The Light Ekphrastic November 2017 Issue

In the November issue, my images are paired with poet Juyanne James. Click here to view!

The Light Ekphrastic is a quarterly online journal dedicated to the creation of new written and visual artworks through collaboration between artists. 

For each issue, writers and artists are paired, each creating a new poem, story, photograph, painting or other piece of artwork inspired by work previously submitted by their partner artist.

The Light Ekphrastic was founded by editor Jenny O’Grady in 2010. It has grown to attract contributors from all over the world, and to include occasional forays into public spaces beyond the web.

SUMMER TEACHING DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

August 2017 concludes a long summer of teaching photography. First stop was in June at Queens College where we spent many hours shooting on the relatively quiet grounds of the campus. This was followed by a trip to Italy where I met up with the faculty and students of the Pratt in Venice program as they visited the Biennale. Finally I taught through July and beyond in Cooper Union's Summer Intensive program which culminated in an amazing exhibit by talented teens. All our efforts can be viewed in my recently updated student website.
