In 2012 United Photo Industries commissioned Gardener André Feliciano to cultivate a Camera Greenhouse which captivated young and old and was a hit of PHOTOVILLE last year!
This year – we gave Andre an assignment: Impress us even more! And boy, has he!
Andre will cultivate Photography in a symbolic way: he will play Photographic Dodge with visitors and create a small Photographic Orchard with Cherry Blossom Trees smack bang in the middle of our village. Andre – Welcome back!
AND on the other side of the river — Andre will have his first solo New York Exhibition!
