Gallery RFD

If you are wondering where I am this week well....
If you don't recognize that zip code (no one will) it's Swainsboro, GA aka. small town USA. My friend Andrea is the new co-director and Gallery RFD is glad to have her fresh spirit. Together they are doing amazing things in an effort to infuse art into in a community that is lacking. I'll be here for another week talking art, relaxing, and helping out where I can. In my opinion every town needs a gallery RFD... they are non-profit, they organize amazing community events, and they help local artists get noticed. Super noble.

Free at last

As most of you know I resigned from my position at Medtronic 2 months ago. I was a product engineer in hardware development and I was working on the latest devices that Medtronic has to offer. I know this sounds exciting to some but I haven't looked back since I left. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Really what corporate America has to offer is a trade - Money for Stress. This type of arrangement is not for me.

I have traveled all over America since and seen things that fascinate me. I went up to an amazing photography conference in Virginia called LOOK3. I stayed at the nicest farm house in Louisiana for 2 weeks while eating the best food possible. Now I'm in Denver staying with one of my best friends working out the details of my next projects. Life is so much better without a leash.

Photography has really picked up in the last 2 months. I have been getting calls and emails from people wanting all sorts. It's nice to do what you love.

Here's a sample.... :)
