Local church hopes Darfur photo gallery will raise awareness
Daily Northwestern – Oct 19, 2007
The presentation at Lake Street Church 607 Lake St is part of the exhibit’s two-week tour though the Chicago area that ends Sunday. “It really is a crisis of unfathomable proportions” said Ann-Louise Haak associate minister at Lake Street Church. For Haak the Darfur crisis echoes the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide in 1994.

ne of the most appealing things about this gathering of some 400 treasures is the mix with knockout paintings keeping period company with small sculptures elaborate table furnishings decorative platters Meissen knockoffs of Chinese pottery a porcelain birdcage and vases and such. Strolling through the galleries you’ll find treasures like “Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy” (about 1594-95) said to be the first authentic Caravaggio in an American museum; Fra Angelico’s poignant poetic fragment “Head of an Angel” (about 1455-50); and Francisco de Zurbar?s fearsome portrayal of a dead martyr “Saint Serapion” (1628). But the pi? de r?stance is an entire gallery made into an art and curio cabinet with a planned clutter of brilliant objects that play to a viewer’s inner acquisitor: exotic shells mounted in gold; an extraordinary Baroque ivory carving (presumed to be before 1650) of Adam and Eve; an automatic tabletop clock (about 1619) with a standing lion that could roll its eyes open its jaws and stick out its tongue when the hours struck. Dazzlement prevails. 600 Main Street Hartford (860) 278-2670… This quietly revisionist show momentarily banishes the apple-cheeked babies buxom women bathing beauties and flower still lifes that account for Renoir’s wild popularity to reveal the wide-ranging gifts of his inner landscapist. It erodes the image of Renoir as often on automatic pilot churning out sentimental rubbery-surfaced works by underscoring the variety and liveliness of his brushwork his sensitivity not only to natural light but also to natural form and his ability to absorb from other artists without ever losing his own voice.

Appleton Post Crescent – Oct 19, 2007
I started the night in Kaukauna covering the Kaukauna vs Appleton East football game. I needed to get a cover shot for our sports section from this game as well as enough photos for a photo gallery for our website. I was hoping to accomplish this during the first half. I photographed cheerleaders and members of the school marching band before the start of the game and I managed to get a few action shots that I thought would look nice on the cover. I actually was able to leave the field during the middle of the second quarter. I like to be organized in my photography.
