collect.give
I’m exceptionally happy to be a part of the inaugural edition of collect.give, a a new place to purchase great photographs online – for the benefit of great causes.
The launch of collect.give features work by photographers Allison V. Smith, Dalton Rooney (that’s me), Emily Shur, John Loomis, Kevin J. Miyazaki, and Susana Raab. What great company to be in! 100% of the profits from prints sales on collect.give will be donated to organizations specifically chosen by the individual photographers. I chose to donate to MillionTreesNYC, a citywide effort to plant one million trees in New York City over the next decade. If my edition sells out, we’ll be able to plant a large tree on the lawn of a New York City public school, and a few smaller trees in a community park or garden as well!

Joel Meyerowitz: Legacy
I just came across a new body of work from Joel Meyerowitz that will be published by Aperture this fall. Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks contains 250 images from New York City’s parks and wild spaces, and from what little I’ve seen, it looks pretty spectacular. The subject of wilderness contained within urban areas is something I have been fascinated by for a long time, and I’m sure I’ll see a lot of familiar places. The book also contains information about the parks such as maps and historical information.

I loved Chris McCaw’s work at this summer’s Transfiguration show at Michael Mazzeo.
Speaking of Michael Mazzeo, be sure to catch the online-only show Arbor, currently on view on the gallery website. I recommend watching it in fullscreen mode, and just let it play. Between this and the last few shows I’ve seen at the gallery, Michael Mazzeo is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
