Beauty in Black and White
By Jillian Mills
The face of South Florida is constantly changing…so fast in fact, that we wish we had an entire issue to dedicate to the plethora of new condos, design stores and restaurants popping up all over its landscape. While many impulsive developers and store owners seem to frequently swing and miss with these fledging ventures, we decided to dedicate a special section to those who didn’t – the newcomers who managed to hit a home run this time around.
Beauty in Black and White
Although the Michael Joseph Artists’ haven Gallery
on Oakland Park Blvd is not new – it opened in
that location in November of 2006 – it is definitely
a place worth visiting again and again. The sleek gallery
abounds with black and white photos cityscapes, abstracts
and scenic photography taken by Joseph himself. “My
signature style is that I make ordinary things extraordinary.
That is what has really given me my name,” Joseph
said. This certainly rings true in his newest exhibition,
a retrospective of everything Joseph has seen over the
last 12 years in such cities as New York, Chicago, Los
Angeles, Mexico City, and Paris.
