You are invited Thursday, March 4th for an opening and book signing with Judith Fox. We are excited to exhibit two bodies of work by Fox: “I Still Do: Loving and Living with Alzheimer’s”, a powerful, poetic and universal portrayal of aging, loving, humor, mortality and hope, also the subject of a touching photographic memoir published by powerHouse.
The culture of cheap took hold a long time ago and we are now seeing the extreme results. Ellen Ruppel Shell’s excellent book “Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture” really covers the issue.

Last week I received an e-mail from digital apple juice which is an art focused blog network asking me if I was interested in writing for them. Of course I said yes so that means that the content created here will be spread quicker and over a wider network than we currently have.

Probably the most confusing and intimidating part of using the Zapplication process has to do with capturing and preparing your images for submission.
