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 I had been somewhat less dumbstruck, I would have expressed how grateful I am for the extraordinary opportunities Robb has given me, and for how he and Astrid Giese supported me step-by-step through the process of producing such a large-scale exhibit. But, alas, I’m just a Brooklyn-born mumbler with a powerful aversion to public speaking.

One year later this little boy (now 3) is still flying.

Self-portrait with Rico in the mirror-like glass outside the Power Center. Robb knighted me “Festival Photographer”; and I wear my new media badge with pride, but also with an abiding sense of responsibility and a commitment to faithfully execute all the duties of that office (wink).

My thanks to everyone who came out to help me celebrate the special occasion. I hope those of you we missed last night will still be able to see the exhibit before it comes down on July 6. The Power Center lobby will be open to the public at the following times:

• Sunday, June 22: 4–7pm
• Tuesday, June 24: 7–10pm
• Thursday, June 26: 7–10pm
• Saturday, June 28: 7–10pm
• Sunday, June 29: 7–10pm
• Wednesday, July 2: 7–10pm
• Thursday, July 3: 7–10pm
• Friday, July 4: 4–10pm
• Saturday, July 5: 7–10pm

Kudos to Foto1 Imaging, who did a masterful job of printing, mounting, and installing the large-scale images. Many thanks to Morgan & York, who provided a most scrumptious selection of cheeses and meats for the reception. I also want to thank Dianne Widzinski, Shannon Rice, and Barry LaRue for their logistical assistance at the Power Center.
