FREE! See Ellen Fisch's Photographs of Harlem at Jadite Galleries in Midtown

DOG STAR is always curious about the ways photographers see the city.  We're not a photographer but we think often of the "framing" that happens when we look down the street, catch shadow and light across the top of a building and see just the moment when a little kid snatches the ball from his older brother and dashes down the block.


Sue Kwon's show last fall at Clic Gallery was a great view into "her" city, Bruce Davidson had another vision of the city in his shows at Bryce Wolkowitz and Pace/Wildenstern and now Ellen Fisch has a show coming to Jadite Galleries.


Taking Harlem as her subject, Fisch presents a vision of the neighborhood in beautiful black and white photographs.  We can't help but see her interest in architectural details (the subject of an earlier photo series) in the ways she sets her eye on sharp contrasts and the ways the city landscape makes its own form of decorative elements against the sky and concrete.


During the winter vacation, make time to go see Ellen's photos at Jadite Galleries from JANUARY 5-30
