Help to celebrate the children of Kathmandu by spending the evening surrounded by photographs, custom designed desks auction, live music, food and drinks.

Kids of Kathmandu is a non-profit organization that utilizes photography and the arts to raise awareness about the needs of orphans in Kathmandu, Nepal.  Their goal is to raise funds in order to provide a stable financial foundation for the children from which they can grow through funding for education, food, shelter, and immunizations.  With these very basic needs covered, their aim is to provide a sense of safety and encouragement for the children so that they can fully realize their potential in the rapidly changing environment of Nepal.

The organization began with a couple, Jami Saunders and Andrew Raible,  wanting to help change the lives of children for the better.  After being married in 2010 they volunteered with IVHQ (International Volunteer Headquarters) who organized their trip to Nepal.  Once they were on their way to Kathmandu they knew it was a change for the better and the rest is history.  They have since established this wonderful organization to help the children.

The fundraiser is a way for you to help the children in need.  If you can not attend the gala then please considering donating.  See all details and ticket information below.

The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is hosting a lecture with one of our West Coast photographers, Richard Gordon. Gordon currently lives in San Francisco and teaches part time at City College of San Francisco and Stanford University.  A street photographer of many years, published author of several artist handmade books, artist essays and photography publications Gordon has a knowledge you can only gain from experience.

During the 1970s, artist Richard Gordon created Meta Photographs, a book and portfolio that explores the self-referential nature of photography in a series of ironic, humorous scenes. Comprised of 47 photographs that refer to other images, to the camera, or to the act of looking, Meta Photographs confirms the significance of photography in American culture. Join Richard Gordon as he reflects on these photographs on view in the gallery.

Whether you went or  you missed this event last year then here’s your chance for an exciting time. This 2 day event explores the world of video but from a different direction, the still photographers’ transition.

FPS Fest is a film screening event that explores the transition from still photography to motion. The once separate industries of still photography and motion film making are intersecting across a number of realms; from new technology to new demands from clients, today’s image makers are finding a new world in motion. FPS Fest provides information and stimulation about technology, techniques, and the latest in motion.

FPS Fest is presented by Vimeo, Resource Magazine, and ROOT Capture.

Aperture Foundation, in collaboration with the 
Musée de l’Elysée, Presents:
reGeneration2: Tomorrow’s Photographers Today

Curated by William A. Ewing and Nathalie Herschdorefer

Opening Reception: Thursday, January 20, 2011, 6-9pm
On View: January 21–March 17, 2011
Aperture Gallery and Bookstore
547 West 27th Street, 4th Floor
Between 10th and 11th Avenues

To best explain this upcoming exhibit we took this from the Aperture WebSite:

Aperture Foundation, in collaboration with the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland, and with the support of Pro Helvetia and the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York, is pleased to announce reGeneration2: Tomorrow’s Photographers Today.

As the digital revolution continues its relentless advance, it demolishes longstanding practices in every domain of the photographic field. This group exhibition and its accompanying catalog examine how the new generation of photographers operates, showcasing their inspiring creativity and ingenuity, and revealing the diversity of emerging photography. reGeneration2 follows the success of 2005’s groundbreaking book and exhibition, reGeneration: 50 Photographers of Tomorrow 2005-2025, which was shown in ten different cities across North America, Europe, and Asia, and made its North American debut at Aperture Gallery in January 2006.

reGeneration2—the broadest and most enterprising survey of its kind—explores how today’s young photographers view the world, how they respect, build on, or reject tradition, and whether they choose the darkroom, the computer lab, or both, to make their art. Curators at the Musée de l’Elysée selected eighty of the most promising candidates from some seven hundred entries submitted by 120 of the world’s top photography schools. The themes presented range from the urban environment and globalization, to issues of identity and memory, and the photographers’ hybrid techniques allow them to obscure as never before the distinction between reality and fiction. The resulting exhibition, and accompanying publication of the same title, exposes the flexibility of young photographers as they pass fluidly from one genre or technique to another.
