Into the Woods Photobook!
As I promised, I've completed the photobook of "Into the Woods". The book is available for ordering online at Blurb.com.
Here's the link:
In case anyone is interested, here's the link to my self-published photobook on Coney Island. These photos were taken in August, 2008, while participating in a worldwide photowalk event. These photos are special because Coney Island is in the midst of big changes due to re-developement. These may be the last pictures you'll see from the Astroland amusement park. Order a copy if you'd like! Here's the link:
Enjoy! Ivan.

May is B-Day month! Dad's is the 7th, Julianne's is the 11th, and mine is the 9th. Time to celebrate, and do something fun. Mother's day is comming up on sunday to!
Work is busy as ever. Doing some fun design work for an IT conference, and another one for an IT symposium! It's IT madness.
For june, I'll be heading to Austin Texas for the HOW design conference. I'll see my friend and InSource Colleague Andy Epstein there, and our friend Lisa Bebee. Lisa lives in Austin and promised to show me around. I'm looking forward to it, and hope to take lots of pictures.

Into the Woods
I volunteered again to photograph our daughters' high school play. Ali attends Bergen Academy for the Performing Arts, in Hackensack NJ. This is a magnet school consisting of seven schools.
The seven Academy's are:
Business & Finance
Culinary Arts & Hotel Administration
Engineering & Design Technology
Medical Science Technology
Telecommunications & Computer Science
Advnacement of Science & Technology
Visual & Performing Arts
Rated one of the finest high schools nationwide, we are so fortunate our daughter attends. This is her senior year, and we are all looking ahead to her moving on to college next year!
The performance AVPA just completed of the broadway musical "Into the Woods" was simply amazing. The kids performed flawlessly an it was my pleasure to assist by providing photography.

I don't know what!
I began to experiment some more with my photography. A bit more Photoshop manipulation that I care to do normally. Photowalks have been few and far between lately, and I've had to find other ways. I've been "torn" on a direction to take. What is my creative voice? What do I wish to do or say? Where will this take me? I'm "split" in so many ways on what to do! There's endless possibilities, yet my time behind the camera has been minimal. Not by choice, it's just the way it is, trying to figure out what to do that inspires me. I like mystery, so I started a series on "ambiguity". I file them in a folder called...I don't Know What!

Spinning wheels
Recently, we helped our daughter buy her first car. Found it on Craig's list, and picked it up last Saturday. It needs work, so it'll need to go into the shop soon to fix some of the problems. Hopefully there won't be any surprises or major repairs. It's the chance you take with used cars. Aly is so excited with it, and she get's her license this week. Time flies, seems like only yesterday we were pushing strollers.
Our youngest daughter is now a freshman in high school, and doing her best to fit in. She's struggling a bit with some friendships, but I know she'll work things out.
It's been difficult finding time to take pictures. I'm so anxious, it's been frustrating. I've stolen time here and there, but not enough. It's become apparent, when I felt compelled to post shots my dad had taken thirty eight years ago, of a family vacation in the Bahamas, instead of posting my shots. I just did not have enough to show that were good. The Bahamas was a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation. My dad had become friends with a co-worker during his days as an art director for IBM. Hi friend, John Woodside had left IBM in the early 1960's to pursue his passion for boats.
He found a wrecked wooden ship, in long island (exactly where, I don't know), and he restored it to pristine condition. The Priscilla was a beatiful boat, and we were invited to sail with the Woodsides and go island hoping in the Bahamas. Wow. See my Flickr photos to see the scans of the slides my dad shot. I love these shots.
Bahamas Vacation, 1970
John Woodside passed away around ten years ago, but he is certainly missed by our family for being our great friend. One of the most fascinating persons I've ever met.
