New Book! (OK, not mine, but I’m in it!) debuting at Denver SPE conference 3/14
Angela Faris-Belt is a new friend, who I met at last year’s Society for Photographic Education conference, and has her first book coming out! The Elements of Photography: Understanding and Creating Sophisticated Images (Focal Press!), is going to have its coming out party at this year’s SPE conference in Denver. The shindig is Friday, March 14th at the The Art Institute of Colorado’s John Jellico Gallery. There’s an exhibition of work from the book up too, and I have one image there.
I haven’t gotten my hands on a copy yet, but I just got the PDFs of my pages – I’ve got a bio, and 4 images! It looks great! Congratulations Angela!!!
The conference itself looks fabulous this year; the theme is “Agents of Change: Art and Advocacy.” The speakers, panels and keynotes look much better than other years I’ve gone; I might just have to get up early and make sure I get to panels all day!
The conference also has all that other great stuff: shmoozing, informal and formal portfolio reviews, a booth area, photo gallery shows all over the city to see, openings, parties, keynote talks, etc. This is how you get your work out in the world, everyone – you gotta show up!
See you there!

ps – I’m in New York now for Krappy Kamera heaven at Soho Photo. Giving a talk tonight! Report and photos when I get back to Seattle.
