I am currently exhibiting a photo of mine at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. This is the museum that I have been interning at since February, and now I am currently teaching children's classes on the first Saturday of each month. The show has been up since Sunday, and just today someone came in and purchased my photo, Christianity Insanity: One Way, for $100. This is the first photograph that I have sold, and I am very eager to be more aggressive about selling future work.
It's always encouraging to hear positive feedback from strangers about my work. Even if I can't get positive feedback, constructive criticism is always encouraged as well. In this case I was able to speak with the person purchasing the photo, and she had such nice things to say. To know that I have reached someone with my work fuels the fire within me to keep making art!

Im a big fan of this picture! As a Christian myself i believe that Jesus is the only way. I think the juxtaposition of the cross and the "ONE WAY" sign does a great job of getting that point across. But this piece also brings up one of the biggest problems within the Christian community..segregation. We divide ourselves into denominations and shun others. This image kinda suggests that the baptist way is the only way, while saying the presbyterian and the methodist ways are wrong. This segregation happens when people obsessively translate the bible and twist it to the way they like it. Very strong picture though...would you sell a copy?
