UPCOMING EXHIBITION

Hey folks, I just wanted to let you all know that 1lb Gallery in Winchester will be hosting my first solo exhibition of my fine art nudes during the month of December.  I am very excited, (and a bit nervous.)  The show opening night and reception is Friday, December 6, 2013 at the gallery, which is located at 29 N. Loudoun St. Winchester, VA.  Here is a link to the "upcoming exhibitions" page. http://onepoundgallery.com/category/upcoming-exhibition/

In addition, the current plan is to do a 1 night project at the gallery during the reception.  The project will be titled "The White Door," and the thought is to do a series of photographs of willing attendees, one clothed, and one nude, that will comprise the basis for a future show at the gallery sometime next year.  The corner of the gallery where the photos will be taken will be blocked off from the rest of the room to provide some privacy.  If there is anyone out there who has ever wanted to be a part of a photography exhibit, here's your chance!

Thanks in advance to Lauralyn Wilkins, who, in addition to being the owner of the gallery, is also a really great fine art nude photographer in her own right.  You can find her blog at:  http://www.biguglypix.com/?zx=2ac022534e2183e2

Hope to see many of you at the opening on Dec 6th!

Image of the Day: Dec 5, 2012

Taken June 6, 2010 on a stormy early summer afternoon.  Yesterday's weather was around 72 degrees here in Northern VA, and it made me wish we were heading into summer, instead of toward winter.  Featuring Rebecca Lawrence.  Hope you enjoy!

On Goose Creek, Sept 10, 2012

Scant days ago,
Summer, with oppressive demeanor held sway.
But the blustering storms, with gale, flash, and deluge,
have brought with them change.
Now, where tepid water flowed,
the cool rill plays across the rocks.
The breezes, no longer sultry,
tease the leaves with light fingers,
wafting lazily, and carrying with them smoke
rising from the pyre of Summer's storm borne flotsam.
And ashes, falling soft and quiet,
foreshadowing Winter's downy snow.

Images of the Day-The real seat of power.

I'm going to allow my more liberal political side show through along with these photos of the day, and say that I believe that women should have the right to decide for themselves what is best for themselves and their own bodies.  If a woman is in a relationship, I would hope that she would include her partner in making decisions that affect both of them.  If she is assaulted, she should have the sole decision making power as to the course of action that is best for her own life.  I don't believe that the government should be interfering with the personal health decisions of its citizens.  The women I know and who have worked with me to create my photographs are all intelligent, beautiful, strong, powerful people, who are capable of making their own decisions, and I think they are most definitely a representative sample of all women.  These photos were shot in 2010, while I was in photography school.  The model is Tiana.  Hope you enjoy!

Housemate Wanted to Share Middleburg Townhome



Housemate Wanted to share a townhouse in Middleburg.  $800/month, utilities included.

I am looking for a housemate to share my townhouse in Middleburg, VA.  Middleburg is located in southern Loudoun County, about 45 miles West of Washington, DC, in Virginia’s “hunt country.”  I'm located on the East end of Middleburg and walking distance to everything in town.  The space that is available is either an upstairs bedroom with windows and a closet, with a shared bathroom, or a basement room which is larger, no windows, a private 1/2 bath and a shared shower upstairs.  The townhouse is fully furnished with the exception of the available bedroom space.  I am divorced with teenaged kids who spend Wednesday nights and every other weekend with me.  The upstairs bathroom/shower would be shared with them when they are here.  Utilities including internet connection are included. 

A little more about me:  I am male, 43, non-smoker, no drugs, light drinker.  I am easygoing, very open-minded, fairly active, and enjoy sports, music, video games, and time with my friends.  I'm not a "neat freak."  I'm more of a night owl than an early riser.  I am a photographer whose primary artistic focus is the human form.  I mostly work from home, and I have photo  space and lighting equipment that would be available for my roommate to use.  I used to be a cop, which means I'm pretty security conscious and have to be comfortable with the people I allow into "my space."  I don’t have pets right now, and would prefer not to have animals in the house at this point in my life.  

What I’m looking for in a housemate:  
A few things that I would ideally like to find in a housemate:  Someone who is easygoing, open-minded, and creative, with a relaxed attitude about the human body, who has fairly similar views about life, and who is fun to have around.
A few things that are really important:  Respect for each other's belongings, paying the rent on time every month, a willingness to help keep the house reasonably clean and share the chores, and an ability to work through any issues that may arise in an intelligent, adult manner.
And lastly, because I have kids who stay with me part of the time, there are a few “must haves” for a housemate:  No drugs, no felony arrests or convictions, no restraining orders or history of violence, no alcoholics, and no smoking in the house.   
 
The space is available immediately, if you are interested, please call me at 408-892-5497 or send an email to tjk20118@gmail.com and we can arrange to meet in town, and if that goes well, I'll show the house.
