Art Shop 2007!

I'm participating in Art Shop 2007 this year. If you're free, you should definitely come check it out. There are going to be over 75 local artists selling their works and wares. I'm going to be selling photographs, along with photo albums and hand bound journals. Get all your holiday shopping done here!

Furniture by Tennyson

These are pieces of funiture designed by my friend Tennyson Tippy. I shot slides of her work yesterday and was very impressed by her craftsmanship. Great art deserves great recognition. Good work Tennyson!

philadelphia pt.5: North Philly playgrounds

I dont see many children around north philly. I see them, yes, sometimes sitting on front steps of houses or two kids might be playing basketball... but they're not really out-and-about. Maybe it has something to do with the dangers of our city, the callousness of hearts, the ever-growing murder rate. These kids aren't living with the same carefree spirit as I did growing up. These desolate playgrounds are my tribute to them. They're everywhere around the city. Mostly covered in grafitti, or scattered with trash. This particular one had a quiet homeless man with a shopping cart collecting cans and bottles from the trash bins. Where are the children at play? Where is the laughter? Winter is approaching and I think it will be a cold one indeed.

Kim and Dan

Kim and Dan live together. I decided to go for a "street-light" feel to this photograph, to play with the brick wall. I think they came out rather nicely.

Martha and Colin

Martha and Colin are getting married early next year. Not only was I able to photograph their engagement pictures, but also I will have the oppurtunity to photograph their wedding day as well! I look forward to the date, for I know it will be a fun one to remember!

studio revision, second phase

In September, we took the plunge to get a studio. For some time now, its been in a period of transition from a first floor row-home shell, to what is now a photographic studio. Some kinks, however, are still being worked out, but for the most part, it's becoming a second home to me.

Our friends Joel and Kate over at Humankind Designs are also helping us with making this place work. They have built us a handmade bookshelf, and will soon be building our desk.



Today, we also had a special guest with us in the space. His name is Logan, and he felt quite comfortable.
