Livia Corona has just been awarded a Guggenheim fellowship and will continue her “Two Million Homes for Mexico” project.

Jenna, 2010

I’m not a street photographer. I like time with my subjects, set ups, conversations, intimate moments. That being said, I tried my hand at some street shooting while I was on my own for a day out in San Fransisco. Hoped on a bike and rode all the way through Golden Gate park and arrived for the first time, to Ocean Beach.

Started out strolling the boardwalk for subjects

And then somehome ended up hanging out in front of a Safeway

Take a look at the refreshing portfolio, Highfliers, shot by Ryan McGinely in today’s New York Times Magazine profiling some of the upcoming winter Olympians. I have to say, although he gets flak in certain circles for his carefree style, shall we say,  I just really dig his work.

This is something I’m still unsure about posting, but here I go.

I always talk about my self portraits as a form of therapy. Well, here I am, in true form, confronting my camera, letting it all out. Seeking guidance. Feeling hurt. Alone. And documenting it.

I have to say, I did feel a bit better after taking these images.

Instruments of Empire at the Caption Gallery in Dumbo is a show you don’t want to miss.  The combination of Amy Stein’s Stranded Series with Brian Ulrich’s Dark Stores series is a beautiful seamless blend where the images look like they were made to be shown together.

The opening was stellar- jam packed with a who’s who in the fine art photo world. I was happy to finally meet in person Shen Wei and Jen Davis, two photographers whose work I have been closely following.

Shot filmaker Tze Chun for Hyphen Magazine last fall.

Check out his feature film Children of Invention.

This is what ran:
