Art festival news...

Catching up... here's a photo of my booth at last fall's ART FAIR IN YELLOW SPRINGS. What a great first experience doing a festival. A big thank you to everyone who helped in one way or another: John & the kids, Vicki & Tom, and Lisa & Clay for all their help with building, lending me tools & trucks, and setting up & taking down... to Lisa Goldberg for putting together a great event... and especially to all the folks who stopped by to visit. It was wonderful to see old friends, make new ones, and be inspired by the work of other exhibiting artists. Hopefully I'll be able to set up shop again this year.

This spring's news is that I was accepted into the big COLUMBUS ARTS FESTIVAL!! Very excited about this. I'll be at the riverfront in booth 80R from June 7 through the 9th. More details to come.

Indie Photobook Library.

I'm excited to announce the addition of my zine to the archives of the INDIE PHOTOBOOK LIBRARY! Founded by Larissa Leclair in 2010, the iPL is an archive of self-published and indie published photobooks. The iPL "promotes and showcases the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to this contemporary movement in publishing allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted years, decades, and centuries to come." It is an honor to be part of such an amazing project.

Mara.

I don't photograph senior portraits very often, but I wish I did... this was so fun. I spent a wonderful afternoon in South Charleston farm country with Mara, an accomplished pianist, tennis player, and 4-H Grand Champion at this year's Clark County fair. I loved all the animals following us around on the shoot!
