Maine is in the blood. It's yin to the yang of city life. Necessary. Echo Lake has become a destination for my family since Great East has become crowded and a little more stringent with allowing dogs. Boooo... No worries, this lake has a lot less calamity and much more calm. Song by me not you...

Hudson Street Gallery Grand Opening Success

A special shout out to all that attended the Gallery grand opening. After the August Moon open house I didn't think the turnout would be as big for the GO but the Boston Photo Mob represented, and the street turnout was good even though the rain was threatening. Picks of the opening and general area can be seen here.

I don't know much about gallery openings, but this was a pretty cool time. Also, David, the driver behind much of the gallery's success, along with Charlie, the other driver and owner of the space, and I shared a pig cake on Sunday as the gallery was open but there was little fanfare. It was the worst pastry I've ever eaten (and I've been to a cinnabon people). That's not Charlie in the photo BTW. That's Jason Liu, one of the other photographers showing at the gallery. His site takes awhile to load but it's worth it just for the background music alone.

Yeah we could probably use a window wash...

Hudson Street Gallery Opens!!!

The August Moon Festival was held in Chinatown yesterday (August 17th, 2008) and the Hudson Street Gallery opened its doors to the general public to an impressive showing. Along with four local photographers, the Asian Community Develop Corporation exhibited poster-boards of the history of Hudson Street.

The four local photographers, myself, along with Brian Matiash, Jason Liu, and Jason Sundram all were present and the general atmoshpere in Chinatown was fantastic!

My prints were a set of 4 neighborhood shots of Chinatown. All photos we processed the same and shot with a similar style, generic in landscape, but without cars or people to convey a sense of emptiness ready to be filled. Here they are -









Feel free to contact me or the gallery for any questions about the prints or openings...

Thanks,
Lee

Hudson Street Gallery Friday night Prep...

Friday August 15th was prep day for the Hudson Street Gallery, which me and three good photo friends are showing photos in for the latter half of August and part of September. Here is a quick video of about an hour and a half of work. All photos shot with Nikon D300 at intervals of 10 seconds for about 90 minutes. I'm in the yellow shirt (that my mother bought me at "Flatbreads" in Portland, ME).

morning commute

Here's a short video of my morning commute. I strapped my camera on my bicycle and took a photo every second for the entire commute - about 13 minutes (892 photos). Enjoy -
