- ELLEN FRIEDLANDER, Fine Art Photographer- “Hi Tony, I wanted to share some upcoming shows that I am part of:
January 4th - Project XV - New Perspectives on Photography opens at the new Los Angeles Center of Photography. Saturday night, LACP has their grand opening which big name galleries will be showing, but I have a couple of Street Photographs, that will be hanging in one of the classrooms, I believe :).
And January 25th I am part of Perceive Me by Kristine Schomaker which is at Cal State LA and it will tour! Kristine came up with a very vulnerable idea and acted upon it. She asked 60 plus artists to create art using her nude body, any way they wanted. I was thrilled to be asked to participate.
I look forward to seeing you after the New Year.
Happy Holidays,”
Ellen
P.S. My work was selected for The Hand magazine's #26 issue. It was thrilling.

- GARRISSON PENA, Photographer, Visual Artist- “Hi Tony…, I hope you are doing well and wanted to give you updates on everything that has happened recently.
As I mentioned on my last post, for Thanksgiving Week, I went on a photo trip (and vacation, of course!) from desert to ocean. Specifically, Lone Pine and Death Valley to the Monterey Peninsula… Honestly, Death Valley feels like another planet with the alien-like mountains that surround the landscape and how unbelievably quiet it is… On the other hand, Lone Pine is a hidden gem in California and is situated against one of the most beautiful backdrops: The Eastern Sierra Nevada. I woke-up at 4AM to drive to Alabama Hills as I did time lapse and flew the drone to capture the sunrise. It was stunning and unreal to watch the sun drape across the Sierra Nevada and the fiery alpenglow. This is a photo of that special moment when the alpenglow was at it’s best.
Garrisson Pena (c) 2019
After my time in the desert, I swung across the state to the Monterey Peninsula where I spent the rest of my time relaxing and doing seascapes. I spent afternoons on the 17 Mile Drive as I wanted to continue doing time lapse photography at numerous viewpoints and flew my drone at Asilomar State Beach to capture the crashing waves... Overall, one of my favorite trips and vacations in a while, and one much needed.
And with that, I have some great news that I want to share with you as it has been one of our talking points for a while. For the past few weeks I have been engaged in completing the admissions process of writing essays, requesting transcript, portfolio submissions, and letters of recommendation. And I want to thank you for taking the time to write me a letter as it has gone a long way and now it has paid off. On Thursday afternoon, I received a letter from the office of admissions and I am proud to announce that I have been accepted as a Spring 2020 admit to New York Film Academy in pursuing a Master’s of Fine Arts in Cinematography. And just like that, life feels so surreal and is now a dream come true I begin this next chapter.
This has been my goal in life. I want to have a career in the film and I have checked-off one part of the journey which was completing my Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Photography. And of course, you are a part of it and have been an integral part in all of this. I am proud to call you one of my close mentors. Spring Semester for New York Film Academy starts in February and with it being only a month away, I am ready to get back to work and back in flow. The time between graduating Art Center and receiving my acceptance letter has allowed me to rejuvenate and refocus. Now I am chasing my longtime life goal, ever since I was first introduced to movies: The Academy Award for Cinematography.
…I hope you are doing well and that your family is doing great. From me to you, thank you for everything. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here’s to 2020!!!
Warmly,”
Garrisson

- BRIAN BIERY, Landscape Photography- “Dear Family and Friends, My sincerest ‘thanks’ to everyone who attended the Holiday Open House at Kolhatkar Studios earlier this month!

Thank you all for your support of my art this year! May you and yours experience a holiday season filled with joy and wonder!

- MAUREN BRODBECK, Swiss multi-sensory artist- “Dear friends, dear art lovers, dear collectors, Today, I am launching "Studio Exclusives", an online space which I have been thinking about and working on for over a year. In this space, I’m offering limited edition prints, photographs, and collectibles. New collections will be released quarterly and will be available exclusively through this platform.
Many artists struggle with whether offer their work only through art galleries or to also make their work available online. I believe that societal and technological advances have given us a fantastic opportunity to connect and share, unlike ever before in history. And I also believe that art brings beauty, happiness, and a new perspective to society—it is there to be unconventional and thought-provoking—and it should be accessed by as many people as possible. For these reasons, I have decided to offer limited edition runs of select collections and pieces exclusively through my online studio.
I hope you will take a moment to explore the collections that are currently available on Studio Exclusives.
Again, thank you all for your support!
Warm wishes,”
