abroad, from the late night bike rides along the Seine to giddily spinning around in circles inside the ladies room at he Ritz Hotel at three in the morning.

31 Women in Art Photography

Quick Link Humble Arts Foundation Affirmation Arts LTI more about Lightside Hello everyone, There are still 10 days left to see Humble Art Foundation's well received second annual survey: 31 Women in Art Photography. LTI / Lightside is pleased to have been a sponsor of this project and to have worked with a number of the exhibiting artists. There will be a panel discussion with the curators this Saturday, April 3rd, titled Past, Perspective and Projections featuring Charlotte Cotton of the National Media Museum; Vanessa Kramer, Director of Photographs at Phillips de Pury; Humble co-founder, Jon Feinstein, and exhibiting artists Justine Reyes and Sasha Rudensky ... this provides an excellent opportunity to see the show and gain perspective on Humble Arts' purpose in presenting these terrific artists. I hope you can make it. Jeffrey Kane LTI / lightside photographic services 31 Women in Art Photography Humble Arts Foundation at Affirmation Arts, March 6 - April 10 Installation views courtesy of Nat Ward and Humble Arts Foundation There are two things that struck me about Humble's second edition of 31 Women in Art Photography. The first came in the form of plain statistics that I received from Humble co-founder, Amani Olu: "This year in New York City hundreds of galleries and museums will mount group and solo exhibitions. On average, less than 25% of the artists presented in these exhibitions will be women. Less than 20% of those artists will be women photographers, and even less will be emerging." This is the key to understanding why HAF has championed this project for the second time and provides a clear reflection of its principles as a foundation. Not coincidentally, this is also a core reason why LTI / Lightside signed on to be the exhibition sponsor as well as co-founding the Women in Photography LTI / Lightside Individual Project Grant last year. The second is easily recognizable to anyone who visits the show ... it's the extraordinary level of professionalism on display, which is not just evident in the work, but also in the presentation of the exhibition itself. 31 Women in Art Photography is simply a beautiful show to behold. The Affirmation Arts space, with its 20' sky-lit ceiling and diffuse natural light enhances what many have remarked upon as one of the strongest curated shows to open during this year's New York Art Fair week. Humble does a great job of spreading the word ... and in this day and age it's always tempting to skim the reviews and click through the jpegs online. In this case, however, those of you in New York might consider this ... don't miss it!
