lovely write-up by JENNIFER MACKENZIE at BARAKABITS on my exhibition + video. thank you.
ABU DHABI EVENTS recently profiled my exhibition. thanks for the support!
thank you YOUR MIDDLE EAST for supporting my work.
it’s always so flattering when MARI chooses to feature my work on her beautifully curated site. click to see more of the feature including my CAIRO photos + writing by inimitable CAIRO native KARIM EL-HAYAWAN. great job everybody.
in 2009 i traveled to SALVATION MOUNTAIN in the south desert region of california near slab city, niland + not too far from the salton sea. it’s the kind of place you go when you don’t want to be found. a group of us drove down there for a shoot + were honored to have the opportunity to meet LEONARD KNIGHT, creator of the famed mountain + folk art monument .
he formed the massive sculpture by covering bales of hay + dirt with concrete + paint. decades on it rose high in the sky, covered with bible verses conveying the message of universal love.
sadly, LEONARD died this week, but his beautiful gift to us all lives on.
thank you to CHRIS STAMP for capturing this moment of me capturing another.
we stopped in slab city for lunch + met some kind souls.
you will be missed, LEONARD.
thank you to australian site AMY FELDTMANN for featuring a selection of my EGYPT photos. always nice to see my work travel around the globe
to see my EGYPT release in its entirety head to WANDERLUSTFOUND
i’ve been hibernating for the past few weeks, working on an upcoming exhibition + book. but i did manage to sneak away for a new year’s celebrating with these noodles, ALEXIS + TODD.
couldn’t be prouder of TODD for his grammy nomination + the rest of the team behind the RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES record.
thanks RONY for this last photo of 2013.
a few days later i used the dual excuse of finishing my disposable camera + seeing this dear friend before his move to NY to grant myself another leave from the edit bay.
it was the ideal respite from work with MATT + NATE (working the camera + sadly not picture). thanks for bringing me out, boys.
