Going Uptown by Mira Gandy

Spirit of Community features specially commissioned works chronicling the sights, sounds, colors, textures, cadences, and people of Harlem. Contemporary artists, living and working in Harlem, lend their imagination and innovation to capture the pulse and rhythm that have kept Harlem vibrant and thriving. Their work honors the memories and experiences of Harlem's residents, celebrates a neighborhood's storied past and promising future, and reveals the architecture of a place that continues to transcend, evolve, and reinvent itself.

"The Occupation Is Us"

2011-10-17T15:21:00.000-04:00

What if…

The Occupation Is Us?

On September 17th, 2011, a group of 40 people moved into Zuccotti Park in the heart of Manhattan’s financial district. Their goal seemed as naïve as it was grandiose: Occupy Wall Street on behalf of the 99% of Americans who were getting shafted by a system that favored the other 1%. Now in its 4th week, what began as a festive primal scream has morphed into a nation-wide franchise with protests in over 100 American cities, attracting a wide range of disparate voices who share the frustrations of soaring unemployment, further job cuts, and moribund politicians unresponsive to their plight. Like all New Yorkers pre-occupied with their own frenetic lives, we paid little attention until protesters were pepper-sprayed and arrested while marching across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Politicians and media pundits began to weigh in. Rush Limbaugh and Fox News painted them as a bunch of spoiled kids playing hooky from college. On the other end of the ideological spectrum, National Public Radio exposed the potential for escalating violence between the cops and a rowdy fringe. Mayor Bloomberg said the protesters had a right to be there as long as they didn’t break any laws, and assured us that the cold of the coming winter would make them go away. But who were these people? Official public opinion has generally painted the protesters as a marginal bunch of faceless nameless youngsters disconnected from the harsh realities facing the country. After a rally in support of Occupy Wall Street brought out thousands of teachers, transit workers, teamsters, service employees, health workers – the most powerful unions in the city – we decided to find out for ourselves. We remarked an impressive mix of people of different ages and races; we witnessed an impromptu committee meeting on a sidewalk, as well as polite cooperative exchanges between police and protesters.

On Day 21 we transplanted our photography studio from Chelsea to the middle of Zuccotti Park and began to make portraits of the people who were there. We met nurses, bankers, school superintendents, celebrities, lawyers, students, teachers, engineers and construction workers, employed or not. They came from everywhere: from California and Chicago and Minnesota and Seattle and Oregon and Cleveland and Texas, and beyond from places like Denmark and Brazil and Italy and Australia. Many were local. Some had arrived a few hours before; some had spent an overnight, others had been there four or five; a few since Day 1, 2 or 3. Some came for one day and decided to stay. Many said they were representing friends and colleagues back home who couldn’t be there. In a sea of optimistic faces sharing these precious moments of solidarity, we were approached by the quietest angry man in the crowd. Dressed in a black collar-down shirt and tailored slacks, grey hair neatly combed back, he came over when he noticed us photographing Russell Simmons. They shook hands as if they’d met before. No, he did not want to be photographed or give his name. He was a high-level music executive, caring for his 90 year-old mother and putting two daughters through college, he couldn’t risk losing his job. The movement needed a set of demands, he insisted, it needed to name the culprits and hold them publicly accountable. He may be right, but in the meantime Occupy Wall Street is encouraging thousands of Americans to dream, imagine and hope once again, and ultimately to remind us this is how America was born.

Sean Gilligan PDN Faces Contest Winner!

2011-07-08T14:35:00.008-04:00

PDN Contest Winning Images

I'm writing to share the exciting news that I am one of the winners of the PDN (Photo District News) 2011 Faces Contest. Two of of my portraits are featured on page 54 of the 2011 August issue.

This is the fourth annual PDN Faces Contest, and I chose to enter this year because I felt it was the perfect place to showcase work of some of my current projects. The first is a project about New York Artists. The second, is a book I am currently producing and shooting, about life, art, business and community in Harlem, New York.

The portraits featured in PDN are a sampling of a much larger body of work. The first image, of Floyd Brian Davis, is part of my Harlem Book Project, which will be on-shelves soon, where I am photographing musicians, activists, politicians, business-owners and artists who are active contributing members of the Harlem community. The second image is of an ongoing artist portrait series, which is currently focused on New York artists, but will soon be international. My intention in photographing artists is that through understanding and learning about them, I would foster collaborations between my own work and methodology and theirs.

I wish to thank PDN for recognizing my work. Please visit my website http://www.seangilligan.com/ to view more portraits of both series.

Here is the official announcement by PDN of the winners for each category. http://www.facesphotocontest.com/

The Sublime Miss Kosi

The Sublime Miss Kosi: "I first met Kosi at an open mic at Paris Blues. I was taking pictures of the Les Goodson Quartet for Paula to send out to the Harlem Blogs. I asked Kosi if I could take a picture of her and she asked me "What's it for? I told here that I was an admirer of feminine beauty. She laughed and permission was granted.

Later when I heard her sing I was impressed not only by the quality of her voice but also by the intelligence she brought to the lyrics. I asked her if she wanted to do a duet of a new piece I was introducing called "Love". It went well and we have slowly incorporated her into The Goddess Lakshmi.

"What's a band with no chicks in it doing called The Goddess Lakshmi anyways?" she recently stated to me.

I felt odd introducing her as just "Kosi" so I invented The Sublime Miss Kosi. It was a play on Lady Day and The Divine Miss M. Then Les picked it up and began using it too. The other night Paula told me she wanted to make T-shirts with The Sublime Miss Kosi on it. So it appears to be sticking."

2011-02-16T16:20:00.001-05:00

As an outsider it can be very hard to gain access. The images above & below are great examples of earning acceptance and trust thus being allowed to partake in these moments. Wether its in studio or on location the most important aspect of my process is establishing a connection with the person or place. Without that connection there is no bond or trust, which in my opinion reveals nothing about the subject or the photographer. The reveal is everything!

"In my experience, Morocco is one of the most difficult places for people photography. One not only needs the technical skills of photographing quickly and unobtrusively, but also have an enormous reservoir of patience. I think that Sean Gilligan managed to pull it very well with his gallery titled God, King & Country . The title is from the 3rd image of the gallery which shows a mound of dark sand in which the words God, King, Country are inscribed in white."

Fortunately he agreed to let me photograph him in the studio. Here are 2 samples of the images we shot. Mixael piqued my imagination and inspires thoughts of times past, particularly Paris in the early 1900's. Who's says you cant time travel?

Author George Dawes Green Photographed in his New York apartment.

2009-07-10T15:02:00.014-04:00

I recently had the privilege to meet and photograph acclaimed author and southern gentleman George Dawes Green, for an article publicizing the release of his new book RAVENS. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

George Dawes Green is a charismatic individual, highly acclaimed novelist, poet and founder of The Moth, a non-for-profit storytelling organization, which has always and continues to draw listeners like moths to a flame. With no advertising, through sheer word of mouth, every show to date has soldout in 48 hours or less. Stories, either verbally or written, are one of the ways George has shared his southern roots, upbringing and traditions with New York City and beyond. George is truly a bridge, who not only divides his time between New York and Georgia, but contributes vastly to each setting.

I met him in his east village apartment, which was full of antiques, books and all of the items which appear in the photographs. George's apartment revealed his savoring and appreciation of artful living and I found that photographing him in this setting was a perfect window into this gifted narrator. His intelligence and wit were evident, yet not flaunted. He was warm, easy to work with and had a certain ease about him, combined with contagious enthusiasiam for The Moth, for reading, for people, and for life.

As I mentioned in a previous post I am chin deep in the process of updating my portfolios. I recently started using the Epson 3800 printer for my prints. The quality of prints the 3800 produces is blowing my mind. Every photographer can relate to the frustrations of profiling our printers for optimum results. The real reason for this post is not so much to update everyone on my printing progress as it is to share a great source for profiling help. Everything you wanted to know about printing with the epson 3800.

Dozens of flights, thousands of miles traveled, six major moves, an engagement to be married, a new studio, over 30,000 images edited, and I'm back on the grid!

Below is an image exerpt from one stage of my editing process. The final stage is most enjoyable as I decide the final narrative that my images will convey. Getting the images out of the computer and into tangible prints is the way that I still prefer for layout organization. As much as technology is a tool and ally, in certain situations, l still stick with older methods of design strategy.
I am well adjusting to my new studio and will keep you posted of my new portrait project as it develops.

Pat O'Leary (Ireland, County Kerry)

2009-01-20T00:02:00.017-05:00

Pat O'Leary is a hard working farmer in County Kerry, Ireland. I wandered onto his land being lost, and asking directions to an ancient stone circle that was in a nearby field. He was warm, friendly, funny and happy to talk at length-- both sharing with me about his life and asking me about my own. P at had travelled all over the world, had worked in London for 20+ years, but in his old age chose to return home to Ireland. He spoke at length about how many Irish had migrated to the U.S. and had huge open arms to welcome any back to the land of their ancestors search of family roots. Pat's humbleness, worldly sophistication, huge heart, weathered face and hands made his life story appear before my eyes and I often wonder how his cows are doing and if he got around to fixing the things he talked about-- like his barn that had seen better days......

Moroccan Sheep Herder

2009-01-19T23:54:00.005-05:00

There are countless sheep herders in Morocco. I didn't get this man's name because he didn't speak English. Our interaction was translated by my driver as we drove from North Morocco to the south. This gentleman was happy to be photographed and was a natural in front of the camera. His son however did share the older man's receptiveness. The mans son, who obviously was following in the family business of sheep, was very vocal in expressing his views that I NOT photograph his father. I kept checking back in my with translator (my driver) who encouraged me to ignore the rants of the son and that the old man happily consented to my request to photograph him. When we got back on the road and I inquired of my driver what the resistance from the son was about, and all he would say was that the young son was very superstitious. I still wonder what that meant...

Atlas Mountains, Morocco: Pick Up Soccer Game

2009-01-15T11:20:00.007-05:00

We were enroute from Fes to the Sahara, yet stopped along this desolate road so I could photograph this group of "kids" playing football. Walking the 1000 feet to them was a taste of how fierce and tough this group was. They greeting me by throwing rocks and trying to scare me away with taunts and yells.

These two shots capture the attitude and aggression of these youngsters, who were aged far beyond their actual years. As I approached, some of them accepted me and acted as peacemakers with the rest of the group. Showing them my camera was a big hit which turned the tide in my favor. This image shows a pile on, with me underneath 15+ kids, as I showed them the digital image of themselves that I had just taken. From their reaction, it seemed that they were not at all familiar with such technology.
Here is a shot of them, post pile on, mimicking my actions, still fascinated with the digital camera and with my interest in their activities.

2009-01-15T11:12:00.006-05:00

This was taken from the roof of my hotel in Fes, Morocco. The streets are as narrow as alleys, and the roof was only about 5 stories high. I was located on the outskirts of the medina (the old city) which is an ancient labyrinthian marketplace.
