Exhibition for LBCC Photo Coordinator
This past weekend, I visited Seattle to attend the opening reception of the exhibition that I'm in at the Photographic Center Northwest. I was showing my Val Verde project which features an estate and gardens in Montecito, CA (where the fires are). The event went well and I'm pleased to say work sold before we opened (always a good feeling).
I also got a chance to tour the facilities, which were really wonderful. The Center specializes in "photography for social justice" and they have terrific b&w and color darkrooms. What I really loved was the passion and enthusiasm for photography that everyone seemed to have. The Center was started as a grass roots project in the 1980's and has evolved into a well respected and active organization.

Juried Photo Show

About the Theme
Capturing an image that shows an unusual combination or contrast is rewarding but can be challenging. Cause the viewer to pause and explore the relationships of the objects in the frame. Why are they together? How are they similar? How are they different?

LA Flash @ LACMA
Last Saturday evening the LA County Museum of Art hosted a celebration of Los Angeles street style with an event called LA Flash. Billed as "one of the social and photographic highlights of the season" it featured book signings by Larry Sultan, Henry Wessel, Lauren Greenfield, Ed Panar, and Mike Slack.
Just off the entrance to the museum was an exhibition of Philip-Lorca diCorcia. The exhibition is a mix of prints from the various series he's done over the past 20 years. Unfortunately for me, this approach didn't work, but what I would really recommend was the showing of 1,000 of his Polaroids. It really gave me a chance to get a better sense of how he thinks and there was an intimacy that his large photographs lack.
It got me thinking about Polaroid and how working with it was such an important part of so many photographers' creative experience. There's something about being able to lay a set of Polaroid prints down on the table and try and figure out what was or wasn't working with a shooting session. Prints could be cropped, combined with other images, placed into layouts...you name it, and at the end of the shoot you'd be able to bring them home. I still have Polaroids that I look at every day - trying to figure out why I'm drawn to an image - what' s important about it.
I wonder if the demise of Polaroid is also about the demise of the print. So many of our images are never printed now, they just exist on hard drives or cell phones. Is it still important to print? What's important about the printed image?
Just wondering,

LBCC Photo Dept. alum shows Love and Hate
Christy Meaker, an alum of the LBCC Photo Department, is showing her work in a group show entitled "Love/Hate." Congratulations Christy.
Location:
PICTURE THIS
Gallery & Custom Framing
4130 Norse Way
Long Beach, CA 90808
Email: picturethisgallery@gmail.com
Here is Christy's Bio:
The first time I ever used a 35mm SLR was in the fall of 2001 while attending an Introduction to Photography class at Long Beach City College. In an effort to develop my skills and explore the art of photography for a few years I studied a variety of classes such as B&W, color, portraiture, studio lighting experimental, fine art, documentary and digital photography. In 2001 I received an Associates of Science with an emphasis in Auto Mechanics as well as beginning my journey into the fine arts. The combination of working on cars, learning to weld and taking up fine arts has fashioned who I have become as an artist today. I enjoy working with metals, working on my own vehicles along with my desire to take photographs. My photography is most likely subject to include vintage automobiles, oldie movie theatres, desertscapes, any object of interest, and the people who are a part of my life. Sometimes I will photograph the pets or kids of friends and within the past year or so I have taken a move toward self portraiture. Not to mention, I take pleasure in documenting the process of some of my unconventional creations, which, incidentally gives explanation as to my Love/Hate entry.

Photographer Barbara Smith to visit
On Wednesday May 2nd is room EE250 at the Pacific Coast Campus of
Long Beach City College, photographer and author Barbara Smith will
speak to the Photo 41 class at 6:30pm. All are invited and
encouraged to attend. Barbara was recently a lecturer at the WPPI
convention in Las Vegas.
The subject at WPPI (Las Vegas) was "Beyond the Photographic Print."
Here's the course description:
"In this tantalizing workshop, photographers learn how to transform
their images, whether film- or digital-based, into personalized
products such as custom business cards, promotional materials, client
publications, stationery, and handmade books. "Beyond the
Photographic Print" utilizes the powerful features of Adobe
Photoshop as the basis for digital imaging and simple graphic
design. Layouts are then printed on suitable papers for an elegant,
professional presentation with a fine art flair."
Barbara has authored two 'how to' photography books. She has a
wonderful mind for business and promotion and is very creative and
talented as well. She was recently filmed for an upcoming piece for
HGTV's 'that's clever' to be aired in early 2008.
Please email Suzy Skaar (sskaar@earthlink.net) if you have any questions.
