I’ve Been Busy…

June 18th, 2011

Untitled, 2011 from Catholic Guilt

Things are changing around here! I have added two(!!) new bodies of work, The Distance Between Us and Catholic Guilt. I also changed the information/contact page, added a short bio, updated the CV, and added an option to sign up for the mailing list. Also, all the images are bigger!

There has been a lot going on in my personal life lately. That is the big reason for my being so quiet lately. I’ll try my best to break down some barriers and post more frequently, but no promises. In the meantime, enjoy the new work and please, feel free to e-mail me with any comments or questions. There are few things that I enjoy more than having a dialogue about what people get from my work.

Submission Season

May 10th, 2011

Here’s a few links to things that every emerging photographer should be submitting to:


DEADLINE EXTENDED: ENTRIES DUE FRIDAY, MAY 13th, 11:59pm

Juror: Peter Barberie, Curator of Photographs, Philadelphia Museum of Art

The Philadelphia Photo Arts Center is excited to announce A Love Supreme, 2nd Annual Contemporary Photography Competition and Exhibition. This year’s title refers to the dramatic transformation in John Coltrane’s creative process and sound in his legendary recording. Moving away from jazz standards to a spiritual and instinctual way of making music, Coltrane forever changed his medium. In this spirit, today’s photographers are creating new visual languages, pushing the medium in unprecedented and unpredictable ways, forever changing how we define photography.

Winning entries will be exhibited at PPAC from June 9 – August 27, 2011 and will be included in the exhibition catalog. First, second, and third prize winners will receive $500, $200, and $100 in cash prizes plus a $50 gift certificate for PPAC’s digital services. The competition is open to all subject matter and photographic processes. Work must have been created in the last 3 years. The entry fee is $40 for a maximum of 5 images. Enhanced lab members of PPAC do not need to send entry fee. Entry fees are non refundable.

All entries must be received by 11:59pm on Friday, May 13th. Entries can be delivered to PPAC or submitted online at http://philaphotoarts.slideroom.com.


This year’s Photo Review International Photography Competition will be juried by Robert Mann, Director of the Robert Mann Gallery, one of New York’s leading contemporary photography galleries. The Photo Review Competition enables thousands of people across the country to see the accepted work in our 2011 competition issue and on our website. Also, the prize-winning photographers will be chosen for an exhibition at the photography gallery of The University of the Arts, Philadelphia.

Currently on View: 12th Street Gym

April 24th, 2011


Until next Saturday, April 30th, two of my pieces from the Philadelphia series are on display at the 12th Street Gym. I am very thankful for the continued support of the General Manager for letting me participate in every Gallery Week thus far. The deadlines keep me making and trying new things. I’ve never printed any of these Philadelphia images before, so seeing them at 30 x 24 inches was very exciting. I’m currently looking into a lab where I can have the larger size made.

If you have a moment, swing by the 12th Street Gym this week and see the prints. And remember, next Friday, April 29th, the opening reception at Paradigm Gallery for the Trickery exhibition that I will have a piece in.
