Thanks to Julie Boyer for the donation and purchase of “Nomad” by Will Pollock. This hawk came to visit the Stapletons on Myrtle Street and Will ran out in his skivvies to take the picture. This is one of three pictures he was able to snap before the hawk flew away.

I’ll be offering four pieces for our event. They are:
- Madaket Sun. Growing up on Nantucket gave me unusual access to one of the most beautiful places on earth. This image was shot along an inlet near Madaket Beach, right at sunset. Custom framing by JD Isaacs at Rose Squared Gallery & Framing.
- Hendrix Bloom. An accidental homage to the late, great Jimi Hendrix, this image was taken at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens during a recent visit with my parents. The Hendrix song, “Purple Haze” was apparently inspired by a dream Hendrix had where he was walking under the sea, and was engulfed by a purple haze and got lost. I got lost in this bloom when I took it, and hopefully you will, too.
- Nomad. I got a call from my neighbor Jim Stapleton that a hawk had landed in the backyard and that I should grab my camera and shoot it. So, I did. The guy didn’t stay long and looked as though he had lots of other places to visit. This was the shot I got off in time before he scooted away.
- Wake Up/Brilliance. Named for the Melissa Etheridge song, “I Need to Wake Up,” this simple sunrise image was shot in Chautauqua, N.Y., and reminded me of the importance of seeing each day as new, fresh and brilliant. “I am not an island/I am not alone/I am my intentions/trapped here in this flesh and bone” is the lyric that has stuck with me all this time, and this scene reminded me of that. This song was the single motivator for starting ARTvision back in 2006.
See you tomorrow!

First-ever 'Quad Collaboration' with "Tis of Thee..."
(15 November 2011 :: Atlanta & Chicago) This is one of the coolest stories of this year’s ARTvision.
The tale begins with AlexisCoram and her website, PhotographProse.com. I’ve been a contributor to this site for some time, most recently with “No Regrets from the Greener Sanctuary,” a poem I wrote set to Zed Boucher-Myers’ photo to commemorate Thom Anderson’s new counseling space.
The point of PhotographProse is to join writers and photographers in an online environment, to collaborate and tell stories and exchange creative ideas. Very much in line with the ARTvision philosophy.
Fast forward to this past September 11, when I loaded a photo entitled “Pride” to my blog, shot on the streets of Provincetown, Mass., to accompany a blog post about the 10th anniversary of that horrific day. Unbeknownst to me, longtime ARTvision artist Brenda Knosher jumped on the site and wrote “’Tis of Thee” as a prose reflection of the image and day.
From that point, I got it in my nutty head to ask my mother, Mary Pollock, to use her expert calligraphy in “typesetting” the poem on a piece of archival art/drawing paper. I found the perfect frame, too, at Binders and have since distressed the interior to match the color of the door.
The quad-collaboration was hence born, and so we’re offering “’Tis of Thee,” to Positive Impact donors for $400. Thanks to Alexis, Brenda, my mother for contributing to this cool storyline. - WP
