Boston: photo show featuring Mark Pescovitz

Boston's GASP (Gallery Artists Studio Projects) is an experimental art gallery co-founded by María Magdalena Campos-Pons, an incredible Afro-Cuban artist whose rich work ranges from paintings to mixed media to large-scale Polaroid photography. Opening tomorrow, December 13, at GASP is an exhibition of self-taught emerging artists, including Consuelo Isaacson (who also curated the show), Michael Padnos, Alejandro Lazo, and my brother Mark Pescovitz. Besides being a fine art photographer, Mark moonlights as a transplant surgeon and professor of microbiology and immunology. As Isaacson says, Mark "travels extensively around the world for his medical practice. Along the way he takes pictures that capture the inner strength of the people that he meets, the beauty of the landscape that he encounters and the the essences of locality in the scenes he passes by." Above is Mark's "Blue Depth: Catedral de sal de Zipaquira," taken in Zipaquira, Colombia. Regarding Mystery and Beauty (GASP Gallery)

Are you sure this isn't a still from Tomb Raider?

Tetris Rocks are seen most frequently in that environment.

Ha! Does look Tomb Raider-esque.

Nice shot from a beautiful place. I really wish I could go to the show to see more like them.
