Venice – known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, ”Serenissima”, “The City of Light”, and considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world, will be a home to my photographs this August and September. During this years Venice Film Festival, I have been asked to exhibit my work in an old monastery turned into the 5 star Palladio Hotel and Spa (http://www.palladiohotelspa.com) The location is breathtaking, and I love the thought of my work being in an old monastery. Considering one of series they have requested from me is called the “Dante’s Inferno – The 5 Rivers of Hades” its just perfect.
We at the beginning stages of preparation, so here comes all the fun stuff. They are thinking of calling it “Walking in Beauty”: Photographs of Carrie Schechter. This is a different style of interior for one of my exhibitions – so a new framing style, more photos and even larger prints are in the works.
The Palladio Hotel & Spa is located on the Giudecca island facing St. Mark’s Square, easily accessible by the Vaporetto at Piazzale Roma.

This week I’m casting for 3 Book Covers for the Vampire Diaries series for HarperCollins Publishers. Also, for HarperCollins — The Awakening (second in the series: Darkest Powers) will be shot as well, already cast.
I shot The Summoning (Darkest Powers Book One) for New York Times Best Selling Author Kelley Armstrong, scheduled for release in July. Looks to be another success for Ms Armstrong, HarperCollins has told me it is becoming the most anticipated teen book to come out for them this year. The cover will run here and Canada – with an illustration version in Europe.

Daryl Palumbo frontman for Glassjaw, Head Automatica & House of Blow joins forces with Nick Hook from Men, Women and Children and DJ KrazyGlue the Cardboard City Party Activist, to start another new project called SPORTS. Three dj’s with a mission of bringing you “selections of breakbeats, freestyle, electro, ghettotech and funky house/disco”.
Is there anything these boys can’t do?
In a few days I’ll have all 3 of them together, in the same city at the same time to do a one page feature in the August Issue of Alternative Press Magazine. They have been in the studio recording and are about to release their second album to the masses.

Check the July 2008 issue of Alternative Press Magazine for my shots of actress Zoe Kazan. She’s in upcoming movies August with Josh Hartnett, and Revolutionary Road with Leonardo DiCaprio.
Zoe comes for a prestigious line of creative talent. Grandfather Elia Kazan, known for directing Street Car Named Desire, Gentleman’s Agreement & On the Water to name a few, Zoe’s mother is writer, producer Robin Swicord (screenplay/Memoirs of a Geisha), and father, writer, producer, director Nicholas Kazan (screenplay Homegrown).
Zoe is sassy and intelligent and was a pleasure to shoot. Her talents, her independence and her strength of spirit are going to be great support to her during her amazing ride into Hollywoods legends.
I will be able to release the pics June 25th….
