A
Day in the Life
The 305 filtered through the lens, 24/7/365.
by Carlos Suarez de Jesus
Don’t confuse Alissa Christine’s photographic
diary of the Magic City with an obsession to record the inexorable
tick of time passing. Since January, Christine has been capturing
everyday moments as part of a yearlong project to distill
the spirit of Miami on a particular day. “It’s
not really about time,” Christine says of her project.
“It’s more about the present moment and reaffirming
that life is timeless.” At 7 p.m., the Butter Gallery
unveils “I Love Miami 365,” featuring 167 multiformat
prints representing the halfway mark of the shutterbug’s
perspective on the pulse of the 305.
Some of the snaps depict typical ocean views, but her “random
stringing of events” exude anything but a tour guide’s
vibe. Christine has shot pictures during a supermarket run
or while flying in a Cessna — all in order to reveal
our city from a different point of view. “I paint with
light when I take pictures, and paint pictures with color
with a computer,” the artist reflect

4th South Beach Photomarathon Competition!

The topics, Green, Wild, Refreshing, Hot, Style and Only on
South Beach, were kept secret until the event day and were

Christine loves Miami (every day)
By Jessica Sick
It's hard to love Miami 365 days a year. Hell, it's hard to
love it for more than ten minutes (the glow usually dimmed
by having to park on South Beach or visiting Dolphin Mall).
Alissa Christine has managed to find a way to ignore that
cloud of negativity that seems to loom despite our freakishly
plentiful sunshine, and instead pay attention to the city's
beauty -- at least through her camera lens.
In response to a show she was to be part of in New York City,
the local photographer decided to feature one picture every
day for a month. When she returned home, the light bulb went
off and ilovemiami365 was born. Starting on January 1, 2008,
she would choose one photo, once a day, for an entire year,
each month holding a show to display that month's photos.
With two months under her belt, Christine hasn't cheated yet
(meaning taking photos in advance) -- managing to capture
an image daily by midnight. Well, almost.
"There have been times when I've been out and I get a
great photo at 1 or 2 a.m. -- sometimes Saturday morning as
just an extension of Friday night. Then again," she adds,
"it's fair game for next day's photo, too." After
all, some days are more inspiring than others, she admits.
(We're guessing those are the days that involve parking on
South Beach.)

Each week we'll feature a new image.

...your work in general
is outstanding and your conception of the 365 ... is truly creative.
All types of art interest me, but photography is so special
in that everyone has it inside of them, but few figure out how
to let it out. You got it going good. Keep it up

Ilovemiami365 is an awesome idea. 1 day at a time is
not just a life motto but it also beautifully illustrates the
colorful picturescape of the city.

Ali, You are right on the money. THIS is exactly what ART is
all about in today's world: Self promotion = art concept that
makes the artist money to survive. We cannot rely on anyone
except ourselves. This is a very very good idea/concept that
is packaged perfectly.
- So in participation with my MASSIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL Id like
to either showcase your ilovemiami for the month of MARCH
or some sort of other ilovemiami. You could take this concept
in so many directions. It is very exciting. I just love every
part about this. "Local Diva." "Celebration of
Miami."
Congrats and lets catch up soon!
