Opening in Western Australia
Opening this week in Freemantle, Western Australia as part of the biennial festival of photography, FOTO FREO/FRINGE is the exhibition DIVERGENCE, a group show of work from photographers from all over the world and one in which I, together with photographer Martin Cox, have created a complementary set of photographs - WEST COAST.WEST COAST - relating our own West Coast work and interests to that of Fremantle, the port town of Perth where FOTO FREO is held.
We would have very much liked to attend but our photographs will have to do and we are looking forward to installation shots of this exhibition, located in the terrific Midland Atelier, one of Western Australia's signature warehouse/creative spaces, and put together with FORM a major non-profit for developing creativity in WA.
From DIVERGENCE: "In partnership with FotoFreo, FORM presents Divergence: Photographs from Elsewhere, a monumental showcase of contemporary photography by over sixty artists based in fifteen countries, as part of the FotoFreo Open Exhibition Program. The project will transform the Midland Railway Workshops into a panorama of images that demonstrate photography’s unique ability to communicate across cultures, connect diverse people, create debate and stir emotion. A dynamic multimedia event will launch this month long photographic showcase on Wednesday 14 March."
FOTOFREO is part of the Asia Pacific PhotoForum, "a collaborative group of photography festivals in the Asia-Pacific region that aims to promote photography and photographic art...."

Catching Up
Nothing posted on "Aloud" since the New Year but busy on my other blogs and in real life.
In January, I was honored to create a "flip book" and documentary photograph of the incredible centenarian, Tyrus Wong, to exhibit at the Getty sponsored Pacific Standard Time (PST) exhibition at the Vincent Price ArtMuseum in Los Angeles, 'ROUND THE CLOCK: CHINESE AMERICAN ARTISTS WORKING IN LA. This is a beautiful exhibition curated by my friend and incredible independent curator, Sonia Mak. A photograph of mine is also in the exhibition catalogue.
Late January: gathering experiences and imagery for my annual Chinese Lunar New Year Greeting, The Year of the Water Dragon
And to make January (my birthday month) even more exciting: news on that day - while wandering yet another of the incredible ArtFairs in LA in January - that the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has proposed acquiring one of my photographs, Ming's Cafe, from the FINDING CHINATOWN long-term project! More on this at my FINDING CHINATOWN blog.
February: In Group Exhibition at Morono Kiang Gallery, downtown Los Angeles. Images of the '80s, a fun re-exploration for me at a time of my life when I was switching careers and starting a family which resulted in closing my wet darkroom and my life in B&W. From the show: FARAWAY, SO CLOSE
Soon to open in mid-March in Fremantle, Western Australia, a group exhibition showcasing some work of mine on the LA Harbor in the FOTOFREO Biennial, one of the noted photography festivals of the AsianPacific rim. The show,
On to more news as several projects are taking shape for the Spring!

Christmas Day 2011
The beach is beautiful. The weather magnificent with views throughout the basin. Friends abound. It is good to be home today with the way - and weather - in which we Southern Californians understand the holiday.
