Cynthia Wang was kind enough to share some light about her work in an interview I posted on Nymphoto. Go read it.

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!

With 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!

everyone gets a star
