Yoonkyung Lee, Justin Jenkins, Chris Lombardi, Nicolette Spear, Andre Taylor, Vladimir Kushnir, Jason Kelly, Chet Loggins, and Sabina Timco.

Snap to Grid opening at Los Angeles Center for Digital Art

In a show with this many pieces in it, I got a little lost trying to track mine down. Still it's a great opportunity to educate the public about the amazing diversity of photography that is being produced today, and I'm happy to have a chance to get some exposure and be involved. 

Rex Bruce, gallery director, shot a bunch of pictures of the opening for the show that are available in a slideshow format.

Announcing the launch of ONeal Urban

Today, ONeal Urban is open for business. My clothing line is a natural extension of my photographic journey into the urban landscape. Each unique design was originally taken "off the wall." Some designs are my own, while some simply inspire me to share them with the world. We are starting with just two designs with more soon to follow. 

Currently, my clothing line is hosted at CafePress until it makes economic sense to take it in house. Hopefully, I'll be able to do that sooner rather than later. Thanks for checking it out!

Work selected for "Inner Noise" Exhibition at the Caladan Gallery

Images copyright 2008 Byron O'Neal

I am very pleased to learn this morning that three of my images will be a part of the Inner Noise exhibition with the Caladan Gallery based out of Cambridge, MA. This juried exhibition will be posted online on October 15th and will run through November 14th.

From the gallery:

The work chosen for this exhibition epitomizes the array of inner experiences of the mind, and tends to reflect and create a very tangible response.  Very often it is easy to draw a relationship between these occurrences and to set up a visual map, whether we are aware of this action or not.  Whether it be the connection between the experience and emotion, or a lucid dream state, the cacophony of illusion and visual panorama is a constant source. 

This experimental work was created with graffiti and long shutter speeds. I held the camera and rotated it over a thirty second time period, in some cases incorporating local light sources into part of the shutter time. The banding in Approaching Pinnacle was created from long fluorescent tubes in a library above the graffiti. Special thanks goes to my longtime friend Dave for putting up with me through this afternoon/evening of shooting.
