Taste Full Beans

I picked up my "Living The Country Life" prints up last week from a show in Lexington, NC. To keep my goal of not having the prints sit at my house they are going to be displayed at Taste Full Beans in downtown Hickory, NC, tomorrow. They will be there for three months. There is five new prints in the show that were added for Lexington. I will be at Taste Full Beans during the Downtown Hickory Art Crawl on June 18 from 5:30-9:00. 14 of my students from Catawba Valley Community College's Photographic Technology program will also be displaying their work. Please come and show your support.

Latino Portfolio

I have finished my Latino portfolio to M. A. Candidacy Review for SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). Within the following week I will know if I can take my final portfolio class in the fall and graduate.
It has been a wonderful project to document the Latino community in and around Catawba County. I have made a lot of friends and have learned a lot about a local ethnic group I knew little about. I feel closer to my daughter who was born in Guatemala. I took her with me to several of the photo shots. In the future I plan to take her to more Latino events.
This might turn into an exhibit one day if I can find a way to pay for the printing and framing. I plan on applying for local grants when they are available.
I am not sure what I will document next. I might continue this project about Latinos or go back to documenting NC farmers. Time will tell.
