And, yes, bear with me as I learn to properly site images!

Long Overdue Update

Yes, yes I have not updated here in quite awhile. Bullocks.

Anyway, I have the canvas project deadline coming up…still fleshing out the details on that. Will post when production begins.

Making some intial plans for the Noir shoot. That is going to be fairly intense.

Welcomed home a used (but brand new to me!) Omega enlarger. I’m so excited. Will certainly be doing some experimentation with that!

Don’t Forget!

This is the last week for the Momentum Show at the Art Object Gallery in Japantown in San Jose.

Friday, February 27th brings us the second Artist’s Panel as well as the Closing Reception.

The Artist’s Panel will be held from 6pm until 8pm and will feature Q&A with 4 artists from the show (including myself).

The Closing Recption will run from 5pm until 9pm and will feature Ken Matsumoto’s Tacomoto Taco Bar.

See you there!

Grant Interest

There is an interesting grant to which I am thinking about applying. I just came across it this morning during my surfing of the internet. I’ll post when/if I decide to apply.

I have a weekend shoot coming up in November…a shoot per day (different models each day). I’m extremely excited and will post about this soon. I have to further think on what camera I will use.
