In the media!!

I haven't posted a great deal lately because I've been tied up with a few other things, namely my solo show that I announced about a month ago.  So, I hope that's rectified in the coming months.  Anyway, I've ran two rolls through my Hasselblad 500 c/m and I will be posting my thoughts on the camera, a few images and my upcoming projects with it by the end of this week.  Until then, I was featured in a few things this past week and I wanted to pass those on to you. 

First off, I attended the FPP Midwest Meet-up and Mat Marrash Gallery Show on July 15.  As I mentioned in my review, it was a great time.  During the meet-ups, Michael Raso typically interviews the individuals and I was lucky enough to sit down and chat with him a bit.  The new Film Photography Podcast is live and it features a recap of that event.  During that recap, my interview with Michael Raso is featured.  My interview comes in around the 1:02:44 mark.  Check out the Film Photography Project and download the newest podcast to hear my interview here.

My solo exhibit is now hanging in the gallery space at the Amos Memorial Public Library in Sidney, Ohio.  It will be up the entire month of August and I'm having an opening reception on Thursday, August 4 from 6-8 p.m.  So, stop by, check out my work, grab some refreshments and chat it up with me.  Before then, check out the article that was featured in the Sidney Daily News yesterday here.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for my Hasselblad images and post later this week!

Solo Show Announced!

So, here is the big announcement that I was eluding to in my last few posts.  My first solo exhibit / gallery show will be taking place next month!  I finalized the details in January, but I didn't want to publicize it until the date was fast approaching.

At the beginning of the year, I posted a few photo resolutions.  One of those resolutions was to create my best work yet.  Well, in preparing for this show, I can tell you that I think I have achieved that goal and I'm only half way through the year.  I'm still not where I want to be and I know that I have so much to learn and I have more room for growth.  This show is not an ending point; it's merely the beginning of my photographic journeys.  There are so many things I want to photograph that I haven't, so many projects that I want to create, so many cameras and film that I want to experiment with and processes that I want to try.  This is why the theme for my show is "An Introduction."  It's a way of introducing myself as a photographer to all of you and the general public.  It's meant to show you how I view the world; it's my story, created by my eyes and my cameras.  This show is also meant to display my progression as a photographer and an artist.  My early point and shoot work is how I started; my DSLR work displays my progression and film is where I'm at now.

So, without further ado, here are the details of the show:

Show:
Dates:  The show is being hung on Monday, August 1 and will be on display from Tuesday, August 2 - Wednesday, August 31.

Some of the images that are featured on this blog will be on display, but I have a few pieces that I'm "unveiling" at the event, including a few that I hinted at from my Mansfield Reformatory shoot.  So, feel free to drop by, check out my work, chat and enjoy some food.  I hope to see you all there!
