Making HISTORY?

Reframing Northampton: A Contemporary View of the Howes Brothers Photographs will open on Friday, August 11th with an Arts Night Out reception from 5-8 p.m. This exhibition is the happy ending to over two years of research and photography. Working in collaboration with the Contemporary Arts at Historic Northampton [CAHN] program, I have revisited and re-photographed a number of homes previously documented between 1886-1902 by the Howes Brothers of Ashfield, Massachusetts. 

My contemporary images will be on view alongside images of the Howes Brothers’ originals in order to invite photographic comparison. In addition, I am pleased to share that a number of vintage Howes Brothers photographs from the collection of David D'Apice will round out the exhibition.  

Hopefully you can attend one [or all!] of the events happening at Historic Northampton while my exhibition is on view!

No news is good news...

...but some news is better news! So, I'm pleased to share that I'm contributing a piece to the upcoming STRENGTH Juried Photography Show at Hope & Feathers Framing in Amherst, MA. I'm in excellent company as many base camp photographers are also showing work in this exhibition. The opening reception is on Thursday evening, April 6, 5-8 pm in conjunction with Amherst Arts Night Plus. Come on out if you can...Hope & Feathers usually provides some very fine cheese. No kidding! :)

Looking at "winter pictures" today for a [potential] online exhibition. This image is from a series of photos I took on a single, bleak, winter afternoon while pondering the weighty merger of marriage.
