If you find yourself in NYC this holiday weekend, why not enjoy a leisurely day (or two) of gallery hopping. As is often the case on these long weekend holidays, many New Yorkers head out of town so you might be able to enjoy a less crowded viewing experience. Let us know what you think of the shows you attend and if we missed something great, fill us in.

Happy July 4th Weekend!

We would like to congratulate New York based photographer John Kesl, winner of the Apple iPad drawing we had at last week’s LeBook Productions event.  Fred Blake and Richard Andres presented John with his prize this week in our rental department.

It was great to meet John and everyone at the event last week.  We hope John enjoys his iPad and make sure to keep in touch with us for future events (and drawings).

Make sure to take a look at John’s work at www.johnkesl.com.
