I had the opportunity to peer into the Atlanta Masonic Center this week for an interesting story about race within the mysterious organization. Apparently, Masons Lodges tend to be segregated, but one white Atlanta lodge, the Gate City Lodge No. 2, accepted Victor Marshall, a black man, last fall and other lodges are none to pleased. Now Gate City has filed a state suit seeking an injunction to prevent its charter from being revoked.

Luceo Images: Biannual Meeting

Posted by admin on Monday Jun 22, 2009 Under Uncategorized, luceo

While there seems to be a lot of self-destruction in the newspaper industry and now the magazine industry is making cuts, it is such a comfort to be a part of a group of passionate photographers with similar goals and visions. Last week, following the Festival of the Photograph, Luceo Images had it’s biannual meeting. It was so good to be in a room with these guys again — our last meeting was in january in NYC — and though the meeting days were long, we have accomplished so much in the past 6 months and have so many exciting plans for the future.

These photographers inspire me and keep me ever-striving to keep par with them.

So, again, here is Luceo Images: Matt Eich (Eastern Seaboard), Tim Lytvninenko (Eastern Seaboard), Kevin German (Southeast Asia), David Banks (Southeast) and Matt Slaby (Rocky Mountain West/Latin America)… oh and y’know, lil ole me.

To keep up to date with Luceo Images happenings, check the Luceo Blog often.

I’ve been playing a mad game of catch-up after a week away for the Look3 Festival of the Photograph in Virginia, a wedding in South Carolina and then back to Virginia for Luceo Images’ biannual meeting. My favorite stretch of the more than 1,800 miles driven was in South Carolina on Highway 221:

My photo collective, Luceo Images will be debuting a group project in the Look3 Theater this week.  We are all pleased to have had the chance to collaborate with Syracuse University’s very own Bruce Strong and two of his extremely talented students, Brad Horn and Brian Dawson, in putting together our little contribution to the event.  David Walter Banks and Matt Eich will also have projects featured in the Slideluck Potshow viewing at Rapture Thursday night.  For folks coming to Look3, we’re all looking forward to catching up. Gonna be some good times and great photography.
