The past two weekends have been pretty intense, the first being the LACP Exposure Weekend immediately followed by subsequent weekend that was an extended workshop on self-examination. So you could saw that one weekend was listening to others and the other was listening to myself. And both weekends are impacting how I examine my project... Continue Reading →
Mini Portfolio effective alternative at Portfolio Reviews
This is a quick assessment following up on my recent article about preparing for a Portfolio Review, which I had the pleasure (and angst) to be sitting on both sides of the review table.

Middle Ground – Book + print box set final development
With the ongoing border wall issues created by the current American president it just seems that my Middle Ground project will always have some relevancy.
