Christmas Season

Ok, it's December 22, 2012 the day after the world has ended (at least for the people who thrive on that sort of drama, what will they dream up next?) With all of the hustle and bustle of the Holidays I am pleased to be exhibiting at Grass Roots Enrichment and Wellness Center for Children and Families located at 400 E. Fifth St. Suite C Dayton, OH across from Thai 9. The opening will be during First Friday, January 4, 2013 from 5-8 PM. This is a "family friendly" venue and exhibit. Framed and matted prints will be available for sale, and hopefully my books will arrive on time.

In addition to preparing for this show, I am searching for images to submit to Krappy Kamera XV and Rayko's 6th Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show.

As we all have a lot going on this time of year, stop take a deep breath and be grateful. Peace to you all.

 On to more projects with 110 film cameras and flipped lens Brownies!

Ok, so it's been awhile.  I have been in the process of relocating and have put many things on hold.  Darkroom equipment is packed away.  Most cameras are packed away. Exposed film is packed away (and not lost, I hope) I'm trying to monitor competitions to enter, but they seem to slip by me.   There are a few that are on post it notes scattered about my world.  To feel like I'm getting something accomplished, I'm converting my collection of folding land cameras to use AAA batteries.  Not Holga work, but it's something.  I have been venturing into another lost format, 110.  Just what I need, another project format.

However, on a lighter note.  I have been featured in Blur Magazine's Issue #28 "Playstick" section.

Seasons Greetings to all!  Who knows when I'll post again or from where.

"Delicious" opening March 24, 2012 5-9 PM

Ok, so I've been a little slow posting information.  I have been working on some new images and getting submissions sent out.  But I am happy to be part of this tasty little event!  The exhibit will be at the RUA Gallery in Dayton, OH and sure to be a great show!  And I hear there will be some delicious treats as well, including my longtime favorite, Bill's Donuts!

Something new.

It's been awhile since I have posted anything.  I had a backlog of film to develop and finally got through that.  Scanned a few for some competitions, so I thought I would post something.  This was shot in October at Presque Isle on the Lake Erie shoreline.
