You draw, you build, you design…and 3rd Ward knows you also EAT! This Sun, July 18, 3rd Ward wants you to PIG OUT at their beloved 195 Morgan location, 2 to 9pm.

Chef Alex McCrery of Goods is making this year’s porky goodness better than ever. They’ve got two Hampshire-breed pigs from The Meat Hook brining as they speak. “We’ll spit-roast them in our courtyard for 21 hours, and serve them up in three different mouth-watering dishes: a pulled pork sandwich with slaw, pork gumbo, and a pork belly salad. We’ll also be serving up beer and bike-blended cocktails from the Band of Bicycles.” Everything’s $6 or less!

Plus, dance into the night with live performances from The Fieros, Le Mood, In Cadeo, The Ramblers, Cletus & the Barnburners, DJ Drew Heffron, and DJ Matt Taplinger. Their education department will also be on hand with interactive demos in woodworking, photography, and—yes—even urban chicken-rearing.

The concept of disposable things (unless it’s plastic plates and cutlery) is lost on me. Recycling and reusing have become everyday commodities, and that even applies to our technology. We want something dependable that we can use again and again, even if it costs us a little bit more.  The proliferation of inexpensive and hi-tech cameras out there has meant that everyone has forgotten about their disposable cousin and it has also paved the way for an influx of amateur photographers, so when I heard that six photographers were involved in a project using disposable cameras, I was interested to see what they were doing.

One Time Use now showing at K&K Gallery on Broadway in Williamsburg, brings the act of photography back to its roots, by scaling back from modern cameras that for all intents and purposes, take themselves; they leave the image, its focus behind and evidently brings it to the foreground.

The disposable cameras used in the project where all medium exposure, low-resolution and especially un-technical with the photos developed containing grain, haze and distortion.
