"Yellow stockings, Brooklyn," Tim Connor, All rights reserved
I've signed a contract to do an Arts for Transit lightbox show in a tunnel below MTA's Atlantic Avenue station! The show will be 8 of my images from Brooklyn neighborhoods printed on duratrans film & mounted in 45" x 66" lightboxes. We've decided on the pictures but are still banging around names. Installation date is also still to be decided.
Wow. I'm not going to even mention Jeff Wall, but I have always loved lightboxes. I shot slides almost exclusively for years -- even though they had a much smaller exposure range than color neg -- just because I thought colored light through film was the prettiest thing on the planet. And I have never made a print anywhere near the size of these boxes!
For those of you who don't know, the B,D,M,N,Q,R,2,3,4 & 5 trains meet in the Atlantic Ave.-Pacific St. station & there is a major connection to the Long Island Rail Road. They tell me 10,000 people pass through this tunnel during rush hour; in a year 3 million come though.
More later, obviously. I finally believe this is actually going to happen, so I'm spilling the beans.

so, so well deserved
Way to go, T!
That is awesome, Tim, Congratulations!
Back lit displays are great, I have always loved slides and trans just as objects. Back in the day I worked at a lab that printed tons of big duratrans for tradeshows and airports. Printed a few for myself too, nothing like it. We also did Cibatrans too, wow, what rich color those had. I will have to seek yours out. Well done.
