#OnThisDate: Hello March!! Please be a better month for me than how last month went in my personal life… Last year (3/1/2022), I ate breakfast at Duncan’s Dairy Bar with a client for a potential writing opportunity and picked up, I think, a hot Matcha Latte, at the nearby Dunkin’. Today in the mail (3/1/2023) came my first ever FRONT PAGE feature in TheSpot518!! Since I began contributing in 2016 had I never had a story of mine featured as a top story until now. This was one good piece of news I heard on Monday about this feature landing front page. The Art Associates Gallery Inc will have their art opening for “The Art of Photography” this upcoming Friday, March 3, & it features the talents of 24 Capital Region photographers. Read more about this in TheSpot518 out now on newsstands!! Thank you again Mike Sacca & Mike Panzarino for taking the time to chat with me a few weeks ago about this special exhibit that you don’t want to miss. (Photos & Article by Amy Modesti.

“Summer Girl”

(The Art Of Me)

My Summer Hippie Style/Pics

With Love Sam

Manson and his fave reading material. I have been hard at work on my book, reliving the past. These images are from “The Long HArd Road Out of Hell” Sessions, shot in my old pigeon poop infested studio on 26th street. It was a real rock and roll night filled with hard drugs and nudity, a very long long night ending long after the sun came up. I don’t know why but I have gotten Handsome naked in so many of our sessions. Lucky ME. I loved my time with Mr Handsome, I look back and feel a twitch. These images seem to fit the times we live in. The world is filled with false prophets using their religion as a cudgel against the masses once again tring to steal democracy right out from under us. Thank You Angelika Sliwinski for staying up all night. #nothingrecords #interscope #drugs #falseprofets #marilynmanson #longhardroadoutofhell #theartofphotography #livingroom #model #supermodel #Adobe #phaseonephoto #MAC #popstar #survive #fuckcovid19 #quixote #quixotestudios #art #resist #portraits #photographer #lidocaine#morrisongallery https://www.instagram.com/p/CEr-KKhBLFn/?igshid=paqs2zct5brf

Here is my Pinterest Board on Distortion Techniques and Inspirations from two key photographers who uses these such techniques in their own work.

It’s already known tons of image are published day by day on Instagram. Many of practitioners believe this phenomenon turn photography concept really hard to be defined. Is it still considered as art or it has been flooded by an imense sea of image due to the easy access of social media platform?

We can see some downsides from new era of photography such as high volume of content, lowering quality of image and so on. Put aside all these aspects, we should take into consideration Instagram platform foster a new way to tell a story. New narratives have sprung up, users adopt another stance to contemplate or absorb the content through the channel. Some of them would say Instagram pave the way for new enthusiasts turn into professional practitioners. Undoubtedly, we could see a real democratization in photography.

More than ever, we able to interact in real time with photographers or track down on regular basis their projects. The gap between audience and photographers have narrowed down considerably. Part of photographers’ project rely on audience interactions which means visual language unleashed a new way of interaction and communication.
