On the way to the Cliffs of Moher in what is known as The Burren in western Ireland, we came across this beautiful castle that overlooks the Aran Islands. In three short months, Becky and I will debut our Emerald Expressions exhibit at the Ludington Center of the Arts. We are hoping to turn this into more than just a photography exhibit and plan on holding cultural and educational programs about Ireland. If you have an interest in Ireland and would like to participate, please feel free to contact us.

We would like to now share those photographs with the world through our exhibit, Emerald Expressions. We are seeking investors to help us make this possible. Our exhibit will debut at the Ludington Area Center for the Arts in March 2012 and will then part of the exhibit will also be our 2012 Grand Rapids Art Prize entry.

Ireland dreaming

Cruising along N59 in County Galway, we came across this beautiful view, just outside of the village of Letterfrack. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about Ireland. I really believe I could live there, at least for a few months out of the year. It’s really hard to put words to how magical this country is. Of course, America is absolutely amazing and offers endless beauty. And, though I may be a little biased, I think Michigan is second to non when it comes to our beaches and sunsets. But, there is just something about Ireland that I love.

I think it’s a combination of geography, history and culture. That sounds kind of cliche but it’s true. Plus, the people of Ireland are just amazing. By no means do I consider myself an expert on Ireland. I have only been there twice. But, I can say without a doubt that I will be there many more times. So far one of my favorite places is what the Irish call Connemara, a region located in County Galway.

In March Becky and I will be exhibiting our photographs from last May’s trip to Ireland at the Ludington Area Center for the Arts. I also plan on exhibiting my prints in Art Prize 2012 in Grand Rapids.
