and now we wait.....

I recently submitted a grant proposal to the Annual CAAAP Grant, from the group Chicago Alliance of African American Photographers. I never applied for a grant before so I figured this would be good practice and also a great opportunity for me to work on a new body of work. Thankfully the executive board gave us some tips for writing grant proposals, but I also found a wonderful resource here that helped me complete my proposal. You can check it out here 

so now that I have my proposal in, I am sitting back praying and waiting.
Wish me luck!

"Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish"- Steve Jobs

“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”- Steve Jobs
RIP Steve Jobs 1955-2011

I posted some thoughts on Steve Jobs on my Tumblr page. You can check it out here 

I was happy to hear that when Steve made his transistion he was surrounded by his family. This made me happy because as much as Apple products have been apart of my life, I never thought of his personal life. God Bless Steve and his family.

Where I'll Be....... Jonathan Chapman at the Apple Store

If you are in Chicago tonight, I would love for you to stop by the Apple Store in Lincoln park to listen to Jonathan Chapman discuss his body of work and working with Motion. Alot of photographers are becoming directors and working with video, so the amazing people on the board with me at APA Midwest thought a "Discussion on Motion" was needed NOW!!

So I hope you can make it!! I think this would be great for all creatives! So come on by and say hello!
