There seems to be a lot of news floating around the blogosphere about the Being True Show. Curated by Emma Reeves and Aaron Rose and being officially supported by Nike, the show features 22 photographers with a particular penchant and talent for capturing the essence and variety of today’s American Youth. Sometimes Joyful, often poignant, but always compelling the show features a single contribution from Tim Barber, Angela Boatwright, Kenneth Cappello, Poppy De Villeneuve, Cheryl Dunn, Naomi Harris, Alex Hoerner, Drew Jarrett, Alain Levitt, Jeaneen Lund, Ari Marcopoulos, Dan Murphy, Jason Nocito, Patrick O’Dell, Mike Piscitelli, David Ransone, Terry Richardson, Jamel Shabazz, David Perez Shadi, Brent Stewart, Ed Templeton, and Tobin Yelland. Anyhow, in addition to the all star cast being showcased in the Being True exhibit, there was also a pretty impressive turnout… Lance Armstrong, Haze, Kaws, Todd James (Reas), Carlo McCormick, Jamie O’Shea, Peter Sutherland, Dante Ross, Dan Funderburgh, were just a few amongst those that came out to the opening.
Anyhow, below are shots from the opening in Brooklyn at the Journal Gallery, but the Los Angeles leg of the tour is opening tonight. It was way too crowded to get shots of the work, so If you’re in the area of the next stop, definitely swing by and check it out first hand…
