El Fotografo’s Works in Noche de Arte Benefit Sale

Atlantic City, by Jorge Vera

El Fotografo’s photographs will be among the artworks for sale at Noche de Arte 2009, which opens tonight in San Isidro (BBVA – Banco Continental, Ave. Republica de Panama 3055), from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Proceeds from the three-day event benefit the Anne Sullivan Center, the Carrion Hospital Burn Unit and other institutions and charities.

Works on sale by El Fotografo (Jorge Vera) include “Atlantic City” (above), which is a very striking 100 cms by 100 cms, and “Sphere” (below), 70 cm x 70 cm. I think they are two of EF’s most beautiful works. “Sphere” was shot in our pool in Florida, by the way. EF nearly fell in waiting for the light to get just right.

Both images will be featured in an upcoming retrospective of EF’s photographs in St. Louis, in 2010.

Please come to the opening of Noche de Arte tonight and introduce yourself to me and EF,  if you see us there.

And consider buying a print. It’s for a good cause.

I am an American writer who lived in Lima for seven years (2007-2014), where I covered Andean traditions, melting glaciers and daily life in the capital for Miami Herald, MSNBC and Huffington Post. I now live and work in northern Florida where I champion climate change advocacy and compassionate, affordable eldercare.

    I love the photograph called “Sphere”! I would love to see more of your husband’s works. Maybe sometime when I am in Lima that will be possible. Hope things go very well for him at the art show.

    Thanks, Sonia. I’ll pass the message on to Jorge. He did sell “Atlantic City” — to the curator!

    He is working on lining up a show of these large-scale medium format photos for 2010 in Lima; they will be in a show in St. Louis in fall 2010.
