Ya, what she said!

One of my photographs has been accepted into Cambridge Art Association's annual Northeast Prize Show. Whitney Heavy, who also has a studio in my building, describes it well in her blog.

The reception is Friday, May 30th, 6-8 pm. I'll be there!

I'd embed an image of the photograph but... it's the same one I wrote about (and embedded) in this blog just last week. So scroll down.

Wait, I've seen that photo before!

I'm sitting in a portfolio review yesterday morning, chatting with James Hull, when I pull out an infrared panorama of a cabin in Harvard, MA. He pauses then excitedly says, "Wait, I've seen that photo before!"

Turns-out that he almost accepted it into the CAA Interiors/Exteriors show that he juried last month. Ummm, small world.

It was one of those moments that could have slipped into awkward silence. Instead, we just eased into a conversation about the merits of saturation, printing on canvas, and explaining how I make my infrared photographs.

And, as much as I'd like to be resentful about not having a piece accepted for exhibition, I found James to be both charming and very helpful. Guess I'll have to find another chip to put on my shoulder. :-)

It's just a crock...

A water crock, actually, and it's the newest addition to my studio.

I've been looking for an alternative to all the bottled water I drink but didn't want a full-blown water cooler. I eventually came across this crock on the web and ordered it. When it arrived, I became more than a little enamored with its shape. There's something I like about all the intersecting curves that seem to echo one another.

That and it's supposed to be lead-free.
