Photographer and client Tony Donovan's black and white photographs from his saw mill series are featured at the Essex Art Association's Exit Gallery, located at 10 North Main St., Essex, Connecticut from July 29 until August 20, 2011. There will be an artist's reception on Friday, July 29, 2011 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Tony Donovan's photographs are an intimate look at the way of life centered around the family-run sawmill at which he worked in preparation for making a film around 1973.  The images are both lyrical and graphic, and have one foot rooted in journalism and the other in fine art. There is more information about the origin of the images here.

His prints combine the artistry of film photography with the new technology of archival fine art digital (giclee) printmaking.

Also of note: Schoelkopf's color photograph, titled "Marriage", received Honorable Mention in the 35th Annual Professional Women Photographers exhibition. It will be up on their online gallery for 6 months. Schoelkopf says she felt honored to be included because one of the judges was Elinor Carucci, one of her favorite contemporary photographers.

Schoelopf brings out a kind of tenderness in her often edgy subjects--she sees beauty in uncommon places. There is a gallery of Schoelkopf's images aqui on the website of Vision Access Photo Collective, of which she is a member.

Nós três, da Connecticut Photographics/Still River Editions, compartilharemos um espaço de galeria na Estúdios Abertos em Toda a Cidade New Haven neste fim de semana.
Sáb., 25/9, das 12h às 17h, e dom., 26/9, das 12h às 17h
Três fotógrafos da Still River Editions: Mark Savoia, Catherine Vanaria, e Lys Guillorn na Erector Square, Rua Peck, 315, New Haven, CT, Edifício 2, 3º andar, Unidade 1

Haverá uma recepção de abertura na sexta-feira à noite, das 17h às 20h, no Espaço de Artes Em New Haven, Mark e eu exibiremos uma obra cada, mas a maior parte da exposição acontecerá no fim de semana na Erector Square. Eu irei à inauguração.

Outras pessoas que conhecemos e que estão participando incluem: Keith Johnson, Phyllis Crowley, Tom Peterson, e kHyal™ e Karl Heine da DesignerGrill, Joan Fitzsimmons, Valerie Richardson (DJ da WPKN), e Lisa Nichols. Estamos dividindo o espaço com um pintor Zachary Keeting.

Levaremos impressões tradicionais e digitais de nossos próprios trabalhos. Optei por trabalhar em um formato um pouco maior do que tenho feito ultimamente e pedi ao Mark para imprimir algumas fotos em jato de tinta com pigmento de carbono, no tamanho 50 x 90 cm, de duplas exposições em filme preto e branco. O Mark vai trazer impressões a carbono em preto e branco que foram exibidas recentemente na NESOP e que mostram seu senso de humor e seu olho para a ironia. Ele também pode estar trabalhando em um tríptico de quase 4 metros de comprimento. A Cathy vai trazer alguns de seus retratos íntimos feitos com a câmera de 20 x 25 cm que atualmente fica a cerca de 3,5 metros de mim, como uma dançarina solitária no meio do laboratório.

É gratuito, então, se você quiser fazer uma viagem de um dia a New Haven para ver obras de arte interessantes de todos os tipos e qualidades, venha nos visitar e dizer um oi. Estamos ansiosos para conhecer nossos colegas artistas e entrar na agitação.

Fique bem,
Lys

Photography of Hoopfest 2010: Tony Donovan at The Buttonwood Tree Gallery

© Tony Donovan

Fotógrafo Tony Donovan will be exhibiting his basketball photography at the Buttonwood Tree Gallery, 605 Main St., Middletown., CT. An opening reception will be held Sunday, September 12, 3-5 pm.

A quote from Tony Donovan from the Buttonwood Tree's website: "Photographs from the basketball games at this summer’s Hoopfest 2010which were held at the Ray Barnes Memorial Courts on the ground of CT Valley Hospital, in Middletown.All sport is spirited, I suppose that’s why we love it. And for me, basketball has always seemed the most intense and dramatic of our games. My goal with these pictures has been to record some of the drama, effort, the cleverness and grace played out in the games at Hoopfest.


It is these elements of character and skill that I wanted to record. (Tony Donovan, July 2010)" "

Jim Rohan featured on Holga Jen

Jim Rohan's beautiful black-and-white Holga images were profiled on the blog, Holga Jen, earlier this week.

Rohan uses the Holga to balance out his work of painstaking exactitude as a digital printmaker. His technical and professional experience in photography and printmaking inform his artistic choices, but he has found the Holga is particularly well-suited to capture a certain type of visual magic occuring constantly in front of our eyes, that sometimes goes unnoticed. Now Rohan carries at least one of his plastic cameras wherever he goes.

The recent surge in the popularity of film and lower-tech cameras like the Holga are proof that art is in the eye of the creator; it doesn't take a lot of fancy, new digital gear to create beautiful images. Someone with a great eye, like Rohan, could use anything at his disposal.

More images from Jim can be found on his Flickr stream.

Lys Guillorn on HolgaJen's blog

Today one of Lys Guillorn's photos was featured on HolgaJen's site in a roundup of Etsy items related to the Holga. If you haven't been on Etsy before, it's a way for users to sell and buy fine art and handcrafted items, as well as vintage goods, and supplies. The Holga is a plastic 120 film camera with a plastic lens known for its quirky ability to lend a dreamlike quality to an image. Though there's a bit of a toy camera craze right now, Lys has been using the same Holga for the last 11 years, covered in electrical tape.
