NYC Exhibition Opening, Save the Date 12th July - Foley Gallery
The Exhibition Lab Exhibition
Opening Reception - In Between Borders
Wednesday, July 12, 2017, from 6-8pm
Foley Gallery, 59 Orchard Street, New York City
Please join me on Wednesday evening, July 12, from 6-8pm, at Foley Gallery, when I will participate in "The Exhibition Lab Exhibition", a group show featuring my work along with the work of photographers Aleya Lehmann Bench, Miles Kerr, Alex Nelson, Eva Fazzari, Susan Evans Grove, Amy Montali and David Bernstein.
In Between Borders - "Every day we see things. That we pay no attention to. A curtain. A wall. A vase. They pass through our acknowledging eyes to our subconscious and are recorded as uneventful, and our attention moves on. But if you stop your eyes for a moment, adjust your focus, you may see the color, the light, the symmetry that makes the everyday beautiful."
The Exhibition Lab is a study of photography outside of a traditional academic setting. The initiative was co-founded by Michael Foley in 2010 as a study center for fine art photography dedicated to learning by critique. Students of the ExLab meet over the course of five months, holding critique sessions with one another and one-on-one sessions with Michael Foley.

Stepping Back and Looking Forward!
I love this photo, to me it is a quintessential image of India and a call back to days gone by, I think McCurry would give it the nod!

If Everybody had an Ocean...
"If everybody had an ocean, across the U-S-A" wrote Brian Wilson in 1963, I wonder if he had any idea of what was to come in the growth and global phenomenon that is now surfing?

Miniens Sextape
Thats right folks we had to do it, Numbers were flagging and we have not posted for a while so we had to resort to our sextape! When Times are hard do what the celebs do and get saucy!!
Read More26 Hours on a Train
This is going to be a photography blog, during our mammoth 26 hour train journey I tried to take a photograph every hour, except obviously for when I was sleeping but I have posted 26 photographs from the journey, its an interesting experiment to see what is produced when you are confined in a 10ft by 10ft cabin with 3 other people for 26hours……
Cheap Ass Photo's II
Now, last time we discussed how to get the pictures of yourself for cheap without paying the tourist prices! This time I have worked out a different solution.
Read MoreCheap A$$ Photo's
We have all been there, done that and got the t-shirt and paid for the photo to prove it! Now as a photographer I like to think I can adapt to most environments and take a camera with us on any adventure we do, but sometimes there are places that don’t allow camera’s or photography and then hit you at the end for a $25 photograph that looks crap but it’s the only photo you will have of the experience!

This blog is no more than shameless plug for my photography website!
I have realised that I have been a little behind on news and updates from Francis Minien Photography so while I have been preparing the last email update I thought I would give myself a little plug here!

So I have found a new toy, it’s called Instagram. This is a great iphone/itouch photo app. I have been snapping away at things that catch my eye as we travel.
Read MoreA New Gallery - A New Day, A New Photograph
So I have decided to create a gallery that has on display one photograph from each day of our travels together on this amazing journey. This gives me a project to work on and also keeps me quiet for a hour or so ;0)
The photographs vary in style, but they aim to show a fresh look at the world and the places we visit and the people we meet along the way.
I will not be uploading each day so don't get your hopes up too much, but more likely you will see batches uploaded as we travel! It is harder than you think to photograph everyday, but after 3 weeks on the road here is the first batch

I hope you enjoy them!
