MUSÉE 29 – EVOLUTION
Evolution explores the concepts of progress, transformation, growth, and advancement in an age when images are taking a dramatic shift in the role they play in our lives.
All in Moment
Photography has the ability to alter time— to freeze us in the ephemeral, urging us to ponder on this frame, ponder on the message
The perfect opportunity arose when I looked just outside my window on a hot summer day to see that the neighbors had opened the hydrant right in front of my building.
Much of my work is an exercise in ‘doing’ rather than ‘thinking’. Maybe it’s just ‘play’. Maybe that’s all photography really is.
Looking at an old photograph is like encountering the ghost of a memory. They represent memory, but they can also eclipse all that we remember.
As I ventured out to skateparks throughout the years I’ve lived in New York City, I began bringing my camera along with me to document the culture and growing number of female, trans and non-binary skaters I was beginning to see more of at the parks and on the streets.

Sometimes you have to work hard on a scene, that all things come together. It takes a bit of patience, work and thought to capture a moment in the best possible way.
I love that this photo feels that way and showcases such a tender, quiet moment of Xiao and Stephan’s relationship.
Wallace Stevens believed a poem “must resist the intelligence almost successfully,” a concept that I find applicable to this photo—a small handful of familiar elements, but each abstracted just enough to create a sense of mystery.
I grew up near this region and it's microclimate makes it a very unique place to explore during winter—I usually make it a goal to visit every year and I end up finding surprising scenes every time.
Although depicting no skateboarding at all, I feel this moment captures the essence of what skateboarding really is: tearing down boundaries.
The red light and the lonely man immediately caught my attention. And I thought it would be a nice street photography scene.
Andoni Beristain captures a beautiful and expressive moment dedicated to his mother.
Luckily having her camera with her, Mary Crkovic captures a moment that reminds her of how youth, and every moment, fade and quickly fly away.
The act of “people watching” is a sort of art for Daniel Hedquist. He captures a little boy jumping off the ledge with an umbrella.
