Welcome NYPH Photographer Ian Spanier!

We're so pleased to welcome portrait photographer Ian Spanier to The Den! And what better way to welcome Ian, than by sharing news of his latest photographic award and exhibition. Ian has been awarded a finalist in the NYPH Last Picture Show competition.

"Award-winning  portrait, lifestyle, travel photographer Ian Spanier has just been awarded as a finalist in the NYPH Last Picture Show competition for his personal book project Right Next Door. The Last Picture Show exhibition opening reception will take place at The PowerHouse Arena in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, October 17, 2015,  from 6-8 PM. The exhibition will be in view through November 20, 2015.

Brief on the project: Right Next Door There’s a world-record holder living just three houses away. In the home adjacent to yours resides a guy who worked as a set carpenter for The Sopranos but now just relaxes in blissful suburban anonymity. Two blocks over is the home of the air-traffic controller who guided the “Miracle on the Hudson” jetliner gently down to its landing in the river. People with stories like these are all over, in every neighborhood across this vast country. Do we know about them, though? Do we really have any idea who our neighbors are? Right Next Door will cross that threshold to show that amazing human beings with extraordinary lives aren’t just found on television or online. They’re all around us — and many live far closer than we think.
