New Photography Site!
I have a new website for my commercial photography: recordphotography.com. This site enables online print ordering and password protected albums which is pretty exciting.
Self-portrait at Tokyu Plaza, Harajuku Japan
My husband and I are finally on our long desired Japan adventure. Today was our first full day in Japan, and it's been fantastic! We'll be here till the 25th so we have just shy of three weeks to explore central Japan. I'm dying to photograph everything, but we're here to explore and there's a ton of see so I won't have time for careful compositions and photo planning so I'm just having to snap photos quickly as we walk. It's driving me crazy! lol If anyone ever wants to sponsor a photo trip to send me back to Japan, or [...]
Flat Granny and Me by Jenny Fine
Flat Granny and Me by Jenny Fine opens at The Walnut Gallery this Friday (June 12th) from 7-9pm. I spent part of today at The Walnut Gallery assisting with set up and prep for Friday nights show. The installation, or set if you will, beautifully brings the outdoors inside with 12' pine trees, a beautiful 360 degree view of a lovely cotton field printed on delicate tissue paper, and tree branches covered with Spanish moss overhead. The exhibit is an interesting mix of photography, mixed media, and performance art. The installation is still underway but what's up is beautiful and surreal. It [...]

Pop Up Art Gallery
Anniston's second annual Pop Up Art Gallery hosted at 10th & Noble in Anniston, AL on April 17th was a lot of fun. I managed to snag the last little bit of wall space. It was made of cinder block but I came prepared with loose prints, stickies, and sticker labels. I had a great time sharing and answering questions about my work and seeing the work of others.

Journeys by Anita Stewart @ Heritage Hall
After a bit of a fight with my GPS (don't trust Google Maps) I managed to find Heritage Hall Museum in Talladega for the opening reception of 'Journeys,' a selection of artwork by Anita Stewart. The exhibition consisted of a beautiful and inspiring selection of photography, altered books, and cigar box assemblages. I always enjoy Anita's photography but this was my first time seeing her work with altered books and I was very impressed. I particularly liked how she removed part of the cover to create a shadowbox-like appearance in some. In many of her altered books she cut away [...]
