Andy Mars Photography 2011 Highlights (Part 1)

My good friend Photographer Extraordinaire, Eli Reed was awarded the Lucie Award for Documentary Photography on 10/24/11. During his stay in NYC I saw his Artist Talk sponsored by the Lucie Foundation at Splashlight Studios in Soho.  His special friends came (from all over the world including, Alaska, California, Texas, Delaware & France to see him accept his award.  On 10/25/11 we went to see a great photo exhibit by Tequila Minsky at Soho Photo.

My Beginning Of The Year Photos, 2010

1. This year started with me celebrating the new year with my old friend of over 30 years, Magnum Photographer Extradordinaire & Olympus Visionary , Eli Reed. He is now in Nigeria working on a video.  In the image below Eli is in my living room with my dog pal Bob.

We will be collaborating on an interesting project. She will give women tips on dating and finding Mr. Right and I will be taking their portraits for online dating. 

4. Yesterday I went to Michael's Art Store on Columbus Avenue to have a restored photo (I hand-colored with pastels) framed.  The first frame my client picked up was perfect.  We really got lucky to have the very talented artist and framer Rachel Katzenellenbogen pick the perfect mattes to go along with the frame.
