The Vaya Institue in Brooklyn selected my work for a solo installation this month which has been a nice success. I've shown a couple of series of black and white work from the Summer of 2007 to show. Several prints have sold and they are not the ones I thought would sell. Looking back through ideas that have been shot for the past 3 years and starting to assess the catalog changes your view a bit. In one sense you begin to wonder if you've captured some of the ideas you were chasing - because that's what it is for me- chasing an idea. Not really knowing what it will be when I get it. I always envy those guys who have clear idea to work and work it very specifically. I'm very collaborative and tend not to have "a shot" in mind when I start.
Also sense that I'm coming to the end of a series of ideas and new ones are developing. I had that sense developing in the winter but I kept shooting anyway. Now I want to go back to some models that I tested with and explore some different themes and ideas. I think I'll limit myself to work with one model for a set time and then stop. dunno. I have a few great new models to work with and a few that I almost stared but didnt' because the ideas were all fuxxy. They are clearer now.
Go have a look at the blog and see what you like and what you hate. I'm open to new ideas.
