Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You’ll find what you need to furnish it – memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey. –  Tad Williams

Watch for more photogravure images from Guanajuato throughout the spring as I prepare for my upcoming show.

Dancing (and more) in the streets

Guanajuato is full of surprises!

Last weekend within 200 yards of our house was a carnival, a marching band, a street car parade, and an Aztec ceremony of some sort in a church yard. For such a diminutive town Guanajuato can be quite a busy place! Continue reading »

Colorful Guanajuato

January 18, 2013 by Chris | 2 Comments

Kyle and I are back in Guanajuato, Mexico for our little winter warm up.

 

And I have to admit, our entry has been a little tougher this year. Not only because we are missing our friends Cheri and Allen desperately, but also because we both arrived with expectations this year. Both of us have pretty serious amounts of work that we would like to accomplish while we are here. I am shooting a new series for photo-gravure to be displayed at the Perlow-Stevens Gallery this summer, and Kyle has a lot of work to do on his pedal-steel guitar.

And isn’t it precisely these moments when life has a way of throwing a wrench in the system? Continue reading »

Beth Bojarski & Mark Winter

Before the year is up I want to introduce you to just one more friend. I purposely didn’t do it before now because he was busy doing really important work and I was afraid you would bother him. Plus, I didn’t want to make you feel bad about what you weren’t doing with your holiday! Continue reading »

Giving to the Arts

Inspired by all of the creative people I have been introducing you to but haven’t done anything about it yet?  –  How about donating to an arts organization!

 

Paul Tyler - Grants Director ArtsKC

In Kansas City? I can’t recommend ArtsKC, The Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City highly enough. And that’s not because they are one of the partner organizations that make possible the Artist Inc program that I am so passionate about, or that Kyle and I have both been recipients of the Inspiration Grants they award.

Family Dinner

December 21, 2012 by Chris | 1 Comment

As I was at the first of many holiday family dinner tables last night, I found myself thinking about how nice it is to share a meal with loved ones. It truly is one of the highlights of the holiday season. I was reveling in the love reflected back across the table, and also the great love and care the food was made with. And I realized that this feeling can often be what is missing from restaurant meals, despite the company you are with. You can share the meal with people you love, but if the food isn’t prepared with love, an essential element is missing. That extra ingredient is what makes these three restaurants so special. Our friends have turned their passion and creative gifts into places where you can sit down and relax and have a meal served to you with as much love and care as those prepared at home. And when you leave you feel nourished. Continue reading »
