Check out this Wedding Announcement from the Northside Sun, which prominently features two of my photos sans-credit. I assume this has to do with their business model, since they have a couple of local studios as photographers/advertisers . . . perhaps if I took out a full page ad of a family in denim and black with an image of a gilded gold frame around it they would give me photo credit . . . OK, that was harsh . . . there is plenty of room in the Jackson, MS photo market for half a dozen Grillis or Kees style studios and those guys deliver to their demographic the product desired.

I’ve uploaded a gallery of the photos in the Ides of the South exhibit to Light and Glass. The folder contains one image that isn’t in the Starkville version of the show, and three images that were not in the Jackson version. I ran out of space in Starkville and had to cut “Jones Drugs” from the show, and I included two of my photos of MSU and a new shot “Yellow Bull.” All of the images in the show are 18″x18″ giclee prints, matted and framed in 24″x24″ frames. The prints are signed and numbered editions of 10 (all of the images in the show are also available as 10″x10″ editions of 30). Also, I included my artist statement in the gallery description . . . and I included the titles for once (normally I just leave the camera assigned file name out of laziness).
. . . by voting for my picture of an adorable, yet unfortunately named, weiner dog! Go to the Humane Society of Memphis’s Calendar Contest and vote for #275. (Sorry, but you have to scroll through the page, no way to directly link.)
Shea Arender, Elvis Tribute Artist
This afternoon I made my way out to a relatively new subdivision outside of Jackson to photograph Shea Arender in his home studio. Shea is an Elvis tribute artist (not to be confused with an impersonator), who will be performing at Hal & Mal’s on September 20. Tickets are available here. And you can view all of the images here.
This is another image that is just so new that I can’t decide if I should include it in the show or not. Maybe this one instead of the one in the previous post . . . or in addition to . . . or not at all; I’m having an indecisive day.
I can’t decide if I am going to put this piece in the Starkville version of “Ides of the South” or not. I feel like it works with the rest of the show, but it is so new to me, and I haven’t had months to look at it and think about it . . . any opinions?
I created this image for a show entitled Hyphenated-American that is going to be up for a few days around September 4, in the atrium at Rainbow. The show is being put on by The Institute of Southern Jewish Life.
There is a good bit going on in the image, so I uploaded a slightly larger digital file, so if you check out the full-size version you should be able to read/see everything.
