August 2018 Newsletter
It's been a couple months since I last sent a newsletter. I've had a fairly busy summer, and I'm excited to give you a few updates here.
As always, I appreciate the support and encouragement that comes from you following me along my journey. Thank you so much for that!
My goal is not just to create art through imagery, but also to connect with you in meaningful ways and to be a part of your own journey, as well. I truly believe art connects people across all perceived borders and lines, and it has the ability to bring us all closer together.
Please don't ever hesitate to reach out to me to provide feedback, thoughts, or comments anytime. My contact information can be found at the bottom of this newsletter.

2019 Calendars
Calendars for 2019 are now available for preorder. A sample of low resolution images can be seen on the web page I've set up for ordering purposes - 2019 Calendars.
The printed calendars will be finished on thick 130# pearl paper, which offers a subtle shimmer from natural minerals and organic pigments used to give the paper a spectacular pearl-like sheen. The calendars will be center folded, and the full open size measures 11" x 17".
Additionally, as a token of my appreciation, every calendar purchase will include a free 6x9 print of one of my favorite images from the past year, as well as a free postcard-sized calendar magnet randomly chosen from one of these three:

New Portfolio Images

Upcoming Publications
In October, the two images above will be published in a new IrishLight Collection book and exhibition, as part of my involvement with the 2017 IrishLight Project, created and curated by the amazing Irish Landscape Photographer, Peter Gordon.
Islands were the theme for the 2017 Collection, where 36 photographers, under the mentorship of 7 of Ireland's premier landscape photographers, created an amazing body of work across 7 various planned island locations, to capture a unique timeline of the Irish landscape over the course of one weekend.
The book will be launched and the exhibition will open at the CHQ Building, in Dublin, at 7 pm, on Wednesday, October 3rd.
To learn more about the IrishLight Project and to see the 2018 program, visit - IrishLight.
To purchase a 2017 IrishLight Collection book, visit - IrishLight Collection: The Island.
The book and the exhibit promise to be a stunning collection of amazing images highlighting the magnificent Irish landscape, as captured by 36 amazing advanced hobbyist photographers from around the world.
