Many of my friends and I often try to get into a couple of local visual arts exhibitions. I’ve been accepted into both of them at different times, but never during the same year. Lawndale Art Center, one of the two exhibition sponsors, recently announced their call for entry for the 2024 BIG Show. I was accepted into their 2023 juried exhibition and enjoyed my eight-month relationship that ended with an auction and brunch at their facility.

It’s a FOTOFestival!
March in Houston marks the start of Bluebonnets and spring festivals. On alternate years, it’s also the year of FotoFest. This year’s theme is Critical Geography, and I’m fortunate that I’m associated with two organizations that are serving as Participating Spaces.
Manvel or Bust
When a good friend offered me a chance to display my work at Manvel Mansion for four months, I jumped at the opportunity!
WALL FLWRZ
Kicking off January 2024, I’m thrilled to present WALL FLWRZ—an exhibition featuring my favorite lumen prints.
No More Ducking

The Back Story
I once collaborated with a talented poet on a project where SPACE was the theme. For our project, we chose Hiding SPACE, which explored how we so often substitute our thoughts with emojis.
Celebration!
July is shaping up to be a pretty good month for me. I’ve had three pieces juried into exhibitions–two of them being international. Archway Gallery is hosting the local exhibition and the juror is Rosa Ana Orlando. Although I don’t expect many of my friends to make the trip to PhotoPlace Gallery in Vermont orContinue reading “Celebration!”
Early Fillin’ Station
In 1891, the tract of land that was to become the largest planned community in the United States was purchased by O. M. Carter. It was located 2.5 miles from downtown Houston, and because it was situated roughly 23 feet higher than the surrounding area, it was named Houston Heights. When I first moved toContinue reading “Early Fillin’ Station”
Not All Exposure Times Are Created Equal
My studio at Silver Street Studios contains B&W and lumen prints. One of the more common questions I’m asked has to do with time, as in, how long does it take to make a lumen print? Although the standard answer is, “it depends,” most people are shocked to learn that although it takes a matterContinue reading “Not All Exposure Times Are Created Equal”
