So Stacy and I are leaving Atlanta for good this week, and I thought it’d be nice to get together one last time, for those folks still in town. I think we’re gonna’ go to Ted’s for dinner on Monday night, around 8pm. If you’d like to join us, e-mail me or just leave a comment here. If no one comes along, that’s ok. Stacy really just wants to go to Ted’s. Mmm… buffalo burgers. Oh, and does anyone want my color enlarger for cheap? It’s still for sale.

Our first video from Basel is actually from Scope. We got together with Rhys Gallery (Boston) to shoot Shaun El C. Leonardo’s boxing performance last night. Check out the video.

SCAD student films were shown at the High Museum as part of their “Go All Night!” festivities.

Last Thursday, Alec Soth spoke at the High Museum of Art Atlanta. Prior to the lecture, the PhotoAwesome crew met up with him and Michael David Murphy of Atlanta Celebrates Photography for a quick interview.

Dave and I made a video. It’s on the YouTube.

Here’s also the Quicktime Version.

This was at Whitney’s opening at TEW Galleries in July. I’ll be posting the actual video soon enough, but I have to admit, I am a total sucker for slowing things down. I mean, this has to be the funniest accident I’ve made in awhile. Ok, at least it’s funny to me.

Caitlin had a show sometime in July at some Starbucks somewhere. It was a LONG way away, but we listened to comedy on the drive up. Fun times were had by all.

Day 5: Brooklyn

“It’s Better (and cheaper) in Brooklyn.”

Our final day on the trip, we began our day with Isidro Blasco in his studio. His studio was a terrific place filled with wood, models, photographs and so many other goodies. He talked with us about his recent trip to Shanghai and all of the other projects he’s working on.

From Isidro’s, we ventured to the infamous Coney Island. Coney Island… the place where weird things happen. That’s about all I have to say about that.

For the evening’s activities we all went to the Park Bistro for our final dinner and then went to the top of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to watch the sunset and see Manhattan. It was incredible.

The New York trip was a definite success. Hope you enjoy our video diary as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Day 4: SOHO

“Following an Obsession.”

The coolest day ever: we were given the opportunity to shoot with a 20×24 Polaroid camera. Everyone had to come up with an idea and had about 15 minutes to create the lighting and have Jen take the shot. Jen, who ran the studio and took the images, was great to work with and made the experience successful. Everyone created great and exciting images. Walker and I also ventured to Chinatown to find tubes to put the 20×24 images in and in doing so, Walker decided to trip in a hole and sprain his ankle.

We then booked it way, and I mean way uptown (94th street) to meet Len Jenshel who sat down with us for an hour and talked with us about his work, the National Geographic article with his photographs about the border between Mexico and the U.S. and just talked in general about being a photographer.

Slowly we made our way back down town to meet Harvey at Howard Greenberg Gallery. Harvey is a SCAD alum who now works at this amazing gallery and is in the presence of “works of art” everyday!
