Today Steve and I are going to Charleston for the Piccolo Spoleto juried art show. In Box XL received an honorable mention! I'm thrilled, of course....but not as thrilled as I am about my Decision Portrait Series! This week I finished two more: Living with HIV and Pro Choice. I also took photos and got signed model releases for: Patroit and Muslim. All of these are powerful decisions.
After I finish each piece, I send a photo and the "rough draft" of the blog post to the "model". This allows each participant the opportunity to add or change comments. This is also the time I ask whether their name and/or link can be included.....so....check back! I'll be posting again soon!
CONGRATULATIONS! This is well deserved Susan. I am anxiously following your Decision Series. I know it has some a powerful impact on all that view it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the juried show. Looking forward to the newest Decisions. I remain in awe of the whole project. And thanks for your comments....you brought to light some very funny things and the house was full of laughter for many minutes after reading them! ha ha I'm still laughing
