DIGITAL
ARTWORK
During my last two weeks in China I have been working on a series of portraits
of students and staff here at BBI. I am planning on exhibiting this work at
TCC's Visual Art Center in the Fall of this year. In addition to making the
portraits I am having each sitter talk a little about their lives. I purchased
a small tape recorder for this purpose. I will include excerpts from this
statement with the each persons photograph in the exhibition. In addition
to using my medium format camera I am taking pictures with the digital camera
to post on this page.
