Life Saver © Caren Alpert

San Francisco based photographer Caren Alpert used her passion of food imagery and food issues to create her latest fine art project microscopically photographing food. Through her lens, common food items from blueberries to fortune cookies—are transformed into wondrous and often mysterious landscapes of texture and color. Alpert showed My Life With Science, Art and Food as a participant at this year’s Photolucida in Portland, Oregon.

“As a food lover and a photographer I answer these questions visually. Using scientific laboratory photo equipment, I journey over the surfaces of both organic and processed foods: my own favorites and America’s over-indulgences. The closer the lens got, the more I saw food and consumers of food (all of us!) as part of a larger eco-system than mere sustenance.” —Caren Alpert

Pamplona’s San Fermin festival is famous to outsiders for the running of the bulls through the city streets, but to locals it is a nine-day celebration of age-old magic where everything is real–and everything is possible. This image shows an old lady  dressing a “kiliki” on the last day of the festival, before he says good-bye to the children until next year. Each day the kiliki run after the kids trying to beat them with their coshes in a never ending game. Some children love them while others feel scared, but all of them cry when they say good- bye until next year.

“Donna J. Wan does literally put us “In the Landscape.” How we look or how we see is at the heart of this work. Man’s presence is important in this work because it provides us with a sense of scale, the way in which we are dwarfed by the enormity of Nature. She gets it right. Seeing from the photographer’s distant point of view we share that smallness, like little specks of humanity, flies on the wall … of a mountain”.— W.M. Hunt

Donna J. Wan, Ahron D. Weiner, Skott Chandler and Harold Ross will be exhibiting in Klompching Gallery’s FRESH exhibition, co-curated by W.M. Hunt and Darren Ching. The exhibition launches with an opening reception on Thursday July 21, 6pm—8pm and continues through to August 13.
