thanks to everyone who attended and showed their support at my photography show for the past 3 weeks. The closing party was a big success and I sold MOST of my prints!! pretty amazing. I will be updating my website with the new work, but in the meantime, you can visit Mighty Tanaka’s online store and order prints from there.
Thank you again. The support is what keeps us artists going.

CAPTURE THE FADE
Photography Competition
GUEST JUDGE
Bill Henson
SUBMISSIONS OPEN: Monday July 26 – Monday August 30 2010
Ampersand is very pleased to invite you to submit to its first annual open photography competition. Whether you are a professional photographer or a dentist who happens to own a camera, we are looking for creative, evocative, humorous and thoughtful photographic responses to the theme, The Fade.
Adia Millett’s current body of work, deeply embedded in metaphor, suggests a story of transition from loss to potential love. Her work examines the beauty of impermanence, the power of the unknown, and the illusion of innocence. She uses gestures, objects and sound to convey an abstracted reality where the viewer is asked to put together pieces of a mysterious puzzle. – Artist’s Statement

I fell in love with this city…. I got to snap some shots of things I stumbled into. Also went to London and visited the TATE Modern. All fotos on my flickr.

I have a show this coming July at Mighty Tanaka Studio with 2 talented Photographers (stay tuned for more details!!). I will be showing my latest collection of in-camera multiple exposures shot with 35mm film. I used both my grandfather’s olympus OM-1 and re-shot most of it with my trusty Lomo LC-A. I never use photoshop, what you see is how they look straight from the negative scans. I’m not hating on photoshop, in fact, I use it everyday for work, but with my photography I much rather go as traditional as I can. Its a lot more fun this way.
Below is one of the latest multiple exposures. This particular photo was shot at downtown Barcelona late one night. On this trip I experimented with the Olympus, the Lomo and my ‘78 Hasselblad. I’m very much looking forward showing everyone my latest work.

Dance parties, art openings, couches, babes.. what else do you want. Check out the site and surf around… you just might find an artist or two you’d recognize. 
Venue officially opens THIS WEDNESDAY. Come by, have some beer, sake, swedish meatballs, whatever you need to unwind. See you there. http://thepandanyc.com/
a crisp flight from coast to coast…. I’m not sure if we were flying extremely high or what… but I felt I was on the edge of the earth… This is the closest I’ve come to my life long dream of one day going into space…

I attended the Tim Burton exhibit on its opening day on November 22nd. I came home afterward, rented all his movies, and found myself obsessed with his creative world for a few days…. then I slowly was consumed by work and…well, life. Time passed, and the exhibit slipped to the back of my mind….
…until tonight. During a conversation at a friends party, I was reminded about the sheer size of the collection and how incredible it was to see so much of a persons life’s work in front of you. I also remembered reading how the curators had the freedom to pick and choose Tim Burton’s work while going through mounds of drawings, paintings and everything you can imagine. I mean, can you imagine going through all of his (some never-seen) art work??… And, seeing this man’s wild and creative mind unfold before my eyes at the museum was incredibly inspiring.
The exhibit runs from November 22, 2009 – April 26, 2010.
Vivienne Westwood Portrait of Tim Burton and Helena Bonham-Carter.
Got to meet 2 of my favorites last night. Sonic youth has been part of my life for a loooong time and Michael Lavine’s photos have inspired many daydreams… Both have come together and published a book portraying the birth and death of Grunge. The photos are kick ass. Pick one up and take a ride back to your (for me) high school years…

I love how even simple, organic elements can be intricate works of art…
