News from Studio MBK!
This is a once a month (with rare exceptions) newsletter containing news about the art of photography, mine and others.
Monthly Photography Salon
I co-moderate two monthly photography Salons through the Center for Photography at Woodstock, which is now actually in Kingston, NY.
In Person Salon
Co Moderator, Steven Parisi-Gentile
Please note the new address for the in person Salon! The new address is a block away from the old one, so it should be easy to find. There is lots of parking.
Every second Tuesday of the month there is an in person salon at 7 PM at CPW 25 Dederick Street, Kingston, NY. Photographers are encouraged to bring up to 15 prints of their work. We are especially interested in providing feedback to photographers working on a project or submission. The atmosphere is informal and supportive, with work being reacted to and discussed by the photographers present.
Virtual Salon
Co-moderator, Deena Feinberg
Every fourth Tuesday of the month there is a virtual salon. Photographers are encouraged to upload files of their work. We recommend a jpeg format of 2000 pixels on the longest side, and maximum of 144 pixels per inch. Use highest quality jpeg setting. Files should be named with the first and last name of the photographer and should be numbered in the order in which the photographer would like them to appear. So, First Name_Last Name_01, would be the preferred format. We are especially interested in providing feedback to photographers working on a project or submission. The atmosphere is informal and supportive, with work being reacted to and discussed by the photographers present.
Files can be uploaded here.

Of Interest
If you are an artist and receiving this email, I am happy to share announcements of shows you are participating in. All you have to do is email me at mkriegh@gmail.com with the details before the end of the month prior to your happening.
This month it is my turn to announce an event:)
I will be the featured visual artist in Twice Told. Six of my photographs will become the inspiration for +-5 minute stories by 12 writers. I have done this show twice before as a writer. My turn to be on the other end of things!
This book looks really interesting to me:
[Tim Carpenter: Little : The Ice Plant - LENSCRATCH](http://lenscratch.com/2024/07/tim-carpenter-little-the-ice-plant/)
“Tim Carpenter’s newest photobook, Little, completes a trilogy of books published by The Ice Plant that are composed of photographs made in and around his hometown in Central Illinois. In Little, Carpenter channels the perspective of a child, meandering and open to meaning and possibility within each encounter. Carpenter’s photographs transcend conventional narrative, urging us to see the world unburdened by preconceived notions—a journey back to the pure, unfiltered curiosity of youth. Coming off the heels of his popular essay To Photograph is to Learn How to Die, also published by The Ice Plant, I was curious to see how Carpenter’s theory would connect to his practice, the pictures being where the rubber meets the road.”
