I've Been Published!

0 comments


One of my Polaroid portraits has been selected to be in the newest issue of JPG Magazine! You can click on the image above to get a better look, it's in the upper right hand corner. I haven't received my copy of the issue yet but I hope to get it sometime this week.

I've been a big fan of JPG magazine for such a long time and I'm so honored for them to pick my photo out of so many entries! I think I announced early last fall that I wanted to have a photo published in a national magazine within a year and I do believe I met that goal. Yay yay yay!

Here's a direct link to the photo I uploaded. I was just out one day with my Polaroid camera and came across this stranger. I asked to take his picture and he said sure. I snapped, said thank you, and took off. I was much too shy to ask his name. In fact, it took about all my courage to ask him for a photo.

Because We're Photographers

Tri State Motel

Funny story to go along with this photo. In January, I was visiting Amber, my BFF, in Texarkana and we assumed this place was run down and vacant. So we're out, taking photos, chatting, next thing we know a guy walks out of the hotel office and starts yelling at us. He asks, what are you doing? What are you doing? I say taking pictures and right away he asks, "WHY?" and I'm like ....because we're photographers? and I was trying my best not to sound like a smart ass. Amber starts walking away. He keeps yelling at us and says he's going to sue us and call the cops and I keep trying to reason with him. I even tell him we're going to delete the photos even though I had a film camera. Oh man, I was about to start running if he took another step out the door. We just quickly walk back to the car and drive off. Scary!

I just got 8 rolls of medium format film developed last week and it's neat to go through the photos and try to remember when and where I took them. I've been super busy lately, that's why I've been slack on posting on this blog but things should quiet down next week.

More Paintings!

1 comments
I worked on these two commissioned paintings back in March and I had lots of fun with them. The buyer pretty much said, "I like your stuff, do what you want!" Yes, that's what I like to hear! I love painting birds and this little kingfisher is so darling. I also love keeping paintings simple and sticking to 3 or four colors.

Happy 4th of July!
