Previewing Amococo

I was invited by the Ann Arbor Summer Festival to attend a media preview of the Amococo installation, which is being featured as part of this year’s Top of the Park. I was going to put these sneak-peek photos on my Facebook page, but unfortunately Facebook’s image compression made these...

Announcing PLAY.SPACE

I have barely caught my breath from last year’s Summer Festival and here it comes again! But truly, not a moment too soon — we’re ready for warm summer breezes, and more than ready for hangin’ out with fellow Townies at Ingalls Mall. And this year’s Festival line-up has us...

Ann Arbor Summer Festival 2009

Breathless! That’s me after shooting 16 days (out of 24) at the Festival. This is the first Festival out of the past three I’ve shot where there wasn’t a performance in the sky above Ingalls Mall. I don’t mind admitting that performers such as Strange Fruit and Heliosphere can make it...

Ann Arbor Summer Festival 2008

The 25th anniversary Festival’s “Top of the Park” featured aerialists, combat acrobats, blazing-hot performances, and dramatic storm clouds. I was running around like a kid in the world’s awesome-est candy store, trying desperately to document it all. When the curtain finally came down on this year’s Festival, and I at...

outside.IN: Artist Reception

Last night’s reception was fantastic! Just having my images exhibited is a thrill, but having an artist reception? It blew my mind. I was literally speechless after Robb Woulfe’s beautiful recounting of how I started working with the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and of his reactions to my photographs. If...

Announcing: outside.IN

When Robb Woulfe, the executive director of the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, approached me about displaying some of my Festival images in the Power Center lobby, my exact response was “Are you kidding me?” When I was running around photographing last year’s Festival, I figured the images would be used...

Ann Arbor Summer Festival 2007

There was so much I felt compelled to capture — such action-packed eye candy everywhere — right in front of me in stunning twilight. Each night I went home spent — i.e., flash cards full, and me exhausted! Photographic highlights included Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers, Strange Fruit (photographed 3...
