Introductions that are long overdue.
PERSEUS
The Bohemian of us. [link]
Rome been there, done that. It's where he learned to cook both in the kitchen and the darkroom. Working with film has become so much a part of his blood it's not uncommon to find trays of developer and fixer under his bed. Or next to it, in the case of the air mattress.
Having graduated from Temple University with a major in English and a minor in Studio Art, finding themes in his work has never been problematic. Acute commentary and realized philosophy all take shape within his large gallery mostly black & whites, mostly self-portraits. And he's a big fan of being naked.
The newest and most official member of the Project, with shows in Philadelphia, and currently helping to shape the eager young minds of tomorrow at the Santa Fe Workshops, curiously located in Santa Fe.

PAN
"Photography's better in 1's and 0's."
The digital guru. Whether his work is of sweeping landscapes, intricate macros, or beautiful women, it will always have the distinguished gloss of surreality. The world of clean perfection is so much more appealing than simple documentation.
A long way from Drexel University, the City of Angels offers the promise of success. But for a person who leaps when most others simply step, it has been the tree from which to nourish. The "rookie", his work has matured over the months from raw and inspired to meticulous and refined. He is the calm little center of the universe. Savvy. And completely fucking brash.
When he's not Photoshopping, he's consulting at work. Pharmaceuticals, with a Masters in Biochemical Engineering. Because it's fun and relaxing.
Weapons of choice: Nikon F5, Sony DSC-R1, Mamiya RB67 Pro S
ICARUS
The mad-scientist hybrid.
The guy who knew ASA and grain structure before he did state capitals. A cinematographer by trade and passion, a print's a print and you'll never get out better than what you put in. It's all about perfection in capture. No matter what the medium.
From Temple University where he majored in Filmmaking, he builds a bridge between the two philosophies. Where some see a digital revolution, he sees a photographic evolution. In pursuit of the perfect image, there should be one rule: whatever it takes. Style in search of elegance.
The student of us, in his second year at the American Film Institute, gearing toward a Masters in Cinematography. And hopefully coming soon to a theater near you.
Weapons of choice: Canon EOS 20D, Pentax P50
