Krappy Kamera V: March 3 – 29, 2003
Soho Photo Gallery, 15 White Street, NYC. 3/4-3/29/2003.
Reception: Tuesday, March 2, 6 – 8 pm.
Juried by Monica Pollock of Soho Triad Fine Arts. Annual national plastic camera photography show. 1 piece: ‘Reflections to Go’.
This was the first time I exhibited a digitally printed image. I early on settled on doing digital C-prints instead of inkjet technology (liking the feel and lack of fragility of traditional photographic paper). This exhibit was still before I became a member of Soho Photo in 2006. The show was reviewed in the ‘New Jersey Star-Ledger’ and my work was mentioned.
‘Reflections to Go‘ as is probably clear is the reflections of buildings in the curved windows of a Volkswagen Beetle.

This was my first solo show. I exhibited in the small room at the back of the gallery. The 18 pieces were mostly darkroom prints (done using an 8×10 enlarger). It is the only solo show I did of the smaller darkroom prints.

A friend and I traveled to Texas for the opening of this my second show… and we went to New Orleans as well. This is when my New Orleans photos were taken.

National Competition: June 4 – July 6, 2002
Soho Photo Gallery, 15 White Street, NYC. 6/4-7/6/2002.
Reception: Tuesday, June 3, 6 – 8 pm.
This was my first show! I was accepted into Soho Photo Gallery’s annual national photography competition (before I became a member).
Interesting note: When I submitted to the competition I submitted slides I took of contact prints… as at that point I had not yet made my first print (well since college anyway). And I was accepted!
The print I ultimately made for the exhibition was a gelatin-silver print done using an 8×10 enlarger.
This was amongst my first overlapping exposure Holga pictures, a Times Square image shot for a four-week class at the New School (where I was first introduced to the Holga).
