“Life is not a Fairytale… Things don’t magically fix themselves in this life, there is no poof its all good, you have to work for it and try to fix it or make it right, that’s part of life and part of being a human. Magic does happen and dreams do come true but not over night the journey is sometimes the best part of all of it! If you want something never be scared to go and get it, people will tell you that you cant do it and they will be the first ones to tell you they knew it all along when you do so stand up and take what you want…”
Life is Not A Fairytale opens tomorrow 8 pm. We can’t wait to see what Tyler has in store for us.

“Carsten Witte, born in 1964, is the venerable priest of beauty. Already as a little boy of three he slack-jadedly gazed after beauties that where passing by when he was walking at his mother’s hand. Many years later, after he had attended the Bielefeld school of photography, worked as assistant for renowned photographers and started his career as a freelancer with his own studio in 1989, he could finally dedicate himself exclusively to his perfect esthetics at taking shots of beautiful woman’s bodies, their eroticism and chasteness and the sensual play of shadow and light, whereas he has never betrayed the deference to the beautiful creature.”

“I am a 19 year old photographer living in Los Angeles, CA, though I frequently travel for my photo endeavors.
I primarily photograph people. When I’m not out taking pictures, I study at the University of Southern California.
All mediums of art interest me. The name Venaca comes from my musically influenced clothing company.
I always listen to music when I work.
Some of my favorite artists are Cinematic Sunrise, Waking Ashland, and Portugal. The Man. The Good Boys, The Naked and Famous, The Limousines, and Circa Survive.
I enjoy potatoes in any shape or form.”

“Zach was born and raised in Northern California with his younger brother, Adam, by his Mom Dad, Lynn and Alan. His childhood was full of love, life, and support from friends and family. Zach always wanted to be a spaceman, which may have developed as a testament to his father, but more likely to fulfill his wild imagination. At age seven he moved to Houston, Texas, and then relocated to Philadelphia at age 14.
He was always attracted to theater for the excitement and attention, and after graduating high-school in Pennsylvania he attended North Carolina School of the Arts for Conservatory Training in the Theater Arts. After two years Zach decided to leave school and pursue his ongoing passion for photography.”
