Let’s Trade: Prints for Magnets
You need some damn fine 4×6 prints. My refrigerator needs some of your cool local magnets. Let’s make a trade.
Contact me to work out the details.
Berry Picking. Still Wild
In keeping with my 20lb harvesting plan, I went blackberry picking on Friday and Sunday. I picked between 2-3lbs each day. If I venture out twice a week for the next 2-3 weeks, I should have no problem meeting my goal.
The goal is more than a number.
We took my grandfather back to Poland.
In June, I joined members of my family on two week visit to Poland. We toured the parts of Warsaw, Lubin, Krakow, Zakopane, and my grandfather’s hometown of Borzechow. Eating and basking in the glory of your return to the “old country” can be quite tiring. My grandfather is a master of the nap.

Read/Write Collaboration
** Anyone interested in a collaborative project? I’m open to a range of topics and production methods. Ideally, this collaboration would mimic the read/write ethos of the creative commons and the resulting work would be licensed under agreeable CC conditions. **
In January, I blogged about my interest in licensing work via the Creative Commons and ended up settling on a CC Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 license. I have since revised the terms and changed to a bit more open Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License.
The Commons are meant to expand distribution potential while maintaining a given level of control. This allows producers to publish work online while communicating to exactly what can and can’t done with the work. A large portion of my Flickr imagery is now under said license. For more info about the Creative Commons, I’d suggest examining their licensing conditions, case studies, and interviews.
Expanding Horizons: New Work + Portfolio Update
Recently, I had the opportunity to do some documentary photography work in support of The Right Brain Initiative (a RACC program). The images I captured will be used in organization’s annual report as well as their various social media outlets.
** Also, I have updated my portfolio to include my recently completed TARP(s) project and added a new section of photography featuring scenes/landscapes + people/portraits. **
Olafur Eliasson’s Round Rainbow @ The Hirschorn Museum, 2007
In November of 2007, I viewed Olafur Eliasson‘s Round Rainbow at Washington, D.C.’s Hirschorn Museum. It made an immediate impression upon me. I stood silent for roughly 20 min just watching this simple creation spin light and pattern around the darkened space. Consisting solely of acrylic glass, a HMI spotlight, motor, and tripod, the work seemed to be much more than the sum of its parts. I remember smiling as color and light wrapped around the room, seemingly drawing all mass and energy toward the rotating acrylic ring. Simple, silent and oh so heady.

Parked Cars : Optics & Interiors
Photos concerning the interiors of parked cars and/or their window optics.
If you enjoy these images, definitely check out the Kevin Cooley series Parked Cars. The photographs seem to create single image short stories. Wordless moments in limited context, prime for personal projection.
