Received an email the other day from the developer of the Camera360 Android app praising one of my phone pics taken with their software and asking to display it on their website. I agreed and today it’s been posted. Here’s some screen shots below, or you can view the actual post itself here.
Had two photos published in the newspaper today that were from a job I shot back in September for the United Way of Lawrence County. I held off mentioning about it until they were printed, but now that they’re out it’s no problem. It was a very enjoyable shoot, and I had a great time and met some very fine folks. 130+ people and a 40′ bus made for an interesting day of work – good thing I brought my ladder!

Many thanks to Gayle and everyone at the United Way of Lawrence County!
Wanted to take a moment to announce that I will be having a solo show of some of my documentary photos of Japan entitled, “毎日 : Every Day” at The Blue Heron Art Gallery in Volant, PA, 01/04/2011 – 02/26/2011. These are photos that I took while living and working in Japan from November, 2001 – September, 2003, and are being selected to show a slice of Japanese everyday life that many are not privy to seeing in the typical mass-media images that are commonly found outside of the country. I’ll also have on display some of my pottery work created while I was over there, as well as my wife’s own Japanese sashiko needlework, which is very beautiful in its own right.
In case you’re wondering, The Blue Heron Gallery is a small local gallery that I volunteer at as Assistant Store Manager that is geared towards providing opportunities for regional artists to show their work to a larger audience, as well as providing educational opportunities for young people and cultural education to the region in general. We’re not very big, but our heart is in the right place, and I’m proud to be associated with the gallery as it serves a purpose that is very beneficial to the region and its communities. We have a wide variety of artists and art on display, so if you’re ever in the area, please stop by and take a look.
Details for the dates, location, and the opening reception are included in the images below of the show promo card that I designed. If you have any questions at all, please drop my a line via my Contact link above. Thanks!
Today I’d like to announce the availability of my first wallpaper collection CD! It contains 30 of my all-time favorite photos, individually sized to a variety of common monitor ratios and resolutions, and presented as black matted images when displayed on your screen (see below). Very elegant and striking, and a wonderful, practical way to enjoy my photos. The photos I’ve selected cover a variety of subjects and not just my automotive work, so I’m sure there’s a suitable photo for everyone’s taste and situation. Price is regularly $30 including shipping, but if you order via the website it’s only $25 – a nice savings for a great collection!
To place your order, please contact me via the ‘Contact’ link above, or email me directly. Please advise the quantity of CDs you’d like, plus the shipping address where you’d like them mailed to. Payment is via PayPal or Postal Money Order only, and I’ll give you the payment info/address when I confirm your order.
I really am happy to be able to put this CD together for you! Every photo has been a desktop wallpaper for myself at some point, so I know that you will enjoy them as well. Thanks again, and take care!
Update: The show just started today. Some very fine pieces were picked and are being displayed I have to say, and I am pround to be among them for sure. Reception for the show is this Sunday, 5/2/10, from 2p-4p at The Hoyt. Love to see you there if anyone can possibly make it. In the meantime, here’s a snap of my items on display:
This past Saturday I received notification that two of my images were accepted into the 37th Annual Hoyt Regional Juried Art Exhibition, running from 4/27/10 to 5/28/10 at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts, in New Castle, PA. Considering that out of 227 works entered nearly 2/3 were rejected, and I got two submissions accepted, that’s a pretty fair accomplishment. The opening reception is on 5/2/10 from 2p-4p, so if you’re in the area, stop by a take a look. Until then, here’s the two images that were accepted.
Had one of my photos from the ’10 World Of Wheels show recently published on the website of a local auto customizing shop . The name of the shop is Auto Illusions, based in Moon Township PA, and the shot is of their display booth at the show. I had met their sales manager, Ron Short, there walking around taking pics of the show on his own and we ended up talking photography stuff and the like. Ron’s a great guy and very friendly, so if you have a few moments, definitely check out their site.
Here’s a screen shot of the pic:
Very quick post tonight. Had two shots published on the homepage of the Pittsburgh Today website. Pittsburgh Today is a non-profit project that measures the progress of the region compared to its surrounding areas. One of the shots was from the demolition derby at the Lawrence County Fair this past August, and the other was from the Fort Ligonier Days event a week or two back. Always feels good to see my work presented outside of my own usage. Here’s some screen caps from the site:
