photography competition posted and bookbinding workshop!

At work this week:
I put together a flyer for the upcoming juried photography competition: PROOFS. It's coming up quick, entries due in a month. I'm looking forward to meeting and working with Alison Hahn of Paducah. She is a Professor and the Head of the Digital Photography/Imaging at WKCTC in Paducah. Her work has a delicately rich atmosphere achieved through her technique of layering multiple images acquired by a flat bed scanner. I love the idea of using nontraditional imaging techniques, I'm excited to meet her and talk shop.

Here's the link to the PROOFS Prospectus with an Entry Form. And the flyer if you'd like to share with your friends :)




I'm also going to be teaching a BOOK MAKING WORKSHOP next weekend!! I will be guiding the class step-by-step from beginning to end how to make a blank book using the Secret Belgian Binding stitch. It is a hard-cover book where the covers and the textblock are built seperately and then stitched together. It can lay completely flat and is a very sturdy structure.

GO HERE to get a Registration Form and even pay your registration fees ONLINE (that's right, we've finally made it to the 21st centur!)

Here's the wikipedia link that has a description about the binding style, and a photo example:



and another...





The blog I got those images from is pretty sweet too. It's called Studio B. Check it out.
