I'll be helping put on the Obscurae Photography Exhibit and Art Lottery on September 19th in Braddock, PA:

Change is underway in Braddock, Pennsylvania as groups working with and within the community bring renewed energy to a town that many wrote off. Inspired by the town’s potential for grassroots urban renewal, many artists, social entrepreneurs, community organizers, urban homesteaders and others with a pioneering spirit are using the inherent energy in Braddock to fuel their creativity. It is with this spirit that OBSCURAE views the maligned town – turning a photographic eye towards the borough’s oft-overlooked beauty and the spaces amidst the former grandeur and “urban blight” that Braddock has come to represent for many in the Pittsburgh area.

While the event is free to attend, tickets are available at www.obscuraegallery.org for $45 and will guarantee that you take home art from the show. This is a great way to help support the desperately needed revitalization work in Braddock and get a one-of-a-kind photographic piece for a great price. You don't have to be in the Pittsburgh area to participate, I'll be there and I'm willing to proxy any out-of-towners, just get in touch.
