SYMPHONY SPACE, the revered cultural institution on Manhattan's Upper West Side, has just updated their website and it incorporates an entire photo gallery of my images that I'd like you to see.
Last September I was asked by Liz Samurovich, Marketing Director for Symphony Space, to photograph backstage, the performance & post-performance events surrounding a very special presentation of the celebrated "SELECTED SHORTS" series called "OPERATION HOMECOMING: WRITING THE WARTIME EXPERIENCE".
This was an evening of excerpts from a National Endowment For the Arts project that had proven so populat that it had been adapted into a best selling bookturned. It is based entirely on the very moving and engaging correspondence of soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Sprinkled with humor but more often flavored with candid and startling emotion the letters and essays were interpreted for a packed house by Academy Award nominee JOAN ALLEN, MATTHEW MODINE and others. It was a very moving example of the power of words and live theatre.
