John

This is my friend John that I met on the streets of Johnson City, TN. He and I hung out and took some pictures. He was an amazing model, he was very patient and understanding. This photograph is currently hanging on the wall at Johnson City Custom Framing. They were nice enough to mat and frame this picture for me. They had a customer some in a while ago and he knew John and was asking about him.

Mockingbird 2007

Yesterday I attended the Mockingbird reception at the Reece Museum. This literary magazine incorporated poems and art work from current ETSU students. The artwork for the magazine was juried by Adam Justice of the William King Regional Arts Center in Abingdon, VA. My photograph “Roan Mountain” of Roan Mountain was considered honorable mention. My photograph was published in the magazine and I received a $25 cash prize. I have an entire page dedicated to my photograph, “Roan Mountain”. This is the first time I have ever won money in an art contest. My work will be hanging on the walls in the Reece Museum until the end of the semester.

Student Honor Show 2007

I have had a photograph and a 3D work of mine selected for the 2007 Student Honor Show. Derek Guthrie, International Art Critic and Co-founding editor of New Art Examiner juried the show. Throughout the week my work has been hung on the walls of the Slocumb Gallery. This is the first time my work has ever been hung on the walls of a gallery. I didn’t want to submit just photographs because I wanted to see just how good my work is. Unfortunately I didn’t walk home with any awards but I was still honored to have my work selected by the jury.
