Be apart of my next photo exhibit! "The Face of Change"
Most of you may have known that I was able to attend 3 Obama events during the campaign trail last year. (Madison, Grant Park & the inauguration)
What you probably don't know is that I am planning a photo exhibit titled "The Face of Change" due to open June 6th at the Glass Nickel on Atwood.
Part of the artist statement is involving the reader to think about this concept of what it takes to create a change within their own lives. To take a look at these photos and think about how they reflect on their own lives.
One of the ideas I had to take 2 things and create something new around this concept is to bring in any group organizers, volunteer organization or group that organizes people to be part of "The Face of Change." This is where I would like your help. If you are involved in an organization or group that makes a difference in any regard I would like to include you as a representative for "The Face of Change." My hope is to have a list of groups involved in the official press release of the show to have a representative simply come to the premiere with a name tag / mailing list or basic information about their cause to speak to people to encourage them to create a change in the here and now as they look at and enjoy the photos. :)
Sound like a good idea? I hope I can build a base of support for this part of the exhibit to inspire and move people to action through my photographs.
Please contact me if you think you or someone you may know might be interested in being part of "The Face of Change."
Otherwise the exhibit will be on display through August 6th if you cannot make it out to the premiere June 6th at the Glass Nickel on Atwood Ave.
Please forward this to anyone I may have missed or any of your friends and family.
Remember that change, no matter how big or small will not happen without an individual who is inspired to physically create a change starting with the only time their ever is... right now. Please create a change today and HELP me create my vision to "The Face of Change." :)

Jesse and Erica Land Wedding
Another wedding is in the books and with that the downloads and back ups are complete. Seeing the results of my hard work on the screen is just as exciting and fun to see as shooting the wedding. Weddings really allow me to be creative in expressive in many different ways. They are all very similar yet all very different in many ways. The interaction of taking photos of people is something I feel is very important and essential to a successful wedding day shoot.
The interaction builds with each interaction and the tension that most people feel when a camera is pointed there way fades.
Congrats to Jesse & Erica Land, thanks for letting me photograph your special day!

Shower Economics 101
So I think i have some of my best thoughts or ideas while in the shower. This is where the following idea came from, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
To think of the state of our nations economy is a very scary thought, however I feel that optimism and confidence is the only way we can think about our future.
The complexity and enormousness of the ideas that have placed us in the situation that we are in are both massive is size and scope. The recession stems from an increasing growth of a world market, inflation, greed & corruption (along with a dozen other things). It seems to me that the American people have been thrown to the side, all for the sake of a buck.
Lets face it, we cannot compete with prices of China with a population of over a billion and an equal amount of people living in poverty to the entire United States. This deployment of jobs overseas is the loss of true purchasing power. In the long term it increases costs, unemployment and the debt of the American people.
This is where I feel a deeply rooted problem of the state of our economy stems from. So what is the solution??
We need to bring the jobs and what it means to be American back. The sense of who we are as a people has strayed but isn't lost.
I don't claim to have the solution, but it occurred to me while in the shower, somewhere between the shampoo and body wash, that as long as companies motive for being in business is to turn a buck, you know you've dropped the soap.
Would it be feasible for the United States government to counter act this balance so that both businesses & consumers once more would benefit in different ways for those 3 short words?? MADE IN AMERICA.

Blogging...
So can anyone tell me how to make blogging more effective? Is it really just a way to keep a journal or give out load comments on things that bug or interest you?
I guess, i haven't done this for some time since I wasn't sure what I should be doing to increase the use or visits to my blog.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
