The Fall of Photo

I feel like I start each entry these days with “So, I’ve been busy and haven’t posted in a while…”, which is basically true. But this season is going to be the Fall of Photo , I swear!

I started a new day job a few weeks ago, as Recruitment Coordinator at the New England School of Photography — which is where I went to school and also work part-time with Caleb in the Digital Lab. It’s been a great start and I’m excited about working to get folks interested in the school and the program. It’s fall college fair season, so I’ve been traveling around and talking to a lot of high school students. One student told me recently that her school needed to use their darkroom for storage space, so they don’t offer a photography class anymore. Heartbreaking!

I also participated in Jamaica Plain Open Studios — a weekend-long event in my neighborhood in which over 200 artists open their studios or join group spaces to show and sell their work. I sold a few small prints and talked to many, many people. It was energizing but also a little exhausting.

After working hard this summer on promoting my previous work, I feel a serious and impatient desire to spend more time making new work.

Also, have I mentioned that I finished the redesign of my website?
