Photo updates to SPE posts...
Just found some photographs from the photo booth at the conference I attended in San Francisco back in March. The Society of Photographic Education always ends with a really rowdy party and our parties always either have a polaroid photo booth or something the like. This year it was sponsored by the folks at Capture Integration.

FREE!!! and terribly USEFUL!!!
I usually hate it when people ask me to buy useless stuff that I don't need. I am about to do the same, but the difference is that it is FREE! and very useful!!
Hey everyone! If you don't already use this, it is such a convenient thing to have. I am using it like crazy for my commission for the Sheldon's 100yr Anniversary. Accept my referral and get a free 2GB space for yourselves while helping me acquire some much needed space to use for my big project.
For those of you who are wondering, this is such a good way to post folders for folks you might be collaborating with, or for family/friends/clients you want to give files to, or to share with yourself between computers, and for back-up.
The site is called dropbox.com and it integrates well with Apples and PC.

In another life Francesca Woodman was my long lost sister...
Francesca Woodman
I am not sure when or where my fascination with Francesca began... I know it must have been close to my grad school days at Wash U. My studio-mate Lila Hays had studied under Francesca's brother Charlie at OU and I am certain that we must have mused over her work quite frequently. Nonetheless my own personal work had long since unknowingly shown undertones of so many of the things that I had come to later find so effortlessly depicted in this fragile young woman's images. I am riveted any time that her work is present in a discussion and I cannot completely identify why. Frozen in time, her issues are like so many that young and creative individuals' psychic landscapes that remain unresolved. Hers was particularly due to the fact that she tragically removed herself from this world at a very early age. Every time I engross myself in her work I see it as if it was made just last week instead of 30 years ago... an undeniably admirable quality in a photograph... but at what cost?
Interestingly enough, I just saw that the show of her work, which I narrowly missed at SFMOMA this past spring, has traveled to the Guggenheim in NY until June 13. I am actually having fleeting thoughts of hopping on a plane with my best little gal and going just for the show, if that tells you anything about my minor obsession here... Hmmm, how can I get out of surgery to go to NY???
More on the topic...
