A few months ago, I met with some photographer friends to plan an upcoming exhibit. We needed to choose a topic. I immediately thought of doing a series about the people I live with, because people look at me funny when I describe my house. The house serves as a home for more than just my immediate family. In it, lives: me, my wife, my baby daughter, three single women (one a single mom), the single-mom’s 1 yr old daughter, two dogs and two cats. That’s me and six females, or eight females if you count the pets. There are a lot of cars parked in front.
Bursting with eagerness, I proposed that the group show should feature the topic of the “Contemporary Family”.
Well, then my daughter Ruby was born, and I ended up taking a bunch of pictures of her, rather than pictures of my housemates. And, that’s my entry for the exhibit. Although, the piece does include some of my housemates, so you can imagine implied wacky community dynamics if you’d like.
All this to say, that the exhibit is this weekend on Friday and Saturday night. It will feature my contribution “Holding Ruby”, as well as images from the other awesome INvision members. The exhibit coincides with the Wheeler Arts Community open house, which is a wonderful bonus reason to be there. Here’s the info:
