Mile 23. Photo by Lindsay Bianco

On Sunday, I ran in the Marine Corps Marathon for the third year in a row. Not only did I run my fastest pace for the first half, I took six full minutes off of last year’s time and a solid minute off of 2009. I met my goal and think I’ll stick with 10-milers and half-marathons for awhile.

I’ve also been very busy with the FotoWeek blog, returning as editor for the third year.

FotoWeek DC opens this Friday - be sure to make it down to FotoWeek Central, in the former Borders store, at 18th & L Streets NW. Check the blog for lots of good info on exhibits there and at participating galleries!

My work may now be seen at the Adah Rose Gallery, which just opened this month in Kensington, Maryland. In addition to a short portfolio of my work in the flat file, this emulsion transfer is on exhibit, along with artwork from many other artists.

Don’t forget about the artdc Gallery’s 12×12 show, which includes two of my transfers, and the WPA Flat-File exhibit at the (e)merge Art Fair coming up next weekend.

Some of my work may be seen in the Washington School of Photography’s latest show, The Contact Sheet, opening August 12 through September 7, 2011. Unframed photos will be arranged throughout the gallery to resemble a contact sheet. Opening reception is Friday, August 12 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Next month, I will participate in Washington Project for the Arts‘ Members Flat File at the (e)merge art fair (which I applied to with my emulsion transfers and was rejected, sadface). If you go to (e)merge, stop by WPA’s room and view the portfolio full of work by WPA members. (e)merge will be located at the Washington Skyline Hotel September 22-25, 2011.

Thanks to gross hot weather, cold A/C, and a pretty bad cold, I finally compiled all of my writing links into their very own pages. Now, rather than hunting for a specific article, they can all be accessed through these links, also embedded in the bio section right above in the header, for easy future access.

All posts can be found on their very own page, sorted by date, with a link to the original piece, and will be updated as new ones are published: Smithsonian Studio Arts blog, DCist, and Examiner.

The FotoWeek blog is a little more complicated since there are so many posts, so just visit the blog to see the latest news.

As a Patron of artdc.org, artists get a few perks, like being in a show. The artdc Gallery’s Patron Show opens on May 14 in Hyattsville with a reception from 7 to 10 p.m. This all-media exhibit is a collection of the best work by supporters of artdc Gallery, and coincides with several other receptions and open studios in the Hyattsville Arts District. The show will run through June 5.

Due to popularity and heavy traffic, The Polaroid Retrospective II has been extended for another week at the Lamont Bishop Gallery. Don’t miss this showing of inventive photographs celebrating the iconic instant film. And, you can see my latest emulsion transfers.

And, if you haven’t gotten your own copy of the DCist Exposed Photography Show 5th Anniversary Magazine, they can still be ordered online at Magcloud or through Heather Goss, Managing and Arts Editor, DCist.com. I have several copies and plan on buying more - it’s that good!
