Open Studios Update

The Call to Everyone @ City Wide Open Studios

As the body of work for The Call to Everyone continues to grow, I am forever grateful to all of you for your participation in this project.  The three main points that I keep referring back to are: 

1. Carry it with you (and you do now.  With cell phones you don't have to build a new habit.).  

2.  Spend time throughout your day seeing (how many times have you wished you had your camera on you?).   

3.  Get it out of the box (now that the photo's been taken, share it).

We are often stressed, often over-scheduled, often hard on ourselves. This project is intended to give you a distraction; a pause in your day that reminds you that there is beauty all around you. As we have worked together on this project, I hope that you see it as something I am giving to you, just as you are giving to me. Thank you. It has been an amazing experience.

Looking to Register for the Scavenger Hunt?

August 18th1:00 at the Ives Branch of the New Haven Free Public Library

Form teams and bring along a cell phone for a fun way to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the New Haven Free Public Library.  We will be using card catalog cards as our clues, the library as our muse.  

To register, send an email to calltoeveryone@gmail.com with the subject REGISTER

Looking forward to a fun event!

It's time to grow the show again!

New Haven Free Public Library turns 125 this year, and to celebrate, let's put on a huge show! I'm looking for more submissions, all summer long! Look for workshops to improve your cell phone photos, printing (if it's still that hurdle you need pushed over), scavenger hunts (form your teams), and your work on display, beautifully. Click the link above for instructions, and let me know in the comments if you need a hand.
