In keeping with the simplicity of the term, the artists in this exhibition are dealing with the concept of adaptation, whether on a global, local or personal level. Changes in spaces, both public and private are a common link to the works. Documentation of this process of change is shown in unique and thought-provoking ways through photography, digital art and video.

I am happy to announce that I was awarded a Fellowship in the Arts from the Independence Foundation in Philadelphia. My recent trips to Mumbai and Mexico City were made possible by the fellowship, and one more trip is forthcoming.
I want to thank the Foundation for believing in my work and for the generous help with my project. Also, I would like to thank the Center for Emerging Visual Artists, which nominated me for the fellowship.

I’m very honored to be working with photographers Nina Berman, Brian Cohen, Scott Goldsmith, Lynn Johnson, and Martha Rial and organizer Laura Domencic on the Marcellus Shale Documentary Project.
The Marcellus Shale Documentary Project tells stories, through photographic images, of how the lives of Pennsylvanians have been and may continue to be affected by the Marcellus Shale Gas Industry. By creating a visual document of the environmental, social and economic impact of drilling, the work will engage communities in the current Marcellus debate while providing important historical images for the future.
In capturing images of the people and places most affected by gas drilling, photographers Brian Cohen, Lynn Johnson, Martha Rial, and Noah Addis examine both the positive and negative results of drilling and how the environment and the communities that live with the resources are being shaped. The work will be compiled into a travelling exhibition opening at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts (PCA), with accompanying lectures, book and online archive.
The Documenting Marcellus Shale Drilling Project is funded in part by a Seed Award from The Sprout Fund, and by the Robert C. Smith Fund and the Betsy R. Clark Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation.
Organized by Brian Cohen and Laura Domencic, Director of Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, the project will compile the work into a traveling exhibition opening October 2012 at Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Pittsburgh Center for the Arts (PF/PCA), with accompanying lectures, book and online archive.

I should have real film back by early next week but in the meantime here are a few more polaroids.
I’d like to extend a special thanks to Shrish Kothari, who was a great assistant during these first two shoots.
Like many photographers I have been thinking about how to document the occupations that started on Wall Street in New York and have spread across the United States. After visiting the occupation here in Philadelphia, I was amazed by the diversity of the participants. Instead of focusing on the signs, tents and marches, I wanted to focus on the people involved in the movement. I decided the best way to do this would be to set up a portable studio at the occupation site in order to make very simple collaborative portraits.
I’ll be shooting more portraits in Philly, New York and hopefully other cities over the coming days and weeks.
These are scanned polaroids, the final images were shot on 4×5 film. Stay tuned.

The Kensington section of Philadelphia was a working-class neighborhood until the 50′s when the textile mills and other factories shut down and the neighborhood went into a steady decline. Kensington Avenue, which runs under an elevated subway train, is the epicenter of the heroin and cocaine trade in the city. It’s on the Eastern edge of what has come to be known as the ‘badlands’, a high-crime area where gangs control the flourishing drug trade.
Kensington Avenue, known as ‘the stroll’, is also inhabited by many of the city’s prostitutes and their johns. Recently several murders attributed to the ‘Kensington Strangler’ have brought media attention to the area, but even before the current string of murders, crime and violence against prostitutes was commonplace, underreported and rarely pursued by police.
The weed-filled land that dots the area is used by drug addicts looking for a place to get high and by prostitutes looking for a place to do business.
