Spice Kitchen+Bar

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

My good friends at Spice of Life Catering Company have opened up a restaurant on Cleveland’s West Side.  You’ll find it right on the corner of Detroit and W 58th Street.   Not only will you find great food and a nice atmosphere, but you also find six huge prints from Left of Center Photography hanging on the walls!

Toward the end of last summer, while I was eating under the trees at Holden Arboretum with Chef Ben and his wife Jackie, they mentioned  that in their search for a new kitchen, they found a whole restaurant.   I asked if they were going to need any art to decorate the place but at that point they weren’t exactly sure since it was all so new.  Fast forward to late this winter and I get a call from Jackie asking if I had anything they could use.  She described the style they had in mind and my heart sank.  I knew I just didn’t have it in my portfolio.  The best way to describe it would be a late fall/early winter harvest type of imagery.  And with Cleveland not exactly having a typical snowy winter I didn’t see much opportunity to go out and capture some pictures that would fit the need.

Then, just two days before Christmas it snowed.  I also just happened to find myself out in eastern Ohio farm country.  Luck was on my side.  A few hours in the car and I had what I hoped they were looking for and it turns out that I did.

Exposure Cleveland

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

Last night was the third annual Exposure Cleveland Group Gallery Show opening. If you weren’t able to make it down then you should be ashamed of yourself! ;) But never fear, it’s up for three more weeks at Mastroianni Arts Gallery.

It was a great time and hung out with folks that have become good friends over the past few years. I give Jim props for keeping it going. Looking back, three years ago at the first anniversary show was the first time I had publicly displayed any of my photography. Since then I’ve gone on to show at three other galleries all on my own and start up this little place here – Left of Center Photography.

A lot of my growth behind the lens can be traced right back to the great group of photographers that make up Exposure Cleveland.

Thanks Guys and Gals!

Here’s just a few of the great faces from the group…
