One Hour Photo

Sunday, April 11, 2010

I’m happy to have a photograph of mine included in One Hour Photo, a unique exhibition that will be held from May 8th – June 6th at the American University Museum at Katzen Arts Center in Washington, DC.

The premise of “One Hour Photo” is simple: project a photograph for one hour, then ensure that it will never be seen again.

Created by Adam Good and curated with Chajana denHarder and Chandi Kelley, the exhibition brings together 128 artists including Noel Rodo-Vankeulen, Tim Davis, Charles Benton, Nicola Kast, Andraya Parlato, Brian Ulrich, Gregory Halpern, Nigel Shafran, Lucas Blalock, Jason Lazarus, Shane Lavalette, Penelope Umbrico, Matthew Gamber, Ann Woo, and many others.

All of the artists including myself signed a release form stating that our images will never be published or exhibited anywhere, meaning that the one hour projection is the only place/time to see these works.

My photograph will be on view from 11am – 12pm on Wednesday, June 2nd.

View the full schedule here.

Stephen DiRado: With Dad

Saturday, February 6, 2010

Stephen DiRado sent me a beautiful handmade book, which I felt compelled to share here. The book, titled With Dad, came to me in a cloth-covered slip case with a photograph glued to the cover. The images inside are a documentation of Stephen’s relationship with his father Gene, who was affected by Alzheimer’s before he passed away in December 2009. Going back to 1985, the black and white photographs are deeply personal and extremely moving, and to view them in such a lovingly made book (the first, in fact, since his father’s death) was really special.

Thank you, Stephen.

Visit Stephen’s website to see more photographs from With Dad.
