Long Island, Part Two

Long Island, Part One

We took a trip down to Long Island for a couple days to visit with our good friend and my roommate from last year and for this coming year. We had a remarkable time and it was good to get to spend time with the three of us.

Creative Grab Bag, Advance Copy

A little while ago I recieved an advance copy of my first book Creative Grab Bag in the mail. These are some photos from that. Here is more information on the book and it is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders, and Your Local Bookshops. More photos and information soon.

New Website

It is with much anticipation and excitement that I introduce you to my new website! This website serves the purpose to archive, showcase, and share my visual and written work. The new site design features an overall simple design allowing more focus on the photographs, portfolio pieces, and written content. The navigation and menu structure at the left stays in a fixed position as you scroll through pages, making it easy to navigate to other pages.

Contact, Index, and Education are three new pages. The Index page will serve as an archive for all content on the blog and portfolio while the Education page will document my school work and thoughts. The portfolio now includes a year of work from art school and there are larger images throughout the website. For now, comments have been removed, they will hopefully be back eventually, please comment through email or social networks.

There will be more information on other new projects and exciting announcements soon. In the coming months you will continue to see the documentation of my creative work, stories, and ideas as I continue to discover the world and move forward in my education and work.

Hike to the Cascades

We embarked on a hike to some small cascading waterfalls in the middle of the woods. We arrived to find kids swimming, people sitting on large rocks, and somebody fishing. The water proved to be a bit chilly to actually go in but we sat around the water for some time and took some pictures.

The Clark

With the family, I visited The Clark Institute, which consists mainly of a museum along with smaller galleries, a book shop, cafe area, and studios for teaching and reasearch.

In 1950 Sterling and Francine Clark chartered the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute as a home for their extensive art collection. Opened to public in 1955, the Institute has built upon this extraordinary group of works to become one of the most beloved and respected art museums in the world, known for its intimate galleries and stunning natural environment.

Ferry Voyage

We decided to take a day trip on the ferry. The day was spent walking around, doing some shopping, eating seafood, and looking at the ocean on the boat docks. Little did we know that you had to purchase tickets on the ferry before getting off, we were assuming that some one was going to come around as we have been using the train frequently. We only realized when we were waiting in line to get off and had to run back to find the ticket counter.
