Sometimes the journey is the destination, taken down the way from La Lancha’s trash-strewn parking lot.

Amelia’s World
I’ve posted about the photography of Robin Schwartz before. Robin is having a show at Tomasulo Gallery in Cranford, NJ of her Amelia World series. The show opens this Friday, March 14th from 6-8pm and runs until April 17th:
Animals have always been an important part of Schwartz’s work and are represented as part of our everyday world. The Amelia photographs are drawn from real journeys with her daughter, generated fantasies. The photographs create fables of an allegorical and imaginary world. Schwartz explains that she and Amelia, “…play out their eccentricities where Amelia and animals not only co-exist but also have relationships. Animals are not props in my photographs and are not “PhotoShopped” in. Our world is one where the line of who is a person and who is an animal overlaps, is blurred.”
In addition, Amelia’s World is being published by The Aperture Foundation as part of the Tiny Vices series. very cool!
If you go to the show, tell Robin I said ‘hi!’
