Move Moving Movement

Short series put together in response to a call for the members show “Move, Moving, Movement” at the Soho Photo Gallery celebrating our gallery’s move to Chelsea after spending 40 years in Tribeca. The move is complete and the opening reception is on the 17th - you can read more about the history of the gallery here.

I couldn’t be more thrilled to have become a member at this time in our history. One image from this series is in the show - please note this is NOT a picture of the gallery or the the show itself. This was my personal response to the call.

Series Statement:

The interplay between the words“move,” “moving,” and “movement” offers a rich, layered lens through which to explore the theme of transition and transformation—perfect for a photographic series symbolizing a shift from one space to another after four decades.

Together, these words create a narrative tapestry. “Move” marks the starting point; “moving” captures the ephemeral in-between; and “movement” crystallizes the story as a whole, echoing change not just as action but as essence. My visual haiku on the subject consists of images taken at times of great moving in my own creative practice - all are part of exercises from different workshops over the years yet clearly part of a collective whole.

The Space Between

There is a space between stimulus and response that creates a place for us to grow into ourselves. Welcome.

i : Untitled, Yet It Is

Echos between worlds. About something palpable, dreamlike paths emerge.

ii: Remnants of Things Left Behind

Left behind whispers; fragments grow, feeding forward. Look deep, and you'll see.

iii: Oblique Views

Intuition mine, faith and time guide open eyes—unseen threads connect.

iv: Homographs

Contexts shift and merge,  Meaning bends, meaning rewrites—the space between breathes.

Consecutives

Consecutives offers us the opportunity to consider how one thing always follows the next.

Being made with an Olympus PenF camera with the original gothic F, unique vertical viewfinder and a double-stroke film advance,  serial number 294255 - these diptychs (and longer runs) are all made in-camera, permenantly placed in sequence on a strip of light sensitive film.

This provokes a different mindset while photographing; it isn’t enough to concentrate only on the image at hand.  There are no “throw-away’s” for fear of ruining a sequence. What came before and what comes next always has to be considered, or not.

This project continues to inform - and is still very much in progress.

My Instagram Grid - The End of How It Started

These are the last 20 posts from my instagram feed, which I started 196 posts ago back in 2020 with a picture of the Playland sign welcoming visitors to the pool, beach, boardwalk and amusement park in Rye. This coincided with the relaunch of this website and one of my first Galleries here - Reflections of Me: Playland. The sign, like my desire to continue with instagram as a way of showcasing work the way i was no longer exists.

I will try to recreate my full instagram grid here for archival purposes as I will not continue to use that medium as i have been. I will use it to promote new work and content created here on this website.
