SPE and spring break

Went to the Society for Photographic Education (SPE) national conference in Atlanta this year. It was a great opportunity to see talks, panels, etc. To also get my new body of work reviewed. It was great to meet with people and have a dialogue about my work. Still have shooting to do and some things to tweak with the new project. But I am excited for a new body of work. I have lots of notes I need to spend some time reviewing and think about where I need to make more changes with this new body of work.

This week I have been in Southern California on break. Just decided to take advantage of another blog feature. I'm started an account with tumblr and I hope to post pictures everyday another way to keep me shooting. Now that I have an iPhone I am pushing how I can make images and use technology in another way.

More soon...

The Sketchbook Project 2011 tour

This year I participated in the Sketchbook Project through Art House co-op. I had the opportunity to choose a theme and then was sent a small moleskin sketchbook. My theme was Down Your Street, I used this as an opportunity to further explore my new home as I photographed new work focusing on the changes in the landscape from Boston to Denver.

Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums on a tour across the country. After the tour the sketchbooks will enter the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library. The tour began in February, 2011 above are some pictures taken by my Mom.

New Work coming together

So I have two pieces in a show this week. I have been working to edit and get my new body of work ready to bring to SPE. It's still a work in progress but it's exciting to have something new. I am working on updating my website and just getting things together which feels really good.
