So excited that my installation 'Weightless' was accepted to @artfieldssc ! I can't wait to learn my venue and start figuring out how to install! #artfields #artfields2019 #artfieldsartist #bodypositive #bodypositivity #fatpositive #fatart #fatisnotaviolation #fatisbeautiful #installationart #silkpainting #fiberartinstallation https://www.instagram.com/p/BridYWhHlpQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=195l7baq8m3q4

Meant to have these posted way before today, but I’ve been sick for over a week and haven’t had the mental oomph to manage it until now. Anyway, here’s some more shots from #ArtFields2019. These were all shot with the Canon. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxiHV1bBTlv/?igshid=10tw6cvzu41cr

My #ArtFields2019 detail post No. 3 is actually all details. Nothing full-sized here. Also, fun fact: there’s part of a piece by @leemalerich, who was the professor in my very first college course, way back in 2002 when I was still a teenage art major. I wonder if she remembers me. 🤔 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxPsLABBeC8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q40dyjvxygde

Here’s the second set of my #ArtFields2019 detail shots. Okay, a couple are a little more macro than micro, but you still get it. More to come. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxL0OXbhZ-P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12dn5h8b1du25

#ArtFields2019 is over, so you KNOW it’s time for my annual “close-up out-of-context detail shots” posts. Here’s the first. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxGcVA6BIjX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sejs4kx0v1u4

So I don’t remember the exact location of this photo, but it was on the way back to Columbia from a weekend in the Tampa area with a girlfriend. We had turned off onto a fairly deserted exit to explore and to my recollection, the road we turned on led to a sort of cul-de-sac and there wasn’t much there except a real estate office, a dilapidated and unused general store and this Coke® machine out in front of the real estate office. Of course, I felt like we hit the jackpot with this non-functioning machine just out in the middle of nowhere and insisted we get out to take a picture. As we approached this miraculous find, the cat crawled out of the dispenser opening! It had been napping in there and crawled out, sat down and I caught it in mid-yawn, which made it a far better photograph. It is definitely one of my favorites and has been one of my most requested images. I’ve never been able to settle on what I should name this image. I’ve called it, “Ice Col,” “Coke Cat,” Or its current title of “Ice Cold Cat.” Recently, however, an old Coca-Cola® slogan popped in my head, and although it would make for a rather lengthy title, it made me laugh because it sums up the experience: “Things go better with…a cat.” What would you name it? #catsofinstagram #cocacola #colasc #coladaily #artfields2019 #columbiascphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw2BZLkFl0I/?igshid=13xounnp670h5
