This month, Corcoran asked me to provide 6 black and white NYC framed and matted scenes, as well as one of my signature “Through The Windshield” series raindrop photos.  One staged room view is included below.  Click on the image below to see the listing and how my images complemented their look.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!  If you are looking for some new imagery and art to clothe your walls, check out some of my selections onhttp://danmarinophotography.com. You can purchase prints and some products directly from the website or you can contact me to discuss a custom project.

I also took a sabbatical about showing my landscape art in galleries.  That is also a thing of the past – POOF!

So without further adieu, you are all invited to the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) for this weekend’s gallery opening titled, “Tales of Breukelen”!  I am showing for the first time in a year and yes I had to be very obvious in selecting Brooklyn Bridge shots for this show.

Come check them out!  There are many festivities planed for the Saturday, September 17 opening – food, wine, live music, pizzazz!  I will not be in attendance until Sunday, September 18 around 2PM.  Let me know if you can make it; especially when I plan to be at the gallery!

Here is more info – click on the image to go to BWAC’s website:

Hello everyone,

Happy New Year!

  Yes I have been slacking with my blog stories but only because I have been unbelievably busy which is a very good thing.  One of my resolutions is to bring back news and interesting updates so watch out!

There will probably be one last redesign to my website and blog design and strategy to make things much easier for my clients and fans.  Another resolution, sit back and put together a well thought out site.

In the interim, you may have read this story when I discuss my company Brooklyn Studio Tours in October.  Or perhaps you just read in the NY Daily News by chance!  In any case, I wanted to start off the New Year with one of the big stories from last year – a story that I continue to use as motivation for my personal and company goals.  2011 will be an amazing and progressive year!

Back in October 2010, the NY Daily News contacted me with the intention of publishing a story about Brooklyn Studio Tours and the budding arts scene in Red Hook Brooklyn.  They did Google searches and immediately contacted me for an interview about the art studio tour (or artwalk) and my thoughts on Red Hook.  I also recommended a few more artists that could add interest and relevance. 

So here is the blast from the recent past – click this link to read the NY Daily News story from back in October.  Leave me a comment or send me an email to let me know what you think.  And also mark the 3rd or 4th weekend of May in your calendar – we will soon be publishing the dates for our large May artwalk.

Have a great year everyone and stay tuned – there are a lot of great things in progress to update you on!

I know I know – I have not been as bloggy as I used to be – that will change though!  There have been alot of exciting things in flight with Marino Photography, Brooklyn Studio Tours & TopStar Gallery.

The past couple of months have been dedicated to making Brooklyn Studio Tours – Red Hook & Carroll Gardens the best possible event through phenomenal local artists that deserve praise, excellent sponsors to help us grow and get the word out, and our partnership with Prudential Douglas Elliman who has made space available and has helped us heavily promote as well.

We are now finally here – the studio tour is slated for May 22 & May 23 from 12PM-6PM.  If you are free on Wednesday evening, May 19, we will be kicking off the festivities with an artist sneak peak and opening cocktail party – all are invited!

I hope to see you in Red Hook & Carroll Gardens this weekend to see some of my new work; as well as some of the new ways I am displaying my work.  I will physically be located at 136 Degraw Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231 with numerous photos hanging on the walls.  My work is also over at BWAC, Brooklyn’s largest art gallery on 499 Van Brunt St.

Have a great day and be sure to look out for my new blogs soon – I have many stories to fill you in on!

Each piece on display has a sub-theme "The Ocean". Come and see some new work and some different perspectives in locations such as New York City, Boston, Montauk and Aruba.

I have some staples on display from my beloved Coney Island; as well as a couple of items on the auction wall that relate well.

I hope to see you there - my panel numbers are 148 and 182. The show opens Saturday, July 11 an will run for 5 weeks until Sunday, August 16 - weekends only 1PM - 6PM. Visit BWAC's website for more details and directions.

The gallery is right off the Red Hook waterfront (across from Fairways and 2 blocks from IKEA) so you NYC dwellers can take the free IKEA water taxi while taking in some amazing scenic vistas of the Brookyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Statue of Liberty,NYC skyline, etc. There are even a couple of trolley cars off the waterfront that will catch your eye and bring you back to historic NYC - wouldn't it be great to see those on the streets again (see Brooklyn City Sreetcar Company for more details on that)?

Perhaps you can couple you visit with a stop to IKEA, the famous dessert spot baked, the famous Steve's Key Lime Pie, and/or to just take in some breathtaking scenic waterfront views (and bring your cameras!)

I hope to see you there one of these next 5 weekends - if our paths do not cross, then please reach and and tell me what you thought of my new works and the gallery in general - this is Brooklyn's largest art gallery.

Something new I will be doing - a few weeks into the show, I will post my items on display online for sale - think virtual gallery!

Hello my friends, family and supporters (and by supporters I mean friends and family!),

Just a quick note to keep you up to date and to let you know that I am extremely busy these days shooting anything and everything in regard to landscapes, fine art and stock; as well as getting really busy on the portrait side of the business - namely children portraits these days as we are nearing holiday season (and Fall is an amazing time to do outdoor foilage shoots - many many colors to incorporate into true photojournalistic and even studio shots).

So as the nature of this work (at least for sure in my business), the fall time closes out the major fine art gallery focus (although stay tuned for some of my Winter gallery appearances!), and opens up many more phone calls for portraiture, environmental portraiture, and even some commerical work I am starting to get into. Give me a holler (aka pick up the phone!), or send me an email and I can fill you in - I would love to hear from you as well!

My blog lines will be starting up again - October was a busy busy month for shooting but also personally as my 6 month old daughter had a minor surgery to recover from and then the whole family got sick and kept passing the buck onto each other! I am sure you have all experienced that in your life at one point - not fun, but at the same time it was an interesting experience to share (to say the least) - this is one thing I did not phtograph! (although I did shooting Ava's before and after photos from surgery - dang camera phones!).

To give you a preview, here is some Sept, Oct and Nov shots. For fine art, I have been endlessly searching for "Dare to be Different" shots (that John Dewey HS motto never left me / Also, this should be the themes for all you fellow Gemini's out there!)

Stay tuned for my next blog dubbed "Addison" - a photo shoot I recently completed of a 1 1/2 year old girl in the park.

I look forward to hearing from you!
