Have Faith Post Sandy


Have Faith is an image I photographed in Soho in 2008 while walking down Broadway in NYC. I felt like sharing this photo on my blog because I think many need a little reminder now that as hard as things may get, eg: the devastation that occurred during Hurricane Sandy, that those things will hopefully get better. For example, maybe politicians will work on helping mother nature recover from human insensitivity (eg: the fossil fuel industry, CO2 creation, tearing down rain forests, cruel animal testing, genetically modified foods, etc) so that our lives are less tumultuous.  I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope this will stop people from thinking that global warming is a "natural occurrence" and make them realize that we need to care for our environment. 

One reason I developed
The Museum of Messages is because I feel that it is important to photograph people's visual emotions to remind others that we are not alone. Best of luck to those that were affected by Hurricane Sandy. May you have a speedy recovery!

J. Henry Fair - An Artful Environmental Impact

Exhibition ends at Gerald Peters Gallery
on Friday, February 11, 2011
The vivid color photographs of J. Henry Fair lead an uneasy double life as potent records of environmental pollution and as ersatz evocations of abstract painting. This makes “Abstraction of Destruction,” his exhibition at the Gerald Peters Gallery, a strange battle between medium and message, between harsh truths and trite, generic beauty.
I met J. Henry Fair on the train on the way back to NYC a few weeks ago. I am so very glad that he introduced himself because I saw his show this afternoon and was awestruck by the colors that popped off his photos. He was also written up in Photo District News in Conor Risch's Exposure section. I highly recommend seeing his exhibition.

New Photo by Helena V. Supporting Our Environment


Last week I lit and photographed the above orange purse in front of one of my photos from The Museum of Messages

In post production I added the green to expand the frame, added water coming out of the spout and set the type that says "be ("kind" is in the original photo) to our environment". You can see the original back drop photo (behind the purse) at http://themuseumofmessages.com/
