Caffeine is a photographer’s best friend

You would think by reading our blog that Caleb’s work is really taking off and meanwhile I have disappeared from the face of the photo world. Not entirely true (about me), but close. I’ve been working a lot at my day jobs, which are almost all photo-related, but I haven’t been doing a lot of promoting my own work. The reality of having bills and day job get in the way of my photographic career is a big theme for me right now. But it’s not the worst problem to have. I used to worry about it more until a gallery owner who showed my work last year told me “You can’t make your work and do it well if you can’t pay the bills, so make sure you take care of yourself too”. I am actually working on 2 different projects. One is going very slowly. The other one is coming along relatively steadily but I haven’t told anyone about it yet — mostly because it’s the kind of project I expect to work on for a long, long time before it comes to anything.

But there’s good news! I have a solo show coming up at the Griffin Museum’s Aberjona River Gallery in Winchester, MA. The show will run November 12 to January 10, with both an opening and an artist talk in early December. I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve been swamped with work, but I’ll post details shortly.
