Camilo Cruz "Theater of Souls"

Working in a downtown Los Angeles courthouse, I have encountered low-income people at the mercy of system-driven attorneys; unattended brown and black babies crawling on marble floors; prowling sheriff deputies flirting with teenage girls. I once saw a short man read the palm of a tall and attractive woman outside of a death penalty proceeding.

These and other scenes are simultaneously beautiful and nightmarish, emotional and cold. These are the human dramas that are occurring in the courthouse everyday. I see these scenes because I am a public administrator in the Los Angeles Superior Court. But I am also photographer.

My position in the Los Angeles County Courts grants me access to the people and environments that constitute our nation’s system of justice (and injustice). Since cameras are prohibited in the public spaces of the courthouse, I make my photographs after normal working hours. Inside the courthouse I pose people as litigants, attorneys, judges and other characters to create tableaus, which reveal to the viewer emotional truths which might go unnoticed if not emphasized by the boundaries of a photograph.

As with many Angelenos, I have gone to jury duty selections in downtown LA. The hours of sitting in a room that reminds me a lot of airport waiting rooms - people temporarily occupying space. Currently at Angels Gate Cultural Center down in San Pedro is Camilo Cruz's exhibition "Theater of the Souls" and runs till Aug 29th.

BTW : If you do get call for jury duty, know there is free wifi. Yes, I've actually have blogged while sitting in there. ^^

Phototasting (7/31)

(photo : Nads' Bakery)

I got this in my Inbox over the weekend about food plus photography = a workshop where you can learn the basics of photography plus try out delicious dishes. The event is run by local LA food bloggers and you can see photos from their last Phototasting posted on Flickr here. Okay, I'm getting hungry just looking through the photos !

Do you like food? Do you like taking photos? Do you like taking photos of food? Phototasting is a unique opportunity to do all of the above with the guidance of several Los Angeles restaurant bloggers and the gorgeous regional Italian fare by Cube Cafe. Not only will you practice capturing the gastronomical splendor of Cube Cafe's menu which changes constantly with the seasons, you will get to sample cheese & salumi from around the globe, and meet the faces behind Cube's pure charm.

This workshop offers simple tips for both point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras and is geared toward photography of dishes in restaurants. Through hands-on demonstrations, you will learn elementary elements of exposure, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. The interactive presentation will also introduce basic composition and digital post-production techniques.

LA restaurant/food blogger extraordinaire Daily Gluttony and others will guide attendees through this fun gastrophotoblogging experience.

The event is $50 and can be purchase here. Here's some blog posts about their last event in Feb 2010 -> here and here.

Rolfe Horn "Landscape" (7/24)

A photographer since childhood, Rolfe Horn makes images you can get lost in: quietly spectacular evocations-not just visual records-of their subjects. 'There is a certain point in time,' he says, 'where the harmony of light, atmosphere, and spirit collide, a place in the cosmos where the rhythm of nature unfolds in front of the camera. This can only happen once.'

This exhibition is Duncan Miller's fourth in the series of solo shows from San Francisco-based artists. Interesting note : In the 90s, Rolfe assisted for Michael Kenna who just had an opening for "Venice and Emilia-Romagna" at Craig Krull Gallery over at Bergamot Station.

Graciela Iturbide "Asor" (7/24)

“The camera is an excuse to share the life of the people, the rhythm and simplicity of festivities, to discover my country. While using my camera I am, above all, an actress participating in the scene taking place at the moment, and the other actors know what role I play. I never think of my images as a project, I simply live the situations and photograph them; it is afterwards that I discover the images.” --Graciela Iturbide

Graciela Iturbide came late to photography. Born in Mexico City in 1942, she was married and a mother of three before she embarked on her photography career. Looking for something new, she enrolled in film school in 1969. Here she was introduced to a visual way of thinking and the films of Fellini, Pasolini, Visconti and Bunuel. During her studies in film she also met the photographer Manual Alvarez Bravo, who later invited her to be his creative assistant. Traveling with Bravo, photographing Mexico’s indigenous people gave Iturbide a new insight into her own culture and its people. Influenced by both Bravo and the Surrealism of filmmaker Bunuel, Iturbide combined Bravo’s understanding of his roots with Bunuel’s fascination with religion and mysticism. She further displayed an ability to see the diabolic beauty in violence. Her work, while still documentary in nature, took on a psychological as well as spiritual edge that distinguished her from other photographers working in the ethnographic tradition. (via)

Tim Mantoani " Focus on Your Passion: Finding Yourself in Photography"

Good points he mention at 10:01 / 15:20 / 23:42 / 26:43 /

Tim Mantoani talks in this PhotoShelter webinar about photography. Tim if you recall is a San Diego-based photographer probably best known (at least to me) for his Behind Photography Project where he photographed legendary photographers holding a print of the image they are best known for.


If you were lucky enough to be at MOPLA 2009, his work was exhibited at the Pacific Design Center.

Edition One Hundred : I Love LA

LA is my home away from home.

LA can be anything you want it to be. Precisely because LA is so sprawling makes it natural for clusters of communities and groups to organize and occur. From the Valley to Santa Monica and everywhere in between, there are thriving art scenes. People say that the geography divides us but I think it's created this dynamic place of subcultures and communities where one can easily navigate within, or get to. That's the undercurrent I get...you have to be pretty organized and determined here; there's not much whimsy.

LA is large enough that local communities now have their own artwalks, from North East LA (NELA), Downtown, Miracle Mile, Venice, Culver City, LIttle Tokyo. People have a tendency to organize around geography and local communities that serve the needs of those areas. With the recession, we're seeing more pop ups shops, and group collaborations that occupy retail spaces and share/absorb the expenses in order to promote art.

I LOVE LA is about the artists who chose LA, who create in LA and who help to inspire Los Angelenos and the world. These artists belong to their own respective communities. In bringing them together under Edition One Hundred, they get to belong to another community, or the first "class" of Edition One Hundred artists, if you will.

I selected artists that have inspired me, or inspired hundreds of individuals here in Los Angeles; artists that are total unknowns but are super-prolific; and artists whose fame has secured them legions of fans. The artists all have different end products, some will chose the digital path, and some will remain in the traditional photo printing technology. Some will chose to use serigraphs as their prints, and other digital reproductions, so it's about what feels right to the artist themselves.

I am a lover of the arts, especially photography. For me, collecting is a luxury that I most often cannot afford. I, alongside many of my friends, follow many artists and hope to be able to afford their pieces in the future that are sold through galleries, but in the meantime, there is this great possibility where new technology can create a new space for selling art more affordably. Every artist that I am inviting is an artist that I'd love to support and also to collect. It's that simple. - Cat Jimenez, founder

Edition One Hundred is curated, limited edition art available in editions of 100, priced at $100.00. Prints are signed and numbered by the artists in a size exclusive to Edition One Hundred. Ten percent of the sale goes to a charity of the artist's chosing.

The first six artists are : B+, Augustine Kofie, Estevan Oriol, Miles Regis, Katie Shapiro and Tasya van Ree.

If you take a look at the site, you'll find interviews with each artist as well as the charity that they've picked that a portion of the sale will go to.
