During Art Basel 2015, I covered the fairs, events, art walks and collections for American Photo's Instagram. American Photo interviewed me about the experience. Below is a recap of the fairs through my lens. These images were cross posed to my Instagram account.

NEW PRESS: "In the Shadow of the Black Sun" in American Photo
My Black Sun Project is included in an article by John Mahoney, In the Shadow of the Black Sun, for this month's American PHOTO. The article is also viewable online here. Contemporary artists Chris McCaw, Hans-Christian Schink, Thodoris Tzalavras, Amelia Konow are featured in the piece, along with the work of Ansel Adams and Joseph-Philibert Girault.
I showed Black Sun Project in Miami at the Bas Fisher Invitational in a 2008 solo show. It's nice to view the pieces included with other black suns to give it more context. Interesting to see how the works of these artists began around the same time.
Art Basel Miami Beach 2011 Recap
This post was cross-posted in The Camera Club of New York's Blog.
Over the past ten years, I have attended Art Basel in Miami. Each year is a little different with an evolving program of events. The city of Miami has grown up along with this fair. There are so many events to attend that it can be overwhelming. Art Basel Miami Beach is a social event as much as it is about buying and selling art. If you have never attended, it’s a great opportunity to see photography, both old and new, mixed with other art in unexpected ways in this grand capitalistic experiment. Check out my highlights below.
