Today I am leavin’ on a jet plane to install a solo show at the Rankin Gallery in Big Rapids, Michigan. The show is called “Dark Light” and will focus on three of my most recent works: In the Night, Songs of Glories Long Since Past, and After the Storm. We hang the show on Monday and open on Tuesday, following a slideshow presentation where I will discuss the process behind making each of the works and get into a little bit of esoterica about what the works mean on a psychological, archetypal, geographical, historical, and meteorological level. The three works travel from the streets of New York’s gritty but gentrified Lower East Side to the fantasy world of the Venetian Carnevale to the windswept sandy world of the Outer Banks, but they all have threads of commonality running through them, and in putting together my presentation, i think I have begun to understand them all a bit better. Anyway, I’m sure most of you are too far away from Western Michigan to attend, but I just thought I’d put it out there just in case. The opening is on Tuesday November 3, and runs to November 20. If you can’t make that, maybe you can catch me in Washington, DC on November 7, where I have an opening at Fight Club, as part of “David Alan Harvey Presents…” At that show I will be showing images only from After the Storm. But it is sure to be a huge event, and we are all very excited about it. More details to follow.

It’s hard to believe it’s already over.  It feels like we’re still waiting for summer to kick in.  Between the rain, the wind, the cool temperatures, it’s like we skipped a season or something.  None of the paralyzing heat and humidity that sucks the life out of you every August, making you dream of places like Maine or Ireland or anywhere the daytime temps stay below 85…None of the flat spells that drive surfers to drink or contemplate a permanent move to Costa Rica.  This summer we had hardly a day over 80 it seemed, and there were waves somewhere almost every day.   No, it wasn’t your average OBX summer, but I’ll take it.  I’ll take it every year.  If every summer was like this past one, I’d never leave.   Tons of good surf, beautiful afternoons driving around with the top down, and a few good friends thrown into the mix.   What more could a feller ask for than that?  Yes boys and girls, this has been quite a swell summer, over too soon for sure.    Okay, so we’re all near broke and the economy is still in the tank, and everybody’s searching under their couches for a couple of bucks to buy dinner…and winter is on its way…but what the hell.  Better broke and happy than rich and miserable, right?

I’ve got more photos to post, many more, but I’ve been putting off this summertime post for so long, things are starting to get backed up.  More in a few days.  Until then, sit back, pop open a Pacifico or a Corona, and enjoy the last lingerings of summer.   It’s gonna be a while til the next one…

Last month I had the privilege of working with Chris Grace, the man behind the band Blacklight Rumble, on a series of promotional images.   Chris and the band–Joey McClellan (lead guitar), Aaron McClellan (bass), Marc Slutsky (drums) and Pete Remm (keyboard)–have recently signed a distribution deal with Sony/RED records, and will be releasing their debut EP on Itunes, Rhapsody, Emusic and other online music stores beginning September 29th.  In the meantime you can check them out at http://www.blacklightrumble.com/ and http://www.myspace.com/blacklightrumble. Be sure to check out the lead song, “Savior”, a masterpiece of lyricism and melody.  The first time I heard this song it stuck in my head for days, with Grace’s impeccable voice and cascading phrasing making my head bob and sway, as if nodding in agreement with the haunting message of the lyrics.  It is, on one level, a question posed specifically to one man who placed millions of innocents in danger with his game of global chess; but on a larger level, it is a question to all of us, who either by support of the war machine or blind acceptance of the Military Industrial Complex that props up our way of life, need to really think about the repercussions of the Way it Is…But like any great song, it has meaning beyond this, as well.   Who among us has used our power carelessly over those less powerful than ourselves, believing in our hubris that it won’t ever be us on the receiving end of tragedy and oppression?

Savior

How many lives you gonna lose
Before you change the plan
Stop fighting off extremism
With your own version

Carelessly, carelessly
You swam too far from the beach
Treading there, losing air
A hasty child aching for higher ground

When will it get to the point
That you start to notice
You’ve been tearing up the joint
When the blood runs right to your throne
And the dirge starts playing
To lament one of your own
Maybe then you’ll know what it means to need a savior

How can you measure victory
When loss is infinite
Dead scrolling down my tv screen
More like a list of undergraduates

Lie to me, lie to me
The way you lie to yourself
Float along, fathers son
Or break those borrowed wings

When will it get to the point
That you start to notice
You’ve been tearing up the joint
When the blood runs right to your throne
And the dirge starts playing
To lament one of your own
Maybe then you’ll know what it means to need a savior.

Time and again
Like children who don’t read
The story til the end
We light the underbrush
Before we check the wind
The blowback come again
And your still blowing kisses

When will it get to the point
That you start to notice
You’ve been tearing up the joint
When the blood runs right to your throne
And the dirge starts playing
To lament one of your own
Maybe then you’ll know what it means to need a savior

–Chris Grace, Blacklight Rumble

Grace will soon be working on a video for the song which will, by the sounds of it, be extremely powerful.  I won’t give away the concept, but I look forward to seeing it.

Listen, listen, and buy it. You can buy their debut EP on Itunes, Rhapsody, Emusic and
other online music stores beginning September 29th. Tell your ma, tell your pa, these guys are damn good and should be heard.

We had a great time with this shoot, roaming the streets and bars of South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, popping in for a drink here and there.  Below are some of my favorites from the shoot.  Many, Many thanks to our two beautiful assistants Kerry Payne and Annatruus Bakker for helping with lighting, being “on it”, and adding to the fun. I look forward to seeing and hearing from these guys more in the future.

Copies of After the Storm are available for purchase here or at the project’s dedicated website, www.after-the-storm.net.

Signed and numbered prints are also available through my Photoshelter Account. If you would like other sizes, please email me. I am still in the process of customizing the account.

Also, please take a look at today’s NYTimes.com article on the project, and a photographer profile on the NYTimes Lens Blog.

And, one more article that came out last week: University of Virginia Magazine….

Enjoy!!
