I shared gallery space with 2 ladies &#8211; Brenda Cruz (3rd year MFA candidate at UH) and Elicia Garcia (newly minted MFA from UH). I was quite honored to have my work considered worthy to be shown along with that of these 2 very talented artists. Installation went off without a hitch and I am proud of what I was able to accomplish with my first show. The past few weeks have been devoted to working, reading, and thinking. Now it&#8217;s time to start fleshing out some of these things I&#8217;ve been pondering.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that means you have the privilege(?) of reading my ramblings as I stumble through the concepts of my chosen medium in order that I may become a better artist and photographer.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll save the question discussions for future blog posts. I still don&#8217;t have any answers to them myself, which is why I&#8217;m writing them out. Until the next time, I bid you good evening and leave you with the 4 ladies who made up my entry into Praxis at Main Street Projects (on through August).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_920\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Claire.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-920\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-920 \" alt=\"Claire (2012)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Claire-1024x945.jpg\" width=\"614\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Claire-1024x945.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Claire-300x276.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Claire-950x876.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Claire.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-920\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Claire (2012)<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_923\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Valerie.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-923\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-923 \" alt=\"Valerie (2012)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Valerie-1024x1024.jpg\" width=\"614\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Valerie-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Valerie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Valerie-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Valerie-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Valerie.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-923\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Valerie (2012)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_921\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Elicia.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-921\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-921 \" alt=\"Elicia (2013)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Elicia-1024x1024.jpg\" width=\"614\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Elicia-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Elicia-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Elicia-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Elicia-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Elicia.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elicia (2013)<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_922\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Megan.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-922\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-922 \" alt=\"Megan (2013)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Megan-1024x1024.jpg\" width=\"614\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Megan-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Megan-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Megan-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Megan-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.artistrichardcuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Megan.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Megan (2013)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The period around the end of May\/beginning of June was a whirlwind of activity as I was accepted into and had to set up for my first show, ever.
