The Second Piece In A New Photo Series Im Doing On Group Identity.More Info At Theproject Site.

The second piece in a new photo series I’m doing on group identity.  More info at the project site.

The seventh piece in a new photo series I’m doing on group identity. I decided to only include each person's name and chosen identities to keep each piece more simple. But, to give some more information, so far two of the portraits were taken in Chicago and the rest in Japan. Of the participants, one was Canadian, today's is Jamaican, and the rest have been American.  In two weeks I'm setting up at an international festival in the city of Minamata and am excited to have the opportunity to photograph visitors from places like Slovenia and Mexico in addition to local Japanese people.

I finished "Which 'Aesthetics' Do You Mean" just in time to receive "Draw it with Your Eyes Closed" in the mail. I really want to stretch my artistic process in 2014, so I can't wait to get started!

 A recent experiment with found images. 

I've officially submitted my re-contracting papers, electing not to stay for a third year on the JET program.  At the same time, I've printed out applications for four art residencies in Greece and am preparing to contact a public art organization in Bristol, England about a paid internship with them. After that, the plan's to resettle in a mid-to-small-sized American city with a good creative scene and a job that gives me the free time I need to realize various dreams. I am excited about all of this.
