I just gave the Cranes Silver Rag a whirl and think I found my new favorite paper. First of all, it gave an excellent range of tonality with the Epson Ultra Chrome Glossy Inks, and I have to admit that the finish really did make me think of my old fashioned Ilford Multigrade IV fiber based glossy.

Ooo, updates, fun!

I still am adjunct at A&M here in Normal Alabama, but there's talk of this position becoming full time. I like it here okay, but have to admit that this coming season I am going to be hitting the job market with a vengence. I have two sections of Intro, one sections of advanced, and then Friday night Art Appreciation. I put in for a digital class to be added to the books, but, typical of the south, everything... moves.... so... slow... Maybe next year.

I'm stoked about the work I've been making lately -- go look at my website if you haven't been there in a few months, it's all changed since June or so. I also got invited to be part of a show at Cazenovia College in NY -- first time I'm in something I didn't send in for. Websites can really help you out!

I have a new other job -- wholesale framing for a very tiny family owned business instead of the retail for the man framing job. I like it much better, especially since I am working out a deal with the owner to have free use of his 9600 in exchange for doing his photoshop work. That already means that in the faculty show I have a couple of brand spanking new 30x40 from my Lay of the Land Series (the tire tracks in the corn and one of a shopping cart that is not up there yet). I also have a tight grid of 4x5 contact prints of the Stick and Stones stuff -- thanks to my friend Matt for hanging it for me! There's no way I could have gotten 24 8x10 frames hung up one inch apart in a four foot wide space without some help. Where are the days of the guys from SCAD hanging your work up for you???

I was surfing the web and came across this very interesting youtube video. It is made entirely from Polaroid 600 instant film. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkq2Kq-LmJg

All these interesting updates going on. It is nice to hear. I'll just keep adding tidbits.

I am gearing up for a big first quarter here in Louisiana. I have 2 classes this term. 1) Lighting, which is the first of three that students take consecutively. So it is essentially a year long lighting course, which is quite exciting. This class really won't be like anything I ever took in school, essentially focused on control over an environment, no matter what it is. 2) Photoshop. I'm an old-hand at this class, so it isn't a worry at all.

Things are nice here. The school is set up nicely and the photo department is expanding and expected to be crazy. Joy, Frank and I will see to that. Keep your eyes out for talents looking at grad school, as we will be recruiting next year.

Well sounds like some of us from the 2006 graduating class are beginning to do things. That's Great! It also appears that everybody has come to the consensus that moving is one of the worst things to do in life.

Since everyone is in an updating mood here goes:

This is my last week before meetings begin and classes start on the 27th.

Rachel will be taking 2 German language classes this fall and is hoping to get a part time writing job at the local newspaper.

I have to restructure the 2 existing photo classes and create 3-4 new ones (which I have good ideas about already) to complete the program, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here are my ideas...

"Intro to Photo" (this is a general education elective as well as a requirement for majors, which we already have a few of!)

"Photo 2" (Primarily technical stuff, digital... photoshop)

"Photo History" (From the beginning until now in 15 weeks!)

"Lighting" (Still-life and portraiture, some indoor location work as well)

"The Contemporary Landscape" (I'm teaching this in a 3 week intensive semester in May and it is about landscape photography, outdoor lighting and so forth...)

and finally...

"Film in a Digital Age" (Focuses on the use of film, the students will learn to shoot and develop 4x5 film, 4x5 camera functions, scanning film, contact prints (we don't have, nor will we get any enlargers, at this point) and stuff like that...)

What do you guys think?

...and lastly does anyone know where I can buy "good" but "relatively cheap" 4x5 cameras? That is the one equipment snag that seems to want to cost a lot, and we don't have a lot, we have a little, but maybe that class will run next year or the following...

So here's the update on me and the wife: I got a job at Atlantic Union College. I'll be starting classes the end of August. I'm teaching Photo I, Photo II, Digital Imaing and Web Design. So that should be fun.

We moved last week. I hate moving. Every five minutes I ask Heather "Hon, do you know where my _______ (fill in the blank) is?" "Yeah, it's in a box somewere." Fun stuff. The married life is good, and I highly recommend it.

We are going to Thailand over Christmas break. That will most certianly rock. I just so happen to be a huge fan of Thai food (so is Heather), so I'm planning on some good eatin'.

Life is good.

Melanie and I are packing up to move to sunny Miami this next weekend. I accepted a job teaching for the New World School of Art in downtown Miami on an adjunct basis. We aren't sure how we are going to pay for rent, yet, but at least I can update my reusme!

I'm move-ed...

And like the shirt says, I am keeping the dream alive. Here I am after unloading my stuff in Louisiana. You're probably thinking, "Damn, Jay must have moved a ton of dirt from the North to the South." Well, you would be right. And why not? Didn't our ancestors also bring earth from Europe to the Americas? Don't answer that, just nod your head and agree.

Anyway, I'm here and settling in nicely. My house is about twice the size I thought it was, so if anyone would like to visit, I should have no problem housing the entire SCAD Grad crew with ease.

I'll keep you all posted on my upcoming "Marshy Home Companion" website.... Beware.

Floating Art
So there was this artist, Duke Riley, from Brooklyn who thought he would recreate the first American sub and float it out to the Queen Mary 2 and I guess see what would happen. I am not quite sure what to make of all this and would like to her some feed back on what you guys think.

An Artist and His Sub Surrender in Brooklyn
Here is the article. Check out the video too, there is a lady at the end who is kind of funny. Let me know what you think. Right now I guess you could call it performance art... maybe... but it seems more similar to when my guy friends made a potato cannon in high school...
