    Naked Barn, East Kingston, NH I am honored to be invited to jury the show Proof in B&W at ArtSpace@16 in Malden, MA in October. This will be an all-Black & White show of traditional (non-digital) photographs. ArtSpace@16 has a well-earned reputation in the Boston area for hosting cutting-edge exhibits of all forms of artistic media, and I am delighted to be a part of this show.

I will be giving a gallery talk at the show's opening reception, which will be from 2 to 5 PM on Saturday, October 28th. The show will run from October 28 through November 18, 2006.

  • Giving Back to the Community:

    eternity I donated my photograph, Eternity, to the AIDS Response - Seacoast annual auction in Portsmouth, NH. I am particularly fond of this image, and it seemed appropriate to use it to help fight this terrible disease.

  • New England School of Photography Show:

    In my previous newsletter I mentioned that I was planning a major solo show this fall at the New England School of Photography galley on Kenmore Square in Boston. I was really excited about this exhibit because it would be a large (42 piece) solo show in the heart of one of Boston's academic and cultural centers, not to mention directly across the street from the Red Sox' Fenway Park. Sadly, the school lost its lease on their gallery space (and the Sox are in a slump), so this show is being postponed for now. Stay tuned...

  • Current Artistic Endeavors:

    It's been a great summer for photography here in New England, and I've been adding a lot of new work to my "to be printed" list. In particular, I've "focused" on my series of photographs in and around Colonial Meeting Houses. I have visited just about all of the artistically interesting ones in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and I'm planning a trip to coastal Maine this fall. To see more about this project, please visit: Colonial Meeting Houses (it's a fairly large file probably not suitable for a dial-up link). Also, another trip to the Mount Washington Observatory is planned for early December.
