This was originally a live webstream and the show started late, so skip ahead to about 58:00…….

Program for the night: Kramer O’Neill – Till Human Voices Wake Us; Anne Holmes – Color me Night; Raoul Gatepin – Piramid; Liz & Max Haarala Hamilton – Modern China; Leonora Chan – Theatres; Helga Steppan – My World; Atul Loke – The Great Imitator; Srinivas Kuruganti – Orissa; Teru Kuwayama – Afghanistan; Sohrab Hura – Pati

Color Me Night was born of several years of travel in Western and SE Asia, Africa, Europe and the United States. The projection is a glimpse at a body of work that will appear in book format, which is a collection of images, words, memories, and rewritten glories; moments lived under the cover of night when the world goes to sleep, and another one awakens. They are not meant to tell the story of the persons pictured, but rather, narrate the textural memory I formed of certain intervals or events around the time I made the photographs. This is a personal work, and a big departure from my documentary reporting on conflict, human rights and environmental issues, though it’s not an indication that the latter endeavors have ceased. To see the selection of images from this event, or the view entire archive for the book, please contact me at info@thelightbox.net for password keys.

In conjunction with Anthropographia and Reporters Without Borders (RSF), my multimedia dispatch The Kenyan Crisis will be screened this year during NY Photo Festival on Saturday, May 15 at 8 p.m. at the Brooklyn Bridge Plaza in NYC. The I will be present at this event.

I was unable to attend last year’s exhibit in Japan, but here are a few pictures from the two previous shows. In 2007 they showed my photographs from Afghanistan and Iran as well as some watercolors I made, and in 2008, photos from my Kurdish documentary project.
