This is the main reason why I have not gotten a chance to post recently: editing videos. Summer break is soon.

I had the pleasure of assisting my former Photography professor, Stephen Paré, with moving two 70 pound dancing-floor mats to the Blaffer Art Museum for Friday’s 35th MFA Thesis Exhibition. In the process, I recognized some paintings upstairs by my Drawing professor, El Franco Lee II.
Opening night performances will be by Jasleen Sarai (6-9pm) and Stephen Paré in collaboration with the Sandra Organ Dance Company (7:00pm and 8:00pm).
The 2013 MFA Candidates: Megan Badger, Christopher Cascio, Erica Ciesielski Chaikin, Fiona Cochran, Carrie Cook, Stacey Farrell, Elicia Garcia, El Franco Lee II, Jessica Ninci, Stephen Paré, Jasleen Sarai, Katelin Washmon.
I wish them all the best.
