300!

I can’t believe my 300^th photo has just been posted on “Dogs Waiting for Their Humans”. My approach to the project has been quite casual so I must admit I have surprised even myself with the number. Big thanks to Carrie Miller for all her help.

Below is my original project statement:

“I don’t take that many photographs. The fact that this series even exists is still a surprise to me. The pictures were taken in and around my Brooklyn neighborhood beginning in the spring of 2007. I had started to notice dogs waiting for their owners to come out of coffee shops and delis. I also noticed how individually each dog was responding to this brief separation. I felt compelled to document this contemporary urban phenomenon.”

I just learned that my Woodstock '94 logo design will be included with other variations of the dove and guitar poster in an exhibit about David Byrd and Arnold Skolnick, who were the two designers for the Woodstock festival posters. The title of the exhibit will be Byrd/Skolnick: A Tale of Two Posters which will run from April 1 to June 10, 2012 at The Museum at Bethel Woods, which is located at the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival in Bethel, NY.

The Summer of 1969 I was a counselor at a children’s arts camp on Long Island. I had been hearing a lot about the forthcoming concert in Woodstock on the radio. A fellow counselor told me she and some friends were going to drive upstate to the concert and asked if I wanted a ride. I thanked her for her kind offer but told her that I was afraid it was going to be too crowded.

Summer Days and Nights

Jim Woodard, Managing Director of the Philip Glass Days and Nights Festival in Big Sur, just sent me this photo of him standing next to a sign featuring one of the logos I designed for the event. Thanks Jim.
