Well we treated ourselves Thursday to a little photo frenzy. First up was a late afternoon trip uptown to AIPAD. James Danziger has a post on his blog from yesterday here thats a nice summation of what you can expect this year. Theres a lot of vintage black and white on display, maybe a sign of the times but don't worry there were still plenty of color behemoths taking over some of the booths. Was nice to be able to wander unopposed, do yourself a favor if you are thinking about a visit and try and get up today before the weekend hoards descend.
Then it was back down to Chelsea for the Blind Spot benefit auction. This was certainly the place to be with a packed crowd on hand making the most of the cocktails and the odd bargain or two as some of the pieces sold for below the initial asking. Spotted in the crowd were photographers: Jeremy Liebman, Victoria Hely-Hutchinson, Eric Ogden, Eric McNatt, Rafael Fuchs, Nick Haymes, Katherine Wolkoff, Mark Tucker (who has decamped to NYC from Nashville for the month), Ber Murphy, Cara Phillips, David Rinella, Ethan Hill, Dietmar Busse, Bill Hamilton, Chris Bartlett, Robert Wright, David Walsh supremo: Primary Photographic Imaging, Lesley Martin & Kellie McLaughlin: Aperture, Nancy Jo Iacoi & Christina Cahill: Orchard Represents, Megan Ziegler-Haynes director of photography: Photoshelter, Jennifer Miller photo editor, Judith Puckett-Rinella photo editor: The New York Times T magazine, Brenda Millis photo editor: Mens Health, Michelle Egiziano photo director: Spin, Eric Miles director rare books and auctions: Photo-Eye and gallerist Jen Bekman.
For a night cap we wandered up to super club Mansion for the Brian Finke bash at the newly installed powerHouse books library. Not really what I was expecting to be honest but think Las Vegas casino hotel and waitresses in French maids costumes and you might begin to get the picture. Brian was on hand and we managed to spot a few friendly faces amongst the throbbing crowd: photographer Darin Mickey, Caroll Taveras photo editors Maisie Todd & Nancy Weisman: ESPN The Magazine & Rory Walsh: Blender.
Unfortunately you will have to use your imagination this week as we are self-portrait free. Pheeeew.

School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents 'Mentors'
6.00 - 8.00pm
Visual Arts Gallery
601 West 26th Street
15th Floor
bet 11th and 12th ave
An exhibition of works by nearly 80 photography students inspired by their year-long mentorship with key figures in the arts community. Drawn from the ranks of New York City’s best-known photographers, curators, art directors, publishers, art dealers, critics and writers, SVA’s mentors are paired with students based upon their field of expertise and the student’s area of concentration. The 2007 – 2008 program mentors include Rolling Stone director of photography Jodi Peckman, photography critic Vince Aletti, illustrator Maira Kalman, gallerist Edwynn Houk, fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, and photographers Lorna Simpson, Tina Barney, and Gregory Crewdson, among others.
The Mentors program at SVA was established in 1992 to introduce new talent to the New York City arts community and to cultivate relationships between established and emerging artists. Stephen Frailey, chair of the BFA Photography Department and curator of the exhibition, explains, “Our mentors come from the forefront of their fields and the advice they can offer our students is invaluable. It inspires them to take their work to a new level and to grow as professional artists.”
At the School of Visual Arts, undergraduate students are offered a full range of options in the study of photography: commercial, fine art, fashion and documentary. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art technical facilities; a faculty of nearly 100 members, including not only working photographers but photo editors, critics, publishers and photography dealers; and a curriculum that integrates photographic genres, identities and ambitions, removing the traditional barriers between “art photography” and “commercial photography.” SVA’s diversity in curriculum and the faculty’s wealth of professional experience offer students the freedom and support to explore different directions in photography.
School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City is an established leader and innovator in the education of artists. >From its inception in 1947, the faculty has been comprised of professionals working in the arts and art-related fields. SVA provides an environment that nurtures creativity, inventiveness and experimentation, enabling students to develop a strong sense of identity and a clear direction of purpose.

Levitt will discuss her latest work on youth experience as she explores the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Her indefatigable energy and bold personality allow her to capture the unexpected instant between the posed and the natural. Levitt has not limited herself to one demographic; she seeks out a new generation of American adolescents that exists in a suspended state that is neither rural, suburban nor entirely urban. The portraits reflect universal teen traits. When shooting, Levitt recognizes the cultural personae formed through her subjects' assumed identities and prefers to show them in their everyday scenarios, allowing small details to add subtlety to the portraits.
