Know your farmer

2011-04-29T00:21:00.007-04:00

Took my weekly trip out to my friends organic farm in Dartmouth on Earthday last week. I buy fresh eggs, milk, and meat. The northeast growing season is short, but vegetables are just around the corner. ~~I thought this Kale looked tasty~~ (a commenter has pointed out that " that's rhubarb, not kale. Rhubarb leaves are toxic." ) Also their bacon is unbelievable, and those eggs aren't painted they came that way. The way Easter eggs are supposed to be courtesy of Round the Bend Farm.

Photo Assignment: Chatham Bars Inn Bridal Show

2011-03-21T23:20:00.001-04:00

Two weekends ago I was lucky enough to have the paid gig of working and shooting a bridal expo at the Chatham Bars Inn. A good time was had by all so I decided to post some highlights from the day.

Last month, I shot a total of 1,373 photos, posted on this blog 60 times, and of course created 30 18x24 posters. Now that's it's all over, I'm taking a few days off. I would like to thank all the people who followed along and especially all of you that commented throughout the process. Since it's only tuesday I'll probably start back with new postings by friday or whenever I figure out what I'm going to do next. There is one thing I'm sure of at this point, whatever direction I decide to take, I'm going to keep it to a more manageable four-to-five posts a week schedule.

2011-01-02T23:48:00.001-05:00

Starting today

2011-01-01T12:18:00.004-05:00

Starting today, I will be working on and posting one poster a day for my upcoming Thesis exhibition at Umass Dartmouth. The description is as follows;

My thesis project consists of a series of 30 posters made in 30 days. Each poster, a “snap-shot” of the day, builds upon the proceeding poster. When viewed as a series the work, or “corpus”, conveys a narrative that encompasses both brief and long periods of time.

The process involves an intuitive, “Stream of conscious” approach to daily life. The materials used are immediate in nature, digital camera, scissors, scanners, and paint which lead to quickly finished work. Because the finished work is digital it can be reproduced at various scales, from small intimate pieces
to billboard sized prints.

Hello readers, I have some news today that I am excited about sharing. My work will be featured in an upcoming alumni show at my alma mater Laguna College of Art and Design. The show is titled Array and the details are as follows:

Array is a Graphic Design exhibit that presents a varied range of

work from designers that are at various levels of their professional career.

The show features work from a husband and wife team creating web, print and television media. Displayed is thesis work from a fine artist/ graphic designer who is currently in graduate school, as well as work from seasoned long standing professionals. Within the range of the exhibit there is multicultural work from an American designer whose heritage is from Iran and work from a teacher whose who is a designer and surfer here in California.

Despite this vast range of careers and focus there is one unifying element that all of the designers presented in the show have in common; they are all alumni of the Laguna College of Art and Design.
