Ralph Stout's Home Town

Photographer Ralph Stout has just released a beautiful 20 piece portfolio on Hudson, New York....



His opening page reads:

These slightly off-kilter cityscapes, taken in the back streets and alleyways of my newly adopted home town of Hudson, New York between 2005 and 2008, reflect some of the most unusual architectural features and jarring contrasts that Hudson has in abundance. Hudson strikes me as a cross between a Grandma Moses painting and a tableau from the brush of a Joan Sloan or a George Luks. The main drag, lined with freshly renovated vintage buildings, is postcard material. The back streets reflect decades of neglect. I was drawn at once to the gray area that lies between prosperous Warren Street and neighboring Diamond (now Columbia) Street, which in years past housed the speakeasies and bordellos that kept this place going.

I did not set out to depict the remarkable Hudson renaissance, or indeed, its persistent squalor – I am an abstractionist at heart. Still, despite earnest attempts to distance these images from their referents, I appear to have done quite the opposite. Photography is full of surprises, almost all of them unpleasant, but in the present case, things worked out very well. I give the town of Hudson credit for that. There is something about its character that shines through no matter how you look at it.

Three Columns by Ralph Stout

Equus opens Jan 24th

Through the ages, the Horse has remained inseparable from man as a symbolic element of the sublime within the spirit of humanity. As representations of strength, devotion, wisdom, divination and freedom, the equine form projects not its own beauty; it reflects instead the beauty – or horror – of man’s unconscious power. Equus, opening January 22, 2009, at Carrie Haddad Photographs in Hudson, New York, spotlights the multi-layered relationship between people and horses. The exhibit will include the work of local and international photographers Tim Flach, David Seiler, Ida Weygandt, Juliet Harrison, Paul Solberg and Christopher Makos.

Hope to see you on the 24th!
