Kirk Crippens Review

Foreclosure. I found the work of Kirk Crippens to be amateur at best. Of the work that I saw, I saw nothing  in it which represented foreclosure and the outcome in which it represented. Some of the better work I found, were that of landscape photography then that of a statement on the downfall of our economy and its repercussions. The empty houses filled with nothing,  looked more like snapshots a realtor would take to show potential buyers the amount of savings one could keep in an investment of empty homes. His work (on this particular project) left me without thought and worse without emotion.

Tracey Snelling Show

I just got home from attending Tracey Snelling at The Delta Gallery. Amazing, I smiled the entire time. I am so glad I went. I really loved the show. I wanted to talk to her but she was surrounded by the same people for some time. I stuck around but because I was alone, one can only circle the room twice before it starts to get creepy.

The Neighborhood Shoot.

Just got back from shooting the neighborhood (to clarify - take photographs of). I made several mistakes that I have hoped to have corrected.  Going back after lunch to reshoot the neighborhood!

Friday Night Photoshoot

Im preparing to shoot (take photographs of) my Uncle Joe. He is very old, as his skin looks like used leather. He is blind, very blind.
