Detail of progress on piece.   Opening Friday, January 13, 7-9 PM 1632 U ST NW   It’s a new year, I made some new work. Specifically a piece exploring unemployment through fellow photographer, Dafna Steinberg’s experience. Dafna lost her job during our show Document the Fresh in December where she infamously killed off her alter ego Lady Glock. With words of reflection and realistic imagery the piece asks the important question, “Healthcare or Freedom?”  The opening party is Friday January, 13, 2012 at Smith Center for Healing and the Arts 1632 U Street NWWashington DC, DC 20009202.483.8600www.smithcenter.org

Made in the USA? Somehow this blog post got lost, so I’m starting over. I know so many creative designers, why don’t we make any clothes here in the USA. Not one piece of my clothing today was made in the USA, I need to do better. dreamhampton1: (Original post from Daniel Alexander  on Google+, I’m just helping to spread the word. Reblog this)   I spotted this poor lady initially on Thanksgiving Day looking for work as I was leaving the York Road Shopping Center in Baltimore (http://g.co/maps/2ymdz). I felt so helpless and guilty because she wasn’t asking for money, but for a steady job. It was beyond me. It was especially sad because this was someone who should be enjoying retirement, but can’t. The next day, I thought to take a picture of her and her sign to post it online to have her exposed to more people. When I went to find her though, she wasn’t there. I was in the area today, and coincidentally, there she was: Still asking for help as cars were exiting the plaza. I finally approached her and asked if I could snap a picture so I can put her ad online in the hopes that someone out there would be able to find something for her.  So, here it is.  If you know someone looking for a seamstress, will you please tell that person about Gail? If you yourself can help, please reach out to her. Gail can be contacted at 443-810-0561. If you can’t help, at least share this post so that someone following you can.Thank you.
