Mai Thao: Fairview, MO

Here's a few highlights from the Senior Session of Mai Thao (say it like "towel".) I love Senior Sessions! These kids are fun, energetic and easy to work with; they have awesome outfit variety and they're game for anything. I really love to see the surprise on their faces when they come back and see their portraits, and they're like, "WOW! Do I really look like that??" and I'm like, "Yeah. That's you." Word of note: Book your senior session with us by Valentine's Day, and we'll put your name in a drawing to win a free iPod shuffle. Odds are determined by how many '08 Seniors book between now and then, so yeah, you might actually win. We'll post the winner on our blog. As if you needed an excuse to have incredible senior portraits taken at Calotype. :)

Photo Exhibit at Books & Books, Coral Gables, Florida

I am very pleased to announce that 24 of my photos (a mix of of landscapes, still lifes, and abstracts) will be on display 7 - 31 Dec, 2007 at Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida. For those of you in the area with an interest in my work, please stop by for the opening of the exhibit on Friday, December 7, from 7 to 10 pm. Since Books & Books also has an in-house cafe, there will be ample - and free - (courtesy Dr. Rosa Abraira) munchies and drinks! :-) This wonderful local bookstore was founded by (current, and two-term, American Booksellers Association president) Mitchell Kaplan in 1982, and has since grown to become one of the best known and well-respected independent bookstores in the country. I am honored, and humbled, at having been given this rare opportunity to display a few of my works at this venue.
