The Feast of Ingathering

Posted in Photography with tags , on September 30, 2010 by davidgensler

I have always been fascinated with the temporary Sukkot Architecture that glows at night, once a year in the street of Williamsburg.

In the coming year, I will be documenting more Hasidic Culture in my home, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The Mustard Pant Scooter Jump

Posted in Photography with tags , on September 30, 2010 by davidgensler

The Streets of Brooklyn never age. One rainy Sunday afternoon, 5 boards were confirmed. Rumor has it, 7 boards were already conquered and 8 were possible.
Youth is always Legend.

Abstractions in Personal Space and Light

Posted in Photography with tags , , on September 29, 2010 by davidgensler

My new personal space is a classic pre-war walk up in Brooklyn NY. It is a large space, somewhat massive for one person.
It is slowly filling with new memories that have the job of replacing old ones. The light in the space is particularly noteworthy.
A warm north light, it changes drastically in terms of color, but subtly with intensity. There is a view of the city’s skyline, with a direct shot
at the Empire State Building. When I sit and rest, I always face eastward.

New Art / Studio Visit

Posted in Art, Photography with tags , on September 15, 2010 by davidgensler

Recently while working on a client project, I was able to spend time with esteemed artist Ali Dowlatshahi.
It was an honor to spend time with him and his family in his private home and studio. His work, career and life are a true inspiration.

Last year, in December I traveled to Hong Kong on an extended business trip. I had the opportunity to link with Brian from Knowledge, who was a great host. We also had a chance to meet up with Kevin Poon and Edison Chen from Clot. We also met with Chris from IDN magazine, Jimmy Au from the Red Agency – and randomly synced with Emil and Robert from Crooks and Castles. This set of pics is only a small taste of this trip – I will be posting more later this week.
