PDNB x Stewart Cohen x "Identity"

Photographer Stewart Cohen's new manifesto "Identity" features 50 portraits of interesting people ranging from Campbell Bosworth, Eryhad Badu, Philip Glass and Johnny Lee Hooker. In each photograph, Cohen ask's the individual "What makes you unique?", which allows for the viewer to delve into the characters personality, and take it for what it's really worth.

"Stewart Cohen and his camera work magic...he does more than capture people and their personalities. He explores their identity. Each page will delight you, and also make you think. It's a treasure," commented Walter Isaacson. - Via PDNB

Photographs Do Not Bend (PDNB) will be hosting this exhibit "Identity" through April 14, 2010.

Esteban Pastorino Diaz @ Photographs Do Not Bend

Saturday, November 21-January 2, 2010

This Saturday Photographs Do Not Bend (PDNB) will hold an artist reception for Argentine artist Esteban Pastorino Diaz from 5pm-8pm! This International artist is known for his playful, aerial photographs that are taken by kite with his handmade camera creating some insane 3-D panoramic views; his latest project actually required him to acquire a pilot’s license and an extremely light craft. Diaz plans to break and set records by taking some of the longest and illest photos ever produced. These “play-land” esque 3-D photos are sure to catch the eyes of adults and children as well. Diaz also plans to arrive to Dallas early to create new works showcasing our city; and with all the life around the Metroplex, I’m sure our area will be an open canvas for Diaz. More here.

Shine, the first of PDNB’s fall exhibition’s features black and white vintage photos (taken mostly in NYC) of shoe shiners and shoe shine boxes that illustrate young, aggressive salesmen on their journey to success.

“Many stories of successful entrepreneurs started at a young age with the “start-up” shoe shine business. This narrative of a young man’s first plunge into commerce offers a nostalgic look into our own youthful dreams of making our own money.” – PDNB Gallery
