Should You Enter Photography Competitions? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I got this question from an artist friend last week in my DMs:“Once I have a few more pieces under my belt, I’m going to start submitting my portfolio to open calls and competitions. Got any wisdom to share on how to do that well?”And I realized I had more to say than would fit in a quick text. There are many benefits as well as real risks to doing it.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZSpM!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%

First of all, a wild and amazed THANK YOU to this community for all the absolutely human and generous response to my last post, where I showed up raw and vulnerable and was richly rewarded for it. The comment section is the type of world I want to live in.And now, in a continued spirit of play and experimentation — an update on my Work in Progress: POLIFÓNICA.IT IS DONE, Y’ALL.It is done.</str

The best camera is the one you have with you.We’ve all heard this. I fully believe this.“I photograph what I live,” is what I always say. For the last 10 years, 99% of my art photos are taken with compact little fixed-lens beauties that live in my purse — the Every Day Carry. The staged perfectionism of studios does not interest me. The technical intrigue of astrophotography is better enjoyed by others. To each their own pleasures.Capturing time and moments, taking samples of life — as a scienti

Safe.Today I woke up wanting to be free of this, and recorded this work-in-progess/behind-the-scenes video in one take — not over thinking it or editing it. Listen if you want to hear my voice:I am creating a massive work — ~2.5m x 1.15m piece called “Polifónica” for Make Art, Not War — an upcoming (September 10-27) arts and photo festival here in Zürich for which happen to be a cura
[Webzine] ESPAÑAAA: World Cup in Züri (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been awhile since I did a photostory on here, so thought I’d share some of this week’s World Cup excitement. :)For the Semi-Finals on Tuesday, July 14 between France and Spain, I went to Toro Bar here in Zürich (home of FIFA) and watched along with hundreds in the streets as Spain trounced France on their national holiday (ouf!) 2-0. The streets filled with celebratory smoke and chants and dance and cheers — much to the chagrin of the city’s always-on-time public transit and anyone daring t
