I made a bunch of postcards of my own work and should be sending them out within the next week. If you would like one and I don't have your address (I probably don't) email it over. The images are a surprise, but they did come out pretty legit.
Email is gw@grahamwalzer.com
The You Are Beautiful campaign is really awesome. The message is positive. Their installations are well thought out and executed. And you can get free stickers from them. What more can you ask for?
Check the Videos Section, the last one is pretty funny.
My friend Shalini from RIT has a blog called Visual Cliche. I really have been enjoying the work she has been posting. The only problem is that she hasn't been keeping it updated. Someone let her know.
Last week (has it really only been 7 days?) we organized a slide show with my first photo teacher at RIT, Dan Larkin. Dan was the swearing, full head-of-hair man, that I wrote about in another post. He showed the ten of us his photographs from his journeys to Newfoundland. He has visited twice, for three weeks each time. The photographs were very interesting. The fact that Dan could talk about each piece was also really good. We all lounged around, ate pizza, and talked photo. It was great.
Dan likes using the slide show format to exhibit his work because he likes showing the work in a series and being able to talk about the experience. I was very surprised and glad when he agreed to present his work. He is a great inspiration and supporter.
Thank you Dan Larkin.
PS. Maybe if Mr. Larkin got his website up, you could all see his work.
The word busy is constantly being redifined in my life. Yes I work hard, but then I relax hard. Somewhere in there I need to blog. I am actually trying quite hard.
My class went on a loosely organized field trip to Niagra Falls and then on to Buffalo.
Meet Evan and Yong Chan. Gotta love 'em.
Keith Johnson was a professor that stopped in on one of our class critiques. He totally blew our class away. His words were honest, inspirational, and thought provoking. Oh, I like his work too.
I have no idea how I got on Michael Itkoff's email list, but I checked his stuff out anyways. At first I was a bit skeptical but many of the images I really enjoyed. I liked the Between Two Lakes Series, as well the Street Portraits. Check him out.
Today I did it. Finally! I finished my first zine. It's called Don't Say Goodbye. I have been talking about making a zine for years. There was always excuses and things that got it the way. But being so busy helps me get creative things done. While it is no where near perfect, its printed and tangible. Once its fine tuned I may put it up for a limited edition super cheap sale.
I know I know, if there isn't pictures, it really didn't happen. But, hopefully tomorrow I can take some photos and give yall a little preview.
