A couple of months ago, I was interviewed for an article about Flickr, the photo-sharing site.  The article went live online this evening and will appear in the Saturday, 7 June 2008 edition of the Columbia Missourian newspaper.

Strangely, the online version is linking my name to this website rather than my Flickr site, so in case you are a visitor from the paper (hello!), my Flickr page is here:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/aabbbiee/

I am a fairly active member of Flickr, especially as far as the local community goes, and I really love the site.  However, I think the reason I’m included in the article is that I got in somehow with one of the journalism professors at the University of Missouri (which publishes the Columbia Missourian).  This is my second time in the Saturday Missourian in less than a year, both photo-related stories.  Not that I mind, obviously!  I love it!

In other news:

I received confirmation today that I will be involved with the July rotation in the community artist program at the Columbia Art League.  This means that I will have a display of photos up for a few months at a bank or church somewhere in the area.  I guess that could properly be called an ‘exhibition’, but I am not too worried about labels.  I am just thrilled to prepare and hang some of my pictures, and maybe have some people walk by them on a semi-regular basis.  Still no word on where they will be located, exactly, but I will not keep it a secret once I hear back.

I am hard at work on photos from my sessions last week and will certainly have something to show by the end of the weekend.  I’ll leave a couple of peeks here just to entice you to return to see the results.
