On Sunday 04/19/09, I donated a print of the photograph shown below  – “Untitled [Bike Rack/Storm Rolling In On Jersey Shore]” – to the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative.  My amazing friend Ms. Jade Floyd is on the board of this organization and tells me my print will be part of appreciation event for DC public school art and music teachers.

I’m very proud of this image. A few years back,  it was selected for a juried exhibition by Kathleen Ewing, a respected photo gallery owner in Washington who was Executive Director of The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) at the time.  I sell a signed, numbered and framed 16 x 20 print version of this image starting at $500 (the lower the series number, the higher the cost of the print).

On Monday the 20th, one of my Open Studio photo sessions was auctioned off by the Sitar Arts Center at their fundraising gala. The Sitar Arts Center provides young people in DC the opportunity to discover their gifts in the visual and performing arts.  My friend, the lovely Ms. Bessy Guevara, sits on the board of Sitar and gently twisted my arm to donate to a place she believes in strongly.
