sorry for the late post

So when I went to NYC Priscilla took us to this awesome gallery called Bonni Benrubi. They were showing a camera obscura collection by Abelardo Morell. His images are SO AWESOME in person. This gallery really likes to use light boxes for its images which I think is fantastic. This is an example of what a camera obscura does.

Also back in the fall Priscilla took our class to go see the Camille Seaman exhibit in the Old College gallery. Her shots are amazing. Never before has a photograph taken my breath away until I saw her shots of Icebergs. The presentation she had before it was equally as breathtaking, especially with the choice of music she played with her slideshow. I highly recommend seeing her exhibit before it gets taken down. I really can't put into words the beauty of her photography so you will have to see it for yourself. **Not only is her show about art but also the effects of global warming.**

Hi!

If you interested in Abelardo Morell's work check out the documentary Shadow of the House - Photographer Abelardo Morell

Working alone for over 7 years, director Allie Humenuk filmed Morell and his family both at home and abroad. It beautifully capture the artist and the artistic process. The film is having a successful run in festivals and at museums nationwide.

There are screenings of the film coming up at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (Dec 5th, 6pm) and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (Dec 11th, 4:30pm) Both Humenuk and Morell will be in attendance.
