The IOWA REVIEW

Fall Issue of The Iowa Review, cover image by Sandra L. Dyas

THE IOWA REVIEW'S FALL 2014 ISSUE IS ON THE STANDS. My photograph, The Yellow Chicken Car, taken in Los Angles, CA is on the cover and back cover, too. It looks like a great line-up of out-standing fiction, poetry and non-fiction.

PICTURING MAQUOKETA - Photography Workshop 2013

This workshop was held in the summer of 2013 - I know this is late! The workshop was held on two consecutive Saturdays at the Maquoketa Art Experience, Maquoketa, Iowa. I am from Jackson County so I really was happy to conduct a digital photography workshop there.

Sean Preciado Genell, After the Fact

Sean is a talented man. He has a new book coming out this year! I was lucky enough to make this portrait of Sean last year. Sean is part of my on-going series, Lost in the Midwest. My work was recently shown in the 2014 National Prize Juried Show presented by the Cambridge Art Association at The University Place Gallery in Cambridge. James Welu, Director Emeritus at the Worcester Art Museum. I think we have an author photo out of this deal, too. Sean expressed to me that it was really hard to get a good picture of himself....I have to disagree.
