After the Pumpkin Festival

I had a great time at Half Moon Bay’s Pump­kin Fes­ti­val this year. Thanks to Made on the Coast sup­port­ing local artists, I had a booth sell­ing my pho­tographs on Main Street which pro­vid­ed an oppor­tu­ni­ty to meet so many peo­ple and get some expo­sure.

If you asked about up com­ing projects, here are a few links.

Pigeon Point Light­house Pro­jec­tion Event

PPLS projection test-1

Sat­ur­day, Novem­ber 15th is the annu­al cel­e­bra­tion of the first light­ing in 1872 and they nor­mal­ly have activ­i­ties and music dur­ing the day. Since the Fres­nel lens was removed in 2011, they no longer light the orig­i­nal lamp, an event that attract­ed thou­sands of peo­ple. This year I will be pro­ject­ing images of the coast­side and past light­ings onto the light­house to bring back some of that expe­ri­ence and raise aware­ness of the restora­tion chal­lenges. Look to the light­house as it gets dark. Read more about the light­house here.

This event is made pos­si­ble through a gen­er­ous grant from the Made on the Coast Emerg­ing Artist pro­gram and the Half Moon Bay Beau­ti­fi­ca­tion Com­mit­tee.
