Incense burning, reggae music, doors and windows wide open, fire going, wet head and house to myself for 5 minutes.
Beauty.
The rest of my day is FULL. My sister will be here with my two little nieces in an hour. We are taking the girls to Finding Nemo on Ice at 11:30 and then back to my house to hang out some. My sister is rad. My brothers are too. Yep.
The rest of the day I need to do laundry, pack and then I get to pick up my new fur coat that I had made for me! Furrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I love.
MeOW.
If you are in New York in the next month, come by andnowmiguel's art show in Manhattan. The name of the show is Integrations and it is the body of work that Miguel and I shot for the show in Germany. This show exhibits some recently discovered gems from those archives. Starting in December we will begin shooting the next evolution of this vision.

Zito Studio Gallery presents the photography of Miguel Edwards
The opening reception for Seattle photographer Miguel Edwardss exhibition Integrations will be held on Thursday, November 17th, 2005 from 7-10pm at Zito Studio Gallery, 122 Ludlow Street in Manhattan. Refreshments will be served.
As a photographer, Edwards takes the position of an analog purest and is fiercely proud of the fact that he does not in any way manipulate his images digitally. This might not seem such a big point until one sees the photographs: the colors are deeply saturated, forms swirl and crisp lines can dissolve into painterly mist, and Edwardss atmospheres just seem unreal.
Even though my technique is purely photographic, Edwards explains, I tend to think of the pictures as painterly: my sensibilities are more concerned with issues of painting. I judge the success of my own works as though I am looking at paintings. In many ways, the technique is more than photographic: the artist builds elaborate sets that often take weeks or longer. He paints the sets by hand and as well does body-painting on his model (wife, Blyss). The result is a sensuality that somehow manages to be both physical and painterly. It is the constant shifting between these two realms where Edwards lifts his work above and away from other photographers.
Curator Daniel Kany featured Edwardss work in Indexterity at CoCA Seattle. About the photographers work he recently wrote: In a single work, Miguel Edwards shows he is a great painter and a masterful photographer. It is easy to get caught up in the intense abandon of his works: they seem like what you might get if you could take crystal clear photographs of your most intensely pleasurable dreams. Their sexuality, however, is an aesthetic intensitynot a direct encounter with an individual. Somehow Edwards manages to find the right distance where he can maximize both intimacy and image.
Edwards has been a college photography instructor and a Creative Uses Consultant for the Polaroid Corporation. He has exhibited his work in galleries in Washington State, New York City, Santa Fe, San Francisco, and Germany.
This work will be on view through December 13, 2005
and the gallery is open from 1-7pm Wednesday
through Sunday or by appointment.
