Bluewater Shore, Limited Edition Artist Book, 2017, Douglas Stockdale
While earlier discussing my experience as a portfolio reviewer for LACP a couple of weeks ago, what I did not include is that a portfolio reviewer I had the opportunity to do a little networking with the other portfolio reviewers. Emphasis on “little” as the folks with LACP kept us very busy and not a lot of free time. Thus I had some very brief discussions with Elizabeth Avedon (who featured Pine Lake as one of her Best Photographic Books for 2014), Paula Tognarelli, Executive Director of the Griffin Museum of Photography (MA), Crista Dix, Founder/Director of wall space Gallery (Santa Barbara, CA) and Jonathan Blaustein who provides book reviews for APhotoEditor and NYTimes LensBlog.
During my discussions with Blaustein, I had also provided him with a review copy of Bluewater Shore as an example of some of my current work. Thus I am very honored that he included Bluewater Shore in his recent recap of the LACP portfolio review events on APhotoEditor today. I must admit, I really like the title of his article: Best Work I saw at the LACP portfolio reviews (part 2).
Thus supporting my theory that you never know when a networking opportunity may occur, but it’s best if you are prepared. It’s not a formal book review, but I really like it as this is some good press for this artist book. I also enjoyed his side comment about my novel slip-cover for Bluewater Shore ;- )
Cheers! Doug
