This Thursday evening, the Translight Photography Center will host the first Open Show Los Angeles event near the downtown area.
Conceived in 2008 under the name SideSlam, photographer and multimedia producer Tim Wagner, along with Adrianne Koteen and Melanie Light, created the event to give artists the opportunity to showcase their work and receive feedback for their efforts. Two years later, what began as a small gathering in the San Francisco Bay Area is now called Open Show and being held in cities throughout the world.
Open Show runs regular events where the public can see fresh, compelling work and interact directly with photographers, filmmakers and multimedia producers in high‐profile spaces. Our free monthly show is a social mixer plus screening event where five curated presenters (from professionals to students) have 10 minutes each to show a 20 image story or 4‐7 minute video/multimedia project.
The presenters for Open Show Los Angeles are:
Mark Indig (Close on Sunday) : MarkIndigPhotography.com
Shawn Nee (Thank You For Your Call) : discarted.com
Steve Saldivar (East Los Angeles) : stevesaldivar.com
Michael Kirchoff (An Enduring Grace) : michaelkirchoff.com
LOS ANGELES SHOW:
Thursday, October 21, 7:30-9:30pm

Miley Cyrus Needs to Shut Up and Eat Her Breakfast
Published October 16, 2010 Harassment , Photographers' Rights Leave a CommentTags: Los Angeles, Miley Cyrus, paparazzi
Sorry Miley, but if you’re so concerned about your 10-year-old sister being photographed then maybe you shouldn’t bring her out in public where there is no expectation of privacy and it is not against the law to videotape anyone. And if being photographed in public bothers you so much that it causes you to act like a self-righteous clam and put your hands on someone else’s property, then you should stay home and have your private chef cook you breakfast.
It was you, who was being rude…DUDE. Threatening to call the police because a woman was photographing you while in public? That’s a laugh. What would be the charge? More important, how can you even justify your behavior when your little sis’s picture is dreadfully already all over the place! Get over yourself.
This woman should’ve smacked you as soon as you touched her camera and told you to shut-the-fuck-up and go back to your overpriced fruit cup. But I love how you didn’t have enough bitch in you to do anything about all of the male paparazzi that were standing much closer to the restaurant photographing your annoying sister.
I’m presuming she’s annoying, since she shares your genes.
Shia LaBeouf Attacks Pap with Coffee, Then Runs Away

This video seems like a big joke, but it also makes me want to give up documentary photography and become a paparazzo. I already live in Los Angeles, and how great would it be to actually make great money taking pictures and then get to drop-kick Shia LaDouche’s ass after he throws coffee on you? Why don’t any of these paps ever kick the shit out of these celebrities going wild? Maybe Arnie should sign another law creating harsher penalties for celebrities who attack law-abiding photographers.
What a passive-aggressive pussy you are LaBeouf, running away like that.

Not sure if this one will materialize, but there is an immigration reform march planned for this Saturday in downtown Los Angeles. The start time is allegedly 10 pm (which is very odd), since most rallies usually kick off before noon. I’m guessing the march actually begins at 10 am.
Date: Saturday, October 16, 2010
Time: 10 pm (the march may actually start at 10 am)
Location: Olympic and Broadway intersection (downtown Los Angeles)
Los Angeles, CA
Please Help Publish “Thank You For Your Call”

In July I created a multimedia project entitled “Thank You For Your Call,” which helped shed some light on the fact that thousands of LGBT community members are unfairly denied Social Security survivors benefits each year because the federal government does not consider their relationships vaild. Over the past few months, the video appeared on NPR, NBC, The New Yorker, and The Advocate. However, I am now trying to get the still images and the story published in print form, which is a difficult task in itself.
One avenue is through JPG Magazine, but in order for that to happen the project needs your vote. So I am asking readers to join JPG Magazine and vote “Yes” if you think “Thank You For Your Call” deserves publishing.

And I apologize for the campaigning, but this story must be seen by as many people as possible.
