Need a little refresher on your darkroom skills? The perfect opportunity to refine and rediscover is coming up! I will be teaching two darkroom tutorials at Project Basho (the photo hot spot in Philly). The first is a B&W Film Processing session Saturday February, 25th. And just when you are ready to refine your printing skills (yes, it gets easier) I’ll be back for a B&W Darkroom Printing session on Saturday, March 24th. Oh yeah!
Mark your calendars! The next Pecha Kucha in mid-coast Maine is February 17 at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockport. I’ll be a presenter with glimpses of my new work!
Lots of fun with a great group of young artist’s. Tunnel books were all the rage!
What a great evening! Thanks to all the friends, families, and artists who came out to support these local high school students this past Friday as part of AIR. Their concepts and installations were as unique and amazing as each of them! I’m already missing you all! Thank you to the Farnsworth Art Museum for making this possible!

Please join us this Friday at the Farnsworth Art Museum’s Julia’s Gallery Open Studio event. Local high school photographers have been surveying and experimenting with the conceptual side of art.

Thanks to all of the friends and family who supported these young photographers in their efforts to enhance their digital photography skills.

Please join us this Friday at the Farnsworth Art Museum’s Julia’s Gallery Open Studio event. Young local photographers have come so far in the past few weeks- learning about the history of photography and contemporary artists, and learning how to make amazing digital photographs. They will be sharing their ideas, their images, and the space that we have been utilizing as our digital darkroom. We all know how busy summer can be, but these young artists showed that they have what it takes by committing their summer to making photographic images. I am so proud of each of them, and hope that you will join us in celebrating their success!
