No Comments on Santa Monica Mudd Studio/Maiden America

Fellow Samohi alumni Coco Costigan-Daniels has reopened her Santa Monica Mudd Studio (in it’s old location no less!). Santa Monica Mudd is a pottery studio which teaches lessons and hosts birthday parties and other types of social gatherings.

I was honored when Coco asked me to have some of my fine art photographs in the studio space along with painters Gus Harper and Anne Ward Sures. I thought it only appropriate that some of my Santa Monica photographs be showcased in the studio. The gallery portion of the studio has been named “Maiden America.”

There is an opening reception on Sunday, November 8 between 2-6 for refreshments, to view the amazing artwork and to see the new and improved studio space.

Santa Monica Mudd is located at:
2918 Santa Monica Boulevard #2 (Just east of Yale)
Santa Monica, CA 90404

I was honored to be a part of Dream in Plastic‘s first gallery exhibit, Analog. The images had to have been shot with a toy camera.

Dream in Plastic is located in Beacon, New York and sells toy cameras (and lots of other gems).

The exhibit ended in September but I forgot to blog about it. Oops.

No Comments on 21st Annual ASCAP Film & Television Scoring Workshop with Richard Bellis

I had the pleasure once again to photograph ASCAP’s Film & Television Scoring Workshop. This year it was at Warner Bros. Studios.

I am so impressed by the talents of these aspiring young film composers. The highlight of the workshop is the evening when the participants get the opportunity to record their music with virtually the same resources afforded Oscar-winning composers.
