Some friends and I have started a new photo blog...
http://photomedium.blogspot.com
The Photographic Medium
"The Photographic Medium is a forum designed to promote the production and discussion of photography. The contributors to this dialogue will propose their own topics and contemplate others. This is a composite of its members talents and a venue for creative output and artistic theory."
Each week there will be an assignment handed out by one of the members. All members will create a photograph for the assignment, post it to the blog, and contribute to the public critique of all the photos. I encourage anyone with an interest to add their input to the critiques and help us push forward with this sort of 'group motivation.'
Work is alread up, check it out...Photo Medium

Update
Yes, I know, it has been a while. Things have been progressing slowly. Sorry to the people I have not been in contact with concerning the Photo House 144, but it looks as though it will be too difficult to continue with any shows because of my schedule and the fact that I am moving out of the city at the end of May. I have had to make a decision to either throw together a show with only limited participation/interest, or get my own stuff together and start actually creating the projects that keep flowing through my head. Getting the pen on the paper, if you will. So here I go getting the pen on the paper...

The Photo House 144 Submission Guidelines
The Photo House 144 submission guidelines:
- E-mail files at 72 dpi resolution with a reasonable height and width for on-screen viewing (8 to 10" for example).
- No limit on number of images that can be submitted
- A separate title list with size of actual image, finished framed size, price and title for each piece
- That is it...seriously. I don't any money to look at work, and I don't want a bunch of overbearing requirements for artists to send in their work. I just want to look at a bunch of photographs and see which ones fit best within the space.
I am taking submissions now for the next two shows, with the cut off for sending in work as follows...
The Salon show in February : Submissions must be received by December 21, 2007
The Photographs as Objects show in May: Submissions must be received by March 28, 2008
Please don't hesitate to leave comments or e-mail me directly ( derek@dwillm.com ) with any questions...
Thanks.

The Photo House 144
Greetings...
So, it appears as though the opening gallery exhibition for The Photo House 144 will be delayed until Friday, October 5, 2007. I know the original date was for this Friday, Sept 7th, but my being away in Vermont for the summer on a photo job prevented the September show from occurring. Please accept my apologies for the late news, but I was fighting the deadline and trying to have the show remain on this coming weekend.
Mark your calender (this time in ink) for FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2007
The Photo House 144 presents the photographic work of:
Noemi Armstrong
Nicolas Gannon
Athena Petra Tasiopoulos
Drew Henry Tolbert
In a special, one-night-only display of artwork, accompanied by a limited number of handmade Photo House 144: Gallery Books, which include reproductions of the artists' displayed work as well as commentaries and writings by contemporary artists.
Please join us for this special event of art...

Delays, Neglect, Worries, and a Gallery back on track!
OK, so, apologies for the weeks of neglect to the blog and gallery, but rest assured that it was never far out of mind and it has always been my intention to carry on with the opening of my house as a gallery space. The pressure was mounting for a June opening until I dreadfully realized that the optimism I had was not shared by the realistic nature of setting up a gallery. So I put it off. Here now is the actual-probably never going to be changed-dates for The Photo House 144...
Friday, September 7, 2007 - Grand Opening Reception
"Young Photographers I Know"
Friday, February 1, 2008 - "A Salon of Photographic Artists"
Friday, May 2, 2008 - "Small & Delicate: Photographs as Objects"
Unfortunately these three shows will probably round out The Photo House 144's existence. I will most likely be moving next June and will have to close up shop on 144, but not to fear dear friends, as plans are underway for a lifetime of staring at photographs with the hopefully not-far-off opening of The Photo House : Gallery & Cafe. With the location TBA, it has already been decided that this indeed must be the course I follow (much more info on The Gallery & Cafe in the future). So these three photo exhibitions at 144 will be the major focus for the next 11 months, and I would be eternally grateful for any and all submissions and assistance in setting them up.
The Photo House 144 specifics:
- All shows run for one night only on the dates announced from 6-9pm
- Light refreshments will be served (I will not be serving alcohol, feel free to byo)
- A 10% commission on all artwork sold (A low fee because I too am an artist and although commissions are not fun, it is being run as a real gallery and must be seen as such)
- There will be limited copies of The Photo House 144 Gallery Book available for sale on the night of the opening (If demand is there, I might be persuaded to have a second run of books made immediately following the exhibition)
- There will be a "Casual Corner" wall space for any fun or unique photographs brought by visitors ( 144's version of a guest book)
The Photo House 144
To be seen as representing those artists utilizing photography who's images showcase strong individual sentiments. Whether in process, craft, or storytelling, the artists represented by 144 put forth their own photographic vision.
