Exploring a pall scenery by painting. It makes us pay attention to the details which seemed obvious, yet intangible.  Painting the same scenery within some periods of time creates a bond with the painted place, tells a story of change. Especially curious project would be studying the scenery in different types of weather or seasons, even the time of the day, since it changes the image drastically, but the cityscape remains the same in our eyes.  It allows to study certain details, from a certain angle, and it is interesting how just these details remain familiar.

I am working with The Freshkills Park Alliance to create a video highlighting the wildlife and environmental restoration that nature is bringing about during Freshkills Park’s transformation from landfill to park. The video will be available as a free educational resource and shared during public programs that promote environmental awareness. You can make a donation to support this video project by clicking here: https://www.ioby.org/project/video-freshkills-park Even a small donation would help the Freshkills Park Alliance reach this goal. Every dollar will be matched thanks to a partnership with ioby and Con Edison, so your donation will go twice as far! Thank you for supporting my work. Please let me know if you have any questions about the video.

A photo essay documenting what will become Freshkills's East Park shows that new life can emerge from the most toxic environments.

Happy to have more of my Fresh Kills photos featured in urbanomnibus.com

April brought me back to Fresh Kills Park’s West Mound which is still being capped. Past images from the Capturing Change project have been published on Urban Omibus.

I have some really great news!

About a month ago, in mid-October, I was contacted by @deviantart for participating in a project. They had read my journal of how I was saving funds for a new camera, since my old 1000D had run out of shutter’s life, and decided I would be perfect for the new project by Sony.

4 photographer, me included, all received Sony mirroless cameras and were set out for a week-long shoot capturing change in each of our countries. I got myself a Sony a7R with E 55-210mm telephoto lens. I also thought a wider-angle lens would be really suited for the project, so using the fundraiser money, I got myself the Sony E 16mm F2.8 Pancake lens.

It was tons of fun and a big learning experience working with dA and with the other 3 photographers as well. They did a superb job too and for me it was very interesting to compare how similar and at the same time differently we went on our approach on the concept.

I urge you to check out the whole project as it’s really important to me and thank you everyone for supporting me. Without you guys, deviantART wouldn’t have seen me and I wouldn’t have been part of this project.

Thank you.
