  • I so wish I could be there. Good luck with it all and I hope the floor doesn’t collapse with the huge crowds that’ll likely attend. Will such an event ever likely take place in London? If so, I’d like to be involved in some capacity.

  • There is no such thing as being utterly unique. Unique describes an absolute state and does not take an adjective. The word means singular and something is either singular or it isn’t.

  • “…extraordinarily exquisite selection…”

    and highlight the apostrophe S in David Alan Harvey’s

  • My apologies for the pedanticism, folks; that sort of thing grates on my eyeballs.

  • and put the apostrophe after the S in special collector’s showing (you expect only one to show up?)

  • a civilian-mass audience

    MAY THE SPIRITS OF UNIVERSE BE WITH ALL OF YOU… !!!

  • I like the poster and the red points! I wish I could be there too…

    have a nice day, show, exhibition, evening!

  • One day, I will have to move to New York…. Drives me nuts to be missing these events but hey….I hope you have all fun and that our Burnians sell many many prints…. I also would not mind having one from Alex…. :) or Bruce :)…. Erica, we want a detailed report!!!!!!

    Cheers,

    Eric

  • great selection david!
    have a nice evening and good luck.

  • ALL….

    if you are coming to this event, do not bring everyone you know please…also, it might be a good idea if you brought some refreshments…we will have some, but i found out from my insurance agent that i am at high risk serving unlimited amounts of alcohol…these events have always been crowded but well behaved…i am assuming the same tonight..

    AKAKY..

    you are of course quite right…proofreaders deserve always a special place in every publication and we do not have one..so easy to make simple obvious mistakes when rushed……thanks for looking…..we are fixing it right now…

    cheers, david

  • AUDREY…ERIC…

    sorry you both cannot be here…incidentally, the show will grow before it goes to PhotoWeek in Washington in about three weeks….many new pieces will be added, yours among them….

    cheers, david

  • I too wish I could be there.

  • Eric – i will try..will be rushing along from the Frank exhibit then lecture, certain to have brain overload..no one do or say anything interesting before I get there for the sake of reporting :)

  • Clicking my red ruby slippers…

    There’s no place like Burn.

  • I wish I could go down to the city and see the show, but that’s not possible today. Everyone enjoy, and Mr Harvey, again my apologies for being such a grammatical nitpicker. Nuns have ways of making sure you never forget this sort of thing and all of those ways are painful, or at least I thought so at the time.

  • why why why am in not in new york?!

  • God I wish I could be there to see this. David what you are doing for photographer is so Appreciated.

  • mmmm..

  • relax…it shall be done….

    Great !

    How ’bout making it interactive like Google Streetview :>))

    Next time!

  • Wow, dear David, all of you; Congratulation!!! This is fantastic, you/Burn is really writing history here! I wish I could have been there..
    Haven´t been posting here for a long, long time, so I propably missed a lot. But just curious, do you select the Burn pictures for the show, or how does it work? I am going to Greenland again, but will be back, I promise.
    Good luck with the show,
    hugs Andrea

  • Congratulations everyone! Have a great night.

  • Panos,
    the horse got sick? Mustangs these days are getting more and more moody.
    Perhaps you should get yourself a decent Ford Fiesta with a 1.1 liter engine. Fuel efficient and cheap ;-) Mine never let me down.
    Okay, after 10 years of service and 250 000 kilometers on the clock, the speedometer stopt working. A tiny piece of plastic broke and was too expensive to fix… the TÜV (Technischer Überwachungs-Verein), which is a group of serious looking folks who check cars every 2 years, don’t like broken speedometers… that was the end of my trusty red Ford Ferrari…
    Hope your horse will be running again soon :-)

    Burnians in N.Y.
    enjoy the evening at the burn gallery! I will think of you!
    All the best!

  • Reimar..:))))))
    big hug…and yes…
    Ford and GM are dinosaurs that destroyed our economy..
    Detroit is STARVING because Ford keeps making mustangs ( still no independent suspension..
    rear live axle…in 2010… and stupid GM making camaros..)
    in the meantime Toyota Prius makes a killing… best selling car for years….
    But the guzz guzzler automakers still wont figure out why they bankrupt…!!!????
    yes my effing mustang with the 300 horsepower cant even move like a donkey…
    water pumps and fuel pumps and censors and this and that and its only has 20.000miles on the odometer..
    go figure..
    ( donkey was actually the original hybrid..:))))))

    but on a slightly happier mode…
    Obama is the NOBEL PRIZE WINNER…
    imagine 8 years from now…
    new Ghandhi..????????????
    ( again, Cathy, u r not allowed to go India ever again…u r banned…;-)

  • Panos, I would like to see your Greece … where the troll is … and Burn needs a Greek office, or does Civi already have that covered?

  • keftedes and mythos all around …

  • kelly lynn, the brilliant author of the “burn” name, i keep waiting for the finished swimmers multimedia show to play here …

  • Tom,
    u bet … about greece…
    and i have to work “hard” to fit in the greek “mytho”logy…
    i totally rely on that particular CIVILIAN…
    magnetic paint and azaleas and keftedes and mythos…
    and unprotected greek island sex…and afgani hash instead of california chronic…
    WHAT NOT TO LOVE???

  • I need to get the hell outta iowa. Cold winters, mediocre culture and Chuck Grassley. What’s to love???

  • David Alan Harvey.

    So don’t rush. The poster on top was a disaster. Best way to proof read is make a simple, low res print. Mistakes leap off the printed page whereas they will not present so easily on screen. I didn’t say anything in my first post because a, I was rushing out and b, I’ve been campaigning on this stuff for ages and I’m jaded. Besides, though english is the first language of the global internet, it’s not always the first language of the person posting. However, english is the language of burn, along with photography and so there’s no excuse.

    The photography is of the highest standard here. So too should be the official announcements, no?

    Hoping y’all are havin’ a ball.

    I’m off to bed. Good night.

    Paul Treacy

  • Ohhh… Brian..
    u r an honest man…
    and you are INVITED…
    ( now i started copying Civilian and thats lame and tedious )…
    but like i said to Tom… greece is not even my country anymore..
    i dont even consider it home, but…
    greece’s hospitality is beyond me…
    i have a secret plan.. they will be magnetic walls .. and sofas…
    and BURN meetings…give me a little time…
    im working on it…
    u r going to greece…( sooner than later…)

  • …and mythos and keftedes…

  • but, for now…
    cheap Charles Shaw chardonnay from the local Trader Joe’s…

  • I am so happy for DAH and everyone at Burn..i hope tonight is a resounding success..so many of us are there in spirit..no mas, just wanted to say HAVE FUN! And congrats´ to all who are showing their work tonight. What a unique honor to be part of the first Burn Loft show! HIP-HIP (oh yes, muy hip!) HURRAY!

    Bestest
    Kathleen

  • Kathleen,
    :)))))

    :)))))))))))
    big hug…
    kibbutz is the place to be today.. and i, just Kathleen missing.. the show…:(
    M*****effing mustang stupid iron horse….+@###$#@

  • Good luck on the show! Wish I could be there. Hoping to see some pics tomorrow!

  • Panos..i am so sorry you can´t be there..this must be killing you..i can´t even imagine how frustrated you are to be stranded on the left coast tonight. Besos..i understand!

    And yes, SELL THOSE PRINTS..failing that, discreetly pick the pockets of the attendees, and failing that, charge a toll to exit the place, and failing that, um, extortion might work..though take care not to try it on Letterman..he´s a little touchy about blackmail these days.

    SELL, DAMMIT!

    :))))

    :))))

    (my sympathies, Panos!)

  • yes Kathleen…
    frustrated it is.. the word..
    effing ford…

  • Either everyone is drunk by now or everyone is tucked up in bed. I hope it all went well.

  • Andrea,

    BED??? Are you kidding :)))
    Trust me, no one in NY will be sleeping tonight! :))

    ps Lets chat privately about travel plans.

  • like so many i wish i too could be in new york @ the burn gallery opening…

    and see all those prints!

    i’m sure it will be a great success, well done to all the photographers involved,

    enjoy!

    DAH – have you thought about some sort of Burn tour? as sean gallagher / david bowen suggested (i think).
    i know of a good gallery space in Perth… so many of us all over…

    have a great night everyone!!!

  • If I could be there I would, but I’m working in Sewanee TN. tonite.
