Photographer Craig Semetko is currently featured at the Leica Gallery's NYC branch. Following in the tradition of Henri Cartier Bresson, Semetko captures honest and often times amusing images of humanity. "Basically, I’m trying to present the elements of an interesting story in a single frame. The viewer writes the story they see..." notes Semetko.
A comedy writer and performer in an earlier life, Semetko utilizes his comedic sensibilities in his photography often capturing the slight ironies of everyday life, "I often put myself in places where the odds of something odd happening are high."
The Leica Gallery "present pictures taken by international photographers using Leica cameras or which have received an award as part of a Leica cultural project." The New York City branch gallery is free to visit and features new exhibits every 2-3 months. Craig Semetko's fantastic UNPOSED runs until February 26th in celebration of his new book bearing the same title. Prints and signed copies of UNPOSED are available as well.

Ah! Look at the look on Marylin's face!!! What a clever idea. haha. Great work.
the 'Clock' is amazing -i've heard from few friends who's seen it. Will do my best to make it before they close.
Have you seen Anton Kandisky's Alexander McQueen tribute at the CATM gallery? I went to the opening on Saturday and it was just beyond incredible. What you think of Kandinsky's work?

Thanks for the comment Leon! I'll be honest I don't know much about Kandisky's work. Any suggestions on a good place to start??
