I'm pleased to announce that after a successful showing in Ft. Lauderdale, my exhibition, I Am Here: The Lesbian Portraits, will open at the Soho Photo Gallery in New York on December 6th.

Here is the evite:

And here is the summary of the exhibition:

Since the untimely death of his lesbian sister, photographer Robert Kalman has sought a way to create a tribute to her memory and her personal struggle. In this series of photographs, Kalman made formal street portraits of lesbian community members using a large, 8x10 view camera while asking them the question, “What’s life like for you right now?” Their handwritten responses which are paired with their portraits create a remarkable look at life today in our community. As one young woman wrote, “To be genuinely authentic and carry no shame is a beautiful thing.”

LOL. The few women we approached who turned out to be straight took the request to be photographed in good humor.
