One of my images wase included in the Worldwide Photography Biennial Exhibition benefiting Save the Children and the Foundation for the Comprehensive Treatment of Children Neurological Diseases (FLENI) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. For more details, follow this link.
Here are some pics!
Just saw the permanent display at Mercy Corps International headquarters, and they used many of my portraits from around the world.
Here is a link to the Action Center. It is very interactive! They have tools that people use in developing countries, videos, many things to touch, see, experience. It is a great place for kids and adults, as children can teach us many things about our preconceptions regarding developing countries and what they have to offer the world.
Take a young person’s hand and bring them there with you!
Oh, the joy of landing on a subject matter that makes my heart pound faster…
I had literally fifteen minutes on the first day and twenty minutes on the second day to capture these images before police, frustrated shopkeepers, or a pressing crowd stopped us in our tracks. My assistant Dani had to negotiate extensively for us not to have to go to jail. Apparently I need a license to shoot on the streets with a backdrop in Ethiopia. (Working on that!)
But now…I can’t wait to return and see these beautiful faces again. Such difficult work, such difficult lives they lead, the market workers of Ethiopia.
I will have twelve images in the group show, Light Intimacy, in Palo Alto, April 12 – May 9, 2012. I hope you can stop by!
WOW! My series, “Youth Of Africa”, was juried into the Blue Sky Drawers program.
I am incredibly honored.
My image of Kristen Ulmer, extreme skier and co-founder of the Ski To Live program, was juried into the “Natural Playground” show, juried by Corey Rich and Justin Gural at the Darkroom Gallery in Vermont. Details can be found here.
This image was first published in Sports Illustrated For Women.
I watch preparations for Halloween on the streets. My nine-year-old friend who passed away this year seemed to be able to parse out his mind from logic and the overlay of structure…and help us all believe, really believe, in dragons and spirits and totems and the mish-mash of spirits that help us along. Perhaps he did know something we can’t understand. Perhaps he did tap into something “out there” beyond our mind’s capabilities or willingness to grasp.
I think he knew that he would live far beyond what anyone could imagine. Gage is right here: magical, deliberate, thoughtful, balanced and oh-so wry.
I have been getting back out on the streets to find random subjects that I want to photograph.
It’s all in the eyes.
I spotted Josiah as he skated by on his skateboard, going everywhere and nowhere at the same time. He now floats in my mind like Walter Chappell and others; they are whispers..not quite in focus, but in my memory, and so alive.
Reminds me of the beauty of ancestors.
I have a few images that were juried into upcoming shows:
Roadtrip, juried by Douglas Beasley:
Persona, juried by Chris Buck:
Member’s Show, juried by the staff at Newspace Center For Photography:
