<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
This is the artist statement that accompanied my 3 person exhibit at The Delaplaine this past December. I'm still fleshing out the official artist statement for my sculpture work but I thought I'd put this up there in case anyone was curious.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Artist Statement</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I began my artistic career in photography, and more recently made my mark on the art scene with black and white Holga images that were multiple-exposed in-camera and processed and printed in a traditional darkroom. I constantly strive to learn new art techniques, and made the switch to glass and steel sculpture in 2010 after taking a class at The Washington Glass School. After nearly two decades as a photographer, I had been looking for a way to expand upon my artistic endeavors in a way that blended my layered photographic style with a new direction and finally found a good match in these media.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; min-height: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Handwriting has always fascinated me, and so that was a fitting place to begin the content of my very first sculpture. A person’s penmanship reflects a great deal of personality that an email cannot equal, and I often miss receiving those highly personalized letters in the mail. In this age of digitization, doing anything by hand has become a lost art. Therefore, as a challenge to the modern trends in society, it seemed fitting to hand-work the physical sculpture by grinding the glass circles, welding the steel frames, and showcasing handwritten letters.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; min-height: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">My current body of artwork utilizes imagery and handwriting which I sandblast into glass, as well as imagery created with a dry plaster kiln-cast technique. Most of the writing I used was solicited especially for this body of work, though some was taken from old handwritten census reports and personal letters. By showing only small portions of the letters, combined with the chosen imagery, the viewer is given clues about the meaning of each piece but is ultimately left to fill in the blanks to arrive at an exact message. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 3px; text-align: center;">
<h2>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Artist Statement</b></span></h2>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10px; min-height: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I use my Holga camera as a way of digging deeper beneath the surface of my environment. By overlapping multiple images in a single frame of film, I am able to make connections that are not otherwise apparent, and was able to uncover a spirit in a city that I initially viewed as cold, corporate, and soulless.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Upon moving to the Washington DC metro area, I was challenged with making photos in an environment that was completely foreign to me. Everything around me seemed so standardized and clinical, devoid of any personality or individuality. I could not find my place, or my voice.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">After using my high tech cameras with little success, I decided to go back to basics and use a Holga camera to approach the task of making images in my city. The camera itself is incredibly simple – plastic, very few controls, and prone to irregularity. This method of making images placed much more of the emphasis on my own mind, for I have to decide what I want to say and how I want to make certain objects relate to each other, and then figure out how to translate that vision to film with minimal technical options. This process inevitably forced me to become more intertwined with my own environment, for I am taking the time to look for objects and shapes and textures that strike me, and might compliment each other well when overlapped in a frame. During all this, I found myself becoming more in tune to and comfortable with my surroundings while making my images. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The body of work I created depicting areas in and around Washington DC shows a city that I do not often see portrayed anywhere else. When most people think of the District, they think of the memorials, government, or other textbook accounts of the area. As with every place I have ever lived, the details are what make a place unique. Therefore the details are where I choose to focus my attention when making my urban Holga photographic images.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I have since taken my Holga camera on many trips to a wide variety of locations across the United States and beyond to make photos in this style while visiting, and have found success with incorporating my travel images into my overall portfolio. I have also incorporated more human portraits, forms, and elements into my work style since the origination of my DC series. This manner of making images is essential to me because it has allowed me to carve out a space for myself where before there was none. It reflects the way I see and feel in the world, as well as in the place that I call home.</span></div>

A while back I was contacted by the Arts In Embassies program because they wanted to display one of my Holga images in the US Embassy in Kosovo. I also just found out that I am officially on their web site as an Arts In Embassies artist! The web site is <a href="http://art.state.gov/artists.aspx">http://art.state.gov/artists.aspx</a> and the direct link to my profile is <a href="http://art.state.gov/ArtistDetail.aspx?id=167056">HERE</a> - if you go to the main site you will have to skip to page 5, where my profile is listed alphabetically. You can see the photo that they are displaying there, which is an image of the Dupont Circle Fountain that I photographed during one of our Sketchcrawls a couple of years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If I get photos of the print hanging on the wall in the Embassy in Kosovo, I will share them here. The image is a scan of the original film, printed 12x12 inches, and framed at 20x20 inches, so a little bigger than my normal display format. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So now I can officially call myself an internationally exhibited artist. :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">Artists included in this show will either show an original from their own collection in their own style or imitate each other's artistic style... or maybe both! The viewers exploring the works in the show will embark on a treasure hunt as they try to determine if a piece was done by the original artist or someone else. If the piece is a copy -- then who did the copy?</span></div>

The Optimist, A Death In The Family, and The New Religion installed together. My welded steel and glass sculptures are modular and able to be installed in a variety of configurations! Since it is quite a laborious process to create just one, let alone 3, of these sculptures, I do not have any new works to show yet for 2013, but am in the planning stages for the next creations...<br />
<br />
In other news, I have a new group exhibit coming up soon... more information on that in a later post. :)Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14105383269691621383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21299672.post-40806060085332693812012-11-19T23:14:00.002-05:002012-11-19T23:15:53.558-05:00Constructing Content<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In less than two weeks I will be exhibiting some brand new steel and glass sculptures in Frederick, MD. If that information alone does not make you want to journey to Frederick, I may be able to entice you with the fact that ultra-talented glass artists Sean Hennessey and Erwin Timmers will also be exhibiting with me! The three of us work primarily out of the Washington Glass School in Mount Rainier, MD (Erwin in Co-Director and Sean is a Resident Artist).<br />

<br />
<br />
i laid out all of the sculpture frames on the floor and began placing my objects to be cast into the openings to get an idea of what would go where, as well as figuring out how to balance the cast glass with the sandblasted glass. i think i came up with a good layout, and got all the elements ready to create the pieces that will fill the steel circles.<br />

luckily, everything so far has been successful, and the plaster cast glass came out great! sandblasting will be happening later this week, and in another month everything should be together and ready to be photographed!<br />

My artwork is located on the 9th floor in space #212, near the Peeps!<br />
<br />
I am always excited about Artomatic because it's soooo much fun, but also because I'm debuting 3 brand new steel and glass sculptures. This is a relatively new focus for me, and I have spent the past year and a half learning the skills of glass and metal work in order to create these pieces. It's quite a turn from my Holga photography of years' past, and I intend to take this new body of work even further as I continue to learn and hone my skills.<br />
<br />
A couple of key Artomatic events are listed below, but there are many more fun things to experience listed on AOM's web site.<br />

<br />
despite being an artist for decades, i only began seriously looking at collecting art after being more involved in the art dc art scene myself. to someone on the outside, the process of finding and purchasing art can be overwhelming, frustrating, and possibly intimidating. however, i can assure you that most local artists are not only down to earth, but will be more than happy to talk with someone about their art and process. also, lots of people think you need a ton of money to be able to afford to collect art. this is not always the case! there are so many awesome yet affordable pieces out there that are perfect for all levels and tastes of art collection. hopefully someone who has an interest in starting to collect local art and does not know where to begin can take something away from this post in that respect.<br />
<br />
as with sean's post, this is highly subjective. just because someone is not on this list doesn't mean they aren't a good artist - that would be silly. i'm also not really concerned with the investment potential of art, but rather if it will be a good fit for my personal aesthetic as well as a good fit for the logistics of how and where it will be displayed. in layman's terms, i buy art that moves me and will also fit within my budget and house and will not get knocked over by two huge and often crazy dogs. :)<br />
<br />
and yes, i own art by artists who are not from dc, but that is not the focus of this post. i am also proud to say that the bulk of my collection is made up of locals because honestly, there is so much talent right in this area that i rarely have to look elsewhere to find amazing art.<br />
<br />
<u>so up first, a list of many of the local dc area artists that i already own, and how i came to own them:</u><br />

(the pictures really do not do these artworks justice, but if you like, click on the images to see them larger...)<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://dcsean.com/home.html">sean hennessey</a>: i'll start with sean since he made the original post which spurred this one. i have known sean for almost as long as i've lived in dc, and have always wanted one of his artworks. i saw this concrete relief sculpture at artomatic some years ago and figured it was finally time to add him to the collection. sean is now working with concrete and glass media combined, and his work is beautiful. later this year we will be in an exhibit together which will focus on the use of glass, steel, and other mixed media of that nature, and i am excited about that!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jea3CVGvVMk/Tv-OxUnd17I/AAAAAAAAC6M/bqpBDqRsHLc/s1600/hennessey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W6eIydMXr6Q/Tv-PD6YmeTI/AAAAAAAAC6Y/SVz8gozbU2I/s1600/tribastone.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W6eIydMXr6Q/Tv-PD6YmeTI/AAAAAAAAC6Y/SVz8gozbU2I/s320/tribastone.png" width="250" /></a></div>2. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cbtribastone/collections/72157621743572545/">christian tribastone</a>: i first saw christian's work at artomatic and thought it was incredible. unlike a lot of the other artists whose work i like, i had not heard of him before that event so i stalked his display space until i finally got to meet him. i've since participated in quite a few sketch crawls with christian, and am constantly amazed by his ability to capture the essence of a scene. most of his work is architectural in nature, but the piece i chose is a bit different (from his inauguration series), though also typical of dc.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B2swWgrA-oQ/Tv-PKXfC3KI/AAAAAAAAC6k/tWTXL-pBODQ/s1600/mueller.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B2swWgrA-oQ/Tv-PKXfC3KI/AAAAAAAAC6k/tWTXL-pBODQ/s320/mueller.jpg" width="117" /></a></div>3. <a href="http://johannamuellerprints.com/home.html">johanna mueller</a>: i acquired this piece of johanna's from... yes, artomatic. do you see a theme here? ;) i had seen her work for a few years and thought her intricate prints were very cool. finally, i decided to add one to my collection when i saw this piece - several members of my family collect camels, and i thought this piece would be a nice thematic tie-in to that. johanna is the only washington dc artist whose work i own but who i have not met in person... and i will hopefully be able to rectify that in the near future.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f4kxRBqJ4xM/Tv-SY9w9GbI/AAAAAAAAC7g/XOlBxL7J6lo/s1600/welker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f4kxRBqJ4xM/Tv-SY9w9GbI/AAAAAAAAC7g/XOlBxL7J6lo/s320/welker.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>4. <a href="http://seanwelker.com/">sean welker</a>: sean left dc for chicago a couple of years ago, but when i purchased this piece from him he was still right in the center of the dc art scene. sean is an awesome friend and wildly talented, and i knew as soon as i saw this pen and ink series that i wanted one of his pieces for my own. the one i chose was displayed at the last artomatic, and luckily was not ruined (vandals struck his space that year and several of his pieces were casualties). in any case, i miss sean and being able to see this piece every day makes him feel a little bit closer in spirit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GZHkCcEYoYs/Tv-Qj-pvIwI/AAAAAAAAC6w/LFgiDgs1Wus/s1600/ellyn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GZHkCcEYoYs/Tv-Qj-pvIwI/AAAAAAAAC6w/LFgiDgs1Wus/s320/ellyn.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>5. <a href="http://www.danaellyn.com/">dana ellyn</a>: dana is a staple in the dc art scene and is quite a prolific painter. i had seen her work at artomatic for a few years running, but purchased this piece depicting <a href="http://www.danaellyn.com/presidents/taylor.html">president taylor</a> from her president series directly from her downtown dc studio. not only did i come away with this piece, but i got a personalized tour of her work space which was an added bonus.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N-6nhM1zz9I/Tv-QtDi1iqI/AAAAAAAAC68/tB2xlXLah6w/s1600/tibbot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N-6nhM1zz9I/Tv-QtDi1iqI/AAAAAAAAC68/tB2xlXLah6w/s320/tibbot.jpg" width="133" /></a></div>7. gina tibbott: i am not sure if gina is still in the dc area or not, but i was absolutely mesmerized by her display at artomatic a few years back and just had to have one of these awesome faux fossil sculptures. the bizarreness of the piece just makes me incredibly happy, and i am glad i was able to track her down to purchase it (she did not have a web site or contact info at her space so i had to use the google machine on the interwebs to find her).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YWc9vcQCjiE/Tv-RLKDDC4I/AAAAAAAAC7I/ZbkVhGjXfCw/s1600/herrera.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YWc9vcQCjiE/Tv-RLKDDC4I/AAAAAAAAC7I/ZbkVhGjXfCw/s320/herrera.jpg" width="248" /></a></div>8. <a href="http://www.bluefacekiller.com/">jeanette herrera</a>: jeanette is an awesome person and an awesome painter. her work is so bizarre and colorful that i immediately knew i wanted one. last year we made that happen when we purchased this piece from an exhibit in virginia. but, i first saw her work (and later met her) at artomatic, where she has participated for the last few years.<br />

<u>artists whose work i hope to acquire someday:</u><br />
all artists were first seen by me at... artomatic. and i have been stalking their web portfolios and brick and mortar exhibits ever since! this list is always morphing and growing as i am exposed to more local artists' work...<br />
<div><br />
</div><br />
1. <a href="http://www.philnesmith.com/">phil nesmith</a>: phil works primarily in 19th century photographic plate processes, so despite being a photograph, each piece is unique and fragile. he's had several exhibits locally and i am always impressed. because they are one of a kind and labor intensive, i am saving up so that eventually i will be able to buy one before they are all snapped up.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.michaeljanis.com/">michael janis</a>: michael's work with glass and imagery was one of the main inspirations for me to pursue my own work in glass. i am hoping that someday i can say i own one of his exquisite pieces of art.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.novietrump.com/">novie trump</a>: novie's sculptures captivated me. i saw a piece of hers last year that i loved, but sean hennessey beat me to it. i forgive him... and can't blame him for buying it because it was a beautiful piece. i always check out her displays and open studios, and one day, i will find the piece i was meant to have.<br />
<br />
4. <a href="http://www.gferrand.com/">gregory ferrand</a>: gregory's paintings are very illustrative and full of narrative, which is a quality that i love. again, having the money in hand AND being the first one to the piece i want is the challenge there.<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://www.shanthic.com/">shanthi chandra-sekar</a>: shanthi's work, especially her 6 foot tall spiral paintings, are intricate and mesmerizing. she also creates wonderful sculptures of wood and stone. additionally, the meaning behind the works are wonderful to hear.<br />
<br />
6. <a href="http://www.ericcardelli.com/">erica riccardelli</a>: being a photographer myself, i rarely feel the urge to buy photography. however, erica's work is eerie and stunning and i might one day find myself owning one of her artworks.<br />
<br />
<br />
in case you missed it, my main source of finding and purchasing new art thus far has been through <a href="http://artomatic.org/">artomatic</a> in some way. due to the volume and layout of artomatic events, they can be overwhelming, but they are also an awesome way to find new artists and get some pretty great art for not as much money as you think it might cost.<br />
<br />
there are also some great gallery spaces in dc and it's a less overwhelming way to see art than some of the bigger art events. most galleries and individual artists will put out information about their opening receptions, artist talks, etc, and if you are interested in a particular artist or piece of work, you should definitely check out these events. you can get a ton of information about the artist and artwork straight from the source while simultaneously seeing the artwork displayed in person. owning art is a whole lot cooler when you have met the artist. you can't beat that!<br />
<br />
lastly, most artists these days have web sites with methods of contact. as i mentioned before, most artists are more than happy to talk with or even meet with someone who is interested in buying a piece of work. everyone i've encountered while growing my art collection has been friendly and open in discussing everything from technique to materials to inspiration for their artwork, and many artists have studios that you can visit to see them in their natural habitat, if you will. sure, there are some people who might cop an attitude, but for the most part that is a rarity in the dc area.. at least in my experience.<br />
<br />
so, hopefully this very long post has been informative in some way. so go forth, find art that moves you, and don't be afraid to make it yours!Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14105383269691621383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21299672.post-10411718831116950562011-10-10T07:49:00.001-05:002011-10-10T07:49:00.179-05:00adventures in artwork packaging<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNuRZWZ80QoTVi0IvIK5iGOCED5kCIHQ-6TIfisLusSu17Jd1g8KrfIRdtgMHlCzl2GU8F0wXTyDSwzqR-0p4GfsJsDMYY15H_Ql_chPXwvC6MWlMNRz0Urui-a54p61kx79zg/s1600/destroyed_box_crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNuRZWZ80QoTVi0IvIK5iGOCED5kCIHQ-6TIfisLusSu17Jd1g8KrfIRdtgMHlCzl2GU8F0wXTyDSwzqR-0p4GfsJsDMYY15H_Ql_chPXwvC6MWlMNRz0Urui-a54p61kx79zg/s400/destroyed_box_crop.jpg" width="383" /></a></div><br />
it never fails that when i receive artwork back from an exhibit in another part of the country, the box looks like it's been through a war zone. i always start out with brand new, never before used boxes to ship off the artwork, and end up with something that barely resembles a box when i see them next.<br />
<br />
i recently found this on my doorstep - a package of 10 matted and framed holga artworks that i had sent to a gallery in indiana for a show there. luckily, the interior of this box contains not only the bubble wrap you see peeking out of the rather large gash in the box, but also several smaller boxes that have even more bubble wrap and the artworks inside.<br />
<br />
i am happy to report that not a single artwork was harmed in the shipping of this package. Here's to careful and what-seems-excessive-but-not-really packing. :)Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14105383269691621383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21299672.post-19928612725897548262011-08-18T08:38:00.000-05:002011-08-18T08:38:16.176-05:00Hi-Fi vs Lo-Fi<br />

i have another exhibit coming up very shortly, this time in the midwest. lala gallery in lafayette, indiana, had approached me about a show theme that involved the contrast of digital cameras vs film cameras, and thought my work would be perfect for the film side of things. the resulting exhibit is HiFi vs LoFi, and should be pretty interesting given all the different applications of both film and digital media. 10 of my holga images will be representing the LoFi side of things!<br />
<br />
*** the opening reception is on friday, august 19 from 6-10 PM, so if you are in the area please stop by and take a few pictures so i can see it all together. :) ***<br />

the exhibit runs until september 9th. find it here:<br />

I wanted to celebrate their 10th anniversary by giving students an opportunity to exhibit their work in Gallery 555dc. Running and managing a school takes hard work, long hours and dedication – then more hard work. To celebrate a 10th Anniversary in the art world is a rare thing and a tribute to the founders and teachers of the Washington Glass School.”</span></span></span></span></span></div></div>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14105383269691621383noreply@blogger.com0555 12th St NW, Washington D.C., DC 20004, USA38.8967356 -77.0280391999999675.583621100000002 -136.79366419999997 72.2098501 -17.262414199999967tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21299672.post-38697376695255211502011-04-07T20:40:00.001-05:002011-08-18T08:49:32.938-05:00Black Rock Exhibit Openingfor those of you who have wanted to see my latest holga prints in person, now is your chance!

my friend paco (rob) is being photographed while photographing. he's using an iphone (hipstamatic and instagram are his apps of choice), and i'm using a hasselblad xpan II and kodak tmax 400 film. i have to say, after seeing his pics, i'm very, extremely, utterly tempted to get an iphone simply for the built in camera. no, it will not take the place of my holga, xpan, or other film cameras... but it would be awfully handy to have everything together in one device so that i have a camera on me at all times. the camera you carry is the camera you use, as they say.<br />
<br />
don't worry. i'll never be turned completely to the digital side. :)Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14105383269691621383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21299672.post-28654096893226361882011-01-07T08:23:00.000-05:002011-01-07T08:23:00.644-05:00film fridays - citiwide<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyJ3KOYlAvKtqc1LDthgDSbK1vNwu1MApgmAMqlzrKg-WpF0bQY9-KMSPa7VK8SWKRhNxxr2dQUIjUeTQ92m7eo-lvJCwP6BQiH66fghZSjh73qPnTOo9C9hL8ocE6pLryibG-/s1600/citiwide.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyJ3KOYlAvKtqc1LDthgDSbK1vNwu1MApgmAMqlzrKg-WpF0bQY9-KMSPa7VK8SWKRhNxxr2dQUIjUeTQ92m7eo-lvJCwP6BQiH66fghZSjh73qPnTOo9C9hL8ocE6pLryibG-/s640/citiwide.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
