Scott Brooks at Long View
I heard that the amazing Scott Brooks' opening at Long View Gallery was not only packed to the gills, but it is also selling well. Check out pictures from the opening here.
Joyce Tenneson Talk Tomorrow
Joyce Tenneson is easily the most famous "once former DMV area photographer who moved to NYC" type.
Three of her photography books are among the top ten best-selling photography books of all time, and her work is in the collection of dozens of museums worldwide and her photographs have appeared on countless covers for magazines such as: Time, Life, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, Premiere, Esquire and The New York Times Magazine.
She will be giving a slide show and lecture as part of Fotoweek DC at the Torpedo Factory, on Sunday Nov.7 at 6:30PM, lst floor. "A Photographers Life" is the subject of her talk. Preceding that is a reception at Multiple Exposures Gallery on the 3rd floor.
