This week’s portrait was taken at tonights Salon: Strictly Local opening. This was an art opening at The Gallery at the Technology Garden in downtown Syracuse. Might I say this was a pretty awesome event! There were TONS of people there, tons of art and barely any off street parking. I circled the block and the nearby blocks in search of a nearby spot, seeing it was rainy out and I didn’t have my umbrella handy. I circled back around in front of the building and scored a spot RIGHT in front! woo. Along with amazing artwork, finger foods, some wine and Middle Ages beer, there sat Jared of One Hello World. Playing beautiful soundtracks on his Korg to voice recordings from anonymous callers who leave voicemails talking about being in love to being addicted to drugs and everything in between.
I had looked into One Hello World prior of coming to the opening thanks to the Facebook event invite listing everyone who would be there! I read up on the project and I guess an easy way of explaining One Hello World would be an audio version of Post Secret. I think it’s going to blow up, personally, and I’m excited to share his portrait and his work in this week’s 52Portraits!
