Untitled (Thrives in full sun)

August 22, 2020August 22, 2020 dig

I grew up here. This is a formative place, where I learned how to be, to imagine, and even how to cut a figure. I am grateful for all I was given, especially the encouragement to embrace the possible. I was placed in ideal conditions, in a bright and favorable position, that I shared with my siblings.

I blossomed. I became who I am, grounded and raised in a tended cultural plot. I was afforded a southeasterly view, of the world!? We could not help it–we have lived in other places, have known other conditions, have learned to participate in the ecosystem that we are in, and always remembered what dreams are for.

Here still works for me. It is a place of imaginings and comfort. It cultivates warm memories, and unfurled reflections. I prefer to thrive in full sun.

Untitled (Thrives in the Sun), 2000. A print available through the Sunny Project, Sun Pours Daylong, an exhibition and online print sale of Florida photography by Florida photographers.

Sun Pours Daylong runs from July 24 through August 30, 2020, and is on view in the Miami Design District; was organized by Gesi Schilling, Rose Marie Cromwell, and Adler Guerrier.

The clear burning light of the sun pours daylong into the saw grass and is lost there, soaked up, never given back. Only the water flashes and glints. The grass yields nothing.

Photographs for Purpose

June 27, 2020June 27, 2020 dig

Photographs for Purpose is a fundraiser supported by the work of 68 photographers, who have agreed to sell prints of their work to benefit four organizations devoted to racial, economic, and social justice in America. We hope to draw attention to these organizations, their causes, and the role that artists play in this Country.

In support of Equal Justice Initiative, Coalition of Immokalee Workers, Southerners on New Ground, and Planned Parenthood.

Organized by Kathryn Harrison and Michael Adno, Photographs for Purpose is inspired by similar efforts like The Sunny Project, Work for Workers, From Hartford With Love and Pictures for Elmhurst.

The sale is live from June 25 until July 31, 2020.
