My good friend Paolo Jay Agbay and I are hosting a crit event on Saturday, May 12! Called ‘Finding Yourself in the Work’, it will be a great opportunity for photographers to come together, offline, to talk about their work and their goals. More info and registration here.
aipad's The Photography Show
I’m excited to share that I’m going to be participating in this year’s iteration of aipad’s The Photography Show. Happening April 23-27, 2025 at the historic Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan, I’ll be vending in the photobook section with a group of 10+ photographers from Philadelphia under the Gravy Studio umbrella.
Founded in 2011 in a converted motorcycle garage in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood, Gravy Studio has evolved from a brick-and-mortar gallery into a hybrid collective that continues to support photography through pop-up exhibitions, collaborative projects, its active online platform, and the annual 20/20 Photo Festival in Philadelphia. As one of Philadelphia’s only photography-specific collectives, Gravy champions a model of equal dialogue between artist and curator while amplifying socially and politically engaged photography. The artists representing Gravy at The Photo Show will feature work spaning documentary, experimental, conceptual, and historical photography.
I’ll have copies of Going, Going, my 2023 self published book, East Falls, my very first zine, as well as two prints for sale.
The costs to join a fair like this are significant. We have put together a fundraiser of donated books, zines and prints from our participating photographers, in order to help us cover as much of our costs as possible. If you're interested in checking it out and maybe supporting our efforts - all of the information can be found here: https://www.gravy-studio.com
Two New Zines and Jersey Art Book Fair
Excited to share two new photo zines, ‘False Impression’ and ‘I’m Getting My Ear Pierced This Summer’.
‘False Impression’ takes a look back at Eastern Pennsylvania, 19 years ago. Shot on black and white film, it’s a short reflection on an unknowable time. It’s 24 pages, 5.5x8.5 and costs $12.
‘I’m Getting My Ear Pierced This Summer’ is a little 6x6 gem, consisting of photos from 2007-2024. The title came from a painting I did last year, and it’s been rolling around in my head ever since. I’m going to the mall this summer. And I’m getting my ear pierced. It’s 16 pages and costs $9.
Both of these are available now on my website, found at the link in my bio.
Additionally, I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be vending at the Jersey Art Book Fair, next Saturday, February 22. I’ll have both of these new titles available, as well as almost everything else, and a few other surprises. If you’re up in that neck of the woods, I hope to see you there.
Photo Zine Workshop @ The Halide Project - Saturday, March 29
I’m excited to return to The Halide Project on Saturday, March 29 to facilitate another edition of my Photo Zine Workshop. This workshop allows experienced photographers to come together and get a rundown on the ins and outs of zine publishing, as well as pin up their own work on the walls for feedback and critique.
The workshop concludes with participants ready to move forward with self publishing their photo zines. Indie Photo is partnering with us, and will provide work prints for participants to have on hand at the workshop. Indie Photo is also excited to sell copies of finished zines from the workshop.
