I’ll be debuting my work this Saturday at Arts Night, hosted by my former church, Chinese Bible Church of Maryland! This is the third Arts Night that the Young Adult ministry has hosted, and if you live in the area, you should definitely invite your friends and check it out! It’s an awesome event featuring performances by local artists and musicians, and also displays of visual art. I submitted several photos of my macro work, which you can find on my flickr site, and also some never before seen photos so you’ll just have to go and check out Arts Night to see them! I’m bummed that I can’t make it, so someone please update me later on how everything went!

The first time I attended Arts Night, I was just blown away at how much talent there was in the local community and in my church. I was really enjoyed the spoken word part of the night, and I was really touched how some people came forward for the first time to share their personal stories. A few weeks ago when I was working late for wedding photographer Anne Ruthmann, we took a break from editing photos and went to the Revolving Museum‘s Free Verse event. It was a great performance and reminded me of the atmosphere at Arts Night, and the support and encouragement people give each other. Coincidentally, they also have an event on Saturday, so if you’re in the Boston/Lowell area, check it out!
