Flash Powder Retreat

This past July, I was invited to a photographer's retreat in Highlands, NC by the Flash Powder Project duo David Bram and Jennifer Schwartz. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed my time there talking about work, getting to know a wonderful community of photographers, learning important dos and don'ts of the business, and just goofing around.

If you have a sec, check out Flash Powder Projects. David and Jennifer are both wonderful people who really want to help artists get their work out there. You can find links relating to David and Jennifer's efforts below:

Here are some of the highlights from Highlands, NC.

Work in Progress

Inside our living spaces, we collect, we organize, we squander—our things, our memories, our leftovers. In Contained (title TBD), pieces of Tupperware are removed from their everyday context, merging with, protruding from, or floating in the space around them. Unstable and unfamiliar, the images become a metaphor for our often-misguided ideals, our lack of control, and our need to fill the empty container with a fantasy.
