I love vintage greeting cards. Any time I go to an antique store I am always on the hunt for them.
Instead of them just sitting in a drawer in my home I want to use them in a way that other people can see them and decorate with them.
I’ve created this frame which showcases vintage Christmas cards. It sort of reminds me of an advent calendar (but without the chocolate!).

Last night I attended the gallery reception for an exhibit I am a part of — I Spy With My Plastic Eye.
The exhibit pays homage to the plastic camera and my print “Childhood Memories”, shot with my Holgaroid, is one of many amazing images in the exhibit. I feel so honored that I was asked to participate in this show.
The exhibit is at A&I Hollywood and benefits WeSpark, which provides free cancer support services.
A fine art book sponsored by HP is available for sale, featuring all images from the show with shot details and artists commentaries. The book is $40 and you can purchase it by clicking here.
Here is Aline Smithson‘s foreword to the book:
I Spy With My Plastic Eye is an exhibition visualized by photographer Astor Morgan. The exhibit, brought to life by A&I, is a testament to the unique qualities of toy cameras. Each artist approached their imagery with a singular voice, using a variety of film types, techniques and cameras. The photographs in this book speak of gesture, of time passing, of simplicity and complexity, allowing for a wide range of expression. And all of this magic has been captured through an inexpensive plastic lens, part of an inexpensive plastic camera that inspires discovery and serendipity. And that is the best part.

ASCAP and America Scores teamed up for the fourth year to present its national songwriting mentorship program, ASCAP Songwriter Residency @ America Scores.
I was honored when ASCAP asked me to document the three days kids from Palms Middle School worked with animator Roger Blonder and composer Shawn Clement. The students teamed up with the educators from America Scores and wrote a group poem on the meaning of “Love.” Blonder worked with the students to envision, animate and record the digital imagery that was assembled into a poetry-based experimental film.
I created a slideshow with highlights from the three days I was there. You can view it below or click here.
The completed experimental film was put on youTube and there was three versions of the film (same footage, different music written by Shawn). I liked Version 2 best. Click below or here to view.
