The 2014 International Photography Awards were announced November 2nd 2014, seems I missed the announcement somehow – but better late than never!

My ‘Office’ Series was awarded an honorable mention in the category of Professional: Architecture, Interiors.

After the party

Couldn’t make it to the block party, street re-naming or pop up exhibition? No problem!

Here is a quick slideshow showing the photographs of East 100th Street that were displayed in the windows of Harlem RBI on East 100th Street, with a rough-and-ready walk by video to show the photographs in the windows and the windows in the street!

From 12 – The East 100th Street Memories Block Party. The annual bash will happen again and East 100th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues will be closed to traffic and will be filled with people who used to live on East 100th Street, (they run the event.)

Yep, those children you saw in Bruce Davidson’s book, East 100th Street, from the late 1960s, will be here, all grown up! You might bump into some of the people from my book too!

At the corner of East 100th and 2nd Avenue there will be a street renaming ceremony honoring the Revs. Norm and Peg Eddy. After a 2pm ceremony at the Church of Resurrection on 101st Street, the unveiling of Revs. Norm and Peg Eddy Way will begin at 3pm.

Finally, for the whole weekend there will be a pop-up photographic exhibition in the 8 windows of Harlem RBI on East 100th Street.

You may remember Harlem RBI as one of Prince Harry’s stops last year! I know them as the baseball field and a great fun and educational opportunity for the local kids. Also they were kind enough to allow me their window space for my photographs. So a big THANKS is due.

The exhibition will be up for the festivities on Saturday and will come down on Monday night and will feature photographs of East 100th Street from yours truly!

Yes, finally! My photographs on East 100th Street are showing on East 100th Street! I will be floating about on the street on the Saturday so come down and say hello and see the photographs and experience the street at the same time!

Hope to see you there.

Untitled: As promised.

[( 6 )] : Personal Explorations in Photography ended its run at Bank Street Arts in Sheffield, on August 1st. As promised I have compiled the comments from those who collaborated on both the online and the gallery project ‘Untitled’ and present them here on my website for you to peruse and consider.

I would like to take this opportunity to give a heartfelt and grateful THANKS to every person that took the time to respond to my work. From the one word comment or drawing to the song title, poem or essay, each one of you gave me insight both into your life experience and how you view the built environment, both in itself and also through my photographs. This has made my photographs come to life in many different and unexpected ways.

I hope that you will enjoy reading the multiple and varied responses as much as I have.

The project is ‘Untitled’ on this website:

If you couldn’t get to Bank Street Arts you can see some installation photographs and the individual works (through the blurb link) as well as contact info for all [( 6 )] photographers here:

Again, Thanks.

 

 

Photo, book, name!

Popped into Aperture today to have another look at the summer open.

As well as prints on the wall there is now a table with books by the photographers and I spotted my name at the entrance! Here’s a small video so you can take a look at the space. You’ll have to visit to see the photos up close and to handle the books though!
