Art Alliance

My advanced photography student, Angela Duncan received second place for photograph No. 6 from her series titled, Inside in the annual Stephen F. Austin State University Art Alliance student contest. The show was curated and judged by artist Roger Shimomura.

I created a topic specific course this Spring semester covering Domesticity, Self-Portraiture and Performance. Angela investigates through photography her evolving relationship with her husband while successfully incorporating all three themes in to her new and challending body of work.

The show runs April 7-12, 2008 located in the Art Department Front and Back Galleries.

I Love Vagina????

Today, I had my photography students meet me at a friend's piece of land here in East Texas for an in-class landscape assignment. Following the field trip I headed back to campus for my next class. I ended up following one of my students back.....and this was seriously written on his car. I realize he's in college, male and I could continue to list all the reasons why this might be excusable. I'm surprised in the ultra conservative town we live in he hasn't been pulled over. Lesser crimes haven't gone unpunished. At any rate, it was something even I was shocked to see.
