122 Color Photographs
These are very remarkable color photographs from the 1940’s. The color and composition aesthetic is precise. Truly a photographer with a great eye. Visually he seems like a contemporary of William Eggleston and Stephen Shore. Early color photography is very collectable and is all the rage right now. Check this out.

Mike Mellia “Our Side of the Story: South Sudan”
Mike was kind enough to invite me to his opening last night and to chat with me a bit about his new work. Each photograph is a portrait of South Sudanese who managed to not only escape there war torn country but flourish here in America. The photo’s have a beautiful Chiaroscuro look focusing on the amazing faces of these brave people. This show is well worth seeing! #mikemellia #southsudanese #nykhorpaul

Karen Knorr
Fables & India Song
Danziger Gallery
The artist and her work. Very warm and gentle personality. Great to meet her in person. Her work is a beautiful mix of tantalizing imagery from India. Karen mixes the amazing architecture with exotic animals creating a remarkable tableau that is at the same time warm and a little unsettling. Check it out.
