EXHIBIT STATEMENT
ACCESS curated by Kareem Black. The lens often gives access to an
individual in a mode that no other medium can. The photography
works to be included in the ACCESS exhibition will have a peculiar
composition that incites a feeling of exclusivity and causes the
viewer feel privy to the photographed subject matter. This exhibit
will examine how we receive and perceive intimate moments and
public occurrences.

Seconds of my Life by Jamel Shabazz

If you didn't goto the book release and exhibition of Jamel Shabazz's Seconds of my Life. You really missed out. It was a great event and the images on display were incredible. I have never been so inspired. I had been wanting to meet Jamel since I saw his book A time Before Crack. He has been shooting African American communities and life for over 25 years. The reason I relate to his images so much is because what he is doing is similar to what I am trying to do with the South Asian community. The passion he has for his lifelong project and dedication just shows me that I am on the right track and hopefully the images I take will be an important document years down the line.
