melon seeds
a few days ago i made a rosary with melon seeds for my dad. i wrote my brothers' and my name on each seed, back and front. while speaking to the washer/dryer repair guy the other day, i was absentmindedly moving around seeds that i had laid out on a newspaper to dry. one of those happy accidents, i guess....

NYFA supports "a priori"
the new york foundation for the arts accepted my proposal for a new photography project to their fiscal sponsorship program and granted it non-for-profit status. this means that donations to my project (titled "a priori") are tax deductible and nyfa 's stamp of approval will lend "a priori" greater credibility in the eyes of sponsors.
“a priori”, titled after Kant’s notion of valid knowledge independent of experience, focuses on the second and third generation of descendants of european jews. i intend to create portraits of members of this generation who were unaware of their jewish ancestry until later in life. i also want to record their stories, how and when they found out about their family heritage, whether it has affected their lives, and why it was kept a secret for years, even after the war. i envision the photographs and stories published together in a book.
