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.
 
In Binghamton,  I have two entries in the Regional Art Show put on By the Roberson Museum (July-Oct, 2013).
