I'm very happy and excited to announce that I've recently become a member of ArtPhotoArt, a fantastic studio and gallery in Bushwick (that's in Brooklyn for all of you non-NYers). It's an outrageously affordable option for photographers that need a studio space and access to basic equipment.

But what really sold me on joining was the sincerity and passion of ArtPhotoArt's founders--Patricia Maldonado and Ryan Bevilacqua. Patricia and Ryan spent two years running Loft594 and bring their experience and knowledge of the Brooklyn art scene with them, recently curating a show featuring artwork inspired by the borough, "My Muse, Brooklyn". Follow ArtPhotoArt on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for news about future events and shows!
Hey, that's my picture and name on the Members page!
So what does this all mean for me? Well, it means I am more available for portraits and studio work! Need some new headshots? Want to take a family portrait to send grandma and grandpa back home? Contact me with details and let's work something out!
This also means that I will hopefully be able to pursue some ideas I've had written down forever. I think my early New Year's Resolution will be to complete one of these projects and share it with the world before 2016 comes knocking. Who knows, maybe I'll even finish two projects. Whoa, I know--ambitious. ;-) And yes, I just used an emoticon there. Deal with it.
If you want to collaborate or have had a burning desire to get a project rolling, I'd love to hear about it. TIS THE SEASON TO GET CREATIVE, FA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!
