It is a particularly personal pleasure that Athens Street from the Crappy Negatives series has been included in Departures, the Cape Cod Museum of Art's annual international show. Memories begin with all the time I spent snorkeling on the Cape as a child. College summers as a seafood cook at a very good restaurant left little time for much else though, except partying. And I ate what I cooked every night. The years I lived in Boston meant many a photo excursion here year-round. Also the few seasons I spent as photo director at a Ptown gallery did allow for a short walk to MacMillan Wharf for what may be the best fish sandwich on the Cape. Love this place in early spring! And I’ll be sure to finally catch a show at the Cape Playhouse sharing its location with the museum when it’s time for art pick up later in July. Also, the artists on YouTube: Departures Exhibition - Gallery Talk.

Glad to have a good reason to return to an old favorite photographic haunt for the Marblehead Art Association's Variations 2024 national exhibition. Maria's from the Boston Color series is included. An imposing colonial Georgian facade overlooking the narrow winding lanes in the old port greeted reception guests to this popular annual show. Inside the bustling crowd tread old wide planked and often uneven floor boards, climbing elegant stairways to two more floors with multiple galleries of art in this large exhibition. The energy sparked an imagination for perhaps earlier centuries of grandeur in the King Hooper mansion. And at the top I particularly appreciated the window views of juxtaposing roof lines with jumbled angles and heights that followed the topography down to the harbor.

Something different, and a surprise too as my Lighthouses of the Mid-Atlantic Coast was first published nearly twenty years ago. The US Postal Service asked me to be master of ceremonies for the First Day of Issue Ceremony of the latest in its series of lighthouse stamps at Navesink Twin Lights in New Jersey. It was such a pleasure as well to return to the breath-taking view over the entrance to New York Harbor from the Highlands.

"Until recent times, art expressed grander values than commerce and celebrity. Delphic oracle, Celtic bard, African griot, aboriginal orator: all used word and movement, color and craft, to bring wisdom from the spiritual realm to their communities. All expressed connection between humanity and something beyond humanity, through their art...
Black Earth Institute supports the artist as prophet and visionary who helps create a society attuned to earth's rhythms and to the rights of all people."
