Coming Up...
In just a couple weeks, I will begin teaching my first photography class. The semester begins January 27th, and I am very excited to be teaching Digital Photography at the Sitar Arts Center in Washington, D.C.
The Sitar Arts Center is a community center offering after-school programming for under-served youth in the arts. Classes include photography (digital and traditional dark-room), dance, theater, various painting/drawing classes, musical instrument instruction and more! More information can be found at the Sitar website regarding their history, programs and much much more!
I am also ramping up the courage to begin a 365 project. I know this is a somewhat tired concept, but I really think it will re-invigorate me creatively, provide me a new challenge, as well as be something just a little different and quirky.
Mine will actually be a "Dino-a-Day" project, where I showcase the little toy dinosaur that came included with my order from photojojo (thanks guys!) in various locales and situations. The folks over at photojojo have a knack for keeping things interesting and fun, so now it's my turn to re-gift some of their quirkiness with you.
Some days I might just post the photo, others I might provide details and a story. Others might have both a dino post and a completely unrelated post on the same day. I really just don't know yet, as I have never attempted a daily project before.
Other than that, nothing too big here. I am hoping to get my studio space finished up soon, and begin work on a couple pieces I have in mind, as well as re-visiting my website and its design as I feel like my website needs a new and fresh look. I have a couple ideas...
Wish me luck and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Holidays!
Another year has passed by, full of surprises, adventures, ups and downs. The good news however, is we survived, and have many fantastic memories to reflect upon, as well as some lessons learned. I know I am also grateful for the many opportunities life has afforded me, and for the vast support from those in my life. I am also very proud to say I earned my BS in Sociology from Boise State University, graduating December 20.
Looking ahead to the new year, I cannot wait to begin new adventures, see more of the world, and enjoy the time with family and friends that is so precious. One of my first adventures will be teaching digital photography at the Sitar Arts Center in Washington, D.C. What other adventures I embark upon will remain to be seen, but I am also putting a renewed focus on my photography as well as my art. Look for some new projects and pieces throughout the year.
To all of you, I wish you all the best. Happy New Year and here's to making 2014 the best year yet!
