Today is the last day for a group show that I am a part of with two of my tree pictures from "encounters" series. On the left, it is "Two Poplars, Bois de Vincennes, France, 2010" and on the right, it is "In the Snow Storm, Gillette, NJ, 2010." Both pictures were made at night using 6x7 medium format film camera. Left picture made without tripod, right picture made on a tripod. Right picture was made during a snow storm. They are black walnut trees. My neighbor decided to cut those two years ago and sadly they are gone now. Black walnut tree is my favorite tree. Poplar trees are abundant in Korea but not in the USA where I live. They bring me back to my childhood memory in Korea. Both pictures are framed in maple wood without glass or plexigalss. I like viewers to see my pictures without struggling with reflections. "Weaving Time: An Exhibition from the Archive of Korean-American Artists, Part 3" is on view at Gallery Korea (460 Park Ave, 6Fl, NYC) until May 28, 2015. #photography #trees #minnylee #encounters #nyc #exhibit
