Episodic Curiousity


Tierney Gearnon's photography straddles all three lanes on a moral highway. Dare to check into her website for the fast lane or enjoy her feature in The New York Times Magazine for those who like to coast on the far right. The mix of landscape, Plexiglas and children featured in her work makes it uniquely funky.

Goal Oriented



French photographer "JR" is known for posting his enormous portraits on urban facades. The social context he weaves into his art is uniquely sensational.
In Mexico, the portraits are of crime victims. His goal was to reduce regional stats by illuminating a face of hardship.
In the Middle East, the subjects are of Israeli and Palestinian citizens... positioned individually but, ear to ear and simply smiling. His goal was to suggest the idea of peace.
SOHO has been tattooed with portraits of Native American Indians. His goal was to raise awareness of the plight of the Dakotas.

His installations are worth a thousand words.

Digital Delight


Cig Harvey is an enigmatic photographer brokered through the Robin Rice Gallery in NYC. Focusing on a soliloquy of self portraits, I love the series she has designed using the landscape as her shadow box. Recognizing her editorial potential, J. Crew and Kate Spade have equally snapped her up. Her vantage point is pixelated perfection.
