Even more press!

Check out my mentor, friend and colleague Frank Van Riper’s latest column Talking Photography where you can read all about the infamous Tower of Rubble on K Street, Washington DC.

As part of the column, I contributed this nighttime shot that i took last week.

As always, the column is a great read and a real insight into the life of a true pro. For those of you who don’t know Frank’s work; check out his extensive archives from this column as well as the column that he wrote for years as the Washington Post’s photography correspondent:

Another scoop for 24 on 14th

Check out DCist’s latest Art Review of Artomatic. Once again 24 on 14th is one of the few exhibits at Artomatic that is mentioned in the press. I’m amazed that it’s getting this attention.

You can read the DCist post here. They called some of the images ‘Ho Hum’. I prefer the technical term – f**king awful. Others they called ‘Brilliant’ – now yer talking.

You can also read the Washington Post Article here.

Check out this great new Documentary

This is a special post to promote my friend Ryan’s (the “24 on 14th” videographer) new documentary.

Down in the Hollow is a fascinating insight into the lives of Nathan Rourke and his family who decided to live “off the grid” in the mountains of North Carolina. Nathan is deeply committed to living a simple yet rich and fulfilling lifestyle where he ‘gives back’ by running special camps for underprivileged foster children from inner city Miami.

The documentary, shot completely on location over the period of a year and a half, examines the lives and relationships between Nathan and the foster kids with their completely opposite ways of life.

For more information go here where you can watch the trailer and even buy the DVD (for a mere $15) – BARGAIN!

Down in the Hollow was produced by Ryan and directed by Peden Young.

Opening Night at Artomatic!

Artomatic kicked off with a fantastic opening night. There was an amazing buzz about the place. Everyone was in a great mood and seemed to enjoy themselves. My space seemed really popular and it was great to see a few of the faces from my 24 on 14th project in person again.

I also got a chance to see the amazing MilkMachine play and took some drunken photos of them also…check out my flickr site for the full set.
