I found a squirrel tail in the yard at my parents' house when was at home for Thanksgiving in 2008.  I hung it on the clothesline and took some photos, as one does. One of them will be in "Strange, Weird, & Unique" at the SE Center for Photography in October.  The show opens with a reception on October 6 and runs through October 28.

Latest show

3/7/2021

 
The Somerville Toy Camera Festival is one of my favorite shows to submit work to and I look for it every year. Because of Covid, the 2020 festival is virtual with three online galleries curated by the three jurors, William Franson, Alison Nordstrom and Lou Jones.  I submitted work at the last minute and was lucky to have photos selected by each juror - 4 total photos.  All of the work selected for this year's festival represents all of the characteristics of toy cameras, and absolutely none of it is crappy.  Please take a look at all of the work online!

My photos selected for this year's festival are below.
