It is with great pleasure to begin the year working on producing new sets of postcards for the Book Shop in Trinity Church in Copley Square, postcards that highlight just a bit the outstanding artwork and craftsmanship of the church’s interior.  The above image is a detail from one of the windows in the chancel executed by Clayton & Bell of London, Jesus in the Temple with the Doctors.  The following image is a detail from The Ascension, a window located in the south transept and executed by A. Oudinot of Paris.

The postcards should be available by end of the month exclusively at the shop.

evening light, in a new home

Posted in Branches, Inspiration, Nature Notes, Photography, Publication Updates, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on December 5, 2013| 7 Comments »

Thanks to all of the folks who have been encouraging me to enlarge my photographs.  I did so with a print of “Evening Light” and I’m happy to share that it has found a new home at Rockland Street Elderly Housing in Roxbury, Massachusetts.  The 18″ x 24″ framed print will hang with many other pieces selected by the senior center with the aid of The Art Connection, a nonprofit organization connecting artists and donors to community service organizations through the placement of original art.  But … please do keep in mind that I love my postcards, notecards and small prints that can be slipped into an envelope.  So if you’d like a “little evening light” in your home, there are blank cards available here.  Have a good rest of the week, folks. 😉

to shine with a bright light

That is this lay person’s interpretation of this image of The Transfiguration of Jesus, a stained glass window in Trinity Church in Copley Square.  It is by Henry Holiday of London.  I hope to share more about the whole window and its maker in the coming month, but meanwhile I can share that I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this center part of the window. It will be available as a postcard in the church’s Book Shop in early October.  Have a good day, folks.

New Postcards Available

Posted in Inspiration, Postcards, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on January 30, 2013| 5 Comments »

This winter, I’ve been lucky enough to continue photographing the interior and exterior artwork of Trinity Church in Copley Square, Boston.

Trinity is considered one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the United States.  It sits in the center of the City of Boston in an area known as the Back Bay.  If you are ever in the Boston area, I highly recommend a visit to view in person this beautiful structure.  Inside you will find represented the great stained glass artists including John La Farge, Edward Burne-Jones and Margaret Redmond.  Above is a scene from one of her stained glass windows, depicting King Solomon.  I’m pleased to share that this image is available as a postcard in The Shop at Trinity Church, located in the church’s basement.  Future postcards will include this scene from the window Jesus Blessing Little Children by Henry Holiday of London

and this mural by John La Farge depicting the story of Christ and the woman at the well.

The church is located at 206 Clarendon Street, Boston, Massachusetts.  The Shop is located in the basement (or undercroft).   You can read more via this link.  Direct line is 617.536.0944 extension 225 for The Shop.

Color-Filled Publication Updates

Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, Postcards, Publication Updates, tagged , , , , , on December 13, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Just a couple of quick updates.  First, you may remember the series of posts late last month about storytelling through paper crafts and collage.  Well I turned some of the artwork into postcards.  Printed on high quality paper, they are bright and beautiful and I hope images that will make people smile as they pull them out of their mailboxes.  If you’re interested in purchase, just send me a note and I’ll let you know how you can obtain them.

Second, you may remember previous posts about my continuing adventures with a very young friend about colors.  Our most recent discourse revolved around the color white.  She may just be four years old and I … considerably older … but she does gently nudge me to push at colorful boundaries in unexpected ways.  As I wrote about in this post, for her I’ve tried to pull together a sampling of my favorite “white” images.

I’m quite pleased with the result.  I hope she will be too.  If you have an interest in this little magazine, it is available here as a print copy or for download.  Ah, technology.  😉

Postcard Project

Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, Postcards, tagged , , , on January 7, 2011| Leave a Comment »

In the lobby of the Boston Public Library, you’ll currently find an exhibit of vintage postcards.  As I walked through the exhibit, I was reminded of how much I love sending postcards.  Plus I’ve been told a number of times this month how important postcards can be in sharing ones work.  So!  That’s all the impetus I need to produce some postcards of my work and send them out into the world.  If you would like to receive a postcard with my nature-themed images, or have a postcard sent to family, friends or colleagues, just send me a note with name and address to:  photographybycynthia[at]gmail.com. There’s no charge and addresses will not be shared.  A limited time offer through April 30, 2011.

Have a good day!

March Updates …

Posted in Contributing Writer, Inspiration, Nature Notes, On the Road, Photography, Photography Exhibits, Postcards, Publication Updates, tagged , , , , , , on March 2, 2010| 2 Comments »

Hi, all. I’ve been struggling with writing this month’s update. Not sure if that’s because I’ve got too much going on or too little. In any case …

Ordinary Beauty

Lately, I’ve been enjoying photographing the mundane. The absolutely ordinary. The every day items surrounding me at home. Like a stamp or a ball of yarn. How beautiful it has been!

Upcoming Exhibits

  • Riverside Gallery @ the Cambridge Community Center: I”m honored to be exhibiting at the Cambridge Community Center, located in the historic Riverside neighborhood of Cambridge, MA. Gallery curators seek to use the space to serve and connect the community. Opening reception is Saturday, March 6 from 4:00-6:00 pm. More details to follow.
  • Somerville Open Studios 2010: Preparations for SOS 2010 are heating up. Organizers are seeking volunteers. If you’re interested, you can find out more information here.
  • I’m seriously contemplating submitting an application to ArtBeat 2010 which takes place in Davis Square, Somerville, MA in mid-July. The event theme is Water and if you’ve perused my website at all, you know how much I love water images. The deadline is end of the month, so I’ll let you know in April if I get the paperwork in on time. 😉

New Opportunities

Based on a young friend’s suggestion, I’ve created a Just Postcards section on my photo website. Fairly unique postcards available for purchase for just $2.25. As the title suggests, they are images only available as postcards. My goal is to continue adding new images to this section, approximately once a month.

Submit!

Well, this past month I hunkered down and identified a bunch of online and print literary and consumer magazines open to freelance photography. I’ve sent off over a dozen new submissions and received only two rejections so far and one “maybe.” The list for March is just as long so … we’ll see. 😉

Write, Write, Write

I think it’s helped that it’s been so cold that I needed to stay inside. I’ve dusted off some old manuscripts and begun to rework them. I’ve pitched a few new article ideas to magazines and literary magazines. Most have to do with my family and close friends, aka the people who inspire and support me most.

My Current Inspirations are slave narratives, bookcases, kitchen tables, magazines I can’t really afford and cacti.  What’s inspiring you right now?
