Two Italian Rascals

Connecticut-based photographer Greg Miller brings his unique background and perspective to each photo he captures. Growing up, his mother’s innate charm taught him how to connect with anyone, a skill he carries into his photography practice. Greg’s work spans a wide array of American life, from the vibrant scenes at county fairs to the historic Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn, known for its iconic square pizza. His latest, more somber series, ‘Waiting for the Bus in Uvalde,’ reflects on the poignant moments of children waiting for school buses against the backdrop of America’s ongoing conversation about gun violence.

Coleman Jennings curates a unique collection of film slides he discovers in thrift shops, online auctions, and yard sales. He scans these slides, capturing images of people during family vacations, posing for their weddings, attending concerts, or riding horses.

We spoke with Coleman about his project, discussing how these slides are tangible memories of a bygone era, preserving the light and the moment of each captured photograph.
