What an exciting week

I just shipped of two pieces to Kansas City for the exhibition ‘Now Knowing’.  They will be exhibited at Cara & Cabezas Contemporary between March 23 – May 25, 2012.
I think it will be a pretty interesting show and if you are in the neighborhood then you should definitely stop by.

at Cara & Cabezas  |  1714 Holmes Street  | Kansas City, Missouri

Back into the darkroom and working digitally at the same time is kind of FUN!  I love it!

My new series that I have been working on for a while; ‘String of Life’ has been a playful game with intertwined threads of photographing digital images without a camera..   and I have a wish to rebuild cameras and scanners into new ‘pixel-capture-tool’.

This post by Photojojo is a great inspiration and I can’t wait to dive into this huge pool of possibilities!!
Just for fun you should check this out too 😀
