“Schmap!!” now displays one of my photos to represent the Fairmount Horticultural Center on their East Coast interactive map [link].

Here is the image that was selected:

Since 1979, the Horticultural Center has augmented the variety of its botanical life by collecting seeds from Asia, Europe, and the West Indies. Permanent and seasonal plantings display over 2,000 examples of flora. The center is located in Fairmount Park. On the grounds there is a Shofuzo-a reproduction of a 17th-Century Japanese middle-class house and Japanese garden.

I’m a part of a print exchange featuring 26 artists. The theme is the alphabet, each of us being assigned a letter. I have D.

At some point, the letters are going to be on display at The Last Drop coffee shop in Philadelphia (more details on that later).

Also, a print exchange I was involved in last year (The 50 states) is going to be shown before the movies at Ritz theaters. This will be during the next month or two.

Amanda Jaffe, my associate photographer and studio partner, photographed all of the works for the Philadelphia Antiques Show loan exhibit with the help of another photographer, Sahar Coston. It was about 40 different objects in about 20 locations. I’ve been seeing a ton of billboards, flags and posters of her photographs all over center city Philadelphia. I’m super proud to have her as my partner! Great Job, Amanda!

Last year I photographed the restoration on Johnson House Museum. [link]

I just received word that the museum was proclaimed as an award winning preservation project! I’m glad I played a part in the restoration of such a great historic landmark!
