All Things Art & Photography
Viviane Sassen is a fashion photographer who lives in Amsterdam but her heart beats for Africa. What I like about her work is how she somehow weaves the personal & fashion with street & high art. It’s always what she does not show you that makes you want more. See her series Ultra-Violet and her Sketch Book

The New York Post ran this article claiming residents of a Tribeca apartment building are furious over being secretly photographed by artist Arne Svenson whose exhibition now runs at Julie Saul Gallery. The images are actually pretty good and in no way show any faces but how would you feel being photographed secretly day in and day out?

Modeled on the teacher/apprentice model the beautiful Cranbrook Academy of Art is an art makers utopian dream where all students and teachers live and work on the same street in a stunning European village and park setting. Yearly, a mere 8-10 students are accepted in each department. Don’t be fooled by its good looks. Founded by Eliel Saarinen and George Booth it remains one of the most prestigious graduate programs in the country. A word to the wise; Students applying here should have a mature body of work under their belts. Worth a day trip to see the Saarinen House and Cranbrook Museum. A shout-out to the Motor City!

Benson works hard on NASA images by combining multiple images and adding color.
“The process of creating full-color images from black-and-white raw frames—and mosaic composites in which many such images are stitched together—can be quite complicated,” Benson writes. “In order for a full-color image to be created, the spacecraft needs to have taken at minimum two, but preferably three, individual photographs of a given subject, with each exposed through a different filter… ideally, those filters are red, green, and blue, in which case a composite color image can usually be created without too much trouble. But in practice, such spacecraft as the Cassini Orbiter or the Mars Exploration Rovers … have many different filters, which they use to record wavelengths of light well outside of the relatively narrow red, green and blue (RGB) zone of the electromagnetic spectrum that human eyes can see.”
All Photography all time the Catherine Edelman Gallery has been a corner stone in the Chicago gallery scene for over 2 decades. Her Chicago Project is “an online gallery devoted to new and established photographers in the Chicago area who we feel deserve recognition”. Lots of great artist talks on her YouTube channel. See why Catherine has one of the best eyes in the business.
