Reception is 6:00-8:00 come for some free wine/beer/snacks/awesome.

Additionally my "Reflection" photo will also be in a group show called "Regarding the 3rd Dimension" curated by Camilo Alvarez of Samsøn, Boston. It will be showing at the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset, MA. from Nov. 9 - Dec. 23, 2012.

Last but not least, this month I will also be the featured artist at Colortek of Boston, a photo-lab near South Station in Boston (of course). This is a show that I'm really excited about, mostly because someone actually wrote about me and quoted some of the stuff I've written in this blog. It's like a greatest hits collection of the stuff I've put up over the years, only from an outsider's perspective and explained much better and more cohesively.

This is easily the most expensive photograph I have ever taken. Shot on 35mm Fujichrome color reversal film (which shoots positive, rather than negative images for those who are not in the know) at the Christian Science Center in Boston, with the assistance of my brother. I was originally hoping that the leaves on the trees would have more red in them by now, but I got spots of yellow here and there instead. This is I think, is a good way to describe what I feel like when I'm trying to remember something. It’s like it's all there, but I just can't see where it is.
After the success of "Yin Yang Whisper," I started to think deeper about the direction I want to take this body of work. When I started making these all I was really concerned about was trying to arrange the figures in an interesting way. As of late however, I have been playing with some ideas about how the two sides interact, and using that relationship to imply a narrative. The next images in this series will explore the paradoxical relationship between contrasting emotions. This one is titled "Curious Boredom" and was photographed earlier this week outside the Boston Public Library.
