Gallery Ovo Exhibition of Heavy Like Rain by Michael David Adams

Heavy like rain & threshold…

two stunning series in one spectacular one man gallery show.

HEAVY LIKE RAIN + THRESHOLD

On Display at OVO Gallery was my Award winning series “Heavy Like Rain”. It was a wonderful experience to see this series in public view for a full month, along with selected oversized prints of my newest underwater series, “Threshold”.

In “Heavy Like Rain”, I wanted to create a visual that was not usually associated with being underwater, focusing on the starkness of a silhouette in empty space and the beauty of movement within the bubbles created by submersion.

My “Threshold” series is a nod to the imagery that I see every time I go underwater.. I see these visuals of dancing bubbles above me as I travel deeper, transforming into a creature that is not that same as I was when I was breathing air..

One Camera One Roll One Day – Double Exposure

ONE CAMERA, ONE ROLL, ONE DAY

At Rectangle Studio & Gallery.

When I was approached by Lee Seidenberg of Rectangle Studio with his concept for this show, and his request for me to be part of it, I immediately said yes..

It had been quite a while since I used a film camera, and I had never used the Pentax K-1000 that he had purchased just for this show.

The premise of this group show was to have a number of photographers, all with different styles, take this One Camera, the Pentax K-1000 with no bells or whistles of the modern age, along with One Roll of black and white film for One Day only and shoot what ever it is that we wanted to.

I immediately settled on the idea of attempting to shoot multiple exposures, photographing my daughter as my muse, set in the backdrop of Brooklyn, where she was born.

The results are more impressive and touching than I had anticipated.

“My BRooklyn Girl”

We were then given the task to choose only one of the images that we photographed to become the Key piece to our part of the exhibit.

I chose this shot, while there were a few that caught my eye, this photograph epitomized the goal I was trying to achieve, and this series will become part of my Story-Teller Collection.
