First Things First

Here's a quick scan of my first still life shot in my new studio. I can't wait to make a print of this in the darkroom. This residency is a dream come true. My studio is beautiful and I'm surrounded by so many talented and inspiring artists. Thank you LMCC!

The September Issue

Last September I was doing my residency at the Center for Photography at Woodstock. This week I went up there for a few days to visit and finally show them some of the finished prints and get some good feedback and editing advice. It was great to spend a few days there. 

This week I also began a workspace residency provided by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC). I will have my own studio space downtown for 9 months and get to work alongside many talented artists and writers! 

I started this blog one year ago because I wanted a place to show my work in progress while on residence at CPW.  So it seems September is my month for beginning residencies, let's just hope this trend continues next Fall!

CPW Residency Application Deadline: 4/3/09

The Center for Photography at Woodstock is now accepting applications for its 2009 residency program. I was an artist in residence in September of 2008 and would highly recommend this program. I got an incredible amount of work done in such an amazing environment and got to work with an extremely talented and dedicated staff.
I began working on my still life series there. I shot over 100 sheets of film, including working with the 8x10 camera. CPW's facilities are well maintained and well stocked. They have both a Sinar 4x5 and 8x10, B&W darkroom, as well as a full digital lab and digital cameras at your disposal. In adition CPW provides housing, a food stipend and an honorarium! Wow! This is too good to be true, Apply Now!

Thank You CPW!

Its so weird adjusting back to my normal life after spending such an amazing month away from home. Wow, i can't believe its over. This month long residency at the Center for Photography at Woodstock has been jam packed with making work,  being surrounded by great people and thinking about photography 24/7.  It's been heaven! I shot a lot of film, used the 8x10 camera, had 24hr access to digital equipment/darkroom, went to lectures by Larry Fink, Angelika Rinnhofer, Keith Johnson, and David Hilliard but the best part was the technical and emotional support of everyone at CPW! I needed a lot of both :) and they were always there for me. 

So Ariel, Larry, Liz, Meghan, and Phil-THANK YOU for everything!  Also a special thanks to all the interns: Sarah, Emily, Bree, Amanda, Josephine and Kendra for their camaraderie, silliness, and their willingness to be photographed.

Thank You CPW!

Going, Going, Gone

Its my last day here in Woodstock and i really don't want to leave. But i've already eked out two more days of my residency and all good things must come to an end... plus the seasons are changing and reminding me its time to go. Here's one of the last still lifes i shot at CPW.
