George Romanation visits February 20, 2006
George is a photographer and a great guy! I met him today finally. We’ve been exchanging emails (and playing phone tag) now for around maybe 6 weeks, on and off (busy schedules for the both of us), and he swung by Flux Factory today for us to meet, talk, and for me to purchase a piece of his which I’m also looking to include in the inaugural Normal Space exhibition.
George lives nearby in Woodside, so it was just a short skip for him from home to Flux. He mentioned he works in the travel industry which allows him the opportunities sometimes to go to places he wouldn’t be able to get to otherwise (he does live in QUEENS after all!) and to take photos on his journeys.
The piece I bought from George is a black and white RC print, 5×7 inches, and is an inscription from a wall in Russia (Moscow, Petrograd? can you remind me George!) which has an excerpt from the defunct Soviet Constitution which translates to “All Power in the USSR belongs to the People” – of course the original text is in cyrillic.
This photo is only the second wet-based photograph in my collection, and will be an excellent piece to exhibit at Normal Space. The exact piece I bought can be found on George’s new website. Click through his links to explore more of his work.
