iPhoneography - On Purpose and by Accident!

Hi everyone:

Hope everyone's weekend is going swimmingly! I'm settling in with a Pumpkin Chai Latte (made with real pumpkin BTW), and some live U2 from the latest tour. I'm a particular fan of the re-worked "Even Better Than The Real Thing" - could listen to that over and over again.

So, the big news today is iPhoneography. Firstly, I'm in a show right now at The Lunch Box Gallery in Miami where all of the images were shot with an iPhone. Pretty cool group of work - all laid out in a grid pattern in the gallery:


Mine is bottom row, 4th from the left. I shot this image a while ago - before I had Instagram and new how to add effects to the images I shoot with my iPhone. Still a good image - but most of the others had some serious effects on them. I dunno - maybe it's a little refreshing to do create images with this device that aren't all "hopped-up."

The other piece of iPhone news is that the other day, as I was going through my "camera roll" on my iPhone, I came across a really cool "happy accident." I have no idea how I did this, or even when I did it. But, I kinda like it:


I have no idea if I'm going to do anything with this, but definitely the best mistake I've made in quite some time.

Other than that, I've got a new print I'm going to be working on in the next couple of days, and have been doing some shooting as well. I'll keep y'all posted...but in the meantime, drop me a comment, say hello and let me know you're all still out there!

Latest Endeavor

Hi everyone:

Well, I'm guessing that if you're reading this, you already know about my latest art news. But, for the sake of consistency, I wanted to announce it here as well.

So, some of my work is now being represented by a great online gallery called UGALLERY. I'm really excited about it and think this will be a good home for me. Check out my work up there at:

www.ugallery.com/marc-sirinsky

The work is priced well and as always, everything is offered in an edition of 10 prints or less.

There is also a blogging space up on the site, so for now, I'll be updating my blogspot account, as well as the blog up on UGALLERY. However, I eventually plan to just update one and have it flow through. I'll keep you posted for my plans on that. In the meantime, here's my latest piece for those who haven't seen it on Facebook (it's hot off the presses):


Beyond that, I've submitted some "iPhoneography" to a show at The Lunchbox Gallery in Miami, FL. Many of you undoubtedly remember that I showed in this space last summer. Great gallery with an awesome staff - and I hope to continue working with them well into the future.

Otherwise, I hope everyone is doing well. The weather in D.C. has been awesome, so I'm gonna get out and enjoy it!

Until next time!
