EatBHM article: Pie Lab

>> Tuesday, December 7, 2010

In 2009, I participated in Project M, a workshop for designers wishing to ignite positive social change. We created a community event called Free Pie, which formed the basis for our follow-on project, PieLab. PieLab has been nominated for a James Beard award in restaurant design, named one of the top 10 pie places in the U.S. by Bon Appetit, and continues to serve up social change with a delicious slice of pie.

Somewhat of an urban legend, I figured if I teased enough of my friends with the notion, I could eventually convince one (or a dozen) to join me in the hour and a half excursion to Greensboro, Alabama. Everyone loves the idea of pie…committing to the journey is a different ballgame.

Jersey Journal: Adam Saynuk Micro Photography

>> Friday, November 5, 2010

In November 2010, I'm again taking part in the Hoboken Studio Tour. Some of the press and blog mentions I received from my participation last year (Tiny Lab art / Tiny Lab show) can be found here with other press articles. This year, I am hoping to offer visitors a different kind of interactivity with my macro/micro photography in a project called Mood Book. An online version of the Mood Book should make it's way to my website in the near future as well.

~Adam Saynuk

"Adam Saynuk is a photographer with big heart for the little things in life. His micro and macro photography presents everyday objects with a greater magnification to change the way we see them."

"'Mundane objects can be beautiful when viewed this way,' he said. 'We pass these things everyday but we never really look at them.'"

The Hoboken Reporter: Showcasing art in the Mile Square; Hoboken’s art tour celebrates 30 years

>> Sunday, October 24, 2010

... One artist who will display his work at one of the over 41 stops along the tour is Adam Saynuk, of Hoboken.

Saynuk is a photographer, but this year chose a creative way to display his work to the visitors.

“I took my photographs in a standard way,” Saynuk said “But this time I’m binding them into a giant book, which will be 5 feet wide when it opens. The intention is that when people come up, they touch the art, open and close the pages, and leaf through it.”

Saynuk said he specializes in “macro/micro photography.”

“I photograph things that are very tiny,” Saynuk said. “The incredible thing is that you get a new view of an object. If you blow something up, you see it in a much different way.”

NY Times: Pie + Design = Change

>> Sunday, October 10, 2010

In 2009, I participated in Project M, a workshop for designers wishing to ignite positive social change. We created a community event called Free Pie, which formed the basis for our follow-on project, PieLab. PieLab has been nominated for a James Beard award in restaurant design, named one of the top 10 pie places in the U.S., and continues to serve up social change with a delicious slice of pie.

~Adam Saynuk

ON A SUN-SPLASHED afternoon in August, blueberry pies and peach pies cooled on wire racks inside PieLab, a white brick cafe with floor-to-ceiling windows on Main Street in Greensboro, Ala. Behind a counter made of planks salvaged from abandoned sharecropper shacks, two young women slid pie tins into a double oven stack. At trestle tables, beneath industrial pendant lights, four young men, on lunch break from their G.E.D. classes, dug into slices of taco pie and made weekend plans.

Taco Truck's "Can You Guess It?" Microphoto Gallery

>> Thursday, July 8, 2010

In 2010, I was chosen to be the featured artist for the grand opening of the new Taco Truck store in Hoboken, NJ. I conceived and shot custom microphotos of their taco ingredients and the photos were used as part of the promotional campaign on Facebook ahead of the store launch. In addition, I setup MicroTaco, my online gallery of the full photo shoot.

Meet our featured artist, Adam Saynuk. Adam's microphotography highlights the many details of common objects which are easily overlooked, his large prints of tiny things inspiring viewers to a sense of wonder and discovery out of the mundane.

~Adam Saynuk

Freshly baked pies are signaling something sweet happening in this small town in Alabama’s soil-rich Black Belt region where jobs are drying up and storefronts shutting down. A group of young graphic designers set up the bakery, culinary school, and design studio on Main Street in a thrift shop storage site in the summer of 2009.
