My pictures aren’t about what you might call “consensus reality.” In fact, I’m much more interested in photography’s ability to interpret and transform the world than to record it. I’m fascinated by the persistent myth that “the camera never lies” and by the question, “What is reality, anyway, and do we have a hand in creating it?”
Sometimes art-making seems more like midwifery than creation. Inspiration arrives from some magical place. I’m interested in that place, and I’m interested in helping others find that place, too. My workshops are about connecting intuition, process, and technique (July 28–August 2 at the Santa Fe Workshops, and August 25–31 at the Maine Media Workshops), and I really enjoy working with photographers one-on-one to help them find their voice as artists.
I’ll be showing a variety of landscape images, as well as a selection from “Vestiges of Industry: Maritime Studies” which is currently on view on the Lilac, a Coast Guard cutter that’s retired and docked at Pier 25 in Manhattan.
The way we see things changes them, and the things we see change us. In this artist’s talk, photographer Jean Miele shares his work, and thoughts on photography as an extraordinary form of everyday magic – a means of exploration, divination, and transformation readily available to all of us.
I hope you’ll join us for this “PROJECTIONS.”
Produced by Frank Meo aka “the PhotoCloser” this monthly salon-style sharing of photographs at Photoshelter has proven to be an enormous success. Evening PROJECTIONS are about our photographic community engaging one another. The range of photographers who present is as diverse as the folks who’ve come to be inspired. In addition to photographers, presenters have included editors, designers, and all kinds of creatives showcasing their work to a creative and receptive crowd.
I’m looking forward to sharing my work with you, and to sharing the spotlight with Karen Zusman and Richard Sandler. There’s a lot of synergy among us, and it promises to be a special evening. Register here.
