Well the week was challenging. Interns leaving and new ones arriving, scheduling one shoot where the agency sent the model somewhere else and re-scheduling with a new girl who got sick and didn’t bother to call. Hair and make up and photographer ready to go and girl. There should be a law…
However my good friend Tony Baratta and his partner Bill Desmond (of Desmond and Baratta) received the HUE award given by Benjamin Moore for their use of color. This was the first time interior designers were chosen for this award. The prize was $5,000, which Tony and Bill donated to an HIV-AIDS charity (The Center for Special Studies at New York Presbyterian Hospital) and the wonderful people at Benjamin Moore donated another $5,000 to the same charity.
If you’d like to be inspired, get to the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum and see their latest exhibition, the National Design Triennial. It brings together experimental designs and ideas in animation, new media, fashion, etc, and about people thinking outside of the box. You leave feeling there’s hope for mankind!
Went to the NY Photo exhibition in DUMBO. As always, there was a lot to see and many wonderful photographers. As a curatorial effort I preferred Vince Aletti the best. The exhibition was an homage to Irving Penn, so all the images were still life. Sharon Core, Bill Jacobson, Laura Letinsky and Andrea Modica were just a few of many who’s working was moving and thought provoking. The diversity and quality of the images clicked with me.
