- Ethan Hill, Director- Ethan writes us an update on the movie he has directed.

TATTOO MIKE: The Story of the Illustrated Man,

the documentary film about the visual artist, and iconic Coney Island Sideshow performer, Michael Wilson, is running a new KICKSTARTER!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1124828703/tattoo-mike-the-story-of-the-illustrated-man?ref=project_build

“It’s going by so quickly!  We’re already into the 2nd half of the calendar for the KICKSTARTER campaign for TATTOO MIKE.  I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has made a financial contribution, reached out online to say hello, or simply had a curiosity in Michael Wilson’s story and are taking the time to follow this project on social media. I also wanted to specifically say thank you to all of you who helped plug the campaign to your friends and your social network. Your efforts are tangible and a growth in interest is noticeable. We have just over 10 days to go and we’re already dangerously close to hitting the planned target, and may even be in a position to stretch before this ends. This is a direct result of of your efforts to spread the word.  Please keep taking the @tattoomikefilm Instagram posts and sharing them to your Stories, and @tattoomikefilm Tweets and reTweeting.  You know who you are. I know who you are. And this will finish because of you! Thanks a ton.”

Ethan Hill, Director, second from left.

If you can make a contribution that would be amazing, but what is critical is sharing this project with friends and colleagues so this film has a chance to move forward. The KICKSTARTER button below will take you straight to the campaign page. Interesting content is planned over the next few weeks coming straight to your mail box and the REWARD offerings are quite good! 

THANK YOU for checking this out!”

Ellen Friedlander, Fine Art Photographer- Ellen has three (count them) announcements in our blog.

Please join me for LA PHOTOSCAPE

at CMay Gallery

Exhibition Dates, February 25 - April 1

Address: 5928 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036

***************************************************************************

Further, Ellen informs us about her work being featured by Amanda Smith Gallery:

“I started playing with my pinhole lens back in November. I had no idea that I would fall in love with the dreamy quality and the unique collaboration that the long exposures create with the subject and myself. While I was in Hong Kong, I noticed the Amanda Smith Gallery had a call for ‘Portraits’ juried by Elizabeth Flinsch. I sent in 5 of my pinhole portraits. Last week, I learned that I not only made the exhibition but the Fine Art Limited Edition Exhibition Book! I am truly grateful for the positive feedback towards my new passion.

***************************************************************************

And still further Ellen invites us to book an appointment for a portrait:

“I am currently booking appointments for Pinhole Portrait Session in March and April.”
