The annual ArtSpace Open Studios are October 4th and 5th this year. I hope you'll drop by my basement studio (20-S) and check-out some of the pieces from my recent exhibition of infrared photography. I may also have a few new prints, including shots of a shipwreck at Newcombe Hollow on Cape Cod.
Here are the details: Date / Time: October 4 & 5, 12 pm - 5 pm Location: ArtSpace Maynard, 63 Summer Street, Maynard, MA

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!
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.
I am delighted to announce a solo exhibition of my color infrared photography now hanging at the Acton Memorial Library through August 28th.
Spanish Horse Farm
This exhibition includes several full-color, infrared panoramas on display to the public for the first time as well as a number of photographs taken locally (Acton, Stow, Concord, Harvard and Boston).
A reception will be held at the library in two weeks:
Date: Wednesday, July 30
Time: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Location: Acton Memorial Library, 486 Main St. (Rte. 27) in Acton, MA
Directions: http://www.actonmemoriallibrary.org/locationandhours.htm
I hope to see you there!
Old North Bridge, Concord, MA
The floor is littered with scraps of foam board, mat board, and bits of canvas strips. The safety goggles are out, sectional frames are – well – sectional still, and the music's cranked to loud.What's it mean?
It means I'm on deadline for a solo exhibition...
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....

The Faces and Voices of Autism traveling exhibition is on the road – somewhere in California, last I heard.

The Lamplighters are especially notable because they evaluate not just communication, but also outcome. When we (May Institute, the National Autism Center, and Andrew Child Photography) set-out to turn a body of work into an exhibition two years ago we approached it with a communication strategy. Rather than pulling together a group of attractive photographs, we identified the target audience groups and key messages we wanted to address. Among the groups were legislators, professionals who work in special needs fields, and the general public. One of the key goals was simply to make autism personal – to move people in a deeper and more meaningful way than facts and statistics can alone.
