Denise Keim/Jim Newberry photo show this Saturday night art, events, exhibits | (0)
The enormously talented Denise Keim and I are teaming up this Saturday for a one night, two-stop photo show. I'll be showing brand new work along with some old favorites, including stereo (3D) slides. Denise has a plethora of gorgeous black & white prints. I'll be at my studio, and Denise will be at hers for the duration of the show (we're hoping to have a video linkup).

“There’s a place for murder in the Exquisite City” architecture, events, exhibits, film/video, gear, music, news, travel | (0)
. After being coaxed from his shell, the inimitable impresario Tim Tuten gives a highly energetic and tongue-in-cheek tour of the fantastic cardboard metropolis called The Exquisite City. I shot this video at the original opening of the exhibit at the Viaduct Theater last November. A few weeks ago the show moved to the Chicago Tourism Center, where it remains until March 15th. The show was curated by Kathleen Judge and features work by a bunch of talented artists. Check out the Exquisite City site for more info.

[caption id="attachment_682" align="aligncenter" width="455" caption="Stereo anaglyph by Jim Newberry"][/caption] I'll be projecting 3D/stereo photos as part of Pecha Kucha Night this Tuesday at Martyrs'. Everyone attending gets free 3D glasses (which are required to get the 3D effect from anaglyph stereo photos like the one above)! But what is Pecha Kucha Night?
