Conversations with Creatives - Part Two

This is the second part of the discussion with Carol White Llewellyn. She gave it the interesting title of "Photography in the Age of the Selfie".  

From Carol - "We talked about a variety of topics from the future of photography in the age of smart phone cameras, the experience of exhibiting in photo galleries, to theft of intellectual property, and how to distinguish oneself as a photographer".

Photography in the Age of the Selfie

Interview

I had the distinct pleasure of being invited to be interviewed and also participate in a panel discussion about photography for a local television show. Carol White Llewellyn is the host of "Conversations with Creatives" a series that runs on RCTV.  Here's the link for more about the station. http://vimeo.com/channels/456105http://vimeo.com/channels/456105

Carol invited four photographers to join her in the studio and conversation will air in two shows. One contains the individual interviews and the second, a discussion about "Photography in the Age of the Selfie".

It was a interesting experience to hear the variety of ideas and creativity from my colleagues and also see how different each of our photographic styles was.

The episode with all of the individual interviews will air on RCTV (channel 15 or 98.5 in Rochester)  Monday, November 16  and Wednesday, November 18 at 7 PM. The panel discussion will run the following two Mondays and Wednesdays at 7 PM (November 23, 25, 30 and Dec. 2)

Gallery 96

I just picked up the images that were displayed during a recent exhibit at Gallery 96 in Bushnell's Basin. 
The theme was The Erie Canal and there were many interesting photographs shown. 

Here are the three that were included. They are available for purchase. Contact me for more details if you are interested.

24th Annual Members Exhibition - The Days the Artists Spoke

I was privileged to be part of the Members Exhibition at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center which is open until January 18, 2015. http://www.rochestercontemporary.org/

As part of the opening, all participants were invited to give a short talk about their artwork, process or just introduce themselves to the viewers. I was lucky to be there on Friday night among many of Rochester's amazing artists.

My entry, "Searching for Shelter" is a digital photograph printed on canvas paper and is offered for sale during this exhibit. This is the first time I've given a talk so I was just hoping it made some sense.  

My talk starts at about 21:35. I'll let you decide if I accomplished that.
