Captured with his top quality and ultra-fast lenses, these were among the most strikingly beautiful pieces, whether the subjects were seen serenely perched or in graceful flight. Extreme close-ups of insects shot in \u201cmacro\u201d mode were among the most fascinating.<a href=\"http:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/PHT01sml1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/PHT01sml1.jpg\" alt=\"PHT01sml\" width=\"520\" height=\"657\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/PHT01sml1.jpg 520w, https:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/PHT01sml1-237x300.jpg 237w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Landscapes and architectural icons that make up the collective unconscious of us who inhabit north Jersey were rendered monumental and mystical when treated with Myke\u2019s visionary style.<a href=\"http:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/PHT09sml1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/PHT09sml1.jpg\" alt=\"PHT09sml\" width=\"520\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/PHT09sml1.jpg 520w, https:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/PHT09sml1-183x300.jpg 183w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Practically everything shown at the exhibit was shot with Canon equipment, either a Rebel, a 7D or lately the 5D Mark III.

Besides film, Myke has worked in drawing, painting, sculpture, furniture and clothing design, installation, found-art assemblage. This background serves his efforts with a camera very well, having developed his eye for composition, detail and novelty. To no one\u2019s surprise, the enthusiastic crowd of attendees and collectors had Myke applying \u201csold\u201d stickers on his framed works nonstop for much of the evening.<a href=\"http:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131211_1927171.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131211_1927171.jpg\" alt=\"20131211_192717\" width=\"520\" height=\"511\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131211_1927171.jpg 520w, https:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131211_1927171-300x294.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131211_1926291.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131211_1926291.jpg\" alt=\"20131211_192629\" width=\"520\" height=\"446\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131211_1926291.jpg 520w, https:\/\/doktorjohn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131211_1926291-300x257.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myke Hideous Photography Exhibition Oakside Manor\/Cultural Center Belleville NJ Dec 11, 2013 by Doktor John Multi-media artist and renowned local figure, Myke Hideous hosted a wine and cheese opening of his photography exhibition at the beautiful and historic Oakeside Cultural Center in Bloomfield NJ for the month of December.
