One of my entries for this year's BLUE exhibit was juried into the show! BLUE is Cambridge Art Association's annual open competition (it rotates with RED every other year).
The accepted piece is Windshield and Hillside in Infrared Light, Cleator, AZ.
It's a view from within an abandoned pick-up truck looking out onto a ghost town in one of my favorite parts of the world, the American Southwest.
There's something wonderful about the Southwest. The climate preserves old, discarded objects. The light has a delicate, beautiful quality that makes just about everything look better. And, of course, there are the bullet holes.
I don't know if someone just wanted to make sure that this pickup was really dead or what, but I'm glad they did.
I hope you'll join me at the BLUE reception. Details are available on the FaceBook page for Andrew Child Photography. You don't need a FaceBook account to view the invitation. If you do have one, though, send me a friend request!

MS Challenge Walk
The MS Challenge Walk was last weekend. Beautiful - but rainy - Cape Cod for fifty miles over three days. I photographed the event for the sixth consecutive year and, as always, had a wonderful time. I've tried something new this year and posted three albums to my Facebook page:
Friday - Hyannis to the Cape Cod Sea Camps in Brewster
Saturday - Cape Cod Rail Trail
Sunday - Sea Camps to Nathanial Wixon School
You don't need a Facebook account to view the albums. If you have one, though, send me a friend invite!

Like Summer Camp for Photographers
So if I was a kid again and had one of those what-I-did-during-my-Summer essays, it would go something like this...
I spent a week in Rockport, ME at the Maine Media Workshops taking Joyce Tenneson's workshop on creating photographic books.
Joyce Tenneson is one of my all-time favorite photographers. She describes her work as beauty photography, but that's sort of like describing what Michael Phelps does as swimming quickly. I've been interested in taking one of her workshops for years and jumped at the chance this summer when a workshop came along at a time that fit into my schedule.
The workshop was a hands-on week of learning, doing, eating and trying to sleep a little. Here's a photograph of me in front of my laptop by fellow student Enid Bloch.
Enid caught me in a rare moment when I wasn't staring into the screen bleary-eyed. I credit three travel mugs worth of coffee and Enid's photographic expertise with my apparent alertness.
The week culminated in crit sessions of book mock-ups that we created in class. I'll probably have more to say more about that in a future post.
Friends have asked me what I thought of scenic Rockport, Maine. I'm guessing it's pretty nice but, to be honest, didn't see much of it except the classroom where we met every day. I did manage to sneak out for a couple of early-morning walks, though, and saw...
... a lot of fog.

What does a messy studio mean?

Great, but should I spring for the trophy?
Here's a different twist, I've been awarded a Bell Ringer award from the Publicity Club of New England. The best-in-category (Special Event: Series Campaign) award is for the Faces and Voices of Autism Photo Exhibition.
Okay, that's not the different twist. The different twist is that I can order a certificate for $15 or a trophy for $125. Hmmmm....
