Lights and colours. Time Square, Broadway, The Theater District. This town lights up and becomes even more alive than in the day time, if that is possible. People are out in the streets all night long, like a big party.
My friend Eli and I were driving through this spectacle with me sticking my head out the skylight window, even though it was raining, and snapping away with my camera in all directions. There wasn't a bad angle to be found. All were exciting and all were wonderfully colourful and bright.
I have always wondered what is it about this city that makes people feel this way about it. It is legendary and glamorous. Hyped by the media, and especially made popular through film over the years. So many in the visual arts, theater, cinema and music have considered it to be the ultimate place to “make it”.
Completely uninhibited, she just loved posing! And I loved shooting her. Time and time again, stills and video. A rare model with rare qualities, Kimmey's every pose – a gift.
I keep coming back to my archived sessions, finding gems that I am very excited to process into art every time.

A free spirit to be admired. No, not I.
What is it about the middle-aged male that drives him to his own sexual doubt.
Why do we have a need to prove our vigor, our masculinity. A need to validate our maleness, our strength, our power. A longing for youth, long gone, that can not be recaptured ever again.
A life’s reconciliation even if it is not over.
So we start to take care of our neglected bodies.
We dress to appear younger.
Well, maybe not younger, but at least more virile.
Can we still charm a youthful lass? Will they be stirred by us?
We certainly are by them.
Can we be more pathetic?
But our hormones are bouncing wildly in our insides like when we hit puberty, except this time with a fool’s wisdom that only comes with age.
That comes in mid-life.
So we channel it. Redirect this powerful stuff.
The power of art. Creativity.
I feel inspired.
I need to create beauty.
I need to see and feel beauty all around me.
I need!
Feminine beauty that goes beyond the physical.
In these images I hope to capture the artistic essence of my model. The expression of her beauty that is conveyed through her face, body and movement while in her slumberous state. As the artist, my expression is a celebration of womanhood. My tribute to the “sacred feminine”.

I have been photographing this old travel trunk for four years now. It is kept out doors through the seasons and is getting more and more oxidized every year. The rust creates a very interesting texture and colour against the trunks original paint, making for very interesting visuals.

“Impressions After The Session” documents a conversation between photographer Sol Lang and his wife Mary Bogdan that took place after a photoshoot with model Arianna Espen Grimoldi in Rapallo, Italy. The conversation is interspersed with behind the scenes footage of the actual session and the film includes many of the resulting photographs.
“This film – an oeuvre of love – culminates my various passions, including photography, videography and beauty, especially feminine beauty. It is one of my most labor intensive works. It combines almost the entirety of a photoshoot, that took place in 2012, at which time I had intended to one day produce a short documentary film. The work consisted of film editing, post production of the photographs and the final assembly of stills and video. My wife and collaborator shot most of the video during the session, while I was photographing Arianna (the model).
In the course of creating this film, I learned many things about my art. But mostly about the process of communication through photography and videography.
I hope that it will be an inspiration to those who’s interests are photography, especially those interested in the collaboration of artist and model.”
The work is my expression in photography and video art, through the improvisational dance moves and voice of performance artist Vicki Tansey.
My concerns are in the ambiguity and imperfection of language and the complexity of communication. Words that have been the accepted tool for expression either spoken or written, have often fallen short when it came to understanding between individuals or groups. Differences in culture, religion, social status or even gender, have contributed to misunderstanding and often causing conflict.
The photographs deliver a complex message that is not so much from the head as it is from the gut. Images that are left to the viewer’s interpretation,
they are the result of combining deliberate camera shake to continuous and expressive dance moves. With minimal direction, Vicki improvises dance to the sound of her own recorded voice.
As does dance, so my visual dictionary of body language transcends spoken or written word. It traverses intellectual boundaries.
This is a selection of photographs, which is the result of extensive editing from several hundred images.
Along with the material of this package, I propose to include a short video film (not yet produced). This will be my creation with the collaboration of Vicki, whereby I will film her as she dances to one of her own, improvised musical recordings. This will further investigate the expression in movement and sound. It will be a montage of imagery with Vicki at the center, as she gestures expressively in her improvised dance. The film will take place at a selection of locations that will be chosen for their personal significance in her life.
In my mind I conjure up images from post holocaust documentary films of the death camps taken by the allied forces. Bodies piled up one on top of the other, as the bulldozers would shovel them into the massive graves. Trees symbolize life. Cut down gives me an ominous feeling that foreshadows an end of humanity.
These photographs were taken in Canada where the lumber industry is well regulated to maintain the forests. As the grown trees are cut down there are young ones planted to keep replenishing the tree population. Nevertheless the feeling of sadness and doom is ever present.

All winter long, I find spent shells of oranges flung under the tree. Sometimes I find a half-eaten cup of an orange nested in the crook of the leafless pistache tree - like a lunch waiting to be revisited. Finally caught this boy in the action.
Nearly 20 years after escaping the cold of New England, this is still an amusing sight.
As I am descending into the underworld, I see the structures that support what was once a great metropolis. I remark the infrastructure that linked it to other great cities. Massive supports to hold up tons of concrete and rail. The sound of an occasional locomotive breaks the silence rumbling as it passes overhead and then disappearing. Swallowed by the huge mouth of a sleeping city. The stillness once again reigns over mammoth walls and columns.

Museum of Modern Art. View of the lobby as seen from the third level. What a great place for art.
If you view the "original size" it's almost like taking a live tour.
As frenzied as these gulls were in their flight, so was I on the shutter button. Every second yielded a different composition.
Layered between each other, their reflections in the water and their shadows on the ice made the images even that much more complex and exciting.
Although the angle of view is downward, there is an ambiguity due to the reflection of the sky in the water and the melting ice so that it seems like I am shooting skyward. This makes the walking ducks and sea gulls appear to be walking in the sky.
Consider the contrasting elements of individual compared to group, sky compared to water compared to clouds, in-flight compared to earthbound, up compared to down, heaven compared to earth, big compared to small, reflections compared to shadows, gulls compared to ducks.
The images convey something much deeper than what they appear to be documenting on first glance. Take a moment to meditate upon them. As one views them, one can’t help but notice the visual transparency and fluidity of these images. But more than that, the subtle messages that are conveyed both visually and symbolically, give these images spiritual richness that goes beyond their apparent beauty.
