Steve McCurry has an amazing show down at the VP gallery on Buffalo in the Third Ward, it is a breathtaking show with work in it everyone should see, with no reguard as to weather or not they are a photo major, I've been down to it several times and wouldn't mind going again. Gallery night, however, was just a week ago and I havn't been down there since before it, so I am not sure if the new photographer has the main gallery space. McCurry's work is in the permenant collection, it was not a temporary exibit, so I would expect the majority of it to be there anyways. If anyone wants to go, I'd be happy to go down there again.

Forgotten Spaces

Forgotten Spaces

One of my three works in progress, I've been working on a series or three for a few months now. This one is my pride and joy.... so are my other two, but that doesn't matter. Here's a couple shots from it. What I'm going for here is finding composition, and of course beauty in forgotten spaces. I've been finding them all over Wisconsin, as well as Minnesota and every other state I'll be going to for the next few years probably. I've had a particularly large ammount of success in some of the great abandoned factories around milwaukee. Slovoy Coke and Gas, the no longer accessible Pabst Brewery, and an old fertilizer factory in Oak Creek. My series isn't just any old pealing paint urban decay series we've all seen. It's an investigation into the places that were once alive with people, machines, electricity, and energy of life.
