TRUDI, Los Angeles, CA 90012

My last Day in Los Angeles a few weeks ago I fought LA traffic for nearly 2 hours, Santa Monica to Chinatown. What a mission. After the stopping and starting I arrived to meet up with Matt Chambers an old friend from School in Miami. He has a very tight gallery, TRUDI(click here for current show) See below for rest of the documentation of the space and the other gallery space next door.

Tod Papageorge in BOMB

There is a nice interview with Tod Papageorge in BOMB this month. I wasn't too familar with his work only of his leadership role at Yale's Photography program. I look forward to checking out his book. Its also always interesting to see another photographer's view on something so close to your own experience, in this case, Central Park.

Lost in LA, (NY and Philly)

Last week I traveled out to LA, NY, and Philadelphia on work. I had a bit of free time to explore LA and Philadelphia more then I have in many years. LA surprised me a lot of my old West cost thoughts were wrong (except for the traffic and the smog) Santa Monica to China Town in 2 hours? Can't see the Mountains but there are no clouds? LA is a very photographic city and I almost want to live there just to photograph it, but I digress... I will try an post some pictures from the trip this week. Sometime after the election.
