As they say, all good things come to an end. In early 2011, I was asked to display some work at one of my favorite venues in town, the Paramount Theatre. Little did I know, 5 years later, these images would still be on display.
Recently, I was informed they will be taking down the show at the end of the month and opening up this opportunity to other photographers and artist. I have an endless amount of gratitude to the Paramount Theatre, Seattle Theatre Group, and in particular Lauren Daniels and Jason Ross. Without them, this dream would not have been a reality.
To date, this is one of my proudest accomplishments as a photographer. Not only is it work that I'm extremely proud of, but it helped connect me with an amazing community of other photographers, artist and musicians. If you happen to be at the Paramount before the end of the month, stop in the bar on the first level and check them out. You can also read more about the project and work here:
