Working together to increase
fi lm, television and commercial
production awareness and
professionalism in the New
York area, the New York
Production Alliance (NYPA
.org) has joined LMGI, and
LMGI has joined NYPA, reaping
mutual benefi ts.
NYPA has a diverse
membership representing a
coalition of labor, industry
members and vendors. NYPA
is an infl uential advocacy
group working tirelessly on
vital issues such as the NY
State Film Production Credit.
NYPA has been in the forefront
to expand programs that create
tens of thousands of jobs for
New Yorkers. The LMGI has
joined NYPA as a nonprofi t
business member. This joint
membership will benefi t both
groups.
NYPA is a resource for
industry information related to
economic studies, legislative
advocacy, mentorship and
educational outreach.
LMGI Board members Les

Compelling
Photography:
'Naked
Triangles'
by Les Fincher
LMGI industry partner and
former location manager,
photographer Mark Indig,
unveiled new images in his
current photography show,
"Naked Triangles." The most
reliable shapes in architecture,
triangles predate other
construction shapes, including
the dome, arch, cylinder and
even the wheel. Stripped of
context, they are delicate
sculptures of ethereal beauty,
grace and utility.
Indig reduces his subjects to
lines and shapes resulting
in powerful geometric
patterns. His ability to distill
chaotic subject matter into
simple-yet-strong images is
something he developed in his
early location scouting career.
Mark has taken this process of
simplifying visual chaos, and
raised it to an art form.
The show runs through
March 20 at Gallery 825/The
Los Angeles Art Association,
825 N. La Cienega Blvd.,
Los Angeles
