Dark Sharks/Light Rays opened in the Main Gallery of the Griffin Museum of Photography on Jan 21st — March 28th, 2010
Curator, Paula Tognarelli did a marvelous job choosing related shows for the three separate galleries. In the Atelier Gallery Laszlo Layton’s Cabinet of Curiosities & Pictorial Zoology is up and in the Griffin Gallery you will see Animals by Elliot Ross. Thanks to all at the Griffin, the exhibits look beautiful.

Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art — 125th Anniversary of The Kansas City Art Institute.
The Nelson-Atkins is purchasing a print for their collection as well as including it in the exhibit, Thinking Photography: Five Decades at the Kansas City Art Institute. This group exhibition is in conjunction with the KCAI’s Anniversary. Which picture did they acquire? You have to wait for the show to find out!
Awarded a commission as the City of Tampa Photographer Laureate 2010.
Each year Tampa’s Big Picture Photographer Laureate Program, modeled after those such as the FSA, selects a photographer via a juried process to do a distinct project of the artist’s choosing and an archive is being built through these images about the life and times of Tampa. My project is to follow the Hillsborough River from the Green Swamp where the river begins, into Tampa Bay. I will photograph, the paradoxical scenery—as I travel through time both culturally and naturally from the swamp to the city.
350 Hungarians alone visited my website between the evening of Friday Oct 16th – Monday Oct 19th, 2009.
I can hardly believe it! I was thrilled to be invited by the most read Hungarian online newspaper, Origo to participate in their online photo exhibition series with a feature article that weekend. My grandmother Rose Klein Glaser was Hungarian. It was pointed out to me by one sharp friend that Kertesz’s first wife, Rogie Andre, was originally named Roza Klein…. Grandma did you have a secret life?
