Woman Sleeping : Photographer & Subject Unknown (2001): Found 11/29/2010 (Oak Park, Illinois: Sony Cybershot 2.1 MP Camera). I purchased an old Sony digital camera yesterday for $5 from a local thrift store. There were hundreds of images still on the SD cards. Among the series of images, I found this one of someone sleeping... creepy or peaceful? I think creepy... I'm have an ongoing project collecting discarded digital memory cards, and saving and/or retrieving the images (deleted or not). It's amazing how we photograph the most mundane things, yet hold them so dear.

We moved into our new studio in Oak Park. We're settling in just fine and you can expect more things to come soon. The studio is located in the Harrison Street Arts District. There's still a lot of work to be done, but we're making progress. For exhibition, we plan on rotating some small photograhic collections on a monthly basis. Also in the works, a monthly "flea market" style sale. And of course, we have photobooths for public use. (More studio project details to follow in the future). If you're in the hood, drop by. We're open Monday - Friday, 10am - 6:00pm., or by appointment.

There was snow... there was rain and ice.... there was plenty of cold and trees and lots of Andy Warhol! I had meant to post earlier, seeing as though these images are now almost 4 weeks old. I packed crappy shoes and had to buy boots... I also got a sweet hat. All in, we had a great time tooling around AK. Andrea says, "Alaska is how America looked like 100,000 years ago..." I'm not sure if she's right, but it sure felt that way.

That's a Halibut... Last I checked, they don't have Halibut in Greece? Maybe I'm wrong?

So far, so good here in Alaska. We got here Tuesday night and just wrapped up 3 days of work. We have been busy setting up a booth here for the Andy Warhol exhibit at the Anchorage Museum. I'll be posting more shortly about the exhibit and trip.
