Print Prices Increasing

I rarely promote my own work with this blog, but I am going to increase the prices of my project Nuclear Family Reaction in two weeks so I thought I would post a notice. This increase coincides with the opening of a group exhibition on January 15th, 2010 at Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg, FL that includes my work along side that of Kay Denton, Andrea Land, Juanita Hong, and Debbie Miracolo.

The 10x10 digital c-prints for color and silver-gelatin for B&W will go from $250 to $350, matted and the 15x15 will increase from $350 to $450, matted. If you are interested in one of my prints, email me before January 14th for a quote on shipping for payment through paypal.

View them all on my website under the portfolio Nuclear Family Reaction.

Critical Mass Top 50: My Top Picks

There were over 200 people from varying backgrounds judging the second round of work submitted to Critical Mass this year so the picks were spread far and wide. I would like to add my opinions about some of the artist who did not make it to the top 50. Here is a list of my favorites:


(not in the top 50,... but fantastic!!)

Tony Chirinos (not on the top 50)




Susan Worsham (not on the top 50)



These photographers made it in the top 50:

Jenn Ackerman

Simone Lueck

Phillip Toledano
