New Work

I have really been neglecting my blog. This is in part due to the fact that I have not photographed any of my latest work. But since this is supposed to be a blog about my art, I decided to put up some work from a couple of months ago.

This first piece is called Awaken - for obvious reasons.

This is from a series of 10" x 10" prints I created for a show I was having at the studio I work at, Sev Shoon in Ballard. This is called Bravura.

This print is called A cappella and is from the same series.

Everything Changes

Okay, so I have officially become one of those people that I hate. You know the ones. They start a blog and then never update it. Well, to excuse myself, things have been a little bit crazy. To start with, our family of six is now officially a family of four. Yes, my two oldest, Leah and Sarah, have moved out. I miss them terribly, well actually I see them almost as much as I used to, but mostly I am incredibly thrilled and happy for them. So it has been a week since they moved and I have been spending the time since trying to rearrange the house and make room for all the stuff we didn't have room for before. Out with the old and in with the new as they say. It is very weird though. The house seems very quiet. I suppose we will get used to it. And then just when it starts to be normal, Anthony, child number three will be gone on his mission. We have about eight months until that happens. Then Hannah, child number four, will be all alone with the old folks. It will be hard for her. But hopefully Leah and Sarah will visit often. Well I am now thoroughly depressed and so will take myself off. I have more cleaning and rearranging to do. Bye for now.

The second sentence

Well, we all have to start somewhere. It has been my intention to start a blog for some time. I have always been great at starting things. That is, things that don't involve words. For some reason when words are involved I get stumped. Oh the essays I never could write in school because I couldn't figure out that first sentence. Silly me, I never thought of starting with the second sentence. I probably would have done just fine if I didn't start at the beginning.

And so we come back to this blog. The beginning, which is in fact not a beginning at all, because everthing we do actually does start with the second sentence. The first being everything that has led up to this point. In this case my first sentence started with everything in my life focused around music. I have spent much of my life as a classical musician, cellist by trade. Finding much of the professional musician life distasteful, ten years ago I started working at being a photographer. I truly love photography, however it was not as fulfilling as I would wish. Then two years ago I discovered printmaking and I think I have truly found my passion.

So enjoy. Visit often. Comment anytime.
