This evening (Monday, Dec. 22) from 4-8 p.m. we are having our Holiday Open House.  We have new work by Gorjus (including the piece above), new glass pieces by Jerri and a few new photos of mine.  Tons of great last minute gifts: Sandusky Reviews, glass jewelery, matted photos, and more!  Stop by and enjoy some holiday cheer, and take care of those last few hard-to-buy-for people on your list.

This year we went with a corner booth, it is a slightly different setup than normal, but so far the response has been good.  We also added five more lights to the setup; you can never have too many lights.

We are setup right across from the main entrance, come check out the show and stop by to say hi.

Not only has Jerri made a ton of new jewelery, a lot of it in matching sets, but she also has some great new kiln formed pieces, like the ones below.

My life has been a little heavy on the Elvis lately.  This Elvis is only 12 weeks old, and is destined for holiday card fame.

This is a piece by Anne Campbell, one of the owners of Artichoke, for whom I just finished up some “slides.”

A couple of images from a newborn session that I’m working on laying out in a birth announcement.

Edward St. Pe’ over at WLEZ was nice enough to let me borrow this Unidyne Mic for a shoot with Shea Arender.  Below is one of the images of both . . .

This is one I’ll be working on for weeks, but I always want that immediacy of reward and have to process at least a couple of images . . .

These are all from a new series I have been working on for the last couple of weeks.  I’ve been lucky enough to get critical feedback from a few good friends, which is essential to me.  The images contain some hand drawn segments, mixed with patent drawings and overlapping exposures of cameras; and all of the patent drawings actually relate to the antique cameras in the image.  Unfotunately, I don’t think the images work very well small, so these will probably never be printed smaller than 10×10.

A casual shot from a Senior session.  (I am amazed how many people hear that and think I am photographing someone over 65.)  The outdoor shots, which I rarely do, were some of the mother’s favorites . . . perhaps I’ll have to do more outside work.
