Summer 2019 Show Fundraiser

For the fall of 2019, I have been welcomed to have a show at the Rice Media Center at Rice University, in Houston. The Media Center is a very large space, with two floors and 20 foot ceilings. While I do have a modest research budget through Rice, to utilize the potential of the entire space will require some major creative undertakings. This has the potential to be my largest solo show to date, and I would like to push what I am capable of producing with this show.

I also would like to start sharing more of my photography, specifically the images I have from various adventures over the years. My hope is that I will be able to raise some money for my show in the fall by offering prints of my images, along with some other goodies. The funds that I raise will be put towards the following non-exhaustive list of supplies that I currently need: printer ink, rolls of fine printer paper, wall paint, wall vinyl + text, vinyl installations of images, possible human assistance in installation, basic tools and hardware, publicity materials, gas and maintenance for my almost 20 year old car while it drives back and forth an hour each way from my apartment to Houston, and so on.

In addition to covering the costs of the show, I will also use 10% of each item purchased to give a donation back to the site at which the image was taken. From the images I am offering, the following organizations will be benefitted from a purchase: The American Institute for Roman Culture, Badlands National History Association, Big Bend Conservancy, Capital Pride Alliance, Devil’s Tower National Monument, Fishlake National Forest, Florida State Parks Foundation, Friends of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Galveston Bay Foundation, Galveston Historical Foundation, Galveston Island Nature Tourism Council, The Georgia Aquarium, Glacier National Park Conservancy, Grand Canyon Conservancy, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, National Park Foundation, Niagara Falls National Heritage Area, NYC Parks, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, Save Venice, South Dakota Parks and Wildlife Foundation, Voyageurs National Park Association, Yellowstone Forever, Yosemite Conservancy, Zion National Park, Zion National Park Forever Project
