This past week has marks the beginning of a decline in my riding. I'm preparing for graduation. I have been working on a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree as a part-time graduate student for a number of years and at the end of this semester I'll finally (hopefully) graduate. Between my work schedule, family, and school it feels as if riding is a luxury. I did manage to ride to the meet-up of the Top Secret Scooter Club on Monday. This took place less than a half mile from my home so obviously I had to take the six mile route to get there. It was raining hard when I left and my Gill Raincoast and Tourmaster OverPants worked nicely. I hate to say it but I sort of enjoy riding in the rain....
And of course there were commutes to work too but nothing really exciting took place. Just the joy of riding.
The image posted here I decided to use on the invitation postcard for my MFA Exhibition which opens on April 22. There won't be any scooter pictures in the exhibit but I really liked the shot so I figured what the hell. One person commented that it looked like I pick my pictures up along the road. I've thought about that and there is some truth to it. I certainly find my pictures while traveling whether literally or figuratively--through the world or through life.
Everything in my show will be black and white. Other than the pictures I post here all my work is done on film. The majority of the show will be comprised of images I have made of my wife Kim over the past seven years.
I will also have a small installation of landscape photographs which reflect the world I see through my wandering. As I continue working I feel a project emerging from my riding. I just don't know yet what it is....

Will the exhibition be open to the public? I'd love to see your work in real life, not just pixelated on this blog.
My show will run from April 22 to 29 in the Zoller Gallery at Penn State. The gallery is open from 9 to 5 daily I think. There is an opening from 6 to 8 on April 22.
