Hiatus stunt is over

• Tweet

Well, let’s see….has it been that long? Uuh, yes!

This summer has panned out to be a busy one. No real excuses not to have been posting, I guess a break sort of happened. But things should start getting back on track now. While on this hiatus stunt I also did a lot less computer time, which I got time off from other blogs and emails. So I’m doing catch up and there’s so much interesting work to look at, which is great.

For the past couple of months I was teaching teenagers at F/Start, a photography camp in Montreal, where I enjoyed my time with the kids and my co-workers Kate Hutchinson and Roxanne Ross. I also got to take a vacation out West. We stayed a short time in Vancouver, then drove around the province down to the Okanagan for my cousin’s beautiful wedding and from there headed south to San Francisco. It was an awesome trip. San Francisco has some serious vibe going on, I wish we could have spent a couple more nights! But I did get the chance to catch the New Topographic exhibit at SFMOMA, which was really exciting. The exhibit was probably one of my highlights of the trip, along with hearing rattle snakes (for a first time) at a look out point in Washington and finding a town named Leggett in California. –  If you’re interested, I’ve started posting a couple of images from the trip on my personal blog.

For my personal work, I was in Toronto at the beginning of July for the opening night of Proof 17 at Gallery 44, where I exhibited images from my series Lost Faces along with artists Roger Proulx, Christophe Jivraj, Meryl McMaster and Karen Zalamea. And will probably be returning to the city this fall to check out the Magenta Flash Forward Festival, which I was selected as an honorable mention for this years Flash Forward. Lost Faces also made it’s way to Arles France for the Voies Off Festival, which the entire series was projected as a curated group show titled For Intérieur by Michel Poivert.

Now back, settled and happy, Slightly Lucid will be returning to normal posting on Monday. Till then have a good weekend and please, if you have anything to share like new work, interesting articles, news, books or exhibits let me know, send me an email or even a post card if you’d like!
