Taylor Photography Raw and Uncut Jay Pack of J.A. Taylor Photography, by day is a musculoskeletal radiologist, but in his free time he creates fabulous works of art using unique techniques such as vintage film cameras. He discovered his love for photography when his first daughter was born four years ago. It began as a hobby but soon became a passion and eventually a profession. He transitioned from digital to film when the high resolution, picture perfect images were not quite satisfactory to him. Pack wanted to create something with a soul, something organic. It was then he began to experiment with 35mm film and eventually moved into what he does now, which is large format photography. “When light interacts with the film emulsions, something magical happens, and I absolutely love that. I really like the challenge of large format because nothing is automatic, everything is done by the photographer.” says Pack. Pack will display new work entitled "Raw and Uncut" in the MIDWESTMEDIA and @1614 studio. A collection of color and black and white images shot with a variety of cameras and films such as large and medium format and expired film will be on display. Most of the black and white images were hand developed by Pack himself. A remarkable aspect of Pack’s work is that all of the proceeds from his photography go to benefit children’s charities across the world. Pack has found a very effective way to combine his passion of art and children’s charities. "I want my viewers to see the beauty not only in the photographs, but also in doing something for someone and expecting nothing in return. In my case, I give to children who are fighting unfair fights, but regardless of the cause, it's just so rewarding to turn something you're passionate about into something that benefits people." says Pack.

May earned a professional printer’s certificate from Tamarind Institute of Lithography in Albuquerque, NM in 2009. "Conceptually my work has in the past my work been a lot about my family and my background; the dual culture household I have lived in and grew up in. It's evolving, the concepts." says May. May will display new work titled Gesture in the MIDWESTMEDIA and @1614 studio. A collection of new and old framed mixed media pieces along with unframed screen prints and lithography will be on display as well. "I'm putting something personal on the canvas, or the board, or paper, or whatever substrate it is." Yang said. "How that is able to inspire other people is really interesting.

Mark aims to create a visually-interesting portrayal of the character of a subject as opposed to merely making a document of that subject. "My approach to making photographs is simple: I drive down small highways or dirt roads, listening to old Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen records searching for some gritty thing to catch my eye." Waits says. "I get a thrill when I see a rusty car, grafittied train, or clapboard church and instantly know how I want to compose it. I grab my camera and immediately get to work." It's a great feeling when the lighting is just right, I've positioned myself perfectly, composed a strong design, and captured the essence of a subject. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/thumbnail.png" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/thumbnail_o.png" data-mid="11408450" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/dark tree.png" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/dark tree_o.png" data-mid="11408633" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/high.png" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/high_o.png" data-mid="11408641" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/meers.png" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/meers_o.png" data-mid="11408643" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/old car.png" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/2273592/old car_o.png" data-mid="11408651" border="0" align="left"/> To learn more about Mark and his photography, or to purchase an image, please visit his website here MARK WAITS PHOTOGRAPHY. http://www.at1614.com/Desmond-Mason http://www.at1614.com/following/at1614.com/Desmond-Mason Tue, 11 Oct 2011 05:24:19 +0000 @1614 2130830 Desmond Mason peace, comfort, and happiness During his years at Oklahoma State University, Desmond Mason blossomed as a basketball player under the coaching of Eddie Sutton. He appeared in 3 NCAA tournaments, while advancing to the Elite 8. Mason’s basketball career was extended when he was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics with the 17th pick of the NBA Draft’s first round. Desmond’s time at OSU not only helped his basketball skills, but helped developed his real passion, which was the arts. During his senior season Desmond started to get noticed nationally not for just his basketball talent, but his artistic ability as well, garnering a feature in Sports Illustrated. "As I look at my paintings, when you paint something and you don't like it you can paint and start over. You can't start over in life, but if you take life as a daily thing, the next day is a new canvas." In 2004 Desmond founded the Desmond Mason Art Show. Sales from his artwork are donated to numerous local charities. He has sold over 130 art pieces to collectors all over the world and has used his artistic talents to inspire kids and help his community. "I look at why I paint, and what I paint for, and how I create..." Mason said. "Emotionally wherever I am, that is what my art reflects. That's really why once I start a piece I try not to stop until I'm done, because that emotion will change." Mason has said, what inspires his art the most is his wife Andrea and their two children Jada and Elijah. Desmond is a true Renaissance Man and is known best for his integrity, philanthropy and passion for positive change. http://www.at1614.com/Dylan-Bradway http://www.at1614.com/following/at1614.com/Dylan-Bradway Fri, 16 Sep 2011 18:45:19 +0000 @1614 2009201 Dylan Bradway new works Growing up in Oklahoma City, Dylan was surrounded by a very creative family atmosphere which allowed him to find his passion for art at a young age. Throughout his schooling Dylan continued to build his creative talents in many art related studies that led to his BFA in Graphic Design obtained with honors in 2006. With a drive for supporting emerging artists he has built a close relationship with his local arts community and over the past few years has began to pursue national and international artistic connections. Dylan currently works as a graphic designer and art director in Oklahoma City while pursuing his passion for visual arts. His work has been shown in many exhibits in the United States including: Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Dallas, Brooklyn and Los Angeles. In 2009 his work overseas for a solo exhibition in Hannover, Germany. "What I am trying to pursue with the body of work is an exploration into a deeper side of my own personal spirit." Bradway says. "I want that to inspire people to look into the idea of a spiritual side of life that may not be based off a religion or doctrine, but more of living life, and experience. That type of spiritual self."

That hasn't stopped her from making some truly beautiful art. In this collection, Brummell has focused on using photos of beautiful women from the 20’s and 30’s and combined them with tattered book covers and parts of old money. “I start with a photo and turn it into a graphic image,” Brummell explained, “Then I take away layers so that bits of the background can show through. At the end, it melds into a glamorously deconstructed composition.” For more information about Tammy Brummell - please visit her facebook page located here - Tammy Brummell <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1849498/tammy1.png" width="670" height="263" width_o="1920" height_o="754" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1849498/tammy1_o.png" data-mid="9143094" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1849498/tammy2.png" width="670" height="261" width_o="1920" height_o="750" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1849498/tammy2_o.png" data-mid="9143097" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1849498/tammy3.png" width="670" height="262" width_o="1920" height_o="752" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1849498/tammy3_o.png" data-mid="9143098" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1849498/tammy4.png" width="670" height="262" width_o="1920" height_o="752" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1849498/tammy4_o.png" data-mid="9143099" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.at1614.com/Mandy-Black http://www.at1614.com/following/at1614.com/Mandy-Black Fri, 08 Jul 2011 06:40:58 +0000 @1614 1699543 Mandy Black flightless bird Inspired by her battle with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and the notion of flying, both metaphorically and literally, Black creates art that transports its viewer into her world.

Over the years she’s developed a homogenous blend of both contemporary and still life, often incorporating flowers, birds, trees and fish into gorgeous abstract backgrounds. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 3.png" width="670" height="285" width_o="940" height_o="401" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 3_o.png" data-mid="5886250" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 4.png" width="670" height="284" width_o="939" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 4_o.png" data-mid="5886253" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 5.png" width="670" height="284" width_o="941" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 5_o.png" data-mid="5886255" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 6.png" width="670" height="285" width_o="941" height_o="401" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 6_o.png" data-mid="5886259" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 2.png" width="670" height="284" width_o="937" height_o="398" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 2_o.png" data-mid="5886249" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 1.png" width="670" height="282" width_o="938" height_o="396" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/29029/1219686/Picture 1_o.png" data-mid="5886247" border="0" align="left"/> But color has been the consistent driving force behind Brooke’s art, whether it be acrylic painting or paper collage. Her bold choices, strong contrast and amazing sense for complimentary hues and patterns demand attention without begging for it. Brooke’s ultimate desire would be for her art to be in a home where it is appreciated simply for what it is…something beautiful.
