News x 2

Hi everyone:

Got a couple updates to give y'all during a rare mid-week post.  First, and most importantly, I have a last-minute show coming up here in Washington, DC.  I'm pretty psyched...it's my first show in DC since moving here and I love the space and the other artists in the show.  It's a great little spot called Gallery Plan B; and Paula, David and crew are awesome.   The show is called Photography:  Process and Perspective, and as the title indicates, all of the artists in it use non-traditional photography processes to create their work.

So, those of you around the DC area on Thursday, June 20th, stop by the opening to give some love, and receive some back in the form of drinks, refreshments and undying gratitude from yours truly.  Here's the details:

If you can't make it, don't worry - the show is up for over a month and the gallery plans to carry this body of work on an ongoing basis.  So, now you Washingtonians have no excuse.

In other news, I'm still working on this vintage toy series and shot a new one over the holiday weekend. This one is a little different than the others, but when put next to them, it kinda works.  Tentative title is:  Girl With Her Blaster:



For this one, I wanted the ray gun to be prominent, since the series is about toys and all.  But, I also wanted a constructed scene that showcases playtime...but with an edge.  I'm sure that some folks might feel this was solely meant as an anti-gun statement, but in context with the other images from the group, that really does fade away quite a bit.  I can tell you that my oldest daughter Mia had a great time playing with that ray gun...she's normally not allowed to even touch the collection, much less play with it.

More to come as it happens...

-Marc
