| Seeing how much traffic has been on this blog lately, this may be an announcement to myself, but I was just hired by a second school here in Miami to teach two additional classes. This makes my total class load 4 black and white courses. I am very excited. I am wearing my excited face. |

2 things -
I had a fantastic time this past weekend at the Oxford Film Festival in Mississippi. If any of you are still making short films, please consider submitting them for the festival next year. My two favorite films this year were Kabluey and The Listening Project. Please check them out if you get a chance.

I just got word that I'm one of 5 finalists in the 36 Exposures Challenge.
They had over 100 proposal submissions, so it is a great honor to be a part of the 5 artists/photographers chosen.
I will post my proposal later, when I get on my other computer.
Now I am waiting for my roll of film and organizing my shoot.
Here's a blurb about the challenge:
"THE RULES:
Stage One ~ The Idea:
Write a short (up to 100 words) blurb about an idea, concept, theme, or project that, using a film camera, you think you can shoot 36 photographs of. We also ask you to indicate a preferred 35mm film from the following list (although we are open to alternatives, but unfortunately not medium/large formats):
~ Kodak Portra 160VC
~ Kodak Portra 400VC
~ Kodak Portra 800
~ Kodak BW400CN
Keep the blurb short and simple, and since this will not be graded as an essay, don't fret over grammar, punctuation, or style. We are looking for intriguing ideas that fall into the same general subject matter criteria as any submissions to FILE magazine, not the next Susan Sontag. If you are unfamiliar with our criteria, refer to the Submissions page for details. (You will also want to read the details of Stage Two, which follow, as they may effect how you craft your idea.)
Five people will be chosen from the submissions and move to:
Stage Two ~ The Images:
The selected photographers will each be mailed a 36-exposure roll of film that they must use to complete the idea, concept, theme, or project they described in their blurb. They will have roughly two weeks to complete this task (no later than January 31), and when they are finished, they will mail the roll of film to FILE Labs™, where our Lab Chimps will process and scan the photos. The negatives will be returned to the photographers at the end of the contest. Ownership of all images is retained by the artists, as described in our Disclaimers and Weasel Words. The entire roll of images will be presented in a slideshow in the order they were shot, and selections from each of the final galleries will also be featured on Flak Photo. Our esteemed Editorial Board will judge the final work, and fabulous prizes will be awarded."
