The 1912 Project “Heat No. 1” Edition NOW AVAILABLE:

So with a few months of 2013 already gone, The 1912 Project is back from its break with a brand new limited edition t-shirt release entitled “Heat No. 1”. This will be the first in a series of tees utilizing photo-based graphics and features brown ink on an ivory shirt. I’m really excited to see how this image will hold up over time - I’m thinking it might fade in the same way a vintage photograph would. The shirts are available exclusively at Frances Vintage Boutique in Phoenix on Central and Camelback. There are both mens and ladies sizes but only 25 available total, so get em’ while you can. Spread the word!

Feature on TopPhotographyFilms.com

This past weekend I was interviewed by the curator/director of TopPhotographyFilms.com, a wonderful photo-based blog style archive of featured talents, photography films, and links. It was a great opportunity to discuss some new things going on in my head. It also helped remind me why it is I do what I do. Be sure to check out the full article as well as the rest of the site!

“Photography and Environmental Concern” Exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery in Vermont: The most pressing issues facing us today revolve around questions of our relationship to the planet we inhabit.  While in the past the wilderness photographs of Ansel Adams defined the natural environment as a place of untouched pristine beauty, much recent photographic work has examined the increasing complexity of our interaction with the environment by focusing on such topics as pollution, global warming, industrial development, resource depletion, sustainability, recycling, and land use. I am pleased to announce my inclusion in PHOTOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont on display from March 30 - April 20th, 2013. My piece “Desert Barnacle” was selected by juror, Kate Ware, Curator of Photography at the New Mexico Museum of Art.

Black Carl Album Release:

After a year since the previous release, the final of four collaborative albums with Black Carl is now available to the public. The release show last month at Phoenix’s Crescent Ballroom was awesome! For over 2 years now I have had the pleasure of working with these wonderfully talented musicians in creating the Black Carl Record Club Releases. Starting with “The Chariot”, “The Magician” and “The Hanged Man”, “The Fool” and now “The Wheel”, this experience has been nothing short of superb!

We’ve selected photographs of mine we felt best portrayed each album theme, either conceptually, literally or both. This final edition album is a 12 track CD instead of a vinyl record and can be purchased by contacting Black Carl directly.

This has been an exciting way to take part in Phoenix’s music scene and being that Black Carl is one of my favorite local talents, it’s been truly special. Be sure to check em out and support these amazing individuals! Special thanks to John, Matt, Chad, Ian, Emma, and Jess for inviting me to become part of this creative process! It’s been an honor!

SMoCA’s Visions Teen Program:

This week I will have the pleasure of working with some young valley talent as part of The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art’s Visions Teen Program. Through a photography workshop exploring the use of “large” and “small” scale photography high school students will be introduced to two very different forms of image capture - “new age” microscopic photography and “old school” large format view cameras. By focusing on concepts of space and environments and their relationships with small “things” that make them up, these young talents will learn some new methods through which to produce their own work. Any chance I have to work with young talented individuals is always exciting. I enjoy sharing and hopefully inspiring these students to continue engaging in the arts and look forward to seeing the works they create.
