Artron Exhibition Shanghai, China June, 2016

I'm very happy to announce another exhibition in China. While my Ghost Dance project is alive and well, it's still a work in progress - 2017 will be the Ghost Dance unveiling. For now, I've spent some time and put together four plates (Tintypes) refelcting some personal moments/events in my life.

The China Trip: 2014 Video

Here is a seven minute video I put together about my trip to China. I was invited there to open a branch of The Collodion Collective. It was a wonderful time! So beautiful and the people were amazing. I hope top return later this year. 

 

China Day 1 - November 25, 2014

Greetings,

Since ALL social media is banned here in China and I don't want to mess around with VPN software, we're going to send an email a day to the people on our "interested" list. If you do not want to receive these, please let me know and I'll take you off of the list. No problem.

In a word, China is amazing. I know it sounds trite and cliche but it's true. I would encourage anyone that's adventurous and can handle long hours in an airplane to visit. We are lucky, we have people here that are taking great care of us.

Above are some photos from today.
