The funny thing about being a photographer and self employed is that things often snow ball. Like photographing a fund raising luncheon for a friend which led to photographing a few of Seattle Arts and Lectures events which led to my second season now photographing all of their events. And for those of you keeping score, yes, that means that this November I will be photographing Annie Leibovitz (OMG)...
So, some of my photos will be in City Hall for an exhibit...that's exciting! And look...I'm in a press release!
SEATTLE —A City Hall exhibition will feature writings by Seattle public school students and photographs capturing their interactions and discoveries, Sept. 17 to Oct. 10. Titled “Dive Down into the Loud,” the exhibition features 15 photographs and 15 pieces of student poetry and prose by students who participated in Seattle Arts & Lectures’ 2007-08 Writers in the Schools (WITS) program.
Seattle photographers Libby Lewis and Susie Fitzhugh captured the students at work in the WITS program. Their images show students reading their work, participating in classroom writing assignments and projects and attending local Seattle Arts & Lectures sponsored events.
A free reading and book signing of “Dive Down into the Loud,” featuring writings by the youth authors, will be held, 7 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 24, in the Bertha Knight Landes Room at City Hall.
The exhibition will be on display in the City Hall Lobby Gallery on the first floor and the Anne Focke Gallery located on the L2 level of City Hall, 600 Fourth Ave. City Hall is open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. For more information about the City Hall gallery program, call (206) 684-7171. The exhibition is presented by the Mayor’s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs.

Awesome news! Annie Liebowitz.... no pressure, huh?!!?
I thought I had already left a comment saying how cool this is, but I must have just thought about it. Boy am I ready to have some semblance of a brain again!
When in November is the big day? and speaking of November, what do you want for your birthday?
Congrats on the Seattle Arts & Lectures gig. (is that what you'd call it? a gig? calling it a "job" doesn't give it nearly the stature it deserves...) Way to go!
