French Cooking, it is!

My mother, Sally was having difficulty finding a favorite book. We discussed her options and tried a few shots with each book. I think this one might be a winner. I didn't want to post the competing book portraits at the risk of showing poorly-taken photos. Without seeing the other pictures, would you like to share any thoughts?

Infatuated with a book? I want your photo!

And so it begins! Juliet Heller has taken the lead with Jane Austen's Persuasion. This is one of many great photos, as she is such a great model! I thought I'd share, as I have many more to go, and can't wait for this show to happen!
Thanks Juliet!

Where will you be March 15th at 2pm?

Well I have a suggestion!
CafeTazo, in the Mission, in San Francisco.
Look below for the address info.
I will have an art opening reception for two hours!
Free wine and snacks
view my art, tell me what you think, and buy if you love it!
I'll see you there...

In the pouring rain at 7am on Sunday

I have taken down my art at Taqueria Pancho Villa. It came down sadly, at the end of it's term! I will, however, continue the term starting March 15th to May 17th at CafeTazo in the mission.
And just for your information, the Taqueria has a new ad on tv!
I do want to say, if you see the Taqueria's ad on local channels any time soon (because I just did), I recommend you take a closer look- I think, I can't tell you for sure, but I think there's a shot in their ad where you can see my art on their walls. So yeah, basically, I'm famous.
ah haha ahem.
One can hope can't they?

calling all book enthusiasts!

As you can see, Jason is riveted by his book, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Last Friday, we decided to play around with a mini-portrait photo studio set up in our apartment and take pictures of each other. While editing the photos (which are fuzzy, because we went to moylan's first = bad idea) I started to realize that taking portrait shots of friends, family and anyone else who wants to be involved- with their favorite book- would make a cohesively themed photo exhibit in the fairfax library.
I want to try it out, I can't say just yet whether I'm defintely going withteh idea, but I definitely want to try.
Which leads me to you!
If you want your pictures taken with your favorite book and you're a-okay with the idea of being framed and publicly posted on the wall of the Fairfax library for a month, then call/email/fax me and we'll plan a time for a shoot.
I was kidding about the fax. Don't try to fax me. They're for people who don't realize that emailing exist.

the entire month of June, 2009

location:
