Photos and Beer in DUMBO

Went to the opening last night for the Art + Commerce 2005 Festival of Emerging Photographers, which included my friend Jeffrey Ladd's beautiful photos of Serbia. Aside from his, I was only really moved by a few other photographers, namely Anna Bauer's photos of her family, Michele Abeles' strange portraits, and Sung Jin Park Kid Nostalgia snapshots.

The rain had just stopped and the umbrellas stashed to free our hands for the excellent (and free) Sixpoint Brewery's generous pints. Apparently over 1,100 photographers submitted work but only 24 made the cut. Good on ya, Ladd.
