Rather Random Moments

My life in NYC from 1983 - 1989. During this time period I moved from Rockland County to NYC to attend Parsons School of Design to study photography. I never left the city. My life would be forever changed by the people I met and the crazy things we did. I had found my peeps, and knew this was where I belonged. I was not one who enjoyed High School, or college for that matter, but I loved the bizarro people I was meeting, and the places we would go. Danceteria, Area, Limelight, the Palladium, Private Eyes, and the Peppermint Lounge. These clubs were buzzing with excitment, a thrilling feeling that fed my soul. So much to discover and embrace, opening my eyes to another way of being. The following photos are from this period of time. The photos were created in a process that I created titled, "The Drop Negative" techique. My senior thesis at Parsons School of Design featured this technique.

Winter Beach Days, 2022

My first love was photography. Their is nothing as thrilling as a new camera right out of the box. The smell, it's sleekness, combined wonderfully to make the first foray out on a shoot extra special. I loved learning the camera's capabilities, figuring out the options it avails you, all to create a vision unseen by others. I am constantly encouraged by the possibilites enticing you. Making the unseen visable is magical to me.

Brutalist Society: The Promise of Glass, 2018 For decades, writers photographers and artists have focused on the modern urban landscape, hoping to access its towering language of dehumanizing jutting angles.

Inspired by the glass architecture that has been invading big cities around the world, Callie has created a series of paintings of abstract glass buildings that flirt with illusions of transparency and reflection. The Brutalist architecture deflects light, maintaining the mystery of what lies behind them. Geometric shapes and muted colors imitate the soulless feelings provoked by the facades of structures that appear empty and devoid of life. As this series evolves, vibrant colors begin to crack open the façade and morph into new reflections on hope and transcendence.

Glass buildings convey implicit and explicit meanings to passers-by and facilitate ways of seeing and being seen. They are simultaneously reflective, illusory and amorphous leaving it up to the viewer to interpret what’s transpiring. Callie’s interpretation of these window views, more reflective then transparent, serving as her own reflective feelings of the present reality that envelops us.
