NEW WEBSITE SOON!
Thanks so much to New Orleans-based Erik Kiesewetter and Rami Sharkey who are creating my new website through their incredible Post Medium system. They are dolls, and I am so thankful. New site will be up by mid-September and it looks smoking.
There are many updates with Where They At that will be posted on the new site. Quickly:
The opening of Frontier Preachers at the Soap Factory in Minneapolis was amazing. It was so great to have strong New Orleans contingent raging in the midwest.
We have partnered with Caver middle school in the Lower Ninth Ward where we will be programming 8-12 weeks of Bounce related workshops and events in conjunction with our opening at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. I have worked with visual arts programming in lowincome schools in Brooklyn over the past 2 years, so I am very excited to marry art and education in a neat and exciting way in the Lower Ninth.
Waiting to hear back on a LA Artworks Winter artist residency, fingers crossed. Thanks to Sklar Fein for his amazing recommendation.
Thanks to LEH for holding our hands through their grants process, and we have some funding coming through this Fall, yes.

I love American Analog Set, and I love frontman Andrew Kenny's new band the Wooden Birds. It was an honor to travel to Austin to photograph this group of super talented folks.

I recently returned from a trip to Austin where I shot new promo photos for the adorable Strange Boys, as well as Rapid Ric and Gerald of The What it Dew Family. See below.
I also had the pleasure of shooting the incredible New Orlean's artist Sklyar Fein. His Prospect 1 installation of "Remember the Upstairs Lounge" was incredible and heartbreaking.
While in New Orleans, I began working with my partner Alison Fensterstock on our Bounce project; here are images from the 17th anniversary party for Take Fo' Records. After many meetings, we have gained the support and/or partnership of Ogden Museum of Southern Art, The Neighborhood Story Project, New Orleans Airlift, Q93's Wild Wayne, Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities....We are elated.
