Art Basil and VERGE!

I have been meaning to post  something about my experience here for quite some time and I am just getting my head around to the idea- basically it is YOU HAVE TO GO!  It is a wonderful experience seeing friends from New York in the warmth of Miami in Dec!  There are collectors in New York that will fly to Miami to purchase work that WON"T cross the bridges to get to brooklyn so its helpful for the brooklyn galleries to be there!  Art fans- there is a hostel there that hosted one of the art fairs this past year, maybe with a little bit of work the rest of the hostel can be taken over by art and artists and make the entire hostel arted....

Brace for Impact on Elizabeth Avedon's blog

I met Elizabeth at ASMPNY's  Mary Virginia Swanson lecture   earlier in November.  We talked briefly about the ASMPNY  board  and then that was about the end of it until i got a sweet email from her about the photos from flight 1549 and asking if it would be ok to post them on her blog- the story is here thank you Elizabeth!

VERGE ART FAIR

I am pleased to share with  you that the images from flight 1549 and the American Reclamation project will be at VERGE artfair in Miami hosted by Frontroom Gallery.   December  3-6  Please stop by

If a tree falls

MacTribe podcast interview

Interview by MacTribe at Photo Plus at Sigma's gallery opening of our images shot with the DP-2.

16,996 emails and I lost taco bell

Latest  email blast that i did which features the image in the Communication Arts Photo Annual this year.
Numbers are looking good over 3000 opened it, i only lost a handful of people including someone at Taco bell ( i think i could make some GREAT photos at their packaging plant)

one more from sigma dp-2

this wasn't one that made it into the show but after our monthly crit group last nite and realizing that it looks a little like the side view of a nicely made cake i figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to put it out there- tasty!

One more iCal

Our friend Michel Leroy recently shared his art deadlines iCal with me. You can subscribe to this one as well here

Oil Delivery for AARP

The USS New York

I have been meaning to photograph this vessel for about two years once I heard that the hull was going to incorporate some of the steel from the twin towers.  Here she is docked next to the USS Intrepid

catching up on it again- a good couple of weeks

ok what a nice crazy  two weeks!  


Webster University students at frontroom gallery, Jacqueline Bovaird from Glass house and I spoke for about 2 hrs on photo stuff, was really nice (she's a great speaker if you ever need one!).  The PPE parties were fun with the Hasselblad and Pop photo parties topping them out damn good mini burgers! The reception of my work at Sigma's  booth at PPE was nice with a couple of new introductions and a web tv interview that I should have soon.  Then ASMPNY's  Print on Demand event at PPE  was well received with over 80 people attending  I was really glad we weren't all alone in the room speaking to a blank wall!  THEN  AARP editorial, and one more shoot  that i am in love with.  Sat nite  Front Room Gallery's  ten year anniversary show opened  with two of my images from flight 1549  in the show  along with Amanda Alic, Sasha Bezzubov, Thomas Broadbent, Ethan Crenson, Eric Guzman, Sean Hemmerle, Allan Packer, Melissa Pokorny, Emily Roz, Philip Simmons, Patricia Smith, Mark Stilwell and Edie Winograde.  Yesterday I was speaking at Suffolk County Community College where I am also on the advisory board (Thank you Allen!)   AND i just got a request to be a mentor / speaker at SVA next month.  That's about it for October

the portfolio review, a confession

I have to admit  the entire reason i got involved with doing portfolio reviews  was so I could meet  more creatives.  It was just a happy accident that everyone else benefits  from it too.  Its  really the perfect balance for me,  I get to call and meet these creatives and at the same time so does everyone else.  OK, done on the confession.  Last week ASMPNY  hosted the annual commercial review that i have helped run for a number of years.  Roy Hsu, Sarah Small, Jason Gardner, Matt Greenslade, Michelle  Kwaka, Susan MayTell,  Christine Austin, and others over the years  have helped put this review together  and it is a growing success.   Thank you to Tribeca Skyline Studio last week, it is an amazing space and for sure played  a major part  in how the event ran with all of their support.  Here are a  couple of reviewers that posted  after the event.
Stella Kramer
Fresh Produce
Catherine Talese on  SPD (Society of Publication Designers)
           Thanks again to everyone who has donated time over the years  to be a reviewer at the portfolio reviews!

young photographers alliance

What a great nite  - three choices of deviled eggs, nice beer, friendly staff, got a chance to say hi to Mark Seliger who i haven't talked to in ten years.  A number of colleagues, friends, and artists were all there donating their time and their prints and it always makes me happy seeing the community getting together to support our arts. I had two prints available at the auction and I am  very flattered by all of the bidding  that went on to get these two images.  It was a great event, looks like it raised quite a bit of money for the scholarships,  so  congratulations  to YPA  for a great event!

Brace for impact, the aftermath of flight 1549

The Front Room Presents  "Brace For Impact: the aftermath of flight 1549" Photographs by Stephen Mallon September 10th-October 11th, 2009 Reception Sat. Sept 12th, 7-10 Viewing hours: Fri-Sun 1-6 and by appointment "On Jan. 15, 2009, a few Canadian geese with bad timing became snarge, a steely pilot became a hero, and the world became fascinated with images of a jet splashing into the Hudson River and then floating calmly as passengers crowded its wings. But until now, few people have seen the equally surprising pictures of the second half of this story: when a salvage team used the biggest floating crane on the East Coast to pluck the ill-fated Airbus A320 from the frigid water.” Matthew Shechmeister, “Wired Magazine” Front Room Gallery is pleased to present Stephen Mallon's "Brace For Impact: the aftermath of flight 1549.” It is very difficult to encapsulate the events that happened during and following the crash of flight 1549, but Stephen Mallon's large-scale photographs, taken during the salvage of the fuselage and engine, impart a physicality and scale to these incomprehensible occurrences. Mallon's photos present us with the aftermath of this disaster and remind us how it was averted despite nearly unbeatable odds through the mastery and bravery of the pilot and crew. Never before has a commercial aircraft crashed in the Hudson with the complete survival of all passengers and crew. They were rescued by the Circle Line sightseeing cruise ferry (along with other rescuers) almost instantly. Men, women and children waited their turns patiently standing on the wings of the plane, half-submerged in the icy water on what felt like the coldest day of the year. This feat is a testament to the bravery of the crew and passengers. As the fuselage and engine of the aircraft were later brought up intact by a gigantic crane and a team of divers in heated wetsuits, Stephen Mallon captured the moment standing on the deck of the crane-barge. In Mallon's uncanny photographs the plane sometimes appears to be a metaphorical wounded animal, like a whale lifted completely out of the water. It is damaged, beat up and missing one of its engines, but it nevertheless survives. The divers, in their heated wetsuits with huge face-gear, seem like astronauts floating through an icy void in space. And, we finally get a glimpse of the famous engine—disabled by some unfortunate Canadian geese—in a stunning pseudo-portrait by Stephen Mallon as it is lifted from some eighty feet of icy water.

Flashes of Hope

USAirways original request for my photos

 USAirways originally thanked me for shooting the salvage and asked to have the images for their archives.   When they didn't want to pay for any of the images I decided to hold of on releasing them to USAirways....

Thank you all for your support!  Hopefully AIG and USAirways will change their mind soon and let me have my photos back on line and hopefully i will be able to produce that dream show i had in mind  when I originally finished the images for Weeks Marine and J. Supor and Son.
