If you wish to help promote the event, I’ve designed an 11×17 PDF for printing.
Here is the design.

Custom shirts to be sold at opening in July
I’ve been discussing this with the gallery owner and last night we came to an agreement. We’re going to be printing four custom designs based on the art in the show. Not only can you buy prints of the work, you can now be able to wear the work. Here is a sample of what some of the screens will look like for the printing process.
Coney Island Photo Oppurtunity
Lauren Farmer posted on her blog a couple of weeks ago asking if anyone was up for having their photo taken. Being the adventurous type and wanting some new photos for my sites, I figured I’d inquire. After a few back and forth emails we decided to venture out to Coney Island this past Saturday. It’s one of my favorite spots in the city. It was really fun and exciting to do. She has a very unique view of the world around her and I’m very glad to have taken her up on this oppurtunity. Thanks Lauren.
I had to put the photos to music, as I often do. The track is The Funeral, from Band of Horses. The photos are also on Flickr.
Cool (by association)?
My friend Jon Saunders was honored with an Official Honoree award from the 2009 Webby Awards. This is something he should be very proud of. Hell, I’m proud of him! This is HUGE. Congratulations Jon…
I got an email today at 4:32pm letting me know this site, I Like To Tell Stories, was one of 12 Honorees in The Webby Awards – BLOG-Culture/Personal Category. Among my fellow 12 Honorees: Anderson Cooper, NPR, Top Chef and Cute Overload. I am among greatness and it really feels wonderful. The 5 nominated sites are quite amazing as well, I just explored and added several to my RSS, you should too.
This was not just a photo competition or even a photography only category, it was open to all blogs of a cultural or personal nature. I am truly humbled to have my images and stories included in such a wide open category among so many diverse websites, it really is an amazing thing to realize.
I called my father, emailed a few friends and 2h later, haven’t stopped smiling.
I’d like to thank the Academy (yes, it’s an academy) and everyone along the way that let me photograph them or otherwise let me share my part of their life……
