Why didn’t I think of this?

Update: Here’s a blog where the proprietors photoshop out the the dead people from album covers. via Dangerous Minds.

Photo Dump for the Holidays

Here are various pics from the last few months. Captions are included.

Hot August Night Gallery

Here are some miscellaneous night photos I took over the summer, all similar in subject matter to what I’ve shot before. The difference here is that I started doing some color correction for the pervasive outdoor tungsten lighting that is now in most urban cities. Enjoy!

Hugh Haggerty Photo Show, August 2011

I’ll have a total of seven photos on display at SIP for the month of August with a reception August 4th, 6-9 pm. SIP is a small bar/restaurant and this is very informal. I usually DJ there on Thursday nights and will be DJing early and late the night of the reception.

As New York gentrification hits more remote spots, I have my doubts that certain places will change as rapidly as some neighborhoods did in the past. (Also, my photo show at SIP may be postponed. Stay tuned.)

Photo Show at SIP

I said this a while back back but I’ll have a (very) small exhibit of photos up at SIP (998 Amsterdam at 110th St, NYC) starting around July 2 for the month with an opening reception on July 7. Expect surprises but no dick shots of course.

Dante Park

I was setting up at Lincoln Center (after midnight) and got booted so I took these shots across the street at the small park across the street. This was a couple weeks ago before the spring leaves came in.

Yesterday, I watched the movie, Fair Game, which is a not very fictionalized account of the Valerie Plame affair. I’m both amused and disgusted with reviews in various places that say the movie is complete fiction and the reviewers trot out all the fake GOP talking points (i.e., Plame was a CIA secretary) and rant about how anything with Sean Penn isn’t worth watching because he is obviously a communist.

Anyway, Ms. Plame in the DVD commentary says at one point: “Look at that! Great shot. Whole lotta nothin.’” She’s talking about a desert shot in the film but for a second, I felt a little vindicated in my aesthetic.

All Knotted Up

So I have the friggin back wall at SIP. Now I have to friggin decide what to show in big size.

Night Daffodils

The early blooms are out of course and I locked myself out of my apartment the other night but I had my camera and there wasn’t much wind so I fired off some (ha, 10+ second exposures) night shots. We’re getting hit by that massive rainstorm so a lot of these yellow friends will be trashed already. More bloomin’ to come.

Getting Artsy Again

My photos were accepted for an exhibit at SIP! It won’t be until the summer sometime. Stay tuned! Also, I edited many 2010-2011 night snow photos down into a gallery which I’ll upload probably later today. I have been having tech problems with my Canon and Mac OSX! Nothing new I find out.
