The past two weekends, I volunteered to document the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall. This year’s themes were Mexico, Asian-Pacific Americans: Local Lives, Global Ties, and Smithsonian Inside Out. I love the Folklife Festival because I get to meet amazing people from all over the world and right here in DC. The festival brings together talented musicians, cooks, artists, craftsmen, and others to share and celebrate their culture. For those of you who couldn’t make it, here’s a taste of the festival right here on this blog! (cross your fingers – I’ve never tried using this gallery before)
My new website is up! I’m super excited to have a new face on the web and a new beginning for photographic meanderings. Better website = better photos, right? I think so. I hope you do too.
My favorite cousin, Gally Articola, did a stellar job making my vision come to life because she is so much more awesomer than I am at all that html stuff. Two semesters of web design and all I’ve accomplished is to appreciate the frustration of coding on a deeper level. Besides being a great web designer, Gally is an amazing artist. If you ever need a sequential artist, illustrator, or colorist, drop her a line. Seriously. She’s awesome. You can check her work out at her website www.beezooka.com and at your local comic book store. She’s restoring old Marvel comics for their encyclopedia, kind of like I do for old photographs.
Everyone come look at my beautiful photographs and their beautiful new home!
This is also a test to link this blog to my Facebook page, so let’s see if it works. I’m sorry if anything strange happens.
