BACK OF THE HOUSE Photo Show
MARCH 10th – APRIL 20th, 2006
at the FALL CAFÉ

Brooklyn-based photographer MICHAEL HARLAN TURKELL began his award winning "BACK OF THE HOUSE" series as a means of photographically assimilating into the human side of the culinary community. Working in kitchens while also pursuing his BFA in photography, Michael was moved to show an often-unseen version of the restaurant world.

His collection of black-and-white photographs study restaurants' often unrecognized subcultures. They present artistry, diligence, and precision, reveal internal issues among staff members, and display enduring camaraderie throughout the chaos. There is more presented on a plate than just food.

The Fall Cafe is located at 307 Smith Street in Brooklyn, NY. One block from the Carroll Stop on the F/G trains.
