Creative Quarterly Journal of Art and Design Winners, Issue 34-35

Published

Received good news this summer... one of my thesis Isolation images was chosen as a finalist for the Photographer's Forum magazine to be published their Best of Photography issue coming out this December. I submitted work to them for their previous issue but was not accepted so I am happy to be included in this year's issue... Still waiting to see if I've been chosen as a honorable mention or placed first through forth place.

On another note, I've decided to submit my thesis work to a few art shows on Oahu this fall put up by the Honolulu Museum of Art and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

I recently completed a project for Kokua Worms in Honolulu. You can see an image of the chalk board wall painting I did amongst the banner images on the home page.

Check out Kokua Worms if you are interested in worm composting.

Seventeenth and final session conducted for my Isolation thesis photo series... will be posting photos of my gallery show soon. It was a big success, lots of foot traffic and multiple visitors told me it was one of the best thesis shows Linfield gallery had hosted.

Sixteenth session...

Fifteenth session...I'm doing my best to get a wide age range within the photos...I'm not sure why the last four images uploaded with weird coloring...they're darker like the first two.

Bought glass and plexiglass from Lowe's today to make a small mockup with 8''x11'' paper... I found out that thick 0.5 inch plexiglass is pretty expensive as it only comes in really large sheets that I have to order. I ended up purchasing a .08 sheet which the salesman cut into 6 pieces for me so that I could layer them for a 0.48 thickness to try out...unfortunately the more pieces I include in the equation, the less clean and simple the overall appearance will be since I was hoping for. There was a 0.22 inch plexiglass sheet they had in stock which I may settle for if people don't think it makes much of a difference...I'm trying to keep things as cost efficient as possible since I'm contemplating showing around 8-12 13''x19'' images for the show.

This picture doesn't show the effect well. I'll bring the mockup to thesis critique on Wednesday to see what people have to say...

Fourteenth session... I'm planning on producing a small mock up of the final presentation of my photos this week, will post photos of how it turns out before Wednesday. I'm looking to do three more sessions this week to finish things off.

Eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth sessions...

Photos from my ninth and tenth sessions...Also did some experimenting with Luke and his daughter behind the glass...two of the close ups uploaded with slightly cooler colors

There's something very tender about them...with two individuals instead of one...I'll have do continue exploring this in the future.
