The Print Exchange.

I love getting mail. I can do with out the junk but i love getting my monthly magazines, packages, and letters so when i came across Jai Tanju's blog, FILM POR VIDA, i was thrilled. Their mission is simple: Send a print, get a print. Photographers from all over the world send photo post cards to Jai. He in turn posts them on his blog and amazingly, you start to get mail from other photographs from all walks of life. What a great idea!
This October, at the Fuse Gallery in New York, Jai will be showing the 1400+ pieces of mail that he's received over the years along with a few photographs by fellow print exchangers. I feel fortunate to be able to show a piece in this special show. If you're in New York, please check it out. It looks like it's going to be epic

Galeria 4.0

I am really honored and proud to be showing some work in GALERIA DE LA RAZA's 40th anniversary show. The Galeria has a special place in my heart because i interned there while in college then worked there for another 4 years after. I meet so many wonderful people in the community and was constantly inspired by all of the art work in the space and in the gallery's store, studio 54.
I know i always say this, but the line up really is amazing. Please come by if you're in the hood.
