Tis the season to remember lost things

Sometimes life becomes such a whirlwind that some things fall into the shadows. I am working on grabbing the reins and get this pony moving again. So hello to you my long lost blog. Since we last encountered each other I have traveled, laughed, cried, created new work and much much more.... Photos and stories to come.

Art Chicas Unidas Recap

Well the reception for Art Chicas Unidas was last Saturday. What a great program. I get very excited whenever I get the chance to share what I do with others. I also am a huge fan of collaboration. All in all two massive thumbs up to La Reunion! I posted an additional blog about the project from start to finish here. There is also a short video that the amazing Cindy Chaffin did for Art+Seek here.
Here is one of the images from the series produced from this program.

October 10th - 14th, Picture a Day

Building New, New York © erica felicella photography

October 10th
This was taken on a trip to New York a couple of years ago. I could not believe how many buildings will being torn down and how many new ones were being built. It was like a maze of scaffolding.


Broken Bow, Oklahoma © erica felicella photography

October 11th
Another early rise morning. This time in Oklahoma. This is a favorite spot for some pals of mine and I could see why. Very peaceful.


Almost Heaven, West Virginia © erica felicella photography

October 12th
This picture was captured on film several years ago in West Virginia while driving up the side of a mountain on a drizzly day.


Plano Balloon Festival © erica felicella photography

October 13th
This was my first journey out to Plano for the Balloon festival. Getting close to these balloons is an adventure indeed. The sound and the movement of the people working below. Maybe one day I will shoot from a basket in the air


Grassy Knoll, Dallas Texas © erica felicella photography

I finally walked out to the lawn of the grassy knoll a couple of years ago and had a chat with this man. There is a noticeable inner silence on this sidewalk. This image was shot on a Diana +.

October 9th, Picture a Day

West Texas Sunrise © erica felicella photography

This picture was taken about one hour south of Marfa, Texas at the Sutton Ranch. I remember jumping out of bed this morning, throwing on boots (because that is what you wear in the west Texas desert), grabbing my cameras and heading outside to catch the morning light. I was not the only camera creeping around in the tall grass that morning. We moved around each other in silence and awe. The beauty of this sunrise was one for my memory banks.

October 8th
This is another capture snapped from my old Continental Gin Building studio. My studio mate at that time was the wonderfully talented Cathey Miller. This picture was taken on the eve of a small soiree we had in the studio. I set up a small backdrop and captured our visitors. Thanks Jennie!

October 7th, Picture a Day

Race Point Lighthouse - Provincetown, Cape Cod © erica felicella photography

This photograph was before my digital days. I took this shot in 2001 on a trip to Cape Cod with my mother and father. What I remember about this shot is that I wanted to make the road leading up to it important. This is because right behind where I was standing was a Suburban with Texas plates that I had sunk down to the ground. Needless to say we were there for a while.


Well I have been working on this project for a full week now. There are many more shots to come. My work room is a wreck, there are negative pages laying around, contact sheets, loupes and Polaroids. I forgot how much I enjoy sitting at the light box with a loupe in my hand filled with anticipation for what gem I might find. All in all this project in injecting me with energy to dust off some old ideas and bring them forward.

October 6th, Picture a Day

Becky © erica felicella photography

This is another shot taken in my old Continental Gin Studio. You never knew what I would have lying around from old projects or things I just happen to purchase just to have lying around. Becky is wearing a very fashionable e-collar as a skirt and and fabulous rubber wig.
