Eduardo Colón

Brooklyn, United States

Eduardo Colón is a photographer/writer/electronic musician living and splitting time between New York’s Hudson Valley and Brooklyn. He began his work as a photographer in the mid 1980s by curating the work of major street artists in the New York City area. Later on, after enlisting in the US Navy, he went on to develop skills as a photojournalist during his many deployments overseas. He lost his film camera on his last deployment. He is a Persian Gulf War veteran. After leaving the military and returning to New York City in 1991 Eduardo began his work as a writer and electronic musician. During this period, he was active in New York City’s underground house music movement. Also, several of his poems were published in small literary journals. In 2000, a long poem of his was adapted for performance at the Nantucket Short Play Festival. In 1995, he placed all of these activities on pause and focused on developing career in technology consulting. He retired after 9/11. Since then, he has returned to photography and has honed his skills to capture images that frame people against wide open spaces; it reflects his appreciation for emptiness and how it manifest in nature and around others in an urban environment. This approach has taken him to the American southwest where he lived for a number of months before returning to New York City. Eduardo continues to travel. His current plans include a return to the American southwest where he plans to photograph the night sky in places like Monument Valley in Utah and near the Very Large Array in New Mexico. Also, he’s at work on a novel. Finally, he produces a monthly deep house music podcast under the name Karma of Dove, made available through Stitcher and iTunes and is a frequent guest DJ for DJ BenG’s shows on NCB and SoundFusion Radio, based in the United Kingdom.
