  • Colonial Meeting Houses of New England Book and Exhibition:

    Door, Danville Meeting House My Colonial Meeting House project has gained momentum in the past few months, and has become a proposed book and traveling exhibition. A new web site has been set up for the project: www.colonialmeetinghouses.com, where complete details can be found about the project. I am making good progress with the project, and am in discussions with publishers. I expect the photography to be completed in 2008. Limited edition prints are available for work that has been completed; click HERE for more details.

    The new Colonial Meeting House project web site was featured by Yahoo in their Yahoo Pick of the Day for July 7th.

  • Workshop on Stereo Photography October 13th:

    On Saturday, October 13th from 10 AM to 3 PM I will again be teaching a workshop on how to make stereo photographs with either a conventional or digital camera. The workshop is sponsored by Historic New England, and will be held at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury, Massachusetts. To register, please visit: Registration Information (scroll down to "Victorian Photography" on October 13th), or call: 617-227-3957, ext. 254. While the process of making stereo photographs is quite unrelated to my fine-art portfolio, it is a fun activity that combines both photography and history. This will be the third year that I have offered this workshop, which I do as a donation to Historic New England.
