From Los Angeles to New York City and the landscapes in between, this exhibition (shot on used cameras and lenses) explores the intimate connection between people and the world we live in—how our current “take-make-waste” linear economy impacts that connection, and how nature can inspire us to shift towards circularity and live in a more conscious and sustainable way.
Three photographers, Tiffany S. Bell, Paul Seibert, and Ryan Shorosky, created distinctive work on used cameras and lenses provided by MPB. They brought to life the themes of connection and circularity while extending the creative life of used photo equipment—which is a key way to help make the field of photography more accessible and sustainable.

Paul Seibert
Paul Seibert has been a lifelong New York City metropolitan area resident (until recently), and has spent the better part of a decade exploring the city from every angle available. Over the last six years, he has taken to the skies to highlight the unique geographical attributes of the area, as well as the lesser seen architectural details of the most iconic buildings in the world.
His forthcoming publication with Rizzoli Books—”New York From The Air,” due to be released in March of 2022—will be the most up-to-date photo book publication of New York, including all the new dynamic additions to New York City’s skyline.
Seibert’s own creative growth through relationships in the community has instilled the importance of helping others grow through encouragement, education, and personal interaction.
