This is just a teaser. More soon.

A big thank you & shout out to my friends from Stormvogel!

Photography & Sailing

Gino — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:27:20 +0000

Two of my favorite things!
Here are a few of the pictures I’ve made, just for fun, over the last few years.

I think the next year or two may see me getting much more intentional about this kind of photography. On a related note, a series of maritime-oriented Vestiges of Industry photos is already in progress. A taste of these is peppered into this gallery (the B&W squares.) And all this is just a preview until my website re-design is complete. (I’m excited about the new design, and migration is already underway.) Look forward to more sailing & maritime images once the new site launches.

E-mail me and let me know what you think.

“Dreams” Exhibition

Gino — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 17:20:18 +0000

It’s an honor to see my work included in The Center for Fine Art Photography’s “Dreams” exhibition this month. The photographs currently on display at C4FAP’s gallery in Fort Collins, Colorado thru January 7, 2012 were selected from over 2,500 entries. The curator of this show, Aline Smithson is the editor of the Lenscratch blog, and a wonderful photographer in her own right. Here’s what she had to say about the show:

“The concept of dreams is a broad one—a dream can be a personal goal, a life fantasy, a desire, and an ethereal scramble of ideas and imagery ripe for interpretation. It was from this heaping platter of ideas and elucidations with which I had to form an exhibition. And what a feast it was. I wasn’t disappointed in this quest, in fact, I was overwhelmed with fantastic images and I was only sorry that I had to edit the exhibition down to 62 images.”

My friend Vyana Bergen inspired the title for this image. She talked about how ancient Celts referred to ‘thin places’ in reference to those magical spots where the veil between worlds is most permeable. Kind of like the Mists of Avalon. This photograph was made in Iceland, but wasn’t included in my Iceland book. It just seemed to have a flavor all its own, so I’m glad it found a home among the dreamy images in this show

The Artist Project was absolutely inspirational!

Gino — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:31:21 +0000

The way we see things changes them, and the things we see change us. Everyday magic surrounds us.

So many wonderful conversations! This incredible, synchronistic convergence of more than a hundred of my fellow artists, and tens of thousands(!) of art-lovers from all over the world made New York’s first-ever Artist Project really special. You may have come to Pier 92 looking for inspiration, but meeting you all and having this opportunity to share my work with you inspired me. Thank you!

When I’m photographing, and later when I’m working on the photographs, I’m always listening for that little voice in my head that says “Go this way…” or “What if?” to guide me.

If I listen carefully, and if I do my job right, magic happens. A whisper of the voice of the muse becomes part of the photo, waiting for you to hear it remind you “life is beautiful, and anything is possible…”

Photography Is Not A Crime.

Gino — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:02:53 +0000

As of October 18, 2010, thanks to a successful NYCLU lawsuit on behalf of Antonio Musumeci, the federal government (finally) acknowledges that there are no federal laws or regulations prohibiting photography outside federal courthouses. Details here:

http://www.nyclu.org/news/nyclu-settlement-ends-restriction-photography-outside-federal-courthouses

And BTW, it’s also OK to shoot on the subway: NYCT Rules of Conduct on the Official MTA Site – section 1050.9(c). state that “Photography, filming or video recording in any facility or conveyance is permitted except that ancillary equipment such as lights, reflectors or tripods may not be used. Members of the press holding valid identification issued by the New York City Police Department are hereby authorized to use necessary ancillary equipment. All photographic activity must be conducted in accordance with the provision of these Rules.

iPhone Camera Backplate

Gino — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 00:16:50 +0000

iPhone-camera-crazed fanboy that I’ve become, here’s my own custom rangefinder-style iPhone4 camera backplate. The printed image, placed inside any clear-backed iPhone case (ie: Griffiin Reveal, Luxmo Crystal Case, etc.) makes the camera side of the phone look like a… camera. ; )

By popular request, here’s the print-res file for free download: www.jeanmiele.com/download/MieleiPhone4RFcam.jpg.zip

The image is a composite, of course, much like my landscapes and other fine-art pics. Thanks to several sources of inspiration: @petapixel, who posted about Yellow15 at nikonjin.com, who was inspired by BeyondTheTech.

Fun.
