I’m going through frames I made during my fellowship this summer. It’s always good to edit when you are somewhat removed from the work, it opens your eyes. This pair stuck out to me when considering the title. There will be a show in Nelsonville, Ohio with images from me and colleague/ classmate / very talented photographer Jim Korpi at the end of Sept., supposedly at Stuart’s Opera House. Details to follow when I get them. I’d love to see anyone and everyone there, especially the Athens folk.

Been back in town (Naperville) for two weeks and though I was pretty enamored with the rural lifestyle and the beauty of the land I saw this summer I am now wondering if I didn’t quite appreciate it enough. Just a few weeks back in suburban rat race has done a number on my psyche. I can’t keep up with it all, and stories like this and this from the DNC have me grasping for ways to stay positive. As a side note, if the Republicans happen to treat people like, well people, at their convention they just might look a little better. Not that that means much to me. Gah.
