2014 MWPAI Sidewalk show & SUNY IT photo exhibit

I have certainly scaled back a bit recently on entering shows and exhibits, but here are two recent ones that I did submit pieces.

The MWPAI annual sidewalk show... I submitted Grass Tree Cloud Sky.

And I showed three pieces at the show at SUNY IT... "Two Sides of Utica", "Internalization", and "Day's Serene End"

A book, a recital, and three exhibits in two hometowns

Gary Leising's book of poetry will soon be released... and I took the photo for the cover art. I also took the author photo.

I took many, many images of the dance recital by Dancenter in June. I learned a lot in the process.

In Utica, I have entries in both the annual Sidewalk Art show, and in the Andy Warhol photo contest. Both are put on by the Munson Williams Proctor Art Institute.
