Sarah Meister, curator of photography at MoMA (Museum of Modern Art, New York), selected my "Diving Lady Motel" image for print in The Photo Review magazine and inclusion in The Photo Review's 2018 exhibition at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Sarah selected a total of 15 works from a pool of 1,900 submitted by 421 photographers from the U.S. and abroad. The show will be on view in the university's Sol Mednick Gallery, at 211 S.

Kat Kiernan -- founder and editor-in-chief of Don’t Take Pictures, as well as the director of Panopticon Gallery in Boston -- selected "Diving Lady Motel" for the autumn 2018 edition of the clever photography-centered project, The Curated Fridge, currently on view on Yorgos Efthymiadis' refrigerator in Somerville, Massachusetts, as shown here. In addition, Kat recently featured my "Vacant Victorian" image on Don't Take Pictures.
Earlier this year, at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachussetts, juror Richard McCabe, curator of photography at the Ogden Museum in New Orleans, included "Diving Lady Motel" in the Griffin's 's 24th Annual Juried Members' Exhibition. (A Boston Globe review of the show is here: https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/art/2018/07/19/griffin-selections-and-connections/uNEHdxEzqGxvlfMK1DYknK/story.html.)
And earlier, in Houston: Molly Glentzer, arts and culture senior writer and critic for the Houston Chronicle, included "Diving Lady Motel" in the Visual Arts Alliance's 35th Juried Open Exhibition at Houston's BLUEorange Gallery.
Elsewhere -- currently in Houston:
The Visual Arts Alliance's 36th Juried Membership Exhibition -- on view at Houston's Silver Street Studios, 2000 Edwards Street, through Saturday, December 8 -- includes two of my other "Roadside Relics" photographic prints, thanks to juror Laura Rathe, owner of Laura Rathe Fine Art. For the show, Laura chose a total of seventy-nine works in a variety of media out of 601 submissions.
Last, but not least:
If you'll be in Houston this Saturday, December 1, stop by Catherine Couturier Gallery, 2635 Colquitt Street, from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m., for the opening of the gallery's annual "Deck the Walls" exhibition and book sale. A couple of my “Roadside Relics” prints are up on the walls. (I'll be among the gallery artists who'll be there, so say "hi!") Other galleries on Colquitt Street’s Gallery Row also will have openings that evening, so there'll be lots of cool artwork to check out. Deck the Walls will be up through January 12, 2019.
Next stop: New Orleans! Louisiana! (More about this later!)
