Valentines Show at Joe’s Coffee Bar

February 3, 2006 by Ed Snyder

HeartRide My photography isn’t necessarily what one would call romantic, so it was with some trepidation that I agreed to enter some work in the February (Valentine’s) Show. Cupid and Psyche is not the Antonio Canova plaster sculpture from 1793, but a marble reproduction marking a grave at the entrance to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, CA. In my opinion, the crass repro is a more lovely work than the dingy original at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

HeartRide HeartRide is a recent digital print of something I shot back when the earth’s crust was still cooling, probably on high-speed Ektachrome at a carnival. Nothing compares with slide film for zero exposure latitude!

HeartRide NYHearts is a storefront I shot in New York’s East Village in December 2005. I had the digital SLR and shot at 1600 ISO. Then, I Photoshopped the living hell out of it to make it warm and fuzzy!

Come see these and other work put up by members of the Philadelphia Photographic Society!

  • The Winter of Our Discontent (Shakespeare, not Steinbeck) February 28, 2021
    My artistic experiences this winter (it is still technically winter here in Philadelphia – Feb. 2021 as I write this) have not been one of discontent. Rather, reckless winter has allowed me the opportunity to photograph cemeteries and their statues under a blanket of snow. Standing in a blizzard with an umbrella and camera may […]
