About this project
Hello family, friends, photography buffs, and the merely curious. Thanks for stopping by!
If you don't know me, my name is Anastasia Courtney and I'm preparing for my first solo photography show in NYC.
Photography for me is a passion and a way of exploring life, so it's always been a work of love to shoot, print, and share. I work at a nonprofit and live in Manhattan. Finances as always are tight, and I'm trying to complete this project without going into debt, which is why I am seeking your assistance. Contributions of any amount are welcome. If you don't see a pledge/reward combination that interests you but you still want to contribute, please let me know.
This is the first time I'm attempting a show this size in NY. I was invited to show my work at Learn Italy, a new Italian language and culture center in NYC, as the first of their cultural events. So, I have a venue for the show and a date (September 24), and now have to print, mount, frame, and hang the photos, print the books, and promote the show.
The title of the show is "Fragments" and the photographs in the show are images of bits and pieces of life as I've experienced it over the past ten years. Life to me is a series of moments - a gesture, a glance, a touch, a phrase - little moments that add up to general impressions and memories. Living in Manhattan, I see so much of life in my peripheral vision while walking, and I'm drawn to those random captured moments.
For some examples of my photography, please visit my Web site (http://anastasiaarts.carbonmade.com/) or Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/23597774@N02/)
I hope this gives you a sense of me and my project. Please enjoy the photos and I hope to see you at the show on September 24.
Grazie mille!
Anastasia
