January 2010 News
|
Greetings,
2010 is off to an incredibly busy start, which is why my newsletter is a bit late this month. I spent last week in Boston printing new work and finalizing the details for my upcoming show at the Griffin Museum of Photography in April.
I've added four new images to the Thrills and Chills section of my web site and also changed the image sequence for the series. (The feedback I received from my portfolio reviews at Photo NOLA in December was extremely helpful to me as I edited this work last week.) I invite you to look at the work and let me know what you think.
Next month will be spent working on an new project which I'm fired up about and will announce in February newsletter. I also plan on spending the next several weeks researching and photographing subjects for my elderly animal project. But first I wanted to take a few moments to share with you some recent news. I hope you all are doing well and I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for reading!
Warm Regards,
Isa
