upcoming exhibits

Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, Photography Exhibits, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on April 7, 2013 | 4 Comments »

Water is the common theme, with all its simplicity of form and complex properties.  Unseen trees reflected in the still waters of recent rains along the Charles River Esplanade.

Light bouncing around the ice enhancing the vibrant colors of rocks held tight on a Woburn road.

The two pictures were taken years apart but will both be on exhibit this April at different events.  If you’re in the neighborhood, I hope you’ll stop by to see the work of all the artists on show.

Reflections will be on display at the Artists’ Group of Charlestown 9th Annual Spring Show.  Opening Reception is this Friday, April 12th, from 6:00-9:00 pm.  Read more here:  http://www.artistsgroupofcharlestown.com/

Icecapade will be on display at the Somerville Open Studios Volunteer Show, part of the 15th Annual Somerville Open Studios.  The Volunteer Show will be held at the Bloc 11 restaurant in the heart of Union Square.  Opening Reception is this Wednesday, April 10th, from 6:30-8:00 pm.  Read more here:  http://www.somervilleopenstudios.org/visit/

Red is …

Posted in Inspiration, Photography Exhibits, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 5, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Blood. Fire. Sunsets and sunrises.  Red is the color of energy.  Whether “hot” or “warm” in tone (never cold), that color in all its variations expresses the complexity of life.  I’m pleased to be part of a new art exhibit at the Inside-Out Gallery  focused on that magnificent color.  If you’re in the neighborhood during the month of July, drop by and take a look at all the artists’ expressions of red.  Location:  Inside-Out Gallery in the CVS Window in Davis Square, Somerville.

Down to the Wire: Prepping for SOS 2011

Posted in Photography Exhibits, tagged , , , , on April 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

So, with four days to go before Somerville Open Studios 2011 officially opens, I am feeling the butterflies in the stomach.  But in a good way. ;)   I am excited to be offering high quality postcards this year.  Anyone buying one of my postcards this weekend will receive a free postcard stamp (while supplies last).  Notecards are back with an emphasis on images that capture the beauty of the four seasons.  Last year I brought framed prints.

This year you’ll see more matted prints so that you can frame the images however you like.

Here’s something you won’t be seeing at Open Studios but you may see in the near future.

I’ve always loved the idea of bookmaking and recently tried my hand at using my photographs as the cover art of little blank journals.  I made a few experimentally.

I was a bit concerned about the bindings but at least one small book withstood the attentions of a three-year old so, I think the bindings are okay.

There are just a few other details I need to work out before I feel comfortable offering them up.  But here’s a sneak peak at one.

And finally I am excited to be sharing the table with artist Zoe Langosy.  Over the past few months I’ve been able to share a bit about Zoe as an artist, as well as how she is incorporating my photography into her collage work.  This weekend, come on by our table to see the completed pieces.  The originals will be on display with prints for sale.  I’ve already placed an order. ;)

Here are the details:

Somerville Open Studios, Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1, 12:00-6:00 PM

Visit as many artists’ studios as you can.  There’s lots of transportation options to help you get around.  Zoe and I will at the Community Space located at The Armory, 191 Highland Ave, Somerville, MA.  That’s Location #57 in the SOS mapbook.

Whew! That’s the scoop.  Thanks for reading.  See some of you in a few days.

With Spring on the Horizon …

Posted in Branches, Guest Contributor, Inspiration, Kitchen Inspirations, Nature Notes, On the Road, Photography Exhibits, Postcards, tagged , , , , , on March 10, 2011 | 3 Comments »

It was back in December that I last posted a Words+Images update.  It focused on  end of year inspirations.   Now with spring on the horizon, I thought it time to share new updates.  Let’s see … ;)

Preparing for Somerville Open Studios

Somerville Open Studios 2011 is rapidly approaching and so I am trying to get myself in gear.  I’ve been sorting through images, selecting a set that will be turned into notecards and others that will be matted and framed.  For the first time, I will also have postcards available for sale.  The images will be representative of the changing seasons.  Seasons is the theme of my collaboration with artist Zoe Langosy.

Leading up to show there are many wonderful opportunities to exhibit including the upcoming SOS2010 Volunteer Show.

Sharing Stories

My business cards say “writer/photographer.” A better title would be “storyteller.”  That is what I do whether with words or with images.  With the passing of my Aunt Thelma recently, those fires within have been stoked to listen closely to those around me and to tell their stories well.

Memories

Who Killed Cock Robin?

Family Ties

Finding Perspective

There’s all sorts of things I could say about finding perspective this year.  With my camera, at least, let’s just say I found perspective by getting up close and personal with house plants and cut flowers.

One snowy day, I found a lemon …

And when the sun came out, I spied this bird sitting high in a tree.

I think that’s about it.  More to share in the spring … which is only 8 days away!

To Everything There is a Season

Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, On the Road, Photography Exhibits, tagged , , , on March 5, 2011 | 1 Comment »

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under the sun.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

This year in particular I am made aware of the seasons and how, as Annie Dillard writes in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, “There is a bit of each season in every season.”  The sun is shining later, and so I am able to spend more time outside with my camera, and I swear, there is already a bit of green to be seen even through the snow.  When Spring does arrive, I am truly looking forward to participating in my second Somerville Open Studios with collaborator Zoe Langosy where our exhibit will focus on the complex overlapping beauty of the seasons.  But first up I am excited to be participating in the 2011 SOS Volunteer Show at Bloc 11 in Somerville.  The exhibit opening will be Monday March 14th from 6:30 – 8 pm.  I’ll have on display the luna butterfly above, taken in Maine this past summer.  Maybe I’ll see you there. ;)

Simply Pink

Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, Photography, Photography Exhibits, Publication Updates, tagged , , , , , , on January 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Pink has been on my mind of late.  It is not a color I normally wear or buy in any form.  But as I perused my photos as part of creating a new photo book, I noticed that in nature, I am drawn toward the color, from rosy clouds in the sky to pink petals, leaves and blossoms on earth.

Oddly enough, as I researched the color, I learned that Pantone has announced its 2011 Color of the Year as a Honeysuckle Pink.  My pink book is still very much a work in progress.  My goal:  to produce a quality product ready in time for spring open studios.  We’ll see!

Monthly Updates: Japan and More

Posted in Guest Contributor, Inspiration, Kitchen Inspirations, On the Road, Photography, Photography Exhibits, Publication Updates, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 31, 2010 | 1 Comment »

First up, Japan!  As mentioned in last month’s update, I had the unique opportunity to travel to Japan where I spent three days in Kobe and three days in Kyoto.  View images here. Food was a highlight.  While there, I was indeed introduced to takoyaki, also known as Octopus Balls.  While I admired the satisfied looks on peoples’ faces as they popped the delicacies into their mouths, I decided to abstain until my next trip.

I did indulge in some of the best and freshest sushi I have ever eaten.  Just before departing Japan, I saw a Michelin man dancing in front of a bookstore.  Here’s why. My favorite food discovery was the art of preparing food for display.

An unexpected visual treat was to stumble upon the Festival of Ages, and to trek to Kurama outside of Kyoto to attend the annual Fire Festival. More pictures forthcoming.

Special thanks to recent guest contributors, friends and family who shared their images, including Lorraine’s Rainbow, Keith’s Sunrise and Frank’s Rose (below).

Publication Updates

  • A Boston-based nonprofit serving the homeless has selected one of my photos for its walls, Harbor Rocks.
  • Steve’s Kitchen Window appears in the November/December issue of Orion Magazine, in bookstores now.
  • Monday, November 1st, visit the Evolving Critic for a guest blog about my photographic adventures along the Charles River.

 

Upcoming

  • Inspired by his years of traveling in Japan, guest contributor Steve will write about sake.
  • Photos of New England in autumn.
  • Updates on winter sales events, silent auction participation, and other upcoming exhibits before year’s end.

And that’s the scoop, folks.  Thanks for reading!
