HAPPY EASTER

I updated my website with a new series and new photographs in most of my series.

On Friday me and my photographer friend went to Rhinebeck to pick up my framed art work it rained a lot on the way there and light rain on/off through out the day. After taking the photographs down we went into town and explored and also had pizza. I have not really explored Rhinebeck besides the stores on the main strip. On our way to the car I saw a self phone sitting on a bench and brought it into the closes store and told them I found this and if the person comes back for it. Then we went to the the Holy Cow for some Ice cream.  Then went into Red Hook and walked around there and took some photos and explored because we have never been before. On our way home we pulled over because there there was a cool abandon garage, there were others on our journey but there was precious cargo (framed photographs. We had to stop at my dad's store to drop off a few frames and we walked around Hudson and hung out there for a little.

Here are a few of the shots I took from each town.

Famous Photographer #8

Diane Arbus

Born 1923 and Died 1971

Her and her husband owned a studio in NYC shooting for big name fashion companies. She was more of the art director and he was the photographer. I was a little shocked when I heard she did fashion because when I think of her I think of the old school circus.

Her husband gifted her a camera when they got married. Her husband was a photographer for the US army in WW2.

She started shooting in the late 50's a little fashion but mostly her own stuff. As she was shooting she did learn more about photography from other professionals.

She is known for her street portraits of people who people would look away from. She did build relationships with some of the people she photographed and that helped her go to places and photograph diffrent people like the circus.

Microburst

The other day I was walking around waiting for unicycle hockey to start and i walked into the local gallery and showed the lady at the front desk my yearly portfolio just for fun to show her what I been doing. She knew who I was because been there before and I had my first gallery show there. The back of the book has the photo below, She said thats a microburst and that she has seen and heard about them before. As we were talking I looked it up on my phone and there it was.

Power Out

What does a modern day photographer do when there is now power? Goes out and takes photos and waits for the power to come back on an edit them. 

Me and my photographer friend hung out by playing with flashes in the studio and then walking around town and then going to Ooms. Also I took a few photos with the candle light because of no power.
