Streets of Cuba: Overlapping Exposure Panoramas
Susan Bowen
"I traveled to Cuba with the Professional Women Photographers group and spent a week roaming the streets of Havana,Cienfuegos and the town of Trinidad. You won't find a more photogenic place than Cuba. Everywhereyou look are rich textures, beautiful color and interesting faces. And yes, those cars...you can't help but love those cars. The streets of Cuba are so distinctive and lively; it is a place like no other. Using a $20 plastic camera called the Holga, the long over- lapping images are created by only partially advancing the film between exposures --the overlapping occurring in the film itself."
Multiplex
Jean Nestares
Nestares, a photographer, author and painter from Spain, explains "My work is inspired by movements, people and the vigorous pulse of different cities. Multiplex is an assembly of photographic images transferred to fine art paper to create a new image that is freely interpretable by each viewer. Through different transmutations, I reinvent and give pictures a new energy and create new situations: the spectator is thus offered a different vision of the city." As in the past, the backbone of Nestares's work is movement, as she re-interprets her "City and People" theme through a new medium as she explores alternative-printing processes
Vacancy: Film Stills
Karen St. John Vincent
"I like to tell stories. I have been working with models, costumes and locations in my work for a very long time. The images I create have always suggested a story. It was a natural transition for me to try my hand at movie making. Vacancy is my first film, still in the works. The images in this show capture specific moments in the film. For me they represent stories within the story."
Polemics
Arnie Kastenbaum
Polemics is a series of images of simple objects presented in a manner that divorces them from the original. Each image is the combination of a positive and negative that when combined results in a transformation that yields an impressionistic view of the original with a new object created that did not exist before. Kastenbaum remarks, "Each positive and negative image is a hand crafted gelatin silver archival print ."
