I received a nice email from Jordi Huisman today. I checked out his website and really like his series titled, “It’s Better to be Home.” (Dig the title and from one of my favorite countries, The Netherlands)

Ah, I miss Syracuse. (Never thought I would say that.) I miss Light Work, the darkrooms, and the great staff.
While working there for pretty much my whole time in Syracuse, I really loved the opportunity to see the artists that took up residencies there. Love seeing the prints getting freshly printed after the hours laboring over color correction. Love talking to them about their process and seeing how dedicated they were in producing work. Love getting advice and developing relationships and get immediately inspired to make my own work.

Garie Waltzer was an artist in residence at the beginning of the year. Her gorgeous large portfolio of carbon pigmented prints on rag paper were inspiring and breathtaking. She travels the world photographing outdoor urban landscapes from the tops of buildings, creating a scrutinizing view of the world when looked at closely. (Seeing these prints in person are so worth it.)
She currently has a show at Humphrey Atrium Gallery at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio. The exhibit will run June 23 - Sept. 5, 2008.

Pain #8, 2003 by Elinor Carucci
Elinor Carucci is the first to be featured in the newly launched Women in Photography.
Carucci came to speak at Syracuse University a few years ago and it was one of the inspiring artists that have pressured me to keep making work.
I love the work presented on the website but I wish there were a few more images.. or maybe if images were isolated on different pages rather all on one blogpost. It would also make sense to have images from only both her Crisis and Pain projects. I adore the images of her mother and her family but with the statement and the other images, it seemed a little jumbled.
I can’t wait to see future female photographers on there. Remember, submissions are rolling!

Sunday, April 27th, 2008With all this art school drama, I still want to make the best out of it. So I created a website with a sampling of work from the rest of our classmates in relation to our exhibition this coming Saturday night.
So check out our hard work.
The show is one night event (sadly) and will be on from 6-9pm, this coming Saturday, May 3rd. I’ll take installation shots during the show. All work going up for the show will definitely be for sale.
and yes, prints are still for sale. and i dearly need some funds!

Art School Series by Matthew Monteith
There will be over achievers and there will be under achievers.
I am a self-diagnosed workaholic. Therefore being in a typical big university, I fall into the crack of never having a “life”, always in studio, and never able to get “shitfaced.” There have been moments where I wish I were sitting out in the sun and just enjoying the time.. but I also really enjoy being in studio. There’s two weeks until May 3rd, the big night of the senior photo majors, the big shebang a la Delavan Art Gallery.
I’ve been preparing my series for basically for the past year and a half and for some people in the class to pull (pardon the french) shit outta their ass in two weeks, makes me fume. Every hour awake, I’ve been thinking about the show, in the darkrooms, in the labs, in front of computer screens, and working away. They say, “Jane, you should get some sun. But wait.. can I waste half an hour of your time repeating something you’ve repeated many times before in Photoshop?” Right, I sound like a complete bitch now. Lending a hand is what I do and like to do.. holding a hand is not what I do.. especially if I explained something more than five times.. They should be the ones shitting their pants with the work that’s ahead of them…and don’t tell me how to feel.
Sure we all have different work ethics.. but if someone complains to me one more time about how much work they have to do, they should realize that hours spent at the bar or sunbathing could be put to better use.
This probably all due to stress but certainly something that’s been pent up for years here in college. People don’t know how to troubleshoot anymore.. experimenting to find solutions seem like a thing of the past. It’s all about fast and easy solution.. no hard work to deal with. Do people not want to learn anymore? Does it take that much brain power? Where’s their drive?
On the happier note, after consulting with every professor and mentor.. I came up with my own edit of 15 images for the show. It feels good to have made some decisions.. now onto coming up with a good title.
