Photo news:

December 14, 2007 - January 9, 2008 marked my first solo photo show at a trendy bar in Cleveland's artsy Tremont. The show was fun to do, and successful!

A picture of my bird, Ichabod, made it into a local 2007 calendar.

The calendar benefits local animal shelters. It comes out every year because of Dick Goddard and FOX 8 news. They sell at NE Ohio Discount Drug Marts.

The picture shares the cover, and the month of July. Click Here to see it :-)

I seem to be doing pretty good with Parade. Click Here to see my most recent picture chosen for publication by them.
