For this week’s S+ART post, I caught up with Eric Petersen, who’s transforming his instant film trash into usable negatives. Cool, huh?

Catching up

I got a little behind linking to blog posts and articles. Here they are from the past few weeks:

08Aug - Examiner: Tourists Abroad: Photography on the Charles Bridge in Prague
11Aug - Examiner: Tourists at Home: Photography at the Arlington County Fair
11Aug - S+ART: Emotions & Photos
04Aug - S+ART: Summer Vacation Photos
28JUL - S+ART: Motivation

I’m also on the DCist staff now so there’s that, too….will be writing the Arts Agenda about once or twice a month, and maybe doing some other stories, as well.

The Wilson Bridge has a dedicated lane for walkers and cyclists and is great for shooting sunset photos over the river. Examined.

Next up…

Wall Mountables opens this Friday at DC Arts Center in Adams Morgan. You’ll have until August 29th to get down to see some of my latest work, which is a departure from anything I’ve ever done before. I realize it’s record-breaking hotness out there these days, but with the gallery right on 18th Street, there are many options to grab a cold beverage before and after the show. So, stay home and be thirsty or come out and have fun (it’s a no-brainer…).

I’ll be showing new work that has really only come together within the past few weeks, and I’m still working out the kinks, so expect to see more in the future. These are instant film emulsion transfers, and they really need to be seen in person:

Wall Mountables runs from Friday, July 23rd through Sunday, August 29th at the DC Arts Center, 2438 18th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 2-7 p.m.
