I will be presenting an evolution of my Motion Studies series that I call Motion Studies Dissected at this exciting fine art photography festival in Kyoto. It’s been a while since I had a solo show and this series is evolving so I am especially interested to bring this new work to Kyoto. I exhibited at the KG+ festival last year and had a wonderful experience. There are many shows, big and small, tucked into neighborhoods throughout the city.

Kyotographie and KG+ (official satellite event), now in their 8th year, form the core of a month of photography in Kyoto, Japan, running from mid-April to mid-May. 

In addition to a theater, there are a few galleries in this historic building — here are the other artists who will be exhibiting at this gallery (but not the same week I am exhibiting):

• Ms. Kazayu Natsuike, photographer (also 2014 KG+)
• Clément OUVRARD (painter, mixed media)

4 Fundraisers

I am involved with a number of current and upcoming fundraising events. Please join me in supporting these wonderful organizations.

BAPC’s fundraiser for the African American Arts and Culture Complex

9/17-10/11: I will have 3 Interface images in this online fundraiser.
Spurred by the re-energized racial justice movement, BAPC has had numerous discussions about how they as a small arts organization can help dismantle systemic racism and promote racial equality. While they plan longer-term efforts, they’ve begun by backing a terrific arts organization in San Francisco that supports Black creatives, the African American Arts and Culture Complex (AAACC). BAPC started with a donation to the AAACC, and to raise additional funds they’re planning an online sale of BAPC members’ photographs at very affordable prices, with 100% of proceeds to be donated to AAACC. Tune in at BAPC.photo.

Jimmy in Saigon Movie Fundraiser

I will have a few framed panoramic photographs in this online auction.
On 9/26 from 3-4:30pm PST, Jimmy in Saigon will hold its first-ever virtual fundraiser. The event will feature a conversation between Director Peter McDowell and Executive Producer Dan Savage, moderated by Hollywood producer Helen Estabrook,  a brand new clip from the rough cut of Jimmy in Saigon, as well as various musical performances. There will also be a silent auction of original artwork, gift bundles, online services, and more.

I will have a couple of panoramas in this online auction.
